You know...

[It may be a voice some haven't heard for a while... because, well, obviously he was Infiltrating all this time. But maybe you're partying with pirates or so on after everyone's gotten on the island when you hear this.]

...for once in my life, I'd like a normal tropical vacation. First it was bears an' crazy robots an' killing and now it's pirates and krakens an' me bein' a mermaid or Thalassian or whatever all this time... Which is weird, oi, and I don't got my normal legs back completely. And my body's still sore from that stupid squid flingin' me around. Tch.

[It'll be fine by the time they leave this place, right...? He hopes so. But there's a thread of that uncertainty in the mental tone of voice. He shakes it off in favour of excitement, though.]

But this is a good end, yeah?! We did an all right job?!

Hey, someone should get me a coconut, by the way. I seriously wanna eat one before we get dragged outta this place. An' it ain't easy to try and climb trees with these legs.

[And, in a quieter mental aside:] Is it seriously okay to hang around with pirates...? It'll be fine, right...?

I wasn't yellin'! This is a normal indoor-- uh-- in... head... [????] volume.

[Yeah, that's it exactly. Yep, indeed. But hey Yuri, what's up.] S'good to be back, though. Man, I thought and said some seriously weird stuff for a while.

i'm sorry i'm always so slow and late...

[fatalstriker]

If that's your normal volume, I'm pretty sure I don't want to know what your yelling is like.

[he can't help but toss out the teasing, snide remark. because seriously, souda! volume control! still...]

Yeah, I believe it. I said and thought a lot of weird stuff myself when they screwed with my memories too. Pretty sure that's just the way it goes when it all starts coming back.

aheh it's all good

[adjustable]

Tch, I'll yell at you later, just for that!

[But okay okay he'll be good and stop bein all bluff and bluster to a bit of teasing.]

Do they stick with you? These memories and... feelings, I guess.

[fatalstriker]

Don't know what it's like for everyone else. For me? Yeah. It gets a little less... weird, after a while, though. [mostly after sorting out any funny business with other people, but yuri's pretty sure that could go without saying at this point.]

[adjustable]

Really?! You ever, uh... forget any of the stuff?

[Or is it with you, forever... that being said, Souda doesn't really want to forget everything that happened. It wasn't all bad and/or traumatising.

Except where he wanted to eat people. And eat mermaids. And ate dolphins.]

[fatalstriker]

Not yet... I dunno if this place will mess with that later, but it's all still pretty clear to me now.

[granted, yuri doesn't really have that much regret about what happened during that jaunt. aside from being a little too flirtatious for his liking, not much else was different in terms of his behavior. the only real dissonance comes from the conflicting memories about his relationships with other people, but it's largely been okay after dealing with the inital awkwardness.]
