[ The video opens to a cat-eared lady sitting under a tree! (Her duck has her device balanced on his head) ]

Probably an odd enough question, but are there others who have jumped multiple worlds before ending up here?

[ And she begins to explain, hands moving animatedly. ]

Thing is, I've ended up in two absolutely different worlds before this one, and gone home- but my memories are so fuzzy about who I met there that 'tis hard to recall some things. Sometimes they clear up when I meet some of the people, but... I know I'm missing some memories...

[ She sighs and sinks back against the tree then. ]

Name's Megumi, by the by. Matriarch of the Utakata family- and don't call me a cat-girl. My kind are called miqo'te, and I'm of the Keepers of the Moon clan! And I suppose I'm a Warrior of Light, too, but 'tis normal to have plenty of those in every world I've been to. Hullo, friends...

[ A little wave. ]

Honestly, I'm missing a lot of friends and my children too... wish I could see them and know how they are, but- sometimes they end up here, and sometimes they leave and return -

[ Her ears flick up, as there's a noise above her. Then a crack and she blinks and lifts her head, only to shift back quickly, eyes wide- ]

What th- Alphinaud?!

[ And a very boyish yell sounds from above! The camera staggers, but catches a blur before it focuses on a silver-haired boy falling into her arms from what seems to be the top of the tree, and both end up staring in shock at each other. ]

That was the fastest I've had a wish granted!

[ And the feed ends!! Welcome little Alphinaud, again! Replies will come from both Alphinaud and Megumi! ]

[...well shite. That happened.]

...suppose we are lucky that neither of you collided with each other's skulls? Are you both alright?

[Look, she can't help but think of Themis and that entrance. It feels similar!]

[menphina]

[ It almost was similar! ]


I'd rather not have a repeat of that! One silver-haired lad was enough!

Though he must have hit his head, too, he's a little disoriented!

[inlikethebrume]

As long as he is not bleeding then we can call it safe. Makes me curious as to what exactly was he doing up there.

[Kid, you are not the climber of the siblings.]

[menphina]

We'll have to ask him when he isn't sputtering in embarrassment. Though I wonder if he's forgotten he was here...

[inlikethebrume]

It tends to be that way quite a bit if we look from experience. But there's always that chance that he would; we just need to give it time.

[menphina]

Aye. I'm not sure he knows us us, but- he seems to realize we're who we say we are, so 'tis something! That means we have a friend in him still!


... not that his not knowing us would have stopped us before, either, but it helps, aye?!

[inlikethebrume]

...fair point. It is still Alphinaud after all.

[menphina]

Aye! And we do have to spoil him!

... speaking of spoiling.


[ POINTED LOOK. ]

[inlikethebrume]

... what's that look for?

[leveilleur]

I'm quite well, thank you.

[The boy answers after he's certain nothing is broken. It's then that he peers into the screen.]

Ah, greetings! If may so ask, have we...met before?

[She seems oddly familiar to him. While the Warrior of Light he knows differs greatly, he vaguely recalls a time when the Warrior of Light dawned glasses. It was a rather interesting fashion choice, that until he realized the man was nearsighted.]

[inlikethebrume]

[Well that answers that particular question.]

This place has a tendency for familiarity. It tends to happen to those coming from Eitherys from what I've noticed. But to answer your question: we have but explaining it might be complicated.
