Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[It has been a long time since Soushi had been given the pleasure to step foot in a world whose memories he should have all forgotten upon leaving and returning to his own world. Truth be told, he was having a difficult time separating his current memories with those that should technically be considered to be both past and future memories. There was so much confusion over the matter of mix feelings he was having. Doubt, fear, and nostalgia were all current and accounted for. Anger and jealousy were slowly taking root; however it all will disappear upon noticing the festivities and smiling faces surrounding him. A piece of him knew all of this wouldn't have been possible without the participation of those he once considered almost as his friends. No, not almost. They were his friends.

His gold and aquamarine eyes will begin to observe the surrounding area, accepting everything he could see and feel at the moment without hesitation. After all, his mother once spoke to him about a man she once cared deeply for in one of her future incarnations. Now with the knowledge he was currently regaining, he was beginning to realize that she has never once forgotten him -- or more specifically, the man he once was.]

Option 1: Warm and fuzzy feelings with hugs.

[He has explored the city he once was a resident in. Very few memories had return to him as many of the past locations were no longer available. Much has changed in the city known as Asgard. A change which he would have once found unacceptable was now considered a wonderful for the current version of himself. A version which was now seem more positive and less formal with almost no need of the mask that he once wore. Even his current attire of a more semi-formal presence offered an additional hint to his new self.

A bright spark of excitement will be found in his eyes as he motions towards the lanterns that were currently surrounding him. There were lanterns of all shapes, colors, and designs. Each held its own unique name which many he did not recognize in the least bit until one in particular came to his line of vision.]

...is this...for me?

[The name was easily noticeable on the small item as it began to float by his side, almost tempting him to touch. And touch he will do. Needless to say, he felt an instant reaction to the item in the way of a gentle warmth surrounding his body while a blinding light will force him to shut his eyes for a moment until he felt an item in his hands -- it was a small stuff toy in the form of his mother.

A smile will quickly appear on his lips as he couldn't help find the gift to be very adorable.]

I wonder if anyone remember her. [Pause.] Or him... [And with a gentle, almost remorseful tone.] My father.

[Without a second thought, he will hold his new found gift in his arms.]

Option 2: Don't cross a nun.

[Although there were many lanterns with names he did not recognize, it will not be long until he will notice names of certain individuals that he recognizes from his other life. Most names would flood him with pleasant memories while a few others with mix feelings which he is uncertain over if he wishes to reunite with them or not.

Regardless, no matter the type of relationship he once had with them, it will not stop him from reaching out to their particular lantern; however it will not be long until he realizes his mistake in having done so.

One. He was unable to release his grip on the item in question. And two, there was a nun following him around with a loud bell in her hands as she pointed towards him as someone that was to feel ashamed of himself for being a thief. Soushi had apologize to her many times regarding the matter, but every time he did she would simply ignore him and continue to call him as "shameless" and "thief" every so often.

With the way she is persistently following him, he was beginning to feel ashamed of his actions as he had no idea he wasn't allowed to touch another person's lantern. Now he was forced to ask for help, but he was uncertain over who to ask. Perhaps he should search for the true owner of the item or a deity that happens to be close by. Whoever he encounters first, he will lightly tap his shoulder before offering a light nod of his head in both apology and greeting.]

Good day. I greatly apologize to interrupt you on a day as wonderful as this one. [Which he genuinely means as he has doesn't know if whoever he was speaking to will feel any type of positive feeling in seeing him again.] But, it would seem I am in need of assistance. [Showing the lantern that was currently stuck in his hand, he'll decide to ask.] Is this your lantern by any chance?

Option 3: City Tour

[The effects of the past few curses have finally left his system. He no longer felt the need to be overly affectionate towards other individuals nor did he feel the need to apologize for every single little issue that would have appeared within his mind. It felt liberating to no longer feel those emotions that seemed to have been carrying him down due to his mix feelings between his present and future and past self. He has always known that reincarnation was a complex issue, but never to the degree he had felt it.

Either way, he has decided to roam the city, hoping to find any changes or acquaintances from his other life. If he notices someone he recognizes, he'll offer them a smile.]

Would you like to accompany me on a city tour?

Soushi?!?

[Well, hello there, Soushi. Have someone you haven't seen in quite a while standing there in a para-military uniform of grays with a pair of tonfa at her sides. She was blinking at him in sudden shock, barely paying attention to the lantern before she smiled and tried to shoo away the nun.]

That is you, isn't it Soushi? It's ... it's good to see you. Gods, it's good to see you. What were you asking about?

[The other woman's reaction to him will catch his attention for a split moment until he was reminded of the name of his lantern stuck in his hand was the same of the woman before him as well. Samantha Grey. That was her name. She was once a trusted ally of his back in the old days within the city.

But, in his genuine opinion, Sam was more of a friend than a simple ally. He was beginning to understand the behavioral pattern of his other self.]

Grey-san, it's been a long time, hasn't it? How are you?

[A brighter smile will be on his lips as he spoke those words, accepting his memories within the city as though they were his own while keeping some distance between them. He inherited his mother's more timid nature even if he was still as shameless as his father.]

I was hoping to learn of the proper way to be free of this particular item. [His smile will weakened as he offers a more remorse expression.] I do apologize for touching this item without your consent. I was unaware of the rule against it. Thank you very much for convincing the...unique religious figure away from me. I greatly appreciate it...

It has... you missed the end of the war. We lost track of you when you disappeared, so I'd almost lost track. [She coughed, reaching up to clear her throat and smile. There was a little color there. Friends was definitely a fair word, and at least once, she seemed to recall the two had had a few ... benefits, mostly to help her control herself.

She smiled back, distantly, grateful to see him smiling. Soushi wasn't a man who smiled often, so that was a good sign. Maybe the woman he loved would show, bittersweet as it might be.]

Oh... well, it's got my name on it, so I guess maybe give it to me? I wouldn't worry too much about it, honestly. [She reached out, holding out her hand for the lantern, a bit curious what games Loki was up to this time.] And trust me, nuns are a lot to handle on good days.

You...

[The person he's talking to is a tall-ish young woman with pale blue hair and reddish eyes, who is slightly pale at the sight of him. The more she goes around the town, the more she remembers of their time there, and even when the city itself has changed so much she still can recall more than one place, or person, or living being that she saw here. And one of them is now right in front of her: a pale-haired man who was always read to give her a helping hand no matter what, and whom she owes so much ever since they met.]

Sir Sou -- [ She then quickly corrects 'self, sighing a little.] ... Soushi. I'm happy to see you here, and I'll gladly accompany you as well.
