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.

[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?]

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

Did you play here before?

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

No. As far as I can remember, this is my first time. [which is why he's confused.]

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

I heard it's kind of hard to play.

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

It's not hard right now, but I think that's because I'm alone.

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

I bet if you played against me, it'd be easy.

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

Why? [he doesn't think not being able to see the peices would be a problem.]

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

I can't see the board...and I don't know how to play, anyway.

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

[he taps the pencil against the journal.]

But someone could help, right? Show you how everything works and where it is.

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

I guess so.

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

Then it should be okay if you wanted to play.

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

Maybe I'll ask someone to help me learn.

(frozen comment)

[twisted_baroque]

And then we could maybe play a game. It's fun right now, but I think it could be better with two people.

(frozen comment)

[siebter]

Okay! It sounds like it'd be fun.

[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?]
