[puzzlingly]

What: Catch up log for all your needs!
Where: Places.
When: Backdated to the start of November to somewhere around the middle.
Warnings: Annoying card games references maybe! Will match format.


around | early November | open

People were gone, Gowther was gone and everything Atem used to remember of this place, gone as well. Not that Atem actually ever noticed that Gowther had never been in this place before the influx of people.

Now, that might an exaggeration, he remembers people, but not all of them, he's not sure who knows him or not anymore. It turns out it was probably not the so called gods messing with his head, but it probably didn't matter now, did it? It's like Kaiba would say, 'Just ignore it and crush it under the weight of your future', literally... He spent so much time trying to get his memories before coming here, it sure doesn't feel like something he wants to do here as well. He knows himself, he knows Kaiba, and others, and they know him. That should be enough.

He cannot help but wonder, who else did he forget? So far he hadn't found many who claimed to know him, maybe he shouldn't worry that much.

But as much as he wants to move on, he finds himself staring at people's faces, wondering if he's met them before or not. Either you may feel someone watching from where you're sitting down at the Speakeasy, and when you turn at the counter, there he is, this scrawny young man you might or not talked to before looking at your face as if it had something on it. Maybe you're just passing by as he's sitting down at the sidewalk or just as he passes by you, stealing glances from under his umbrella—were it a rainy day—or just as you're trying to find a new pair of pants at the stores, there is this pair of amaranthine bright eyes staring curiously, maybe a little worriedly even..

What do?

( ooc: A gentle reminder Atem was given a hard reset during the fourth wall event, which means he's forgotten most of the people he's met in Hadriel. Send me a PM if you wanna plot around that, otherwise please assume a clean start with your character. )

the orchard | open

「After how things went down with the first tree he grew, Atem has been taking things a little more calmly, after all, he doesn't want to pass out again from using too much energy to turn a little seed into a full grown tree, if anything he's trying to make them grow to his knee or so. And that's what he's doing at the moment, flattening the dirt around a recently planted seed, as much as he possibly can. Then he can be seen drawing some circles and markings around it, it's not that easy to make the glyphs as perfect as he wished he could, but he keeps on trying. 」

There must be an easier way...

「He mutters under his breath.」

carlisle's garden | idk the muffin man

「Just as Carlisle had cut the communication, Atem hurried down to the piers, jumped on a goddamned boat and hurried towards the North Island as fast as the winds allowed him to. It was amazing how good he had become at this sailing thing after a while, still, dreaded it—the sea was not his element, it was so wet—but not even this time he cared to get his shoes and pants wet if it meant to get to his mentor as soon as possible.

Finally, he knocks on that familiar door, perhaps a bit more obnoxiously than he should.」

Carlisle! It's me! Open up!

「He sounds really excited at least!」

butterflies also like living in pretty houses | sal

「Atem did promise he'd help beautify whatever little house Sal decided to build for his little new friend. He's been practicing in fact! Trying to build something more spacious and fireproof for his fiery salamander. Meanwhile, he waits for his friend to arrive as he writes some notes in his notebook, anything that comes to his mind that could potentially help with creating new things, or just transmuting them into something else.」

the sewing shop | margie

「Still a little unsure of what the future will bring them, Atem decides to act on it anyway, he could use a new jacket, the one he's got, even if it's from home, has seen better days. He remembers being at the sewing shop before, but everything aside of that comes as a blur to him, he pokes his head into it, expecting some kind of magic to happen and suddenly remembering everything.

He doesn't.」

Hello?

「Is anyone there?」

Comments

[sallyfaced]

[Aside from the intentions Sal had when he made that network post he was also glad to have something to work on. Something to keep his mind off of other things...to keep it busy being creative. If there's anything he learned from Larry and Ash is that he actually really enjoyed little creative endeavors. They opened his eyes to one world just as Todd opened his to physics.

People were good at that. If you just listened to them your perspective could shift in interesting ways.

When Sal arrives to meet up with Atem his demeanor is perfectly chipper.]

Hey, Atem!

[puzzlingly]

「The perfectly chipper demeanor is mirrored with a smile. However now that he's meeting Sal for the first time in person (for him, only) he gets to give a quick glance at him. At the mask, specifically. Atem idly wonders what's up with it but he will not ask. It's peculiar. It is also not the strangest thing he's seen in his life.」

Hey. So, are you familiar with Egypt at all?

「There is a point to his question, he promises.」

[sallyfaced]

[Sal doesn't seem all that caught off guard by the question, honestly. Even if it had no point he'll talk about literally almost anything.]

Just what I learned in school. [He laughs a bit.] I don't have any extensive knowledge if that's what you're asking. But, my grades are pretty great, if that helps?

[He supposes his point is, "not completely unfamiliar with it"...]

[puzzlingly]

「That is actually good enough, it solves the whole wondering if Sal is from an Earth alike his at all. Whether if there are differences or not, that's other thing altogether.」

It does. I'm very familiar with their architecture and the interior decoration, a bit of Japan's too,「Surely he knew about it too, if his Earth had it as well!」 I could try to mimic those styles for your little friend's houses, what do you think?

[sallyfaced]

Holy shit.

[That means he thinks it's a great idea.]

That would be sweet! Uh, I managed to gather some cans, bottles, and boxes...do you think we can work with that?

[puzzlingly]

「That makes him give a small but chuckle.」

Yeah. I... can transmute things so I guess the hard part is figuring out the shape of things, the easiest thing is to give it color. Which one is your favorite?

「He can guess but hey, he could be wrong.」 

[sallyfaced]

That's a pretty awesome talent.

[A lot of people here can do some really cool things. Todd would be freaking out if he were here.]

Oh, that'd be red.

[A little unfortunate given how things have been going for him lately, but so far that still hasn't changed. He still loves his red pants and his red guitar.]

[puzzlingly]

Not really, it's just something I learned along the way.

「Oh, he totally got it wrong. To which he chuckles to himself.」

Heh, alright, let's get to work.
