[Video] 001 ☽

[At first, when your SFC clicks on, all that can be seen is blue--the blue of the ocean above the barrier. The video seems to be...rocking back and forth, slowly, and the gentle slap slap slap of what might be...small waves...? against something can be heard.

A long pause.

Then the video shifts and changes before settling on a young man who seems to be...lying down, holding the SFC up, peering at it.

A red light...?]

...It's recording...?

[A puzzled (and slightly soggy) blink, and he begins to sit up.]

Why am I on a boat--

[Too late. His sitting up tilts the small boat off balance.

Tilting--

Splash!

...oops.

ooc: feel free to respond with either video or action, guys!]

I don't remember you going to our school either, your name or face doesn't ring a bell.

[Who was this guy?]

Can I ask you something?

[...so he really doesn't remember him at all.]

What is it?

[It didn't hurt to ask, besides, if he didn't know what he was talking about, that would be the end of it.]

Do you know about the Dark Hour?

[...]

Yes, I do. As well as the personae we use to fight the shadows that can be found during that time.

"We"?

So you're ...

[He ran his fingers through his short hair.]

Do you know everything that I do?

...We were fighting together in SEES, senpai.

[Why don't you remember...? He is rather confused himself.

Also, that is a yes. Yes, he does know everything.]

I remember fighting with Haruka. I remember everything with her. I don't even know you and you know what --

[Frustrated and confused.]

Dammit! Why can't I remember you?

[It is...rather saddening. All of those times with senpai--all of those memories, gone?

But no. He still remembers. And this Haruka--

But he is rather calm (even as he drips water everywhere)]

I don't know. But there must be a reason.

[A slight pause, and then--]

If this isn't on Earth...Someone mentioned different worlds to me. Is this a different world?

[He sighs.]

yeah, it's Vatheon. We can't leave.

[...Another Arisato, and Akihiko, who doesn't remember ever even seeing him--

It really is a clear conclusion, with the knowledge that there are other worlds about.]

If there are other worlds, isn't it possible that...there are differing timelines as well?

Yeah, there are. I've talked to a few people who are from ... well, I don't really remember. He was a vampire.

[This is...kind of not very easy to talk about, all things considered, but well. It is a sound theory.]

Then perhaps I don't exist in your timeline, and...Haruka Arisato does in my place.

[Different worlds. Which makes this a...different Akihiko? ...Strange.]

But how is that possible? We're both dealing with the same problem, in the same place and --

[Trying to get this around his head. Finally, it clicks.]

... I know that there are a lot of things that can happen, especially since I've been here, but not this.

It sounds as though there are a number of mysteries about this place. Perhaps this is just another of them.

[.../drip. Drip. Drip.

Hrmm. He supposes his mp3 player is broken now. That's a shame.]

What was the date for you back home, senpai?

Yeah.

[Oh, times. Right.]

I came from 2009.

[...Not quite what he was looking for, but it works. He won't press too hard.]

The same year for the both of us, then.

[That also means that Akihiko isn't from after his (or Haruka's?) choice. Interesting.]

...Is Haruka Arisato here as well?

She is.

[This is so hard for him to even deal with. He can't stand not knowing who this person was.]

[It is hard on this side of the screen as well, particularly since he is still trying to figure out how, exactly, he ended up in another world, of all things. And a familiar face--not so familiar, it would seem.

Still, it is reassuring to have Akihiko there...even if he doesn't remember.]

I hope that I will get the chance to meet her soon, then.

[...When he isn't soaked. :c]

We can talk later, how about I meet you at the plaza? I can show you where to get dry clothes.

[Still acting as senpai, even if he isn't his senpai. It's only all the more reassuring, because even if Minato is the group's elected 'leader'...he is still wet and confused and in an unknown world.

A nod.]

Thank you, senpai. I would appreciate that.

Where are you?

[At least he could help him out.]

[A pause. He tilts his head, looking around.]

I'm by a lake right now. If the plaza you were talking about is towards the center of the city, I think I can find it, however, if you would rather meet there.

Sounds good, I trust you. I'll be there in a few.

[If what he believed to be true was indeed true, that he remembered Haruka in place of him, that maybe lead to the idea that Minato could summon different personae just like Haruka, then he could trust Minato's judgement.]

[He does manage to find the plaza, and not with much difficulty. The entire city does seem to be built around it, after all.

When Akihiko gets there, Minato will be standing by the coral, inspecting it with an air of absentness, hands in his pockets and slouching.

Blink. Blink.

Oh hey. He straightens slightly, turning.]

Akihiko-senpai.

[Akihiko smiles, walking up to him.]

I take it the plaza wasn't too hard to find?

[He nods in the direction of a few shops.]

Come on.

[And he's going to begin walking in the direction of those lovely shops, hoping for Minato to follow him.]
