[Cloud's in the gym, working out a bit, mainly doing squats and trying not to lose count of them--But by now, he has restarted from one about fifty times...

Something is been bothering him since yesterday and he's not getting over it, which is the weird part of everything. What if he didn't remember some guy? It would probably be easier if Reno hadn't told him he should be remembering him. Of course it was Reno's word against his own, but still bothered him a little. It was probably not his fault that he didn't remember someone that considered him a friend, but as far as he knew, he had found out what his loss was already. What if the castle had made him forget about that guy as well? In that place everything seemed possible but going home after all... Then again it could be Zack's loss, but there was no way to know that for sure, not for now at least.

Conveniently, the journal falls from some pocket he had been keeping it in (even though he didn't quite remembered putting it there...) Hmm, he should probably ask... Sits right there in the middle of the gym and opens the journal.]

[ Filtered away from Zack Fair ]

How many losses are people supposed to have?

[Hmm, why not?]

[ Zack Fair ]

[For a little bit, there is nothing but silence in this filter--what is he even supposed to tell him? He's not even sure it's the same guy he and Reno had been talking about, hopefully adding the surname to the filter would make that clear. Maybe he's jumping into conclusions too soon... That's what happens when you don't have much to do.]

Hey.

[That's a start.]

Dictated!

[not_mafia]

Losses?

[That sounds... frightfully worrying.]

dictated forever!

[shrugs_a_lot]

You don't know about the losses?

into infinity and beyond

[not_mafia]

[Thinking he's talking about..... people who died..........]

N-no, I just got here yesterday. What happened?

[shrugs_a_lot]

Hmm. [Newbie...]

When you get here, the castle takes something from you.

[not_mafia]

Huh? [Definitely not the answer he was expecting.]

Wait, so, nobody died then? [well that is relieving]

[ontheclockpro]

[That's a weird question...]

Why? How many do you have?

[shrugs_a_lot]

Two. But I'm not so sure yet. [Yes, he replied straight away, he's that worried.]

[ontheclockpro]

Huh. That's weird.

You die or anything like that?

[shrugs_a_lot]

No. [Dying here sounds so creepy--dying in general, but here? More.]

[ontheclockpro]

Hm.

Things might've changed, but last I remember unless something happened...people only had one.

[deterrence]

I have one. I think some people have multiple losses, though.

Did you find out what yours is already?

[shrugs_a_lot]

So, it's normal?

Yeah, found out almost as soon as I came here. It wasn't hard to figure out.

[deterrence]

Not unheard of, at least. [if multiple losses were normal, things would be so much more difficult]

What brought this question on?

[shrugs_a_lot]

Hmm... [Great... now he'll think forever he really has two losses...]

Someone I'm supposed to know got here. I don't remember them.

[deterrence]

Sounds like it'd be [awkward?] inconvenient. You're certain this isn't some kind of...unsavoury attention?

Cloud Strife

[bustered]

[A message? To him specifically? Zack hadn't known the journals could do that, but hey, it's kind of cool that they can. He writes underneath it:]

Hey, yourself.

[And just... doesn't quite know what to say after that.]

Zack

[shrugs_a_lot]

[... So it is Fair after all. Okay that means it is the same guy Reno was talking about. Anyway man, why are you writing? You're gonna get tired after a while.]

You... Can speak too you know? I mean if you want to write stuff it's fine too... Just... yeah. [Shiva, why is he being all skittish now?]

Cloud

[bustered]

[He thought that after weird conversation of the day before, the written word would be easier. But talking works fine too, though Zack's voice is a bit absent what would be his "normal" level of excitement.]

This better?

Zack

[shrugs_a_lot]

... Sure--I... was just... letting you know...

Hey I--Hmm... [Ah, he should probably ask first.] Slept well?

Cloud

[bustered]

Yeah, thanks. [Slightly awkward pause.] I appreciate it.

Mmm? Yeah, I did. Thanks. [Cloud you don't really want to talk about how well he slept, did you?]

dictated

[hyuuga]

It depends... If you've died, or are one of those who were sent back here being able to remember, it seems as though you may have more than one. [But as far as she knew, this Cloud was not the one who was with Jono and her in Unova, so...]

Is there a reason why you are asking, Cloud?

dictated

[shrugs_a_lot]

[None of that works for him... So...]

I might have two.

dictated

[hyuuga]

[That would be very odd, and yet another change-up from the 'norm'.]

...What makes you say that?

dictated

[shrugs_a_lot]

I don't remember someone apparently I should.

dictated

[hyuuga]

Ah. Well... Hm. [She is actually a little stumped on that. Somewhat.]

Maybe...maybe you just haven't met them yet?
