[There's an old fart standing on the roof of house #12. How he got up there, or rather, when he got up there is a complete mystery he respawned there. In his hands he flips through the pages of the journal, looking for anything remotely interesting that he may have missed. After a while he speaks up.]

It's kinda windy today, don't ya think?

[knightofratatosk]

[He nods.]

A lot of them have been sent home, but there are still some people from my world here.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Yet ya still feel lonely. Weird isn't it? But that's my point.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Well, that's... most of them didn't know me back in our world. Only Colette, Zelos and Regal did.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Oh! Timeline things right? Got a problem like that myself.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Right-- Sheena and Raine come from almost two years before I do.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Ya know them in yer timeline, so what's to stop you from being able to bond here? It's awkward and difficult, but you know about them so ya should be able to hit off better.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

We get along just fine, it's just... strange. I don't know how to describe it.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Like somethin' is missing? Something doesn't add up?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, just like that. It makes it hard to talk to them sometimes.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Try startin' from step one again, instead of just jumpin' in there and going "remember that time we did somethin'"?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I did try that, but I think it's weird for them to be talking to someone who knows about the future.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Drinking some more tea.]

I'm from the future too! I'm further ahead in time than Yuri and Judith as far as I know. Karol is beyond me as well! We just came to the conclusion that it'd more fun not ta spoil those things fer each other.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Not even if they ask you about what happens in the future? In my case, it's... things aren't going that well in my world.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

They're not goin' too good back home fer me either. But it's better not to say, who wants to know anyway? It's better ta experience it yerself.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe that's why Richter and Tenebrae wouldn't tell me about what happens in my future.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Possibly! There's always a good reason ta not tell someone what's gonna happen.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

But if people can be brought here from different points in time, then maybe that means there's a way to change stuff that happened in the past.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I told Yuri somethin' that happened in my timeline and in his timeline it was different. So it's possible I 'spose. I didn't really go much inta the details.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe I could...

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Hm? Could what?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Oh, um, never mind. I was just thinking out loud, that's all. It's not important right now.

[Action] Ffff 700!

[crisisrain]

Ya can't say that and then not tell me!

[Action] /CONFETTI!

[knightofratatosk]

I-I said it's not important! And besides, it wouldn't make any sense to someone who doesn't know all about... something that happened a long time ago.

[Action] \o/

[crisisrain]

OK, how about ya tell me what happened to you and I'll tell ya how I died? Give a little recieve a little~

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Well, that is a fair trade... let's just hope Raven takes this well. Deep breath, and here goes.]

... I'm not actually Emil-- I'm not even human at all. I'm really the summon spirit Ratatosk.
