24th Death

[twisted_baroque]

[today one can find Dextera in the library but he's not reading this time. he's actually playing chess with himself, thanks to the castle giving him a chess set as a Christmas gift.

...it's strange. playing by himself like this didn't feel "new" like most things did. lonely, sure, but not "new".

eventually he decides to ask a little about this and writes in the journal.]

What does it mean when you feel like you've seen something before but can't remember it? I forget the word.


[ooc: open via journal or in the library. replies might be slow from me for awhile :) and if you're wondering, that chess set is the one that Dextera and Thirteen used as kids. ...not that Dextera can remember.]

Um, I think it's called deja vu.

written forever

[twisted_baroque]

That's what it's called? It's a strange feeling.

she'll talk back forever!

[adorbs]

Uh huh.

Did you feel like you remembered something?

[twisted_baroque]

A little bit. But it's just that this doesn't feel "new" like everything usually does.

[adorbs]

Everything normally feels new?

[twisted_baroque]

A lot of things from here don't exist in my world, so they are new to me. But this doesn't.

[it finally comes to him that he should be a little clearer.]

The castle gave me a chess set. For Christmas, I think. I can't remember playing it before but it feels like I have.

[adorbs]

Lots of people got stuff from home, so maybe you use to have it a long time ago?

[twisted_baroque]

[hun.]

Maybe. It's be nice to know when I had it though.

[adorbs]

I hope you remember!

[siebter]

...did that happen to you?

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

I think so. But I wonder why now.

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

What did you see?

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

The castle gave me a chess set. I can't remember playing this game before but it doesn't feel "new" like everything else does.

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

Maybe you played chess before...and that's why.

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

Maybe, but I still wonder where. It'd be nice to know.

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

Maybe it was in your world.

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

[he pauses before writing.]

It might. [but when?]

[whitecovered]

I believe it is called "déjà vu".

[He's been getting a lot of that lately, and with what happened back home...well, that weird trip to the "snowy" area was more disturbing than he thought.]

[twisted_baroque]

It's strange. [everything should feel "new" to someone who knew nothing, so why didn't this feel the same way?]

[whitecovered]

Mmmm...yes it is. What provoked this reaction from you?

[twisted_baroque]

The castle gave me a chess set. I think it was for Christmas?

[whitecovered]

How strange that it would see fit to give you that. Have you ever played before?

[A game of wits, not brawn. In other words, his kind of game.]

[twisted_baroque]

I don't know. It just doesn't feel "new" like everything else I try does.

[whitecovered]

Perhaps you simply forgot.

[Like he did.]

[twisted_baroque]

I've forgotten a lot of things. ["everything" would be a better word, but he doesn't want this conversation to get depressing for Weiss's sake.]

Do you want to play with me?
