WHO: Sampo, Caelus, Noctis, and Gilgamesh
WHERE: Inside Gil's teapot, mostly.
WHEN: Just after the mid-month zodiac post
WHAT: Sampo having Noct and Caelus come stay over while things in the city aren't so hot. Chaos probably gonna ensue.
WARNINGS: Just general nonsense of four chaos goblins in one house.



[ 'Meet me outside of Poundland' isn't exactly the best sentence to say to ANYONE, and yet it's a sentence Samuel had to use today. Thinking back on it, he really wonders why the owners of this establishment decided on fucking THAT for the name of their store, but.

It did fine for a meeting place--especially given the 'place' he was staying was hidden in plain sight in the shop nextdoor. The shop that, in Undertown, many had wonderings if it was the front of some money laundering group. Which was hilarious.

Sampo can be found waiting--looking enough like "himself" to be recognizable, but with a mix of grey and blue hair instead of his usual ruffled brown.

He'll wiggle his fingers when Caelus and Noct finally approach, before throwing his arms out wide with a bright smile. ]

My friends! You. Uh.

You weren't followed, were you.

Penacony. I was there, too.

[And you, sir, were not. At least not long. Fucking whatshername.]

But yeah, he was a big name general and leader in our past lives. I remember helping him and the Xianzhou out. [But also:] Why were you in a gate?

[anyprice]

[ he absolutely WAS there. just not where Caelus was. Helping sparkle play a trick on Black Swan. It didn't go over well. But he got his mask back, at least... ]

I think I was just there to deliver a letter or something. Memory's fuzzy, it wasn't for that long.

Mostly it's all memories of cold ice and snow.

...

I spend a lot of time in gates. I'm guessing Noct didn't tell you why I've suddenly come back into his life, eh.

Good kid.

[actnormal]

I didn't ask, no. The last few weeks are already so freakin' weird, you coming back into his life might as well happen, you know?

[Noct's life. Not Caleb's, because nothing is just Caleb it all comes through Noct.]

...Life in this world is pretty weird, innit. I don't know. It's a lot less messy in some ways, more messy in others. Do you miss the train?

[ trying to change the subject hahaha distraction go ]

[actnormal]

[He shrugs, completely missing that Sampo is trying to change the subject (not that he would know why, even if he did notice).]

I barely remember it, really. It's just flashes and feelings. I think I miss being in space, though.

[ that's why he likes you caelus--caleb. in this life, the last one--he's so easy to get to go along with him, regardless if its a conversation or some scheme. He's grinning. ]

How long since you've started remembering? It's been a while fer me, so I guess I got some. Eh. Clearer pictures, hehehh.

Space travel... sounds fun. I don't think I remember getting to go on that train.

Least, not from the memories I've had.

The start of this month, give or take a few days. [So this is all really new for him, and then there was the stabbing and the everything else...] I remember a few people, other than the ones that are here, but nothing concrete. But it's fine, I guess. That was then, yeah?

[It has to be fine. It shouldn't bother him.]

[anyprice]

[ but does it bother you? ]

Depends.

Who are you, Caleb?

Something I remember I said once. "True happiness always entails the manifestation of the dignity of mankind."

If you're happy being 'you' in this life, then be you.
If you want to remember and go back to being 'him', then do that, too.

Or, be both. Doesn't that sound fun?

[actnormal]

[Caleb's quiet, either thinking or pretending to think.]

I dunno. It's all still new to me, like I said. I don't think I look like past me, at least, so maybe I'm just Caleb. Who has a raccoon tail.
