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???]

Giles-san??

[And in a twist of events, it seems she does remember him. She's on a roll!]

Giles-san, you're so... You were definitely different, that's for sure. How did you...??

[YOU GOT SMALLER

I'M SO CONFUSED

DID I FORGET THAT TIME JUST MAGICALLY GOES BACKWARD?]

[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.

[!!! 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!

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.

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

[SOMEONE. UNDERSTANDS.]

Enormously. [Rather frustrating topic of conversation aside, Giles actually looks a little cheered up in a way he hasn't quite managed since arriving.] Less so here, of course, but back home...yes. There will be, um, problems to address.

But for now, it's just yet another reason that I'm happy to be back.

Well, I'm glad you're back, big or small.

If you'd like, you're always welcome to have some dango and tea! And that's not just because I enjoy giving the younger people snacks; I'm young and spry myself, you know!!

[Actually, accurate. She's barely pushing 30, likely, what with Kaji being a very young pregnancy.]

Thank you, Sayo. I will certainly try and take you up on that.

[...] Sooner rather than later, perhaps. [Because it's reasonably quiet around the place, right now, and that never ever lasts. That's not just a fact of Luceti. That's a fact of life.]

[She nods, smiling a bit wider.]

Sooner, for sure. Well, unless this place is as better off as they say.
