[ On the one hand, he's not sure how to feel about this. Involving his friends in whatever this power is, it feels like -- a risk, something he might do to them that he couldn't take back.
But on the other, the longer he refuses to face this new reality, the worse it'll get. Besides, he trusts Noah to keep his cool, more or less.
So, half an hour later (or so) will find Yu chilling near the woods, messing around on his phone as he waits for Noah. He seems calm, at least... ]
[Noah isn't really thinking about the risk, he never does. He's just more worried about his friend. Whatever was going on with Retrospec, it only seemed to be getting worse this month. First his arm, now this...
He gets there a bit later, because he had to take the buses. But soon enough, he's walking up to the forest entrance where Yu is. Despite the near summer warmth, he's wearing long sleeves and gloves]
[ Though Yu won't comment on Noah's long sleeves and gloves, he will blow a quiet sigh out through his nose. He understands his friend's reasons, though worries for him as the weather gets warmer. They'll have to find light linens he can wear, anything that would help vent heat so he doesn't risk overheating in the summer months...
He'll give his head a shake to clear his thoughts and beckon. ]
Thanks for coming.
[ They'll need to head deeper into the woods for this. Yu doesn't want to risk being spotted - or alarming anyone. ]
Random? Maybe. This power seems to match something that happened in one of my hallucinomemories, though not perfectly. I have a memory of a figure, and being able to use some ability... so in a way, this isn't that surprising.
Actually, that's a good point. I share my memories with some of my friends, but not all of them. Some of us remember different things, with seemingly no pattern. What does that mean?
[ Yu doesn't find that strange. A magical golem? Close enough, why not.
Anyway, that answer wins a shake of his head. ]
Why is that? Why is it that after I moved to the city, I met people who would turn out to be in my memories, but you haven't? Does it mean anything at all?
{ Tilts his head back, looking up at the trees as they walk. They'll hit the clearing he's been leading them to soon... ]

Hey.

no subject
Noah gives a nod]
'Course. This doesn't seem like something someone should handle alone.
[Especially when Yu has been so kind to him.] So into the woods we go, I guess?
no subject
[ He'll glance at Noah as they walk, thoughtful. ]
How is your arm?
no subject
Still fucking weird. [Helpful] I'm in physical therapy and that's helping it move more, but...no one's still got any clue what the fuck it is.
no subject
It's good to hear physical therapy is doing something for it. I imagine the only way you'll find out what's going on is through hallucinomemories.
[ A slight, resigned shrug. ] That seems likeliest, anyway.
no subject
[He gives a sigh and shakes his head.]
I don't get it though. I get an arm, you get something in your soul, and then there's the shit happening to Ryoji...
Other than weird shit's happening to us and its probably Retrospec's doing, it just seems so...fucking random, you know?
no subject

[ A pause, and then, somewhat blasé: ] Then again, how can it be anything but surprising to suddenly develop superpowers...?
no subject
I mean, do you remember anything about zombies? Or vampires? Or people with monkey tails?
no subject
... kinda ....
... stares at him. ]
... monkey tails?
no subject
That's what my cousin saw in one.
Could've been a furry, but she insisted she saw it move around.
no subject
[ somewhat faintly. man, this is getting pretty wild. ]
no subject
Tatsuma saw zombies attacking people, and I had one where they were talking about going after a vampire in his castle.
no subject
[ A heavy sigh. ]
Actually, that's a good point. I share my memories with some of my friends, but not all of them. Some of us remember different things, with seemingly no pattern. What does that mean?
no subject
[Creepy castle, frightened villagers, etc ec]
Really? Then it's gotta mean something's off, right?
no subject
[ Glances at Noah, curious. ]
Have any of your visions involved other people in the city?
no subject
[Timcanpy isn't a person Noah. He shakes his head]
No, I don't recognise anyone I see.
no subject
