That's the question, isn't it? Either way, it's an awfully strange coincidence.

Do you recall what your name was in this other world?

[kittycaterer]

the couple times ive heard someone call out to me, it's been noctis
so
i guess?
my full name is noctis lucis caelum here
thats weirdly specific

[ WHAT THE FUCK? ]

[daemonized]

[What the actual fuck.]

Your middle name is "Lucis"? Really?

[kittycaterer]

really
what the hell?

[ What the actual, real fucking fuck. ]

[daemonized]

[Just what. Okay.

Give him a moment.]







How?

[The useles exchange of dumbfounded questions continue as a brain reset happens.]

[kittycaterer]

like i know?
my family is practically nonexistent its just me and my old man

[ What the fuck is happening?!?! ]

[daemonized]

But, no, not

[Not this life, is what he wants to say, but then again, why is Noctis still sporting a name like Lucis Caelum around in this reality anyway? That didn't make much logical sense, for a family line to have continued into a different world. Or is this another baffling example of alternate universes?

But here he thought that the prevailing theory was "reconstruction" these days?

It's enough to cut off his text, accidentally sending it early. Very unlike Ardyn. He tries again.]

What I mean to say is that I am definitely an Izunia. I can draw up a family tree for you. I'm fairly certain we've never carried the name "Lucis Caelum" at all.

Though what this means for the /past/ us is what I truly wonder about. If we were related, we were not very close.

[And. And. Ardyn wanted to hurt him? What the fuck. This realization hits him again, and he's glad this is text, because he'd have gone silent otherwise.]

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis notices the break in Ardyn's text, and while they still have a lot to learn about one-another? He knows Ardyn to be well-spoken with clear and concise thought.

Meanwhile, he's sitting on his couch scrolling to the top of their conversation. Reading over "Ardyn Lucis Caelum" a good twelve times to try and rouse up a memory to explain it. Something. Because this doesn't make sense, and it just makes this situation all the more strange.

that's assuming it was a past life and not an alternate universe
you remember more about me than i do about you
so i cant gauge
this is weird

[daemonized]

[Clear and concise thought is not something that escapes Ardyn very often. It isn't merely by habit, but a natural inclination to be eloquent (even if that means he sounds like he came out of a Shakespearean play) and well-spoken. Yes, he's human, but the slip of a text sending early is just indicative of how jarring this is.

At least he's not alone in that.]

I actually don't remember that much about you. Other than you wore all black, that you looked upon me with confusion, and that I threw you that coin I mentioned earlier. It was no warm, heartfelt reunion among family members.

[kittycaterer]

huh
maybe we didnt know then either
just a guess

[daemonized]

I think I'm inclined to agree with you.

I wonder if we got to know each other much better over time.

[kittycaterer]

can only take a guess at this point
man
this is weird

[daemonized]

Yes. I agree.

We'll find out more in time, I suppose. Until then... well. Should I start treating you like family, I wonder?

[That is...mostly a joke.]
