[so here we go, here's an image of the indoor waterfall, a round bed, and a very tired looking shou sitting on the round bed in loose sweat pants and not much else. he was drying his hair and it looks like he got it cut and styled differently than the braids he had pulsed back.]

You know what the worse thing to have after spending 15 hours in the air? Pulses coming back on top of having jetlag. I feel like I've been trying to run uphill for days. So anyways, anyone wanna tell me what has been happening?

[he tosses the towel off to the side and lays down on his stomach, so there's a close-up of his face and part of his shoulders.]

Oh yeah, just so you know, leaving the town doesn't get rid of everything. I got to Japan and I thought that everyone here was part of a kinda LARP group or something.

And Kei, you really are a bad influence to orphans.

:Shou!:

[Have an excited horse who is happy to fill you in on everything that's happened from her perspective.]

:I missed you. Will you come to the stable tomorrow? There was pink light above another city everyone says. Also there was a pod at someone's house that wouldn't go away. And Torin is a very small gryphon now. I recognized him after he echopulsed arms. And I ate an entire carrot cake.:

[ursoreckless]

Yes, I'll be stopping by tomorrow, 'Wen.

[he smiles though it is a rather tired smile what with the jetlag and stuff.]

I saw the light; we were passing close by and everyone was worried about the plane crashing.

A pod? Wait, a gryphon? And you had cake where?

[wingsister]

:Yes. It was called an 'I pod' but that isn't how words are supposed to be used, so I've just been calling it a pod. And Torin is the gryphon. He used to be a parrot named Tater and he had a very deep voice, but he has arms so he's a small gryphon. And the cake was at a cafe. There was this very nice young colt who was having people eat whole cakes with him.:

[gobybessie]

You mean you forgot your pulses but you could still connect to the network?

[Voice]

[ursoreckless]

No... It was more like this was a weird kind of group of role players or something and we hung out doing weird stuff in costumes. [he yawns and tries to figure out how to describe it]

Kinda like... a club that dresses up and reacts stuff from history books.

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

And that was your memory of all this?

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

But you still remembered everybody and that there was a reason you talked to them, right? Even when you were in Japan?

voice

[ursoreckless]

Define the word 'remember'. It was like a crazy drunken dream gone wrong that lasted for nearly a year.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Enough that you wouldn't wonder why the hell people would be texting you.

[All Shou sees is a sword]

Sword.

[ursoreckless]

Do you know how to use it?

video

[youngestone]

Yup. Came with the sword, thankfully. I'd hate to lose a hand or something to it.

[Voice]

[espigeonage]

Yeah, it's not such a good escape anymore. Pity! But, now I can skip town for a few hours to watch a movie, anyway.

[Voice]

[ursoreckless]

Yah, I guess that it would've been nice that you could have gotten away from this.

[espigeonage]

I was sort of counting on it! Aaah, should've known the hair was going to bite me eventually. [he was on the news, and recognizable even without the wings.] But I can remember most things anyway, outside. It just feels kind of indistinct.

[Video]

[chalicejoker]

I don't know what's happening, but things have gotten even weirder somehow. I've seen walking playing cards, a walking pencil, and a walking eraser, among other things.

[He sounds distinctly annoyed at the cards in particular.]

Welcome back.

[Video]

[ursoreckless]

Wait, walking junk? Do you think it's like those black fairy things?

Thanks, it's good to be back. I can sleep on my bed again.

[Video]

[oncedevil]

Shit, sounds like fun. How's your head?

[You certainly look like you're feeling great and all, Shou.]

Wait, so you still kind of remembered? How weird.

[Video]

[ursoreckless]

Feels like mush, if you want me to be honest.

[he grins and shrugs, hiding a yawn with a pillow.]

Kinda yeah. Like I was drunk or high for most of the year or something. It was weird.

So, have you ever rode a Lamborghini?

[Shiro is just going to flop on the bed next to Shou after he finishes his broadcast. Soba the cat jumps up on his back because cat. Shiro looks up at Shou sidelong and twitches his tail]

Sorry about the stereo speaker. How was Japan?

action;

[ursoreckless]

[shou is tired and a little huffy because ouch memories so he'll just sort of pokes him before realizing that something's different.]

Is that a tail? [lifts his head long enough to squint at it before eh, too much trouble.]

I'll replace it tomorrow. Father was being very grumpy, mother was being very clingy and it seems I have enough in my accounts to rebuild downtown if I pull it all outta my investments but lawyers say to leave alone.

[yawns] The graves were nice and quiet. I spent a lot of time there, cleaning.

[occasus]

What are you talking about

voice;

[ursoreckless]

Other you taught me and Toshi how to pick locks and stuff, and told us how to get away so the cops won't catch us.

Also.

Where are you?

text;

[unelven]

It's unfortunate how accurate comparing this to a LARP really is.

voice;

[ursoreckless]

Yah. I don't recall dressing up too weird, but I knew I was doing a ninja gangster thing that wasn't in sync with the whole magical girl thing that the rest of the people were doing?

It was a weird feeling.
