001. Now Everything Is New
[ Well that's new.
He'd been in the movie theater, watching aimlessly with no real need to other than a pull to do so, and suddenly he's aware. Aware that his memories are gone, aware of the whole being dead thing... all of it. It's disorienting of course, but he manages to collect himself, as the movie screen quickly flashes someone playing a lyre. That's... odd but he doesn't think on it at all, there's bigger fish to fry.
He makes it outside and stretches his arms, before also giving his wings a stretch to make sure they actually still move. ]
Well, that's good at least.
[ Providing that didn't knock anyone over or anything he's going to start investigating around Limbo, trying to figure out what this place is and what's going on. He doesn't start talking to most people right away (unless approached of course), instead preferring to observe first.
...His eyes keep wandering though. There's so many things here that he's pretty sure he's never seen before, and it's so interesting... It's not unlikely to find him staring intently at some of the things in places like the conbini, wondering what it does or how it might taste.... ]

You-- you could, but you don't have to. [ at this point, she's pretty much given up on trying to talk people out of it but that doesn't mean she's going to stop warning them. ] It could be dangerous and I don't want anyone to feel like they're being forced to do it.
no subject
Oh? But is it not advantageous for you to have as much assistance as possible?
no subject
[ she sounds more assured of that than she has anything else in this entire conversation. ]
no subject
You are a kind girl.
And because of that kindness, I think I would like to take on this executor duty, actually.
no subject
I'll only ask once.
[ mostly because, for reasons she's still yet to fathom, everyone else has jumped at the chance. ]
no subject
As your elder it’s the least I can do.
[ Shut the fuck up old man. ]

[ With the air of someone who's getting very used to doing this, Rei pulls back her sleeve a little to uncover the mark on her wrist. Then she extends her hand to the older man and just for a blink, the world around them seems to grind to a halt.
And then with a flash of golden light, everything snaps back to normal – as normal as Purgatory gets, anyway.
Contract established. ]
time for the heartbreaking memoria
He had closed his eyes when the light flashed, but when he reopens them... for a moment the girl in front of him is gone.
In her place though is someone who sort of looks like her, but the long white hair is now short, the blue eyes are red, and the skin even more pale. At the sight of this person his heart begins to ache, filled with love and pride, as well as an immeasurable sadness and sense of guilt.
It's the face of his child. He knows this in an instant even though he didn't even remember them just moments before.
And then, with a blink, the face of said child is gone, fading away and back into Rei. A hallucination then? Was that it? But the pain he now feels remains...
He doesn't say anything but he hunches over a little, clutching his heart. From just that and the look on his face it's clear something is up. ]
Hate this, thanks!
Um... Excuse me? [ she reaches out to carefully touch his shoulder. ] Are you alright?
no subject
[ He straightens back up and runs a hand through his hair with a fine. ]
It appears as if that little ritual you did triggered a memory of sorts... or something like that at least. That's all.
no subject
... well. That seems to be how this works, at least. So you're not alone in starting to remember things.
[ She's... helping? ]
