โOh wow, nice!โ
underteikaโ
What a friendly welcome! A nice change!
โUm, hey there.โ
A friendly half-hearted wave was given back to her.
โNice to meet you, Marta. N-no Iโm not, um, notโฆ no. Thatโs not why Iโm here. Iโm here to pick up some stuff for a friend of mine. Theyโre feelinโ kinda crummy, so like, I offered to come over here? Itโs a long story.โ
โฆ โฆ
โOh. Sorry. Iโm Anda. I thinkโฆ my friend is one of your roommates? Have you seen a weird floating cat come in and out of here at all?โ
โOh. Oooooh, so thatโsย what that stuff is then, I guess.โ A different person, but still an explanation as to what the stuff was. A bit strange, maybe- but she imagined whoever it was had probably just started the process of moving or something, maybe. She didnโt actually know, sheโd never paid much attention to how all that stuff worked here.
โA.... floating cat?โ Marta tilted her head for a moment, trying to think, before there was an eventual look of recognition and a nod.ย โOh yeah, that adorable looking monster! Wait- you mean... they were a roommate? I just noticed them drift by a couple times, I had no idea...โ

@dualblossomspinnerโ
(โKey, keyโฆ no, I donโt think they ever gave me a key. Damn.โ)
So much for that. While they were happy to run the errant for their poor traumatized primordial god cat, getting into the house they never used wasnโt as easy as they thought. And while some maniacs they knew would just break inโฆ
โฆWell, theyโre just going to knock.
Marta had found herself a bit confused by some stuff just... randomly showing up in her place the other day, but sheโd assumed itโd just meant that sheโd ended up getting a new roommate. When no new roommates had shown up, thatโd certainly put that theory to the test... but maybe whoever it was had just decided not to come by right away?
Hearing a knock at the door had drawn her from her thoughts, hopping up from where sheโd been seated and walking over. Maybe thatย was her illusive roommate, then?
โHi! Iโm Marta- are you a new roommate here?โ
@voltedivineโ
โSheena! Youโre here?โ Marta waved hello to the other woman, before pausing a moment. Given her luck, it was more than likely that Sheena wouldnโt recognize her- but sheโd put that aside for now. After all, there were bigger fish to fry- or puzzles to solve.ย โOh, uh- I donโt know if youโll remember me, but Iโm Marta. Anyways, thatโs not really the point- were you looking to do this thing too? Iโd been hoping to find someone nice to partner up with for this quest!โ
Sheena was cool and competent- sheโd definitely make a good partner for this steam-puzzle thing. Just... hopefully there wouldnโt be any pitfalls.

Raine slowly knelt closer to the ground to place her staff on the roots of the Ophiuchus Tree. When she rose to her feet she wore a compassionate smile, and she stepped closer to Marta. The half elf first placed her hands on the girlโs shoulders, and then brought her in for a hug.
โI know, dear. Itโs written on your face. Us adults can tell these things.โ So her suspicions were correct. If she had not simply known someone in the Vanguard, then she was once a part of them herself.ย โThe difference between you and them is that you could tell when your groupโs motives were not well-intentioned. You gathered the courage to leave and stood against the side of hatred and revenge. You saw reason and righteousness and you tried to stop them. Nothing good ever happens from controlling people through needless violence and fear. Sometimes the malevolence in someoneโs heart grows too deeply and they can no longer be brought back to see your point of view.โย She knew all this of Marta because she knew herselfโif they traveled together surely it was to bring peace to Aselia again. Her goal was a heavy burden, and Marta was still but a child. When would the youth stop having to take up the mantle of the worldโs future?
Raine stepped back once more and readjusted the bag on her shoulder. The danger reminded her of Mithos. People could be corrupted beyond recognition. It damages the people they left in their wake and Raine truly hoped that Marta could learn to forgive herself.
โOh, I know of the Otherworldly Gate all too well.โ This worried Raine. Now that the worlds were united it made sense that the portal no longer worked as it once did. To think that those ruins now led to Niflheim was hard to wrestle with. This was the place that changed her life forever. She would have a lot more questions about all of this later.ย โโฆI wish there was a way for our world to prosper without having the rely on such a fickle source of mana. To think that the roots reach that deepโฆโ Will the people of Aselia finally know stability? It pained her to think about.
Marta couldnโt stop herself from crying when Raine gave her a hug, tears welling over as guilt and anxiety mixed with a sort of relief deep in her chest. She could never take back what the Vanguard had done- but knowing that at least Raine didnโt hate her for it was... something. And maybe someday, sheโd manage to finally make up for all of the mistakes sheโd made with them.
โI... wish it hadnโt ended up the way it had... when the group started, the commander had only wanted peace. But... I guess, once he got power, his priorities... changed.โ Marta sighed, wiping at her tears and forcing herself to take a couple deep breaths.ย โItโs too late to regret what happened, though. Regrets wonโt change things.โ
She would stay determined, for the sake of everyone whoโd been impacted by their actions. She wouldnโt allow herself to falter now, after everything thatโd happened.
โOh, well... if anything, I can give you one bit of good news. Ratatosk said he was going to try to help the world, so that life wonโt be dependent on mana. I... didnโt really understand the details, but if it works out, then I think itโll help the new world tree.โ

