003; reset

If I must state one thing, and state it concisely, I shall say this: interesting. Considering I was just moments ago on a planet that would, at random moments, burst into sectional flame, I feel this is rather apropos. Maybe I’m dead. I doubt it, I expect death is less substantial than this – filled with less coruscations.


I almost prefer the fire and the quaking. At least there was some means of constant entertainment; this seems like I’ve simply been put in a dark room with a...

[a very long pause, in which he seems rather confused]


I've just had a sudden case of deja vu... I've never had deja vu before.

Mr. Seta?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

...Mu? Yes, that is your name, isn't it...



I can't- seem to recall where I am, precisely. Its familiar, but...

[lamb_of_gold]

Yes, I am Mu.

You're on the Astral Plane. Several hours ago, you were taking a census of those gathered here...

...what happened?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

... Was I? Hm. I don't - I don't quite recall that at all.

[a pause, then a frustrated growl]


I'm not quite sure.

[lamb_of_gold]

You certainly were.

Your sudden amnesia is quite worrysome. You don't seem the type to simply....forget things.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not. I can... I can remember names, and people, but I cannot recall where I am?


... Quite worrisome, actually.

[lamb_of_gold]

Considering the nature of this place, I wonder if those strange twins or that woman had something to do with this.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Lapis and Lazuli, Meredith-

I can recall them as well. How long have I been here, exactly?

[lamb_of_gold]

About as long as I, so approximately five days.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

... It seems I can't recall a single one of them.

[lamb_of_gold]

I wonder, perhaps, if they feared you were on the verge of learning something?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

...You're certainly not the only one.

[he's taken aback for a moment]

Wait- no. Doctor, when did you- ... No, you haven't worn beige for a while.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[his brow furrows]

No. No, I have not.

[he steps closer]

Did something happen to you, Master?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he's quiet for a few moments, obviously wracking his memory for something]


I think something might have.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[he peers at him for a moment before speaking, even and quiet]

We met here several days ago. I'm from a different reality, as are many of the people milling about.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[a pause]

That would explain why I remember two of you.


But I've just arrived here... or- something has been tampering with my memories.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[a slow nod]

That seems the likeliest explanation, yes.

Perhaps you knew too much. I doubt Meredith and the Twins want their experiment unravelled.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Experiment.


This is an experiment?

[a growl of frustration]

If I've told you anything important, anything at all, I would vastly appreciate that you retell it to me.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[a grim, sardonic smile is his only answer to the question]

Do you remember us meeting, face to face?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

I do and at the same time, I don't.
