Everyone knows the feeling of when you see someone and you know you've seen them before. Isn't that a part of déjà vu? But what if the connection you have with that person goes beyond the superficial recognition of familiarity? Perhaps you were connected once...in the most intimate of ways. Some religions and philosophies believe in reincarnation of souls, and it's said that souls could be reincarnated together - once again to follow out the same path they did before.
Or maybe not. Maybe it could be a second chance for fixing things that went wrong before, like the a tragedy or circumstances keeping you apart. But can you take that chance? Do you even want to?
HOW TO PLAY- Comment with your character, stating preferences and pertinent information.
- Tag around to others and roll the RNG to determine what your scenario will be.
- The first roll determines the parameters of the "past life," the second the parameters of the "present life." The meme is intended to take place in the present, but there's nothing stopping you from playing out flashbacks to the "past."
- Play out the scene!
- WARNING: There will probably be triggers here.
| | A. THE PAST- Medieval: The two of you lived in the middle ages or an equal high fantasy setting. Kings, queens, knights, wizards, your doomed love was set among the sword and shield.
- Feudal Japan: During this time, honor reigned supreme and warriors lived and died by the sword. Perhaps the two of you lived here?
- War: World War I, World War II, World War...III? Whatever the tension was, the two of you weren't living in happy times.
- Not Human: You were gods, demons, monsters, angels - or at least one of you was.
- Sci-Fi: The two of you found love in a world of science and technology...maybe a base on the moon?
- Taboo: In a past life, the two of you were related, yet still somehow fell in love. Or perhaps there was a big age gap, or different social standings. Whatever it was, your affection was "wrong," somehow.
- Intended for Someone Else: One of you was engaged, intended, or taken by someone else.
- Not Allowed: For some reason, you couldn't have your love back then.
- Tragically Cut Short: Somehow, your love ended in tragedy and one of you died.
- Living Happily Ever After: The two of you grew old together, had a family, the whole shebang, and died of old age. As a reward, you get to be with your loved one again.
- WILDCARD or CHOOSE YOUR OWN
B. THE PRESENT- (Not So) First Meeting: You could swear you've seen this person before...but where?
- Need to Be Near You: You don't know why, but you have to be close to this person, to protect them, to love them.
- Memories: You're having memories of your past life and it's freaking you out.
- The Reveal: Somehow, the truth is revealed to you about who you used to be and what you life was like with this person.
- But I'm Taken: Unfortunately, you've already moved on to someone else who doesn't fit into the picture of your past.
- You Have to Be With Me: You're determined to rejoin with your past lover...even if they're not interested.
- He Doesn't See Me: You're afraid your lover only sees the past "you" and not the you who exists now. Are they in love with a memory?
- Madness Ensues: It's getting hard for you to tell which life is the "real" one, the one you have now or the one in the past. Perhaps you only see one way of release: becoming reincarnated again.
- It All Worked Out: The battles are fought, the war is one. You've earned your happy ending in this life and the two of you can live together.
- WILDCARD or CHOOSE YOUR OWN

Since the first time she'd encountered the boy regarded by so many youkai as the reincarnation of Kurama, her curiosity had been gnawing at her. More than curiosity at a riddle, though, this is personal. She'd known Kurama, many years ago, and though it had been a long time since their paths last crossed, things were and had always been... complicated between them. How exactly could this boy she'd known as a schoolboy be Kurama? What had happened to him? Who is he, now, underneath the young human body?
Questions she couldn't very well just drop in his lap and expect answers. After all, kitsune are often just as evasive, wary, and
brattycapricious as they are curious, and she knows it about as well as anyone could. It calls for studying him carefully before taking the risk of exposing herself. Fortunately, gaining a sense of his routines wasn't terribly difficult for her with a little caution. Well enough at least to know when to keep an eye out for him and spring her ambush....so to speak. It's really nothing so dramatic, just "incidentally" encountering him in a quiet area of a city park he frequents. Thinking of it as an ambush certainly makes it a lot more fun than admitting that she's just warily contriving to meet an old acquaintance, though.
"...ah! I'm sorry, but--is that Minamino-san..?"
She smiles daintily behind a raised hand, ladylike but bright-eyed and vibrant as ever, her expression mixing surprise (pleasant surprise) with tentative curiosity. It's been at least a year or two since she saw him last (at least, in her human identity), but even if she hadn't known about his double identity, she'd have recognized him. He's pretty memorable, after all. Would he remember her, though? She'd been in a younger class back then, and she's still not sure exactly what the connection between Kurama and Shuuichi Minamino is.
"Ara... I don't know if you remember me..."

He remembered her though, of course he did. There had always been something about her that made her stick out, and not in the way Maya did - a human with spiritual awareness. Something was familiar here in a way that it had never been before, just at the peripheral of his awareness, a feeling that there was more to her. That maybe she was closer to him than their human classmates, that knowing her wouldn't endanger her as it might the rest of them.
It had his interest, if nothing else, a curiosity he'd never had the time to explore adequately before Hiei upended his entire life onto a different trajectory.
Kurama hadn't been aware that she was observing him, waiting to spring this attack, so to speak. His surprise is genuine when she approaches, offering a disarming smile to cover the slight unease at being caught off-guard, as he was.
"You've caught me red-handed." He'll play it off innocent enough, at the sound of his name, his human name. The light smile only spreads, as a human he'd have no reason to remember her quite as well as he did and he uses that to his advantage.
"Ah, yes- although you'll have to forgive me, as you have me at a bit of a disadvantage. It has been a few years, seems I've forgotten your name."
no subject
She puts on an (obviously) affected tone of slighted vanity, but smiles underneath it with a hint of mischief, apparently just as cheerfully playful as he'd remember. How can she resist the opportunity to tease him at least a little?
"It's Hiroe. Matsudaira."