โฟ ย ย ย ย โi was lucky to have my brother in my life. it was nice, but iโd imagine there are nice things about being an only child, no??โ martel chimes, putting a hand on each side of martaโs face to steer her look towards her reflection. really, itโd been a long time since she practiced her pleats and she was thoroughly impressed by her own muscle memory. thankfully, some styles were timeless.ย
โall done. i know iโve just said that youโre beautiful, butโฆ i simply must admire. you look like a princess. iโd love to have hair your color.โ she let go of martaโs face so she could have a moment to admire herself as martel ran a brush through her own hair. so long, it was a chore. โplease, have fun!! i want to see what a sylvaranti hairstyle might look like.โ
โAha... I suppose there are. My mother and father always wanted to dote on me growing up.โ That had taken a turn for the worse after the giant tree had attacked Palmacosta, but Marta would always hold on fondly to those happy memories when sheโd been a child. Before her father had changed, things had been nice- or at least, as nice as anything couldย be, with the Desians around.
โA-Ah... a princess, huh? Aha... I guess Iโm a bit of a weird girl- Iโve never really thought much about them.โ That wasnโt true at all, but she didnโt want to burden Martel with the truth of the matter. But... after her fatherโs obsession with the Sylvarant Dynasty, she certainly would never want to be a princess herself.ย โOh, Iโll do my best then! I can remember how my mother would do her hair, she always looked so pretty.โ

He would joke about how it was a nice face to have โ but he hardly knew the girl, so maybe joking wasnโt the best? โฆ Yet, at least. Heโd try to feel his way around that one over time.
โItโs alright, Miss Marta. Donโt worry about it, okay?โ He smiles softly at her.
โHmโฆ Exactly alike, though?โ He ponders it, a thoughtful expression on his face. What a strange phenomenon! Secret twins? That seemed highly unlikely. Cloning was unlikely as well, he probably would know.
Oohโฆ Maybe it was likeโ
โMaybe weโre doppelgangers? Iโve heard of that phenomenon before but never experienced it or seen any proof.โ
โRight, right.โ Marta smiled, shaking her head just a bit. The longer she looked at him, the more crazy this whole thing felt. Who wouldโve guessed that sheโd run into Asterย of all people?
โDoppelgangers? W-Well, uh... haha... maybe? That could certainly be one explanation!โ
Martaโs laugh was just a bit awkward as she spoke, hoping that she wasnโt giving anything away. A doppelganger wasย a reasonable enough explanation, though... right? It was certainly the simplest one, that avoided her needing to get into any sort of details about Emil.
โIโve heard that everyone has at least one person out there that looks just like them- maybe thatโs it, then. What a funny coincidence, huh?โ

