1st Memory [Video]

[memoryboxes]

[It's midnight, but it'll take her a minute to note this. There's a drawn-out yawn, and the grunting of someone doing their usual morning stretch. And in the dark, an outline of a woman appears, in the usual Luceti New Feather garb. She touches her cheek, confused, unable to really see the book in the blue hue of night.]

That was a good rest! Ah—b-but... oh. Oh dear, did I fall asleep doing chores again? That hasn't happened in a long time... [A shiver, as she hugs herself.] It's gotten so dark... and cold, too...

[She huffs in frustration, but the nervousness is rolling off her shoulders in waves]

Kaji? Kaaaji, can you hear me?! ...Ooooh, I can't believe I wandered this far out! I don't even recognize it at all!

...Wait a moment; what am I wearing? These definitely aren't mine—

[And straight to the wings soon after; she pulls on them and immediately regrets it, wincing aloud.]

W-w-what are these strange things!? Th—

AH, they're flapping!!

[With that outburst, she promptly trips backward on her own two feet, landing her bottom right on top of her journal.]

[She stumbles along after him, looking around in the dark curiously. The lights in the distance are relieving, at least, considering how chilly it was.

And Ginko had the right thoughts, because she spoke up]

I don't suppose they have any clothes I could have—well, I prefer kimono, but... if there's not any choice, these aren't too bad.

Re: [ action ]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Oi, oi-- there's certainly more to choose from than that. You'll probably find some of your own clothes there. This place has an odd way of doing that.

[as they finally ease through the outskirts of the forest, to the center of the town itself]

Re: [ action ]

[memoryboxes]

[Sayo finally pauses in the middle of the town and looks around.]

The buildings seem so unique and new... This isn't at all what a village of kidnapped people looked like, in my mind...

[It looks so nice! |D]

Re: [ action ]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[a faint snort] It's true-- to be honest, this is an improvement to some worlds, in it's way. The housing and food-- everything is free.

This way.

[he ducks inside the building. He has a few things to pick up himself-- and an idea.]

Re: [ action ]

[memoryboxes]

[She follows, albeit drawn to the random sights around her like a kid in a toy store. Some of these things—they're just so very surprising to see. And goodness, to have all of this strange new stuff for free! It almost feels unfair to the natural way of villages. Not even a bartering?

But she leans a little, looking at Ginko's hair. Sanji was right: his hair was just as interesting as the chef's. And then she recalled what he said—]

Ginko-san, you're a mushishi, right...? A man named Sanji told me.

[A curious pause, while she scoops up the facts.]

You're the one who told me about my condition, aren't you?

Re: [ action ]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[he blinks, then smiles] Yeah, that's right.

Your son sent for me-- it was a few years ago, for me at least. [a pause, as he collects what he was looking for] To be honest, I'm curious to see what will happen to that mushi in this place.

...There are no mushi, here.

Re: [ action ]

[memoryboxes]

Really? There aren't... any?

[She unconsciously touches her ears, brow furrowing.]

But then—what do you think happens...

[to the other mushi in my head?]

Re: [ action ]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

I don't know. [he's frank] ... but I'd like to observe what happens, if you don't mind.

[pause. Oi, oi.] Speaking of which-- where would you like to stay? I'd return your hospitality if I had a house here, but... all of the lodging is free, as you've probably heard.

Re: [ action ]

[memoryboxes]

I don't mind at all. It's important to know those sorts of things...

[a look of thought]

I would stay anywhere that isn't outside, honestly. This place seems to have such nice homes—where ever an opening is, I guess.

[CH2 Floor 1 Room 1, it seems I WISH THERE WERE JAPANESE-STYLE HOUSES :|a]

Re: [ action ]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[a nod, and a mutter...] That's good-- the community buildings are full of other villagers, but most of them have open rooms. [a slight smile] So you're not by yourself.

[and it's probably thinking along those lines that leads him to the Strawhats, and the Strawhats to Sanji, and Sanji to.... ack] Oi, are you hungry?

Re: [ action ]

[memoryboxes]

...That depends... what 'hungry' feels like...

[;A;]

Re: [ action ] 1/2

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[........






Oh boy.]

Re: [ action ] /as I watch the episode again

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Right, well. Let's go to the place that stocks food, and if you take a bite of something and want to keep at it [......he's never thought about how to describe this] -- you're probably hungry.

Re: [ action ] it's such a nice episode. *3* /watches, too

[memoryboxes]

Oh! Is that what that's called? It must've just slipped my mind.

[derp derp derp]

I could definitely use a meal or two! It's been such a winding night.

Re: [ action ] and she doesn't even confront the bastard ;_;

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[a quiet heh, of relief] Alright, then. When you've found everything you need--

[then heading out once more, to the strange strange place with strangely strangely packaged food.]

Re: [ action ] SHE'S NOT GOOD AT CONFRONTATION ;A; h-how about dinner instead?

[memoryboxes]

[DID YOU SAY STRANGE? Because this place is strangely strange.]

U-uhm... Ginko-san... I didn't forget all of these sorts of things, did I?

[Looking at everything and anything because it all seems so very foreign.

WHERE AM IIIIII]

Re: [ action ] they both have too-niceness disease 8|

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

No, Sayo-san. [looking with a little bemusement himself, as he doesn't come in here too often] This is food from all different worlds. [slight grin] Plenty of new memories to make, at least. Afraid I can't tell you what half of it is, myself.

Re: [ action ] 1/2 BUT BUT... what if the husband had a kagedama, too? >:^D

[memoryboxes]

Well... is there any fish and rice? Oh, and definitely some vegetables!

Re: [ action ]

[memoryboxes]

...And a nice pot to cook it in, too.

Re: [ action ] /GASP. DUN dun DUUUUUNNN D8

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Well... [from the other side of the room] the fish is wrapped a little oddly, but there's plenty. [he's already picked up rice, as he was looking to get more, himself.] Although the vegetables...[are interesting and odd enough to now thoroughly distract him]

Re: [ action ]

[memoryboxes]

[From one old-school Japanese person to another, let's just... stare at these vegetables. Dear me.]

There are certainly a lot to choose from...
