I never expected to be back in this place. Things around here sure have changed. Not that I expected it to stay the same, all things considered, but... I definitely remember it being livelier. I guess a lot of people didn't make it and those monsters are still out there. It feels like the town itself is smaller, too, but that could just be my memory slipping.
I don't know how I left or how I came back. It feels like a dream I can't wake up from. From what I'm reading, it sounds like a lot of people have gone missing lately. Hopefully they just went back home.
If you're reading this, how long have you been here? How long has it been in general?
This is Kiryu Kazuma, by the way. If anyone's still around who remembers me. It's been a while.
((ooc: Kiryu's back from a canon update in which he's aged eleven (!!) years, and he has no idea that in terms of in-game time, he's only been gone for about 20 days. His memories of this place are fuzzy at best, though, as a result. I also haven't really been able to look at the comms much during my hiatus, so anything you fill him in on helps me, too!
Also, in case this turns into action tagging: Other than some lines around his eyes that definitely weren't there before, he's barely aged. Maybe he's a little bit broader now, but that's really it.dem titties))

But welcome back! I've been here around four months now.
[Did you ever actually manage to meet the rug before this, Kiryu?]
no subject
I wonder if I was part of some mass disappearance, too.
[He was only vaguely aware of the rug when he was here, and it's been so long now that his memory of the resident rugman is gone.]
no subject
[Like his buddy Naruto, for example. :< Sorry, Kiryu, if he'd known you before, then he'd be able to tell you that you didn't vanish too long ago.]
no subject
[just to give some insight for what's normal in his life, ig]
no subject
[He's still a little shaky on the concept of "video", TBH. But what the hell is your world like that you could easily imagine seeing mass graves there, Kiryu?]
no subject
And, it's hard to remember, but... Probably close to a decade.
[oh nowhere special. just the underbelly of modern day tokyo. :3c]
no subject
[.....That sounds like a really scary city D8]
no subject
That was years ago, but you said you've only been here four months.
no subject
[When you have an anachronistic wisecracking buddy prone to pop culture references and making the fourth wall his plaything..... you actually get pretty good at accepting timeline weirdness for exactly what it is, inexplicable weirdness. As long as you don't try too hard to understand it, then you won't get too bewildered by how little sense it all makes.]
no subject
But there's no denying that we have the same memories of this place.
[and kiryu's never been much of a heavy lifter in the thinking department anyway, so this is one mystery that's likely to go unanswered]

un: sol
However long you've been gone, it probably hasn't been that long for us here. The first of us only got here four months ago.
no subject
Sorry, my memory of this place isn't great.
un: bigbadwolf
I've been here nearly two months. Can't say how long it's been for you in general since you were last year but a year hasn't even gone by since the first arrivals. When we had the Hotdog and Dog mayors.
no subject
That doesn't make sense. It's been a decade since I was here. It was so long ago that I started to think it was just a bad dream.
➡un: koganeiro
are you really kiryu kazuma?
no subject
no subject
it's probably better if i told you that in person.
no subject
Do we know each other?
no subject
no subject
... I see.
[welp time to go face the music ig]
Where do you want to meet?
no subject
no subject
[and people still refer to it as being majima's?? what, did the man become some kind of legend after kiryu left the first time?]
I'll head over there.
no subject
i'll be waiting, then.

The things you have been reading about are true. People having been disappearing. We're not entirely sure why it's happening. It started off as a few but now it seems there's almost no one left. But, we're still here and we can still make this work.
It hasn't been that long here. I'm not familiar with how many months or days it takes on this planet for it to change over for a year to pass.