He couldnโt help but notice the stunned expression on her face. Was she alright? Had he done something wrong? Aster was rather confused, admittedly, especially with the usage of the name she seems to have dropped.
His brow furrowed as he tried to think of what might be going on.
โEmil?โ A light tilt of the head. Someone who looked like him, maybe? Dropping the unaccepted hand to his side, he thought another moment. Ahโฆ Most likelyโฆ
โIs that someone you know? No, Iโmโฆ you mustโve mistaken me for them. My name is Aster.โ He shook his head a little bit. โAster Laker. Itโs nice to meet you either way, miss.โ
The thoughtful expression is quickly replaced by a small smile. Hopefully sheโs alright, at the very least. Heโd hate to have upset her somehow already!
โThatโs... you really do look justย alike.โ Marta pushed herself to her feet, looking closely at Aster. She knew well enough from what Richter had said that they shouldโve looked the same, but... they really did look the same. If it werenโt for his personality and the fact that he didnโt recognize her, she easily couldโve believed that he was just Emil.
โO-Oh, er- um- Iโm Marta. Marta Lualdi. Sorry, I just...โย
What was even the best way to explain this?ย โSorry, the guy who killed you stole your face and is also my best friend nowโย probably wasnโtย gonna cut it. Not to mention... he looked prettyย alive here, so she wanted to hope that he hadnโt... experienced that part.ย
โYou just look exactlyย like my friend Emil. Like, you two could be twins. I guess it just caught me off-guard.โ
She laughed, hoping that would be enough to cover up the half-truth. It wasnโt like she was even lying about that, because it wasย true. It just wasnโt the... wholeย truth.

@dualblossomspinnerโ | liked for a starter!
Really, in this kind of situation โ which was undeniably odd, he canโt argue with that โ what else would Aster be to do except take it in stride? Sure, he was suddenly in completely unfamiliar terrain, but that wasnโt exactly something he was completely not used to, given the nature of what he did. So of course, regardless of bearings, he wants to look around this place. Heโs excited, after all! Surely heโd be able to do something for others here, too.
Even though heโs wandered quite a bit from where he was prior, these types of thoughts continue in mind as he finds himself a bit too lost in thought โ thereby knocking both the girl in front of him and himself to the ground.
โOofโฆ Sorry about that, I was a bit distractedโฆโ
He let out a laugh, and offered a hand to the girl to assist her. โAre you alright? Again, sorry for knocking you over. Wonโt happen again!โ
Marta had been going about her day as normal, nothing terribly interesting about it, when... she thought she noticed someone. That blond hair, there was no wayย it could be anyone else- sheโd been so lost in her own thoughts that she wasnโt able to react in time before getting knocked to the ground. Apparently, theyโd bothย been lost in their own little worlds.
โOh, itโs fine Emil-โ She blinked when the boy offered a hand, staring at him a bit longer. He looked the same, yes, but.... Emil wasnโt quite so casual. Even though it was her, she could still imagine him fumbling to apologize.
โYou... no, thatโs not possible...โ
There was only one other person who looked like that. Not that sheโd ever metย him, but... still, she knew sheโd never mistake that face that Emil had shared. She knewย that this place was strange, that time never lined up quite properly, but... Asterย being pulled here? It felt... surreal to even think about, much less to be potentially looking at him in the flesh.

โโฆI think Iโm just super picky about guys.โ
โThatโs fine. Youโre pretty old, anyways.โ
gleamknightโ
โIโm not being rude, Iโm being honest!!!โ
โYou donโt even know him! Emil is the cutestย guy Iโve ever met.โ
gleamknightโ
โHEโS PROBABLY NOT EVEN CUTEโ
โDonโt be rude! Heโs SUPER cute! If he ever shows up here, Iโll show you!โ

โI heard only cuties were born in April~.โ
โHuh, I wonder if Emil was born in April too then?โ
โApril 4th!ย Everyone but Grimm is invited!โ
โOh huh, I didnโt know our birthdays were so close together! Whatโre the odds, huh?โ
