[ there's something vaguely bemused about satariel's expression as they find rex, although it's not unkind or unfriendly, their daemon perched raven-formed on the top of their hooded head. ]

You know, I can't really say that I've met someone that looks like that? Generally, people where I come from don't really have four arms.

[third_alternative]

Same where I'm from, that's why I figured I'd lead with the arms and not, y'know. The weird schoolgirl uniform thing.

Hmmm...if you haven't seen her...then what about any red swirling portal things? End up walking or falling through any of those before you ended up here?

[ wherever rex is, there's a flutter of wings as one of the watchers lands beside him. ]

Hey! You want to know where we were before this started? Do you mean before you guys got here, or before before?

[third_alternative]

Uhhh...before before? Wherever you were before you got here.

[ they're coming to find rex just outside the opera house. a noodle has hitched a ride on their shoulder. rude! ]

You think this isn't real?

[third_alternative]

I'm not saying it's not real--probably--just that...I wanna make sure if I'm still in my world or some weird alternate one.

[grigori]

[ hey rex, where can you be found because wherever that is, rameel will popup and appear right behind him humming to himself. ]

Now isn't that a question to be answered. Where did they come from?

[third_alternative]

[ oh boy, it's gonna be one of THESE types of conversations, huh. ]

I'm asking you. Do you actually know, or are you just gonna pretend like you do?

[ rex can find shamsiel sitting on the ground of the tower with their legs tucked against them ]

It'd be wrong to say that I'm feeling better about any of this.

[third_alternative]

[ oh god, they just look so pathetic sitting there like that. ]

Oooookay, moping time's over! You're not gonna feel any better just sitting there. How's a game of fetch with Amparo sound? [ he gestures down to his daemon, in dog form at the moment. She barks up at Rex. ]

What are you--of course you're a dog, have you seen yourself? And dogs play fetch!

week 2; monday

[grigori]

[ time to hang out in the game room with baraqiel, rex. ]

You can make deals with all of the Watchers - once a week each, if it's power-related or an empowered item - but you're going to have to explain to me what nanites are.

[third_alternative]

Huh. So I can have multiple deals going with different Watchers at once? [ iiiinteresting.

but more importantly, ]

Okay, nanites. They're tiny machines, and I'm chock full of 'em. Normally, I'm able to control them--build all kinda of machines out of my body with them, communicate with other tech, stuff like that. Since I got here, though, they've been offline--totally useless.

week 2; monday

[grigori]

[ where is rameel? no idea. but they're here and clearly amused. ]

You wanna start a commotion, too?

[third_alternative]

[ technically, a revolution, but commotion works too ]

I already told Baraqiel and Yomiel I'd help them raise a stink with your guys' boss, but I'm starting to think they're too scared to try anything. You, though? You're kooky enough you just might actually do it.

week 2; monday

[grigori]

[ shamsiel will be found in the garden sitting on one of the benches. ]

The "crier"... I think that might be difficult to explain.

[third_alternative]

[ sits down too ]

So? I've got time.

[ Rex is not normally a patient person, but this feels important, so. he'll be mature about it, he SUPPOSES. ]

week 2; thursday

[grigori]

[ baraqiel will answer, but seems a little tense. their daemon is missing at the moment, but at this point, it's probably still uncanny but fairly normal. ]

What're you asking.

[third_alternative]

I just--

[ He looks Baraqiel up and down, hoping to check if he stepped on one of the many shards littering the area, but gets distracted by-- ]

Wait. Where's your...soul animal thing?

week 3; monday

[grigori]

[ they'll come to meet him out at the markets! and they sure are using a crutch to get around still. ]

Were you worried about me, Mister Salazar?

[third_alternative]

[ Glances over at the crutch. ]

I mean...yeah?

Also, you can just call me Rex, you know.

week 3; tuesday

[grigori]

Not my breakfast duty!

[ they don't actually seem that bothered by it, though, and are instead more inquisitive as they come to join him at the usual time. ]

I've had a little, but not much yet. Have you?

[third_alternative]

Oh man, you think I'm not gonna fill up at the first place that has decent food? No way. I've been trying everything.

week 4; wednesday

[grigori]

[ they can be somewhere more isolated and away from the rest of the gy. ] She told you that, did she? But, yes, that's correct.

[third_alternative]

...is there something wrong with her telling me that?

week 5; saturday

[grigori]

[ herro rex. your not babysitter is here to help with that memloss... ] Great! I'm interested to hear what you have to report back.

[third_alternative]

Oh, so I just...tell you? Okay.

Uhh...Tsurumaru's actually a sword spirit? Which is like...a ghost that a sword developed after like 100 years with his master's magic? Honestly I still don't really get it, other than that he's a sword I guess.

And Sheba has this big cool-looking staff that came with her from home. She said it uses like wind magic and also it has a chance of cursing someone to death, which is...nuts.

week 6; tuesday

[grigori]

[ i'm crying i'm sorry lisa.... ] Hm? What else did you want to earn back?

[third_alternative]

Three things. [ holds up his fingers as he counts off. ]

One, my ability to control tech when I touch it. Two, one of my other builds--these giant twin axes I can build out of my arms. And three...another chunk of my memories.

I know I probably can't get all of them back, not so quickly, but...I just wanna know what each of them would take. See how much I can get back before we have to set off this bomb.
