[ me sweating in work. anyway. here is lu bixing!!! he is... in the common room, sitting on a couch, leaning back with his eyes closed and. probably just disassociating, honestly. he's only really alerted because sweet popcorn is in his lap, and the sight of another person makes him jump and start trying to climb up lu bixing's shirt.
he opens his eyes as he does, spots date - and then gives him a little smile. ]
[ this week has just been everyone's work sniping them.... send help to us. and yeah!!! good job on disassociating sir, it's great for... something. probably. sleeping with your eyes closed? startling people when you snap back to reality? all kinds of things.
goodbye popcorn. ]
Do I want to be asking why you were slightly on fire in the first place, or is that just a symptom of wherever you went?
[ he glances at... well. roughly the area that popcorn vanished to. ] Are they doing any better with being surrounded by people?
I think it was just bad timing - the lava and trying to keep Ryo out of it.
[ ryo your depth perception. he sort of wiggles a little bit as popcorn hides, wrapping around lu bixing's waist and dipping behind him, and then shakes his head. ]
For him? A little. He's at least out and about instead of hiding. [ maybe he could just tell dad needed comfort. ]
...It was some kind of time dilation. I guess the ship we were in might've been in a pocket dimension in a wormhole. [ lu bixing this is not science that makes sense to any other person.
it's fine, though. he gently strokes a hand over the top of popcorn's head - the snake finally peeks out at date, just a little. ] For us, it was only a few minutes.
If you travel close to the speed of light, you experience a phenomenon known as time dilation. Within a wormhole, the greater your motion through space, the less your motion through time. The people outside of the wormhole might see three months pass, while the people within might only feel five minutes. Since we were traveling through space-time anyway, it's not unimaginable that we might have been inside of a wormhole, while in that moment, Ryo was outside of it.
Well, spaceships do that normally if they're in a wormhole.
[ duh?
but he will rewind a bit - ] ...but, let me start at the beginning. We were all more or less compelled to get on a ferry that took us out to a little island. By the time we all knew what was happening, the ferry was gone, and all that was there was a box we were supposed to put our hands in. It was that or leap into the lava, so... we did.
We all knocked out, and then when we awoke, we were on a spaceship.

Pretty quickly, between Eto and Lin. I'm okay.

Akira said something about him not eating for seven days. [ date watching as popcorn just. does his thinking. wiggling and hiding and dipping. ]
A little's something.

A... time dilation? So different speeds of time, basically.

Let's rewind to the part where you were travelling through space time. How? And why? And again, how?

[ the description how they all went missing though? that he can understand. sort of. ]
So. In the middle of hell, you were mind controlled into a different destination... then teleported to space. Hell space?
