Yeah I've been here for almost 2 years and I think the worst thing that's happened was a couple of months ago when people's powers started switching around.

Oh and the time when all the zoo animals escaped. That was pretty wild. No pun intended.

How did that happen? The powers switching. That doesn't seem like a run of the mill problem.

A bunch of people were having sex outside by the Jade Shrine because of some stupid rumor about it helping more with fulfilling your incentive and long story short it made the spirits at the shrine go a little crazy.

Wow. That's pretty insane. I've noticed this place is pretty big on rituals. Did everything go back to normal in the end?

Yeah I think so. I wasn't one of the people affected by it so it was a lot easier to just ignore.

Do you maybe wanna grab dinner or something? There's some stuff we should talk about but it's probably better to do it in person instead of over text.

Yeah, definitely. I have no idea what the good spots are around here, so you should probably pick where we go.

Ok is an hour from now good for you?

[ He will include the address to Red's in this text message as well. ]

Sounds perfect!

[ooc: Action/log/something else/handwave?]

Cool I'll see you then.

[ooc: i'm good with whatever! do you have a preference?]

A log or action spam would work nice. Whichever one you'd be more comfortable with is fine with me! I'd just like to have something to reference when it comes to Allison finding out about her death, no matter how simple it might be.

[ Isaac leaves the house early, taking the slow meandering route through town to try and gather his thoughts.

This is a different Red than the one who used to manage the diner where Isaac worked. Like with Allison, it doesn't matter that she doesn't remember her previous time here or their friendship; it's enough to know she's happy and doing just as well for herself. Unlike Allison, however, Red isn't going to recognize him and seek him out of her own accord. That's what makes things tricky. There's only so long he can avoid seeing Allison without it being weird or suspicious which is why he just decided to tackle things head on. Of course it doesn't help that Allison's reactions to the news of her death have been pretty varied thus far so Isaac isn't entirely sure what to expect with this version of her. She clearly doesn't know though whereas the last one did... It's another reason why he decided to take it upon himself to be the one to break the news this time. Lydia had been pretty torn up about the whole thing and he doesn't want to make her go through something traumatic like that again.

Isaac takes a seat outside in the small patio area so that he'll spot Allison right away when she arrives. ]

[ No, Allison doesn’t know that mere minutes after the moment she was brought to Eudio she is supposed to die, but she does have a sneaking suspicion there is something extremely heavy that Isaac want to talk to her about. It nibbles away at her mind as she walks to the address he gave her, itching at her brain. Nevertheless, she remains in a good mood. Eudio has been good for her so far. It’s a good environment and everyone has been friendly to her. There’s no reason for her to be unhappy, yet.

She strides up to Red’s and spots Isaac immediately. Seeing him is more of a relief than she thought it would be. He’s the first person from home that she’s met up with, so far. Her lips curl into a smile. ]

Hey.

[ Sliding a chair out, Allison takes a seat across from him. ]

I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long.

Nah.

[ Despite what he's brought her here to tell her, Isaac can't help but to grin a bit as Allison sits down across from him, filled with a familiar, happy warmth at the sight of her. ]

You hungry at all? [ He slides over the menu, which he had just finished perusing. ]

[ She takes the menu, eyes scanning over the items listed on it. Everything sounds good. ]

I’m a little hungry… [ Allison sets the menu down. ] I could go for a grilled cheese, but I have a feeling you wanted to talk about something?

[ It’s just a feeling, but she likes to think she knows Isaac pretty well. She’s still smiling as she looks at him expectantly. ]

[ The corner of Isaac's mouth upturns a bit sadly. Of course Allison has always been good at sussing out his moods. ]

Yeah but it might put you off your appetite. [ He sighs a bit defeatedly. This is going to be difficult even with the best of intentions in mind. ]

[ Her eyebrows wrinkle together. That sounds bad. ]

I can eat later. [ She looks concerned, for herself and for Isaac. ] What is it, Isaac? What's wrong?

[ Isaac sighs again, even more heavily this time. He glances away for a moment and then forces his gaze back at her, his own brows furrowing. ]

Look -- there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna -- [ He makes a noise of obvious frustration at himself. ]

Back at home. You died. There was nothing any of us could do to stop it. That's part of why I'm even here.

[ Her breath catches in her throat. For some reason it makes sense. Sometimes in a movie after the big revelation one can look back and see little signs pointing towards it. That's sort of what's going on in Allison's mind right now. ]

Wow. I didn't expect it then, but I guess it makes sense.

[ She pauses a second. ]

Is everyone else okay?

[ Isaac watches anxiously from across the table as Allison begins to process this information. His eyes are a bit watery with unshed tears and he's back to studiously avoiding looking at her. ]

Yeah. I think so. Lydia is -- she's here too. She's the furthest out of all of us.

[ He clears his throat. ]

I guess -- there's something else you should probably know.

[ Allison frowns sympathetically and reaches across the table to hold Isaac's hand. Whatever he has to say seems difficult. ]

Okay.

[ She nods, taking a moment to prepare herself for whatever it is he has to say. ]

What is it?

[ The most difficult part is already over. This next part is just mildly awkward but hiding it didn't work out so good in the past. He even sounds a bit sheepish when he admits: ]

Uh, well. Lydia and I. We were sort of... dating. Here. For awhile.

[ Her eyelids flutter slightly, but otherwise she shows no reaction. It's funny that this piece of news is a bigger surprise than her own death. ]

Oh. Okay.

[ She swallows and nods slowly, trying to take the news as well as she can. It is hard to hear that someone she was sort of with was dating her best friend, but the circumstances aren't that simple. ]

I get it. I died.

Actually, when I first came here I was from really far in the past. I didn't know. I mean, Lydia told me but that's not the same as actually living it.

I don't think either of us ever meant for it to get so serious.

Anyway it doesn't matter. It's over now. [ Isaac doesn't intend to sound so hurt about it. He gives Allison's hand a light squeeze. ]

But I didn't want you to think I, we, were keeping secrets from you.

[ That makes more sense, she supposes. Allison nods, frowning slightly in sympathy. It still feels a little weird, but Isaac and Lydia are important to her in any world. She'll be there for them regardless of what might have transpired. ]

It's okay. I'm glad that you told me.

[ There's the ghost of a smile on her lips. ]

Thanks, Isaac.

[ It couldn't have been easy to tell her any of it. Maybe it was even as difficult to deliver the news as it was to receive it. Allison holds onto his hand thinking about this. ]

[ Her smile is immeasurably comforting to him. He ends up just nodding, falling silent for a few moments as they continue to hold hands across the table. ]

I really am glad you're here.
