So... This is an event, right? Everyone's acting so weird, and that lady that showed up before...

[Yousuke's been having a particularly hard time with this one. He has memories, years worth of memories here in the mansion that suddenly feel like they don't exactly line up, with what people have been telling him and the theories they've worked out. And yet what he knew before, memories of his world-- they had to be true. The emotions he had then and the emotions they caused now couldn't possibly be fake.]

[Terrible things had happened. Terrible things because he wasn't good enough. Strong enough.]

[He's acting completely different than usual. The normally cheerful, bold and pushy Yousuke has given way to a sullen and shifty-eyed individual. Depressed, and unsure, like he can't even trust the words coming out of his own mouth.]

We know everyone else isn't right, but we're convinced we're the same-- how is that possible? Are we being tricked?

[Very quickly, that mistrust turns into shaky anger.]

I don't-- I don't like being messed with! Don't fuck with me! I want answers!

[Souji's experiencing a similar incongruency between his memories of home and his memories of Wonderland, but they aren't nearly as off kilter as Yousuke's.

Souji had been kind of avoiding Yousuke during the first part of this event, but after seeing this network post, he can't do that anymore. No matter what he might have done, seeing Yousuke like this has totally blind-sided him and he has to address it right now. Like right right now.]

...Calm down.

[Though he's calm and as quiet as normal, it's not his usual neutral. There's some edge of nervousness and near-desperation to him.]

I--

[--can't, he's about to say. But he hasn't realized it was Souji who was asking. Instead he chews on his lip and looks away furtively, not calm but not exactly angry either. He huffs through his nose]

Fine.

[It's not fine, clearly.]

Do you want me to come to your room?

...Do you?

[You ask like you're trying to find a way out.]

...It's easier to talk in person, isn't it?

[It had been a genuine offer. He just wasn't sure Yousuke would want him around.]

Yeah. It is.

[He doesn't sound like he's against it. Just that... Well, there's a lot of complicated feelings up in here right now. It doesn't help his self-loathing that Souji seemed to be avoiding him the past couple days.]

I'll come. I'll be there soon.

[Here's a Kid whose whole world's alright. In fact, there's something a bit vacant about him.] Sorry, ain't sure what yer talkin' 'bout. I feel jus' fine.

Well that's good for you...

[Alright, even that's a bit too caustic for him. He sighs heavily.]

That's what I'm trying to say. We all think we're right and everyone else is wrong. That's fishy.

[That's fine, harsh words roll off him like dirt off an Anklegator.] What ya mean, ever'one else is wrong? What're folk sayin'?

you probably think there's something wrong with me, right?

...S'pose ya seem a bit bitier than normal.

[Bitey. That's a quaint way to put it.]

And you've gotten too soft. [Kid usually had a more serious nature.] But you don't even realize it, right?

Things... things have been really odd lately...

[ Of course, like the others, Chihiro isn't quite the same either. ]

I don't think I'm different, but... everyone says that I have a different haircut, or wearing different clothes... I even think at least one person thought I was a girl, for some reason...

I... have to agree with them. You usually--

[He makes a vague gesture at... All of Chihiro. Knowing her usual preferred gender doesn't match up with her actual gender doesn't help him in the explanations department either.]

Never mind. You're just not the same as normal either. Somebody's messing with us, and I don't like it.

Everyone's different, but... do you think there's any kind of pattern to it? Usually the events have a pretty clear cut theme...

[He shakes his head with a grumble.]

Some people are cheerier, others are depressed... It's all over the place. People've been telling me I'm acting gloomy.

You... you do seem a bit moodier than normal... I mean, I've seen you in bad moods before, but this time it seems like it's different...

I've been getting that a lot. People've been saying that I'm usually... Cheerier? But I'm not like that. I haven't been like that for years.

[ No matter what Yousuke, there is no escaping this voice. Zacharie doesn't start off with his usual laughter, and his carefree demeanor sounds a little blunted, but all-in-all? Not a whole lot different on this end. ]

Something is amiss. Either an event, or you have caught Eren's borderline psychotic anger. And alas, my meat doesn't seem to help this moody malady! There is only one known solution.

[ hey kid u wanna buy sum xanax ]

[Nope. Totally creepy weird deep French accent voice forever.]

[And we can assume this isn't the first time he's harassed Yousuke so. No. He enjoys it. And so, poor Yousuke suffers. But he also learns: how to ignore bullshit.]

I'm not buying any of your stupid crap, Zach.

Free trial?

[ that's how you hook the kids ]

Ahahaha, just kidding! ...Sort of. I doubt that pills will heal you, but there's little else I can offer for your mood.

[Sigh. Zach, he doesn't like you, but sometimes he feels like you need help just as much as he does.]

Most regular people offer stuff like... friendship. Consolation. Not drugs.

Now who has ever accused me of being "regular people"?

Besides, you already have my friendship and sympathy. Consolation I can give, although I can't guarantee it will suffice. But unlabeled anti-anxiety drugs from a world I have only the vaguest familiarity with? That holds promise!

[ Is he joking???? We just don't know. He's already given Eren the sketchy street Xanax so it could seriously go either way. ]

[Alprazolam. I bet it's alprazolam.]

[Either way, ZACHARIE PLEASE...]

Promise for what? Your entertainment? You know how dangerous that probably is?
