30th Memory [Action]

[memoryboxes]

Day 1

[Sayo's laying in a clearing, donning her usual kimono, feeling a little worn - but at least she's back ... Back from where, again? She rubs her forehead, trying to think of why she's glad to be here again. Um. Did she go wandering outside again and fall asleep? With a sigh she starts trekking back home, confused... and a little worried, because she's pretty sure she doesn't sleep, so...

Before she gets up to go, a long shadowy creature (she and normal people can't see, unfortunately) crawls from her ear down into the forest. But of course it dies quickly without her sustaining it. Running into her? Be prepared for a few problems. Mainly, that when she smiles or laughs, she teleports.

She really likes to smile.]

Day 2 - 5

[Must not smile. Must not smile. Must not smile.

Sayo's back from her mallynap. Which she just re-learned about yesterday. Sob. She's going to the restaurant to help out, and she's at the tea shop, but you'll notice she's been trying to remain very stony-faced and determined. This is because if she doesn't, you may never get your tea. It may end up in someone's house. Must be careful. Cautious. Yes.]

Here you go...

[P o k e r f a c e, as she delivers your order. You're welcome. Okaybye.]

Day 6 - 10



[Well, the teleporting problem is over. But now she's short. Short and like... five years old again. She's walking through the town wrapped in a white kimono way too big for her, looking very confused. Maybe get this kid some proper clothes. Eventually in the week, she'll be all settled somewhere - but she never, ever stays in place when told, so she's wandering around the town looking into all these new and interesting things. She may give in to her curiosity and look through your windows into your homes. She may be messing with something on your lawn. Flower bed? Gnome? Switchblades? Whatcha' got on the lawn for me to poke around?

By the end of the day she's standing in front of the item shop, holding one of these, which is unfortunately missing the ball and string. Stupid thrift shop devices.

More importantly, she's trying to figure out what the hell it does. If you're walking by, you'll notice a thought bubble over her head, flashing images as she stares down this thing:



... Yeah, she has no clue.]

((OOC: Catch her any time! Just lemme know when. I'll be using whatsanything for bitty Sayo! Also, this post might be image heavy, or at least will have images in the comments.))

Comments

[whatsanything]

Oh!!

...

What's 'sick' mean?

[memoryboxes]

Y-yes...

[O-oh goodness... She slowly reaches up... and paffs her hand right on top of his head, where there's blue fire. Nothing's happening. What is this trickery...]

Day 2

[memoryboxes]

[Oh how considerate; you're making her feel way guilty about not smiling.]

Oh, I definitely will—I mean, I always have plenty of energy, but if I ever feel tired I'll rest. It'd be more stressful for my coworkers that I'm here and tired than away.

[Bites her lip, because oh. This is like trying not to breathe.]

[whatsanything]

Oh! So the wind can move it with its hands...!

That's really smart to do...

[justicefluers]

Right. It comes in handy, especially the bigger versions.

[rashness]

H-hey, what are you doing?!

[That's dangerous! He flinches back from her. But it isn't going to do much more than be pleasantly warm]

[imatreenow]

It means she doesn't feel well, and if we go see her, we might start feeling unwell too.

Day 2

[consultsdetective]

Right. Good to know that you know. [ And he will check in if he deems it necessary. The world is his responsibility.

wow god fine he'll just take up the smiling slack for both of them. ] Er. Mostly just in for a cuppa today, if the kettle's still in the picture.

[ He should probably. Let her do her job at work. Whoops. ]

[whatsanything]

... Bigger ones? How much taller do they get?

[memoryboxes]

Nothing! I mean, you're—

Isn't that... fire? You're on fire!!

[justicefluers]

Bigger than a house. People ride in them to get across the ocean.

[rashness]

[Blue fire, even]

Yeah, but they're my flames!

[whatsanything]

Okay! I don't want us to get sick, then.

...Can we still eat sandwiches?

[whatsanything]

Ocean! That's the water that goes on for a very long time!

[She remembers that from the last time she was here--they even explained how water kills you if it covers you a lot. It was groovy.]

Is it nice? Riding on ships?

Day 2

[memoryboxes]

[She looks up and smiles and oh god what has she done]

I can make—

[POOF.

Did you hear a shriek and a splash? No? That's because she's in the fountain in the middle of the plaza, down the road. Whoops. Did you say something about a kettle? She'll get back to that in a sec.]

[memoryboxes]

[A deep frown at that, as her hand hovers worriedly in front of her.]

It doesn't hurt, does it?

I've burnt my hand before—it doesn't usually feel like nothing...

Day 4

[seesmagic]

[As the week has passed, Jilly has become more and more curious about the village at large. Today, her explorations have brought her out to the town center and Seventh Heaven...a detour that had been necessary once she'd caught the scent of food. Jon had been wonderful about leaving food in the fridge for her, of course, but that was all the way back at House 7...and this just smelled so good.

She's not planning on asking for anything...or so she tells herself...but with pure, nine-year-old logic, she figures it won't hurt just to look inside.

...Restaurants weren't really a part of her day-to-day life, back home]

[imatreenow]

Sandwiches...? [huh what um okay] Sure, if you want to. We can go back to my house and make some.

[justicefluers]

Yes, it is. [Nods Robin's head in approval for her remembering.]

I love sailing, yes. It's not as good as riding a motorcycle, but you even sail a ship through storms or longer distances, so there are a lot of great things about it.

[rashness]

'Cus they're mine. Flames of my soul or... heart or something. Point is, I can control what they burn.

[In fact where's the scabbard? He dropped it before, so it should be here somewhere so he can get back in human form]

Day 4

[memoryboxes]

[Ah! Cute little kid, coming into the restaurant!

Put on your game face, Sayo. Don't smile. Don't even think of smiles.]

Oh, hello there. Can I help you with anything?

[someone put me out of my misery :|]

[whatsanything]

[There's an excited bubble over her head with a sandwich in it, because hell yes, sandwiches. One of the few foods she knows.]

Which way do I move? Let's go!

[whatsanything]

[I am interested now. Hope you're happy.]

What other kinds of things do you do with boats?

[memoryboxes]

Ah... I see....

[Staaaare.]

I'm glad it's not painful, at least. What's a soul? O-or a heart...?

Still in his demon form but expression

[rashness]

-You don't know what either of those are?

[W...what. He actually stops in his search for that]
