[ Anyone Who Has Left and Returned with Memories ]

[He thinks on this filter for a long time. (Whether he should keep himself anonymous or not, whether it's even worthwhile in the grand scheme of things.) But eventually, he writes:]

I have questions, if you're willing to answer.

[ Anyone Who Has Experienced a 'Trip Home', excluding John Watson ]

I'd like to compare notes, as it were. Provided you're amenable.

[Some time later, he'll dictate to the castle at large. There's not much energy in him today; he sounds worn out.]

Give me recipes, residents. Your favorites from your home world, I don't care.

Unless you're from Earth, in which case, don't bother.

Comments

[workaphilic]

Don't suppose you have another explanation for it.

[waterproofed]

Yeah, I know why I was missing that long. I think sometimes the castle just likes messing with people, you know? It's the same reason why it sometimes pretends to be a place from our world.

[workaphilic]

Maybe.

But why you? Just the castle playing a round of eeny, meeny, miny, moe?

[waterproofed]

I tend to chalk that kind of stuff up to my terrible luck.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm also the only person who got Paradisa memories without going through that fake memory phase.

[workaphilic]

Oh, excellent. Was hoping you'd respond, honestly.

[He's read about it.]

[waterproofed]

Really? Well, I'll send you the bottle and note I got if you want to examine them. [he keeps them just for this kind of situation]

[workaphilic]

[His tone noticeably lifts.]

Room 1802, thank you.

[waterproofed]

Just send it back to me when you're done.

[and a ghost will be delivering the bottle and note. The bottle is made of glass, and the note reads "Drink this in memory of us". The script is easy to read, which was a nice touch for this poor dyslexic kid]

[workaphilic]

Could be a while.

[He already sounds distracted.]

[waterproofed]

Okay. Uh, have fun?

[workaphilic]

Hope so.

[He doesn't have high hopes, though.]
