A simple meme. Post a comment describing a hypothetical meeting between the Save the Earth AU version of your character (IE the one in this game) and the original version (IE the one straight out of the TV show/book/game.) either with a description of their opinions or with an actually written out conversion.

Also, if you like, you can continue by way of tagging other people's posts, and threading out an encounter between your StE AU and their Original Flavor version. Or between your your Original Flavor and their StE AU.

"'Cause he's British, of course." That's all Fay really feels that he has to say on the subject, and he clearly feels that it explains everything that needs to be said. He beams, but it slides into a somewhat confused look after a moment or two. "You don't say? Well, wax my privates and call me Griselda, that sure is something. I mean, I guess in my line of work you kinda have to learn how to smile even when you're in a bad mood, and especially when you really want to sock someone in the mouth for being a creep, but... well, hiding my colours ain't never really been me, still. And if I tried to hide it when I was hurt, I'd just end up hurting the people I care about instead, and that's pretty durn backwards to my mind."

Yeah, this Fai is clearly different in a lot of ways. Now he shrugs loosely with a small grimace. "Yeah, we all do. And by 'all' I guess this group of people I'm a part of. We get all kinds of memories and abilities from... well, from the life we had before this one, I guess."

British? Shave his privates and call him what? Those comments alone are enough to leave Kurogane gobsmacked, but that is nothing compared to what he feels as Fay continues talking. He doesn't quite know how to react to this version who seems to have already managed to learn what it has taken Fai more than a lifetime to. And even with all that his still as annoying as ever and equally incapable of making sense. It just doesn't add up.

"Well, good. Shows you have a bit more sense at least. Not that it'd take much." In spite of the grumpy words it still doesn't take much to hear the underlying fondness in his voice. "Make sure not to change that."

And the whole remembering stuff from previous lives or whatever was still weird. And a bit disconcerting. There were several things in his past he didn't want anyone else to just randomly know about, even if was another him, and he knew he wasn't the only one in their group to feel that way. And to be honest, the thought of someone being able to access the memories that Fai had spent so much time and energy guarding without knowing the importance of them didn't sit right with him either. "Really? Can't say I've ever come across that before. Can't say I like the thought of someone having access to my memories just like that. So, what kind of stuff are you guys remembering? Apart from the stupid nickname stuff." Seriously, what the fuck was up with that?

Well, you just have to laugh at something like that. "Really? Most of my life I've heard I ain't got the sense god gave a dung beetle, but then again, like you said... maybe it don't take that much." Not that he knows much about this other version of him at all, save that he has a feeling he's not been very happy for a large part of his life.

He considers the question carefully, averting his eyes a bit. It had never really struck him that what was happening to them is a kind of invasion of privacy, but now that he thinks about it, he doesn't like it at all. "Well, I've remembered all sorts of things. Some things were harmless enough, about running a café and being in some kind of huge library, memories about people. Others were... less nice. Having my eye eaten, seeing two bodies underwater, a... tower." He shudders visibly. "Youou's gotten a mix too. He remembers a girl called Tomoyo, and this weird language, but he also remembers... ah, you killing a lot of people." Well, no sense in being bashful about it.
