9/3 Misfire

[strawberrypunch]

strawberry cupcakes?

[lostapprentice]

[what

no really, what

It's not as if Ren has never gotten a wrong number text before, but with Retrospec's latest nonsense, he's got a bad feeling about this. It feels almost ominous, like the build up to something far more aggravating.

He's probably just being paranoid, but that's not new.]

if that's all you have to worry about right now, you must lead a charmed life.

[Deadpan sarcasm is his main coping mechanism.]

[strawberrypunch]

[Thaaaaaaaat's not the response he was expecting. It takes him a second to check the number.]

Sorry wrong number

[A pause. And then:]

Are you ok?

[lostapprentice]

[ha ha ha ha ha ha]

i'm alive, presumably. that tends to be better than the alternative.

[He thought he was done with existential crises, but nope.

Perhaps it's because it's a complete stranger that he doesn't feel the usual need to keep everything to himself and simply cut off the conversation. Apparently venting on Retrospec gets him yelled at by annoyances he doesn't want in his life.]

9/17, evening, misfire

[cattack]

this is cleo

im sorry

[lostapprentice]

[Another unexpected text, huh. This one at least gives him an indication as to who this might be from, however, and if it is her, he can't help but be a bit concerned. Not that they're close or anything, but she's another person who's gone through some terrible Retrospec nonsense, so he can spare some sympathy.]

what for?

[cattack]

[As messed up as she is, she hasn't realized she misfired, so she thinks this is still tatsuo.]

dont be stupid
i hurt you

[lostapprentice]

[Well this is a conundrum. He should probably tell her she's not speaking with who she thinks, but he knows how he'd feel if he sent a personal text to a stranger...

Maybe he'll just pretend for a little bit until she either realizes it or feels better.]

it's not like you meant to, right? it's fine.

this is definitely a misfire

[chessking]

because apparently in a past life I dated 108 girls and that's an oddly specific number
tl;dr: what the fuck

HAHAH if lelouch thinks that's bad...

[lostapprentice]

[Okay, it's another wrong number from who knows where, but how can he not be curious. What the fuck indeed.]

that is a strangely specific number. i would hope it would have been over the course of a lifetime, but something tells me otherwise.

dare i ask what the context was behind that memory?

11/16

[lastcomfort]

[ It's been a while, but she didn't forget! ]

Hello! Is this Ren? I don't know if you remember me or not...but we met once. Kind of!

[lostapprentice]

[After checking her profile, he has to curse to himself. He sort of hoped she'd forgotten.]

i remember, yes. i wish it had been under better circumstances.

[lastcomfort]

[ No such luck. It's kind of hard to forget a dream like that, anyway. ]

Me too, but I feel like that's happening a lot around here recently.

[ She did remember saying he wasn't...well, very chatty, so... ]

That's why I just wanted to see how you were doing? I hope that's not too presumptuous of me.

[lostapprentice]

[Alas and alack.]

much better than last month, i can say that much. the lack of nightmares and fog things trying to kill me has certainly helped.

[Well, nightmares are still happening, but at a much lower frequency.]

it's fine. you had to listen to my idiocy, so the least i owe you is a conversation, if that's really what you'd like.

1/1 eCard

[lastcomfort]

I know that we haven't spoken much, but I think we know some important things about each other. Retrospec and what we see with it can be a little intimidating, which is why I think it's important that we have people around us to help. If you ever need anything, I would be very happy to be someone you can talk to.

I hope that 2018 is a good year for you and brings new happy memories!

Happy New Years! ೭੧(❛▿❛✿)੭೨

3/5 probably sometime at night

[matchbreaker]

Hey, if he was from space, does that mean there were aliens there?

[lostapprentice]

there were. most of the people i've seen so far were human, but there were aliens. though i guess even if they looked human, they could have been aliens as well.

why?

[matchbreaker]

Honestly, it's a curiosity but ... Well, more to the point I was thinking:

Can those different species reproduce together?

[lostapprentice]

that's a good question. the aliens i saw were humanoid, so i'd think it would be possible?

[Sadly, uh, reproduction wasn't exactly on his past self's list of priorities.]

i don't know for sure, though.

3/14

[lastcomfort]

Ren!

Happy Pi Day!

[lostapprentice]

is that actually a thing?

[He means hello.]

[lastcomfort]

Yes! It's March 14th. 3/14. So it's 3.14!

5/14 at like 2 in the morning

[matchbreaker]

I sometimes wonder if I'm being too kind to her. Past-me, that is? I mean she did try to kill someone.

More than someone? At least two of three. Also bullied people and was too rough with her grandchildren.

But I can't help but feel for her. I guess because she is me?

Anyway I'm sure you still feel distant from it all, right?

[lostapprentice]

[Eh, it's not like he was going to be sleeping much when outside is still pretty much too blank to count as night.]

she was a vampire. wasn't she? doesn't most of that come with the territory?

i don't feel nearly as distant as i want to.

either way, how we feel about them won't affect her or him anymore. only us. what feels right to you?

[matchbreaker]

Hahah

that's true, isn't it? I get so hung up one this or that specific event, I don't even think about all the people whose blood got taken as much as I should. I'm not not sure if they're dead or not

I kind of think not...? Or her granddaughter would hate her more

Karin, I mean
