4 Monster Friends [Action/Voice]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ When Arietta first comes back to the village, she doesn't think much of it. Sure, there are a few new faces around, but she was kidnapped right before another New Feather cycle.

But as she makes her way back to House 47, things seem a bit strange. Dated, even. And they only get stranger when she finds out just who else is in House 47.

Finally she decides enough is enough, and goes for the journals.

Anyone who's met Arietta might notice that at the moment, she seems a bit... well. Older. ]



Hello. Um, I was wondering. Is Yushen listening to this? Or Wiz? [ Who else has been in Luceti for a long time...? ] Cloche?

If any of you hear this, I want to talk to you...

[ Where have all her Luceti friends gone 8'( ]


(( Arietta has been aged-up nine years in an alternate Luceti as detailed here! ))

I don't understand. Are you from... the future? No, but then you should still remember me...

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

I'm not from the future. I told you, I've been here a long time.

[ Which is mostly her not realizing what Aang means by the future. Since by now she's gotten it in her head that Aang must have met her on Auldrant after when she's from, which would mean he's the one from the future. ]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

This just doesn't make sense, then.

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

I know. Luceti usually doesn't... Sometimes I just don't try to figure things out anymore.

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

I guess I think like that too, sometimes. [He says with a meek chuckle.] Maybe we should just... accept this for what it is, then.

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

But what is it? I'm really not sure yet...

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

I don't know. That we're both here... that you don't know me, but I know you. Just... a younger you. I don't know how to explain it.

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

Did you really know me? Or... [ No, wait. She doesn't actually have any idea where she's going with that. ] Um, nevermind. Sorry.

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Y-yes? [He raises an eyebrow, confused.] I really did. I just met you a few months ago.

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

I was just thinking... what if it was someone who's like me, but still not me...

[ Like replicas, but that's still a thing she doesn't entirely understand. So trying to explain what she means when she doesn't even know what she means sooort of falls flat. ]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Like... another you? A little you? [It makes sense given his experience. Considering he knows both an adult and a kid Loki running around.]

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

I... suppose so. Someone who's me, but doesn't remember what I do...

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

You think that your... memories are different?

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Not mine! But the other me. The one you met... Maybe she's me, but she's not exactly like me...

[ HOW DOES I EXPLAIN CONCEPT I DOES NOT UNDERSTAND MYSELF ]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Well... She liked to be friends with all kinds of animals including ones she called monsters. Is that like you?

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

Yes! But that's not what I meant. Something else... I don't think I really know how to explain it. I'm sorry.

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

That's okay! If I see the other you again, I'll just ask her! We'll figure this out somehow.

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

But... would she still be here if I'm here?

[ Best Arietta knows, Replicas are mutually exclusive with their originals whoops. ]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Well... I thought that was possible here. There's already different people here who seem to be... like the same. I'm even living with the person I'm going to reincarnate into.

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

... How?

[ /distraction is go? ]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

I'm not sure how. Lots of things happen here that should be impossible. But I guess for me and Korra, it helps that even though we share the same soul, we're a lot different otherwise.

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

But how do you get reincarnated?

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Well... It's part of the Avatar cycle in my world. Because the Avatar spirit is a special spirit that's been around... like, forever. Whenever one Avatar... passes on, the spirit gets reborn in another nation. So one day... It'll happen to me, too. All part of the Avatar cycle.

[Action]

[wildoldergirl]

Do you think that would happen to the Fon Master?!

[ Arietta, no, stop. ]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Y-you mean Ion? [He says, nervously. He doesn't quite know about his friend's fate at least I think he hasn't.]

It's hard to say for sure. This kind of thing works differently for different worlds, after all. But... I like to believe that all life gets to carry on in some way. That death isn't really... truly the end.

[That awkward moment when the one person to have already suggested that Auldrant reincarnation could be possible for Ion in particular was Jade.]
