[SEASON TWO ARCANE SPOILERS INEVITABLE IN THIS POST. if you comment, please mention if you're okay with spoilers or not. responses will come from either Vi or Cait, or both. there may be some threadjacking, but generally they'll respond separately.

I hope we didn't worry anyone with our absence, but Vi and I are back. We went home for a little while. I can't say I ever expected to see this place again, considering I didn't remember it, until I was here again. We'll be getting back to our usual routines, but be patient with us. It's certainly an adjustment, to have your memory messed with like this. Also, to anyone that came to Lupin for Vi's birthday: Sorry we missed you. This place had other plans for us, I guess. We'll have to catch up with everyone soon, once we settle back in.

username: punchesu
ok time for my question. I know there’s some of you guys who’ve come back and have memories from home, and some who didn’t. can you contact us on which one happened to you? cait didn’t mention it, but she’s curious too. add to her conspiracy wall of this place.

[ooc: mild spoilers in pic but Caitlyn looks like that now anyway, so.]

Comments

[bulleting]

[Yes, she is 100% seeing that edited image after it was posted to the network and scoffing. Did she really--?? Oh my gods.]

-- Vi! Did you really just edit that-- That's what you've been doing?

[She's laughing, but also annoyed, but also not surprised in the slightest. Sigh. This woman that she loves!!]

[grappler]

[Vi can't help but laugh a bit mischievously, amused by the look on Caitlyn's face.]

You're lucky I didn't post the pic of the mongoose. Yet.

[Vi please stop]

[bulleting]

[Vi please.]

Mon-- Are you seriously still going on about that?

[It never ends, does it? She huffs.]

At least you don't look like an oil slick anymore. [Thanks to her. What a pain in the ass that was, trying to wash that shit out of Vi's hair.]

[grappler]

Because it's accurate.

[she rolls her eyes.]

Yeah, yeah, because you washed my hair. Wish I was conscious for all that, I would've liked to see it.

[conflictresolution]

Thank goodness. We almost didn't survive without you both. Our saviors return.

[Vi already broke the truce before she left, so he feels no guilt showing up in a public post]

putting this after the last drop thread so we don't rehash it again--lmk if it doesn't work

[grappler]

[SHE DIDN'T BREAK THE TRUCE-- oh yeah she definitely didin a blatant way to Viktor and Jinx.

after all the arguing about Lupin and the detective agency in the Last Drop, Vi's kind of deflated a bit. she's so fucking tired, it's hard to muster up enough energy to be angry at Silco.]

who's gonna make your life hell if i'm not here?

[conflictresolution]

My life was hell long before you were born, girl. I've simply made the most of it.

Did you like the flowers? I thought it added to the soft ambiance of Lupin.

[Look, deep down (and everyone knows it's deep, deep, deep down), Silco relished having Vi around to pick at. He would deny it, but he enjoyed pushing her buttons. Just like her father.]

[grappler]

how could i forget you're old as dirt?

[at least he can't see the face she's making at the tablet, though he'd probably be amused by it.]

you mean the flowers i trashed? were they from you? i knew i should've burned them.

Boo. You owe me a gift for your birthday!

You already know where I stand on that. More importantly, you might want to look for a certain sister of yours.

Also? Nice boobs.

[Oh! Dazai! Vi had told her that he had returned, she just hadn't had a chance to speak to him. Perfect timing. Just. Gonna conveniently ignore the comment about her breasts, even if it was just regarding Vi's ridiculous drawing.]

Vi told me you returned. You really don't remember anything about being here, before?

[Seemed to be the usual trend. A few friends had come and gone, and didn't remember it. So why did they? What was the difference?]

[humandispel]

Hey there! Caitlyn, was it?

And it's as you heard. Any memories I have of this place prior is gone with the wind. That seems to be the usual case - except that isn't the case with you two, is it?

You mentioned that you went home for a while, like things have changed over there while you were away. That might be a clue to how your circumstances differ.

[bulleting]

You aren't the first that's told me that.

[Astralin. Ekko. Now him. What made her and Vi so special, that they'd come back and actually remember?]

That's right. About eight months passed, for both of us. We were from the same moment before this, too. And we remember the same thing again, now.

[Interesting, right? She thinks so. Not that she's mad, that she's so bound to Vi that they can't even come and go in this place without each other. Though Vi had been here for months, before she even arrived in the beginning.]

private.

[grappler]

aren't the free drinks enough?

already on it, trying to find Jinx. got any leads so i don't have to chase all over Aldrip to find her again?

yeah, she's got some great ones.

[humandispel]

Free drinks are already a regular day. I was expecting a party and everything!

She's not in Aldrip yet, but she's going to avoid you for as long as she can. But that's not gonna stop you, is it?

[arachnerina]

[Them too, huh? This has been happening a lot lately.]

the same thing happened to me and my boyfriend
he was gone a whole month, but it was just a week for me
more than a year passed back home for both of us
i've seen it happen several times lately
what's up with that?

[grappler]

dunno. it may be something or it may be nothing, it's kinda hard to tell around here.

aren't the "glitches" supposed to be done and over with or something?

[arachnerina]

i'm not sure it's glitches?
"updates" might be the better term
stem has been bouncing around ideas about it
almost like the system is trying to see if it's working and we change

un: crusher

[fieldtrip]

Yeah you did worry me, jackasses
Are you both okay now?

un: cupcake

[bulleting]

Yes, Toph. We're both okay now. Better than we've been, in a long time.

[Well, emotionally more so than physically. She was still healing, but that would come with time. Fractures have healed, stab wounds are just scars. They were both alive, and together. That was all Caitlyn could ask for, at this point.]

[fieldtrip]

What's that supposed to mean? What happened while you were home?

[grappler]

not like i asked to get ripped outta here and thrown back home.

[also lmfao Cait. Vi's answer is gonna be--]

define "okay".

[fieldtrip]

YOU define okay
You know that's the point of the question right

text; un: shades, totally fine with spoilers!

[laserguy]

so you both disappeared around the same time and came back around the same time? with all your memories?

that's kind of odd.

glad both of you remember everything though.

[grappler]

i'm glad too.

[she doesn't know what she'd do if Caitlyn wasn't on the same page as her, or worse-- not come back at all.]

I know i've been here since basically the beginning of all this shit, but it's not like I pay a whole lot of attention to most people. [blunt.] that's why I was wondering if it's kinda happened before.

[laserguy]

[Now that she's mentioned it... she's right, Vi's been here longer than most. She's like one of the few friends he's known from when he initially arrived that's still here. Now he's extra glad that she remembers everything.

Even if it means that he can give her extra shit now--]

vi did you just admit that you don't know what's going on most of the time despite being here the longest? or one of the longest??

it hasn't happened to me yet. the disappearing and coming back, but it's happened to several of my friends.
