[some distance from the main area there's the sound of an explosion, followed by something shattering, and then a Vexen falls through a door. he looks older than most Vexens, especially given the grey streaking his hair. he's got a somewhat torn lab coat on, and that shield Vexens are known for is on the floor next to him.

...he's just going to lie here for a bit and wait for the dizziness to leave.]

(ooc: SIGH. Info in profile.)

[studies him for a moment, taking in the eyepatch especially.]

I believe so.

Which Vexen are you? I'm sure I don't know a Vexen with grey in his hair...

The, ah, one with the taser.

[if that's happened yet. he's not sure.]

[his eye widens and he nods.]

You're older!

Indeed.

[so observant, Roxas.]

I imagine this is another of those 'time travel' cases.

How much older are you?

[is so fascinated by the grey streaks.]

Hm... roughly fifteen years, I would think.

(ooc: By the way, you've got a bit of an icon switch (http://i41.tinypic.com/6928f9.png) there.)

[ooc: pfft. XD not anymore, I hope.]

...woah.

[fifteen years seems an extremely long time to him.]

[yes, that always seems like a large amount of time to Replicas.]

Quite.

(ooc: Nope, it's all normal!)

So you've been in here for fifteen years? That's insane.

As have a number of people. It is not that unusual in that time.

And now you've gone back fifteen years... that must be awful. Now you'll have to live another fifteen years in here just to get back to where you were!

Indeed. But I do believe my younger self is still present. Therefore, come fifteen years, "I" would be there anyway.

...so in fifteen years, there would be a normal you and a you that's thirty years older than you are now. The other you I mean. Ehm.

Exactly.

...why must everything be so confusing.

[facepalming because this is making his head hurt.]

It is best not to think too much when it comes to time travel.

Yeah...

[hm. looks rather troubled.]

[oh dear. sighs.]

What is the problem?

You're so old... it makes me a bit sad.

[...stares a little.]

Why would that make you sad?

Because time moves too fast.

Perhaps it would seem that way to you, as you see my younger self as well as me, but fifteen years is a long time. It does not move terribly fast, believe me.

I suppose... but it feels like that.

[aging crisis already, Roxas?]

A lot of things must have happened in fifteen years, though...

Plenty, yes, though I am not sure it would be wise to share what exactly.
