[nonacquiescent]

Ugh, hi, I guess they found me again. If anyone's wondering, being alone in a destroyed world might just be worse than the tower, but it's a tough call.

So, what did I miss?

[Feel free to action it up and find Waver in person too! Aside from at the computers he's likely to be found in the cafeteria, media room and library.]

[would you like to give your older!notself a heart attack, waver]

[Because he's just over in a corner of the library reading a book and looking like his usual sunglasses-wearing loser self in a ponytail. Someone hasn't bothered to check the terminals today, apparently.]

[action]

[nonacquiescent]

[Waver grins to himself when he sees his counterpart. It's time for him to be the one to do the teasing of others!!! He makes his way over and taps the other on the shoulder.]

Excuse me, I'm looking for someone, I wonder if you could help...

[action]

[fionnuisce]

Hm--

[Wait a second, that voice was awfully familiar. Waver looked up and pretty much immediately turned white, dropping his book and making a genuine effort not to scream like a girl.]

Wh-wh-when did you get back?!

[text]

[gamechamp]

sorry, I'm a busy person. I don't have the time to keep track of every bottomfeeder that comes and goes.
try letting me know when you were ejected from this hellhole to begin with, and maybe I'll get back to you.

[text]

[nonacquiescent]

Hi Shinji. I know you remember me.

You expect me to keep track of time in a place like that? I don't know, it was around late May.

[gamechamp]

hell no. I just don't want to waste more time than I have to by repeating garbage you already know.
alright, so, the counter on these things is new to you, then?

[It was rather odd seeing the smaller Waver in the cafeteria after having met his adult counterpart, but it was nice nonetheless to see someone from home once more.

Always the cheerful person, Iri rose from her own meal and approached the young magus with a cheerful look on her face.]

Hello there, Waver. Have you been well?

[action]

[nonacquiescent]

Ah, Irisviel, right? You came back too?

[He offers a bit of a smile. He hadn't known her well during the war or in the tower, but she'd always seemed like a smart and reasonable person, therefore he liked her.]

Re: [action]

[pure_as_snow]

[Irisviel blinked several times in confusion.]

That's strange...I don't remember having ever been here before.

[oathshackledbird]

Waver? You're back!

[Yes, apparently someone hasn't lost his talent for stating the obvious. Though, considering how many people have been sent away over the last few months, the last thing Diarmuid expected was to see one of them again.

He'd hoped, but he hadn't expected.]

Waver will be glad to know--

[He laughs.]

That just sounds wrong somehow...

[nonacquiescent]

You'll have to tell me how much he missed me - if I know myself, he definitely won't let me know himself.

[video]

[irreverence]

[Squin...ting...]

You look familiar.

[video]

[nonacquiescent]

You don't.

[puppy_lancer]

Well, uh...a whole lot, actually.

[nonacquiescent]

I'm starting to see that. This place just gets better and better.

[marriedthebloke]

[Sola-ui has to double-take when she sees the figure at the terminals.]

Waver!

[She's rushing forward to hug someone who she thinks is her daughter.]

Re: action

[nonacquiescent]

[Waver shouts wwhen he feels her arms around him, tensing up.]

W-what?!

[Action] - Cafeteria?

[bashfulshifter]

[Hum-de-dum, stupid pumpkins, gotta eat something, ho hum...]

[...Oh, there's Waver. Better wave at him at least, don't want the fellow thinking he's ignoring him. Looks shorter than he remembered, must just be sitting down or--]

[Rick does a full double-take. After waving him down, the blonde man is probably staring at bit too incredulously for Waver not to notice.]

[nonacquiescent]

[Waver looks up when he notices the waving, but not recognising Rick, assumes it's meant for someone behind him.

Of course, then there's the stare.]

Can I help you?

action / cafeteria

[axeforasong]

[Mayu has seen the long-haired scientist about a few times; on the network, just in general and so on; and as a bodyguard, even for a different group, it's fair to say they're meant to be kept an eye on, right?]

Ah! You cut your hair!

[...no, wait-]

And shrunk!

[that's got it]

[nonacquiescent]

...

Try a different person.

Or, well, sort of the same person, but, duplicates.

Video

[kindofademon]

You came back! I was actually sort of worried about you kind of!

[Hey, having your soul used as a battery is worse than murder, okay.]

[nonacquiescent]

As if you would worry about anyone - especially me.

[vermicompost]

[Kariya is in the cafeteria himself, eating oatmeal as if he's just arrived as well. When the sad truth is... he really can't eat the other food. Even if it's all illusory, it still has an effect on his illusory stomach. So--watery oatmeal it is.

He's not in the best shape, drained and wan and lacking half an arm, but he's resilient. When he sees Waver he blinks and appears to brighten.]

Waver? Is it really you?

[nonacquiescent]

[There's no doubt Kariiya's condition is worse than ever, but even so, Waver too brightens when he hears Kariya and turns to see him. He certainly wouldn't have survived if he'd ended up in their destroyed world as Waver had, and he worries about Kariya, so any little thing is enough to relieve him.]

Yeah, it is.

[He gets up and brings his oatmeal over to sit with Kariya.]
