[Recent events have left a lot of flotsam cluttering the Destiny Islands beach over here, and the wind's blowing the waves into spray.

And sitting on a barrel over here, we have Xeha, gazing thoughtfully out over the waters. What's happened lately has been playing pretty heavily on his mind... These things come and go. But it's all shaken his confidence a little.

So, for the moment, the kid's taking it easy.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah... and if you're going to ask about the age thing, long story. [Way to assume, there.]

Why would I ask about something I'm already aware of?

You - wait.

[He smiles. Does that mean what he thinks it does?]

Well... you'll find out soon enough, I think! This is going to be all kind of hard to explain...

[It does!]

That hardly means you shouldn't try.

Did I say I wasn't going to? [He gives a bit of an awkward laugh.] This is kind of a point outside worlds, outside normal space and time. Some kind of - convergence. Not just this beach; this connects to other places, too. It's only actually a copy of a real location.

[There's a silence as Even filters through that, making what sense of it he can.]

A... Replica, of sorts?

I suppose you could say that? There's places here that aren't copies of anything I'd heard of, but ... huh, hadn't thought of that.

You as much as said it yourself. What we see here is merely a copy.

Huh. [He pauses.] Speaking of copies... that's the other thing about this place. It's full of alternate versions of people from other - worlds, dimensions, timelines. And I'm sure they're all real.

You're saying I could find another you?

Yeah. The catch is that they're all older, for ...some reason or another - that's why I made a comment. I didn't realise you were going to be - uh. You.

[He considers this for a moment.]

I take it there are other who look like me present as well, then?

[A bit of a nod-] I've seen a few around, yeah.

How intriguing. And you say this is not an uncommon occurrence?

It's pretty much everyday. I'd honestly say there's less people here that don't look like someone else than ones who do...

I suppose I shall count myself among on of the luckier ones, then. After all, you should be easier to find, if what you've said is correct.

[He gives a bit of a laugh.] Yeah, pretty much!

Ah yes. One other thing. Should I expect to see others from our own home here?

Oh, right! Braig and Ienzo are around the place. I'm sure they'll be glad to see you too...

[fffffffffffft Braig]

I'm sure they will be.

Yeah. I mean - heh. I've missed you.

How long have you been here, if I may ask.

By my timeline? It's ... got to be at least a year.

A year? I saw you no more than a day ago.

That's ... kind of another weird thing about here. Time doesn't move in sync with the outside universes.
