♐ 011 // [Voice]

[It was late in the afternoon and seeing as Flynn hadn't emerged from his room all day, Raven decided to invite himself inside. He wasn't expecting it to be completely bare. It took him by surprise for a moment. Flynn had been in Luceti for as long as he could recall, to suddenly disappear like this after all this time, it could be said that he felt genuinely sad by his absence.]

Hey, listen up for a minute would ya? [He really didn't want to do this, but someone had to and he knew once Yuri found out then he was likely to need some time to himself.]

Turns out Flynn Scifo's been sent home, all his stuff is gone. [Raven paused for a moment, so many from his world had been sent home these past few months, it was becoming hard not to feel discouraged by it all.] That's about it. Sorry ta anyone who knew him.

Yeah, things used ta be so hectic! Especially when the baby was around, none of us would ever get a good nights sleep with all that noise. [And by night he means the afternoon.]

Maybe it's a good thing though! Well, it's not a good thing ta lose friends, but I mean havin' a more peaceful house! It'll be less stress, more storage room... [He sighs.] It just ain't gonna be the same.

[He quickly perks up again, an idea striking.] Oh, hey! What if we're all being sent home slowly? People are still comin' in, yeah, but lots of people disappeared this month! And the Malnosso haven't kidnapped anyone fer a while either, not that I know of! Maybe all these drafts and experiments are comin' to an end! Wouldn't that be great?

[Though he's well aware that the world he'd be sent back to would not be the same one this Yuri was from. That kind of stings the back of his mind, yet he knows the kid will always be the same in each timeline. He's just become quite attached to this version. It may not seem like it, but this old man really wants to keep his memories of his time here. He doesn't want everything to be erased as if it never happened, he doesn't want himself, or Yuri, or Estelle to ever forget the people they met in this little bubble. Knowing that it's likely to happen should they ever get sent back again doesn't fill him with any kind of confidence. Alas, he tries to look at the brighter side of things, the stuff he doesn't have to think about.]

[---A baby? Yuri more or less stares blankly at Raven as he continues talking, but he's not really listening to everything he's saying. That's right, there was a baby here. And of all things, it was ... his, wasn't it? His and Judy's ...

What was his name? ... He really can't remember the name of his own--

It's right around there that he tries to move his thoughts away from that and back to what Raven's going on about. ... Unfortunately, he decided to tune in right around the last few sentences. Well, that's ... that's enough to respond to without looking too suspicious, right? Yeah ...]

Ah, yeah ... I mean, with the way some of the Malnosso talk to us, I don't think they'd really keep it a secret if things were almost over, but it'd sure be nice if they were.

[It's not difficult to notice when someone has become spacey unfortunately. He may have been lost in his own thoughts, but he did spot something.]

... You sure yer alright, kid?

Huh? [Whoops. Maybe he answered weirdly? ... Well, he is kind of tired, so let's go with that.] Yeah, I'm fine. Just ... tired, that's all.

[Raven mentions a baby, Yuri zones out a bit and seems only slightly affected... hmm...]

I actually meant ta ask you somethin', how are those memories of bein' here before coming along?

[... Dammit. He must've got caught spacing out during all that. ... Well, maybe that's for the best. If certain things aren't coming back to him on their own, then he very well may need some outside help for it.]

... I've got no way to tell for sure, but I think I got most of them back. [ ... ] Not all of them make sense, though, so I guess a few things are still missing.

[You're asking for help from Raven, think about that for a minute.]

Well, I have nothin' better ta do and I'm all ears right now. What's buggin' ya?

[Desperate times, desperate measures, etc etc. He goes quiet for a few moments while he thinks of a way to word this without feeling terrible about himself, even if it's technically not his fault that he can't remember right.]

... I didn't remember anything about a baby being here until you mentioned it.

[... That should be enough. He doesn't want to get too into it.]

[Oh... That's... Awkward.

Raven actually seems to be angered by that. How could anyone forget their own child? What he wouldn't give to have a kid himself, dammit Yuri.]

Jonah, his name was Jonah.

[He's noticing Raven not exactly being happy to hear what he had to say, and he can't blame him. If anything, now that he knows what it was he couldn't remember, he's pretty pissed off with himself. Especially after hearing Jonah's name -- that just reminds him what he promised himself after his son was moved out of the Luceti enclosure and into another one.

As such, he doesn't respond. He just looks very, very frustrated.]

[Seeing Yuri's reaction to what he'd said meant only one thing. He decided it would be wise to back off a bit and let the kid gather some thoughts before speaking again.]

It's not your fault. I came back here before with no memories, you're not to blame for forgetting.

[It's a good thing Raven didn't say that right away, as the quiet moment did give Yuri a little time to forcibly move away from blaming himself for something that was completely out of his control. At least somewhat, anyway. He's more or less trying to stop thinking about the whole thing for the moment, as all the memories that are now making sense to him are just making him mad for forgetting just who was supposed to be the center of them.

When he responds, he doesn't sound too thrilled, but he isn't lying. He knows Raven's right, he just doesn't like that this happened to start with.]

... Yeah. I know.

[Another awkward silence.]

Oh! I don't know how effective it'd be... but I might have a decent idea?

[Looking over at Raven now.]

What?

The Malnosso are doing those missions, right? Maybe there's an opportunity fer you ta see your kid again?

[... That's right. Those missions are outside of the Luceti enclosure. He didn't even think about that.]

... Maybe. I don't really trust those things, but I guess there's only one way to find out if that's possible.

It's just somethin' a little less depressing to think about, it gives you hope instead of despair. So it can't be that bad an idea. But I can't blame ya fer not wantin' ta jump on it, it's hard to say how dependable those things are just yet.

I'll keep it in mind, at least. [ ... ] Thanks.

[... His omelette is probably cold as hell by now. Well, at least he seems to be doing a little better.]

[The omelette was cold to begin with, it took him hours to get the ketchup right.]

And if ya ever need some stress relief, I'll be happy to beat the crap outta you!

I think I'd be a little happier if that were the other way around.

[WELL time to start on this delicious cold omelette. Food is food, he's not about to throw it out and demand a new one or something.]

Alright, I'll leave ya ta eat. [He gets up from the seat and starts moving away from the table, waving a hand back dismissively.] Talk ta the Princess when ya get a chance, she could do with knowin' she's not alone with an old fart like me.

Don't worry, I will.

[With all the disappearances lately, including his own, he can't imagine how Estelle must feel right now. He'll try to talk to her as soon as he's able.]
