memoryboxes | 33rd Memory [Video]

[Sayo has been readjusting to... y'know, being here again, even though she feels as though she'd never left. That was pretty interesting. Raine had been very careful and helpful with her wording, but it's still a lot to wrap her head around, and she can't help but feel a number of things. Relief, maybe. Disappointment that she'd left people behind. Confusion at the change in her life, which was so centered on routine... She bites her lip and tries to remember how to use the journal, because even though she hasn't really lost memory of Luceti, she is still infected with a mushi that eats her memories. So. It's best that she make this post.]

Hello! You may remember me... if you were here a long time ago. My name is Sayo, and... I used to be a waitress here! And I'm hoping that it would be okay to be one again at the Seventh Heaven again, if that's alright... I know my notes probably aren't hanging up everywhere anymore, but I'm sure I can re-learn it! I'll give it my best shot!

[Hmmm. She tucks a lock of hair behind her ear. She still has a scar behind it; she still remembers what her husband has done; she's just... forgotten some of the other things.]

I'm also sorry if I don't recognize you. I have a memory... um, problem, where I lose a lot of important memories from day to day. That said — i-if anyone has anything I should know about this place, I would love to hear it, because I'm not sure how much I remember outside of a few faces and my old job here.

[A-ahaha... ha... She's trying to be light about it, okay.]

Like — [She hesitates, frowning and leaning in to speak more quietly, a little more anxious.] What are these things on my back?

[THEY ARE JUST HERE ON MY BACK AND THEY TWITCH A LOT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE? ARE THEY JACKED UP ARMS? HAVE WE ALWAYS HAD JACKED UP SECONDARY ARMS COVERED IN WEIRD HAIR???]

... Do you have memory problems, too?

Oh? What have you been up to, since we last met?

[SMALL TALK. INFORMATION GATHERING. EITHER/OR.]

A lot of sleeping, eating, and occasionally helping out at Seventh Heaven and the flower shop! [He's oh so helpful at giving out detailed information about things he doesn't want to talk about.]

Well maybe they thought that they couldn't fix stuff unless they like... fixed it before they needed to fix stuff...?

[ Wow, now he's confusing himself ]

Not like yours. And not so much anymore.

It's just...good advice. For anybody. You've got a perspective a lot of people lack.

[Yep. It's an issue that's come back in full force.]

Yes... do be g-gentle with them in general. They are... rather delicate organic structures.

Also, please do not attempt to f-fly, with them. It is not successful... [For many reasons.]

[Sokka is obviously flustered at this point, and his voice is certainly getting higher and higher in pitch as the conversation drags on.]

Birds... the flappy animals! They fly in the sky and are all covered in feathers.

[He says this as if it should already known and that maybe, just maybe, anyone who doesn't know it should feel bad about not knowing it.]

[NO, SAYO, YOU DID NOT FORGET ANYTHING THIS TIME.

THIS IS JUST NATURALLY PRETTY WEIRD, OKAY.

Admittedly, also a little cool. A lot of people are picking up on this pretty easily, all things considered. Giles had forgotten until now just how suited he'd been to Luceti and it's general background oddness, where occurrences like this could be expected.]

I died and came back...incorrectly. [His mouth draws into a grimace, though his usual irritation at the thought of his aunts is modulated by pleasant surprise. So after a second, Giles shrugs and adds:] Still. Better than the alternative, certainly.

[...................]

[SYSTEM FAILED.]

I'm... not so sure I can wrap my head around this...

[!!! She makes the most huffy and discontent expression.]

They didn't do this to you out of spite, did they?? I thought they were better now!

Flappy.... Feathers...? Feathers are — what, exactly? These parts here?

[Sokka I am sorry brah.]

... I suppose I must have just forgot about birds today!

Oh! Those are both wonderful places to work.

And it's good to keep busy here, isn't it? Ah — but what do you sell at this... flower shop?

[spoilers what the hell are flowers]

[o-oh, stop it, you]

You think so? A perspective? I — suppose I do! It's not common for people to have such a hard time remembering things, I guess!

Fly... Fly... What is flying, again?

It feels familiar...

[~~Are you really? Are you really sorry?~~]

Did you just— Really you've forgotten—

That's it! I give up!

[ ........ ] I... think I just confused myself, anyway.

... Flying is... a s-sort of movement, through the air. Some beings are... capable of powered f-flight; many birds, for instance.

But our wings here in L-Luceti are... inadequate for flight. [Very, very inadequate.]

So everyone keeps telling me. I really would love to know just what evidence you all are drawing on.

[Giles suffered through one too many experiments and kidnappings to take news of the Malnosso's improvement with anything but personal experience.

But that aside:] And, um, no. This wasn't the Malnosso. This is just...well, what I am now. An old man in my old body.

Ah, we sell mostly flowers but some other plants too. Potted and cut ones. [Although he makes Raine cut any ordered flowers. He really doesn't like filling those orders.] We also take care of the plants there to make sure they grow up healthy.

[With his experience with being forgotten so he can't help but ask.]

You do know what flowers are... right?

Well, that's no way to handle things, just giving up!

Are you really getting so worked up over someone else's poor memory?

... I think we're probably not cut out for this time traveling business.

But — what's important is now, right? And you've all apparently done it! Everything seems so much lighter and easier to handle now!

... Incredible; I would have never guessed that anything can move through the air like that...

--Yeah! Yeah, hopefully! It was pretty confusing and the spirit stuff was creepy, but John promised it would fix stuff!

[ and he trusted John. He had to - he obeyed his command to give the journal to Romayo in good faith. He had to believe that this was rewarded. ]

... That must be very frustrating, looking younger than you are...
