[action/video] First Remembrance

[notsogrimreaper]

[Action]

[Those who live in room 4-12 (if there are any) or people simply passing by will be surprised to find a new arrival here, dressed in that bodysuit, and purple collar latched snugly around his neck. Not that Ryoji seems to notice, he's still peacefully dreaming away...

For now.

As soon as he wakes up, all hell will break loose, once Ryoji realizes he's alive, his world has been ended, and he's stuck here, unable to escape and keep the residents safe.

...Wake him?]

[Video]

[A few hours later, Ryoji makes a post to the network. The video feed reveals his face, still pale from all the distress, that collar, and his shoulders, which are stiffened. He works his lip for a long while before speaking, not really knowing what to say.]

I... ended everything. The Fall happened, and I was right, no one could stop it. N-Not even Minato-kun.

[He sighs shakily, lowers his head. There's a few moments of silence, but observant listeners will hear sobbing and a whispered mantra: "I'm so sorry, so sorry..."

Then he looks up, smiling weakly, all signs of sadness desperately hidden.]

So... would anyone like to h-help me out? I'm lost...

Re: voice

No. One should think you'd be wise enough to realize kidnappers are not the most trustworthy of people.

[notsogrimreaper]

[You can practically hear the embarrassed blush in his voice.]

I guess I should know that... but um, do you know me?

[firstofthefallen]

I do.

You know me, although in a very periphery sense. I can only interact with your world, which is a shoot off that has been cut off twice from its original form, through a very specific means. In truth, it'd be easier to say that your host had known me.

That, in a way. He is I, and I am he.

[notsogrimreaper]

You... sound so familiar. And if you know me...

[Not to mention all the original world nonsense, and who is his host...]

Lucifer?

[firstofthefallen]

Correct.

You'll find from others, I'm sure, that you've been here before Appraiser.

Though. If you can't remember I wouldn't allow it to bother you.

[notsogrimreaper]

I've been here? Before everything happened?

[That's a surprise. Everything was so different and terrifying... how could he be this nervous if he'd apparently seen it all before?]

I guess I don't remember. Sorry, Lucifer-san.

[firstofthefallen]

A few of you had. I met you once when you still resided in your host. And another you, who had been born as his own person. And a you who seemed to have known about your end.

The connection of worlds here is odd, even for I. And seems to connect versions of your world unknown before now.

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah... I-I don't remember any of those times. So there are different versions of me? Of people in my world?
