Last Jaunt we were missing about a dozen people - maybe some of you in your right minds noticed. When that happens, you figure, maybe we did something wrong. Probably they got dropped into a dungeon, or they went walkabout, or just vanished.

When they mostly come back wearing uniforms, though, I think maybe something stranger happened. And we should all catch up with what happened to each other, no?

So: who wants to start?

Well. I remember less than half that time. So, all I can say for sure is it hasn't happened in the last two years.

Lost your memory, did you darling?

[notinthecards]

We all did, homme.

[Hm, now this is interesting.] Everyone who was here at the time? How do you know you were here longer than that?

What came before isn't gone, mon ami. Just muddled. I remember a few conversations. Being told for the first time what the Trumps are, back when they called them the Champs, and this trip the World Series. When the dopplegangers and I realized the last of the older veterans were gone.

The details, the setting - all that's gone. But after that little Moebius holiday, I still had friends who had known me for years, I still knew my way around a Jaunt, I still remembered that my very first day here Monsieur Verreuil took a disliking to me for some reason, and that's something nobody else remembers.

It was quite the fais do do, so if nobody named Souji remembers it, that means they missed it, I think. We've been here the longest of anybody who's left.

[Well, that's a great deal of information with absolutely no reference. Hmm. Best to focus on one thing at a time.]

Doppelgangers?

Okita Souji and Toshizou Hijikata. It's been a long, long time since we had less than two of each.
