Okay. So apparently we're all caught in a timewarp here, which is why my penthouse no longer exists.

This is not much of a problem.

The problem is every time I try to use a Gate back to Earth P3/P4, I end up either somewhere in a post-apocalyptic wasteland filled with demons, or the Tokugawa Shogunate. If this is permanent (again), I'm going to be pretty upset.

[While complaining about this, Souji is wandering the grounds. In particular, he's looking for anyone who's been de-aged to calm them down and, hopefully, corral them somewhere safe. So, kidlets, feel free to bother/run from the authority figure.]

...Kashihara? What are...

...huh, so you were a kid at some point after all.

... Normally, I'd kinda be afraid that you know my name, but you aliens have your own powers. [His tone is flat and almost implies that he isn't all too interested... which is actually the exact opposite in a case like this.]

And I was always a kid. At least, that's what everybody tells me, so I'm going with it.

While you're almost right about the aliens, I am from Japan. The problem here is that time is fractured and distorted at the moment. I met you a long time ago...but you're not even close to coming here for the first time.

... Oh, so you're saying I was here before. With time being fractured and distorted... I guess... You saw my adult form, going by what you said before?

[Kashihara crosses his arms and nods, expressing his understanding of the situation.]

That's kinda cool. So, what was I doing here? What am I like as an adult? and... Who are you?

I'm Souji Seta, and in the future, you're...

...

...well, a good conversationalist. That's about the high point.

Heeeh? Guess I grew up to be a boring adult. [Kashihara scratched the back of his head and gave Souji a sigh.]

Maybe I should rethink some of my plans... People already think anything paranormal is weird anyway.

Hmmm... and I'm guessing you weren't always such a serious-looking adult?

...I gotta be honest, I've always had about this same expression.

Is that right? Maybe you ought to consider getting a girlfriend or something? I'unno if that'll help, though.

Buut, meh... I guess if I'm a part of this whole mess, I'll also have to help out. First off, do you know who the bad alien that caused this is?

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Kid, believe me when I say that girlfriends do not help as much as you think they do.

Anyway, what evidence we have points to it being an accident on the part of one of our Agents. If we can find him, maybe he can figure out the cause.

[in-laquetti.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not like I'd know. [Kashihara grumbles under his breath.]

... An accident? What, something like this? That's kinda dangerous... It's like accidentally falling asleep on the button that launches a nuke.

If I knew the guy's name, maybe I could help find him for you.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

In my time, I wouldn't trust you with his or her gender.

...but then, you might be a different Akinari Kashihara in the past.

[in-laquetti.livejournal.com]

Haaah? Was I really that unreliable? You almost make it sound like I turned into some deadbeat dad.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

I never met your son, but you didn't mention him very often either...

I don't want to hand out details on a classified case like yours, so I guess I'll trust you for the moment. We're looking for Guybrush Threepwood. Yes, that really is his name.

[in-laquetti.livejournal.com]

Whoa, whoa [he says still in a very deadpan voice], that's kind of a territory I don't think I really want to get into. It's kind of awkward hearing that I have a son when I'm just seventeen years old.

Guybrush Threepwood... Yep, I knew it. Totally an alien.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Pirate, actually. I think it's an English name.

[in-laquetti.livejournal.com]

In the English books I've read, even a name like Guybrush is kinda on the weird side, but... whatever, guess that's something he and his parents had to deal with.

The jolly type of pirate or the actually deadly... no, if he made this kind of an accident, it's probably jolly.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

You catch on quick.

[in-laquetti.livejournal.com]

So, yeah, I'll try finding him right now. I think something like a pirate would stick out like a sore thumb anyway.

What should I tell him? "You messed up time and space, so get to fixing it?"

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Add "before Kyonko beats you up" and you've pretty much got what I'm going to tell him, yeah.
