If anyone here knows or knew Daniel Jackson -

he's back. I'm back.

Sort of, anyway. I'm sorry if I can't remember who you are. My memory's apparently not what it used to be.

You told me a while beforehand that you were going to look for a way out. I guess maybe you found it.

[peacefulexplorer]

Guess so. would've been nice to know it would leave me completely scrambled in the memories department.

[singthesong]

You thought the Rift would get mad about it. Though Rush said it had happened before, so I guess that's just how descending works?

I'm glad you're getting better at least.

[peacefulexplorer]

yeah. He said usually stuff just returns on its own, but I might not ever remember what I did while I was ascended in the first place.

then again, he did say he's never actually done it. Just me. So I don't know.

[singthesong]

He did mention that. Like you made a habit of it.

I don't know too much about what you did like that. You were having trouble sticking in time and being visible, so you just appeared out of nowhere every now and then.

[peacefulexplorer]

I guess that would make sense, considering what I was. that doesn't sound very reliable. I hope I didn't startle anyone.

[singthesong]

Couldn't say. I usually heard you coming before I saw you.

[peacefulexplorer]

heard? did I make noise?

[singthesong]

No, I just hear people.

Sorry - I told you that, but you were ascended at the time. You called it an extrasensory thing.

[peacefulexplorer]

huh. have you always been able to?

[singthesong]

Yep, it's not a Rift thing. Some people DO get random powers from that.

[peacefulexplorer]

so I've heard, yeah. not sure if I have any or not, other than the ascending thing. Ascension might've uh, rewritten my genetic structure? or so Nick says.

[singthesong]

Rewritten it how?

[peacefulexplorer]

Nick said I wasn't completely human before. ascension always leaves behind a kind of fingerprint? sometimes trace stuff gets left behind.

[singthesong]

Huh. Weird.

Doesn't seem like a bad thing, anyway. As long as you aren't hopping through time and space against your will!

[peacefulexplorer]

Isn't that kind of disturbingly common here?

[singthesong]

Not really! Just the once, to come here in the first place.

[Unlike many people, one unwilling trip through time and space doesn't seem like all that many to him? It's been months since then and it hasn't happened again!]

[peacefulexplorer]

and again if you're made to leave again. I've been told that happens sometimes.

[singthesong]

That's true. I'm not sure how often.

[Seth's the only person he's ever really heard of it happening to.]

[peacefulexplorer]

yeah. Me neither.

I guess for now I'm just happy I'm back.

[Sort of. He doesn't really know how to feel.]

[singthesong]

Yeah, I'm glad you made it!

[His feelings are much less complicated! 8D]

[peacefulexplorer]

Thanks.
