[Action] When alternate universes make you uneasy

[rebellingheart]

[Rinoa is sitting under a tree on the quad, staring at what looks like a newspaper clipping with a bemused look on her face. Because this article and that picture just can't be real. They just can't.]

What do you think Angelo. Should I read it again?

[Rinoa turns to look at her faithful dog for advice. When Angelo just huffs and settles back down she takes that as a sign to read the caption out loud again.]

Celebrated First Lieutenant Rinoa Caraway receiving her promotion upon successfully apprehending the Commander of the SeeD terrorists, Squall Leonhart, and his companions?

[She sighs and glances down at Angelo again, though it's obvious the clipping is bothering her.]

You know this could never happen, right girl? I'm not even in the Galbadian military! And I'd never do this to Squall or the others...I know just what Galbadia does to people who stand in their way.

[Zone and Watts did a good job making sure that's one lesson their princes would never forget.]

[Scene 1 / action / backdated to Jan 1st]

[Nepeta was currently in the cafeteria, but pretty much all the food on her tray was untouched. Like many others, Nepeta had received a strange item in her dorm. It was a photograph. Nothing unusual, and yet so very, very unusual due to what it contained. It was a picture of her, Equius, and Vriska. Familiar faces, yet so very unfamiliar.

For starters, she had gills. Gills, belonged only to sea dwellers. She had been staring at herself for quite some time now. It was not the only shocking thing, because it wasn't simply a matter of her being a sea dweller, but if the color of her symbol on the clothing she wore was any indication...

It was Tyrian. Vriska, was yellow. And Equius, oh boy. He might just have a hernia if he ever saw this picture because he was red. Bright red. It was a little shocking to see him wearing it--how had he not been culled? She wondered what Karkat would make of this too. They were all older, roughly two sweeps it looked, and yet even though he was so low on the hemospectrum, he looked happier than she had ever seen him. The picture in full: she was walking a bit ahead of them. Her clothes were fairly simple, colorful much like Feferis, but unlike her she did not wear as much jewelery. She had a thoughtful expression on her face and seemed to have been speaking, pointing off to something that could not be seen.

Behind her walked Equius and Vriska. The both of them were wearing uniforms of some sort, and while their symbols were still present, in their breast pocket was her own. Strangest of all, perhaps, was that they were holding hands and sharing a secretive look.

Nepeta knew that Equius and Vriska got along pretty well, having grown up together but she never would have thought of them being in a quadrant together. Yet there was just something so natural and blissful about the way they looked that she couldn't help but wonder. That wasn't the only thing, written on the back of the picture in her own handwriting was a letter]

( Letter behind cut )

[The quirk was different, and the color of course, but it was definitely her handwriting.]

Scene 2 / video / today

[The feed turns on to show a rather excited looking Nepeta sporting a blue hat. It was her trademark hat--the one she always use to wear back home. She had always adored that hat and felt it to be something akin to a security blanket. She had given it to Equius before the whole incident with Gamzee had gone down, and she had been brought here so she had been without it for so long.]

Look! I woke up today and my hat was here. I don't know how--it was left back home when I was brought here but now it's back! [She giggles, and tugs it down so that it covers her eyes]

Did anyone else get anything?
