[Ouni doesn’t come out of his cabin for a few days after he wakes up in his own — body? Reality? He doesn’t know what to call it. All he knows is that his other self had used its ability to kill. Its desperation had translated itself into something too close to his real experiences.
He stays in his cabin for a few days, trying to sort through the mirrored memories. When they don’t become anything that makes sense, he decides to try to do something about problem he can see. He opens his communicator and goes through the Network records until he finds the other magician’s name.]
if you want to see my ability, i can show you. i live in 501.
[He doesn’t want to do this. But it will pull him back to reality and pass the time until whatever is wrong with his memories goes away.]
Ouni’s cabin is mostly bare. The place he used to call home has adapted to fit the Barge, but is unchanged other than that.
By the time he opens the door, his aura is already hovering in the air next to him, fragments of the symbol scattered across his skin like tattoos. He doesn’t like the feeling of it hanging unattached to an object, but feeling it connected to his body is all he needs.
"Hello," Erskine says. He doesn't see a reason to be impolite. The cabin strikes him as pretty depressing - which doesn't strike him as surprising.
He takes in Ouni's aura, fascinated. "I take it this is what you wanted to show me?" He thinks it's beautiful, though he keeps that to himself, at least for the moment.
