......

[OF COURSE. Her life was one big exercise in torment, so it would only make sense that Jin would be there to witness her excruciating attempt at breakfast.]

And I suppose you had no trouble with this... Substance?

[wasjustascratch]

I haven't eaten it yet. Once the tower has something palatable to eat, I might consider it.

[Jin laughs a little more openly now. He really can't help himself. This is probably one of few times they'll run into each other before the more sane people from their universes decide to give them an intervention.]

You're acting like it's personally insulting you. It can't be that bad.

[pellegri]

And how long have you gone without food here?

[Because she was considering a new diet, if this was any indication of how she would have to eat from now on.

AND IT IS. It's a terrible insult and an assault on all of her senses.]

[wasjustascratch]

Almost a month now. I wouldn't recommend trying to imitate me though.

[To tell her about the restaurant or not?

... Yeah, he'll tell her. He's not that cruel.]

Once you finish the oatmeal, there's a restaurant that serves something other than those meal bars. It will just cost you to eat there and the price is never the same for each person.

[pellegri]

Stop.

[She noted the part about the restaurant, but there was something far more important to address.]

I know you often consider yourself invincible, but surely even you have to eat?

[wasjustascratch]

I know I'm not invincible. I got a sharp reminder of that on Miltia. I don't have to eat though. I can if I want to but I haven't seen any reason to tolerate the oatmeal yet.

[pellegri]

[She stared at him dryly.]

Please feel free to elaborate.

[Because she might start to assume that he had some type of head injury and ducked out of treatment early.]

[wasjustascratch]

I think I'd prefer not to explain so soon. You'll find out eventually though, everyone else knows.

[pellegri]

....Fine.

[She tried to seem nonchalant, but her aggravation may have shone through just a little. She wasn't particularly surprised that he wasn't going to tell her, it only seemed to confirm what she had always thought about him.

He would only include her when it was convenient for him.]

[wasjustascratch]

[dsajgkhsdgjahds PELLEGRI NO. Don't be like that! DX]

I'm sorry. It's just not something that's... easy to explain. And I don't want it to be your first impression of me after so long.

[pellegri]

[Don't be... like herself? 8D]

I've heard your apologies before.

[And she stopped herself from continuing on to mention that they are just as unbelievable as ever.]

So long? Were you trying to be serious when you said you'd been here that long? Even if I were inclined to believe that you've been here, starving yourself for weeks, we were both on The Elsa only yesterday.

[wasjustascratch]

[SOB.]

I've been here for over a month. And the last time I was on the Elsa was to leave medicine for Shion, you weren't anywhere near there. Otherwise, I haven't seen any of you for fifteen years.

[pellegri]

That is ridiculous. Are you trying to say that I do not know who I was traveling with?

[wasjustascratch]

No, I'm telling you that I'm not the Jin you know.

What do you know about Eternal Recurrence?

[pellegri]

Only that it is an antiquated theory concerning existence.

[wasjustascratch]

It's not. I'm from a different recurrence than your own. One where Colonel Margulis and yourself are with U-Tic and yet I've met him here where he rejected it and I'm the one that remained with U-Tic with you.

[pellegri]

....Assuming I accept this story... What is it that you did in your own "recurrence", then?

[wasjustascratch]

[There's a pause and then he sighs.]

I died.

[pellegri]

Honestly... Jin...

[She stared at him flatly. WHO makes a joke like that?]

You are here right now.

[wasjustascratch]

[Certainly not the dead guy. And to prove it, his regular clothes disappear to reveal the usual gaudy getup for Testaments.]

Colonel Margulis killed me on Miltia.

[pellegri]

[Her eyes widened at that. Really, she didn't know what to make of what she was seeing. As far as she knew, Jin couldn't normally change his appearance at will.]

What..? How? How are you here now if you were killed? And... What is that ability?
