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.]

> Who's that person? Like you, he seems to be wandering the grounds. You try to wonder why he's walking around, but you don't keep it up for long. Probably because it doesn't matter. Nothing does--

Shut up...

> You'd know that hair anywhere. It's so familiar you can't help but blurt out:

Minato! Are you alright?

[evokesdeath.livejournal.com]

...How do you know my name?

> Good job, Souji, you're freaking him out. Better come up with an excuse, since Minato's too smart and too seven to take time travel at face value.

I'm...here to protect you. You and a few other people have wandered into a different reality, and I'm in charge of keeping you safe until you can go home.

> Well, you just appointed yourself in charge anyway. At least 'another reality' is obscure enough not to sound like an obvious lie...

Another reality...?

> After what you've seen the last couple of days, that doesn't sound too implausible.

...Alright. What's your name?

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Seta. Souji Seta.

...I should warn you the story's more complicated, but what's important right now is keeping you safe, okay?

[Lately, Minato hasn't been good at trusting people, and the voice in his head is only making it worse, but somehow, he feels a connection to this guy.]

...Okay. How can I get back home?

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

...I don't know yet. I promise I'll get you back there, though. Right now we just need to keep you and the other kids safe.

> You've certainly done it before.
