【Video】                                                        

[Duck seemed to be confused when she turned on her journal]

Uhm... Is it just me or.... Is there a bigger influx of people than normal? I'm used to seeing people come often but.... is it normal to have a lot of people at once?

I've been here for a few months now and there's still a lot of things I don't know. Still... This place isn't that bad.

[With nothing more to talk about, she promptly turned off her journal.]

【Action】                                                        

[A little later after this video, you can find in the forest. Winter time was definitely something that Duck wasn't used to, but she found it interesting. So she'll be busy playing in the snow.]

Snow man~ Snow man~ This is a lot of fun.

[Feel free to join her in her winter fun.]

But then... When has it ever been realistic I suppose?

[fuckir]

What're you talking about? Things were completely normal just a few hours ago, when we were back at home and you were still a---

[ he then stops, recalling the way she hugged him, said "you're here," and proceeded to answer his questions as if she already gathered so much information in such a short amount of time when this is duck of all people. ]

... Duck, when did you get here? [ he's expecting something along the lines of a few hours or so, just as he has ]

[clumsyduck]

[Oh.... He asked....]

Oh uhm... I think it's been about 3 months... Maybe 4 soon?

[fuckir]

[ beat ]

That's impossible.

[ LIKE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CURRENT SITUATION FITS WITHIN POSSIBILITY ]

[clumsyduck]

This place... It takes people from random times. I no longer had my pendent before I came here.

[And then a long pause before she broke the news to him.]

Mytho seemed to have lost some of his heart shards again, so I've been trying to get them back for him.

[fuckir]

Mytho's here? [ this catches fakir's attention, as up until this moment he's figured it's just been between him and duck finding themselves here. mytho was supposed to be in a story right now. how could you kidnap someone from a story?

unless ]

... This is all beginning to sound like a story, itself. [ a poorly written one with no regard to timelines smh ]

[clumsyduck]

[Nodding to that.]

And so is Rue.

Perhaps it is but... Mytho.... Mytho here never got to return to the story with Rue yet.... We're from a different time than they are...

[fuckir]

[ fakir is silent for a long moment, unsure how to process all of this.

hesitantly, he asks ]

... What's the last thing you remember, then? Before you were sent here.

[clumsyduck]

The last thing I remember?

Mytho and Rue had gone back in the story about a week before.

[fuckir]

I see. [ around the same time he's from, then. ]

... What about Rue? [ she had been the enemy for a long time, and only recently helped in defeating the raven once and for all. oh god how would he deal if she's right back to antagonizing all over again ]

[clumsyduck]

Oh well... I haven't really been able to see Rue much lately...

[And the mun just doesn't remember. But rather than standing around, she knows he's going to have a lot of questions.]

Why don't we go somewhere warm? I don't live too far from here.

[And with that, she leads the way.]

[fuckir]

[ fakir's about to say something when she mentions returning to where she lives, and it provokes a strange feeling in his chest. she's been living here all this time - her and mytho and rue - and he had no idea at all.

so giving an acknowledging grunt, he nods and follows after her. ]

[clumsyduck]

[She continued on as she tried to tell him about this place. The weirdest thing was... she didn't live with either of them. She lived with Sheena and Zelos. Ever since Suki went home, it had been a little lonely there.]

But I am a little confused. How do you not have wings? Everyone here gets wings when they come here.
