2nd Memory [Accidental Written/Action](future-dated)

[memoryboxes]

[Rise and shine, Luceti! When you wake up, you may notice your journals have a few pages-worth of... notes? To the Japanese speakers out there, it's in older characters, but of course it'll translate to the English speakers as a garble of:]

"insurmountable wall"

[And a very lovely description of her home, in her world~

...She will never understand these journals. -_-;

Sayo soon starts her day, running off to the store to buy take more food! But she can't help but stare for a looong time at all of these boxes; they're all just so confusing, and even Ginko is at a loss for some of them. Sayo also visits the item shop, but nothing yet on her loom or any other possessions from home; the patterned kimono are still there—aaah, and they're really pretty... but they might belong to someone. Best leave them be and just pick a few more things up from the clothing store.

When everything's all set, she quietly dips into Seventh Heaven, looking around in half-contained awe. All this seems so surreal, so different from what she's used to. But she's already decided to try avoid looking at any situation with dread. She'll just have to make the most of it, and luckily, that's not so hard to do when things seem so nice.]

[Well, no point in being sad when you've got determination and hard work ahead of you! She nods, patting the counter.]

I see! What kinds of other drinks do we have, in Luceti? I should definitely remember what they are, if I'll be serving them!

[Teas and water was so much more limited!]

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Would you like to try some?

[It's not just politeness urging him to ask. He wonders if tying a memory to more than one sense will keep it around longer]

One of our popular drinks is something called soda.

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

I would definitely like to try whatever we have! And if it's popular, I'm certainly interested in knowing what all the fuss is about!

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Then he'll go fetch a bottle of orange soda from one of the fridges reserved for the drinks, and pour some into a glass]

It's uh... kinda hard to explain. But it bubbles in your mouth.

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

[1.) what an interesting glass and 2.) that soda indeed has bubbles]

...Are you sure that's safe to drink?

[Because last she checked, bubbles are mostly from something being skin-burningly hot.]

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Well, better to show than tell. He pours himself a small glass - he's not a big fan of soda - and takes a sip to prove his point]

Completely safe!

Re: [Action] 1/2

[memoryboxes]

[She carefully takes the glass in hand, and quietly downs some of it.]

Oh...

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

It's really tasty! [and bubbly!] What's it made out of?

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Sugar, water, carbonation... among other things. [Has he lost you with that last one?]

Shit's not that healthy, but it's a nice treat.

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

[Actually, you lost her at 'sugar', but it's all good!]

I see. Does that mean it's a favorite of the house?

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

That's right! And there's more than one kind, too. [He puts his glass by the sink]

But besides that, we've got every kind of tea you can imagine, water, alcohol...

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

Alcohol? What's that....?

[She trails off a bit, looking at the sink. Between the spout and the fact that it's not wooden, she really can't help but wonder how the heck that thing works, if it's what she thinks it is.

Poor antiquated woman.]

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

You've heard of sake, right? That's a type of alcohol.

[He follows her gaze to the sink, and -- oh.]

Recognize this? [He briefly turns the water on]

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

Oh! I see!

[But she's far too busy trying to figure out that this sink is up to.]

It's—is it like a pump? I didn't know there were wells under here...

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

You're on the right track~! Water is pumped all throughout the town using pipes. [Or... however Luceti does it. It might not follow logic]

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

[Somebody suddenly wants to go home and poke and prod at everything. She smiles and turns the water on for a moment herself, before turning it off. Gotta reserve that water!]

Amazing... Water and electricity underground...

[She points to the light above them, beaming.]

I don't know how any of it works, but I'm amazed nonetheless; did Sanji-san have these in his world?

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Please don't play with the outlets. D8]

Some of these things, but not all. I'm more used to lamps and sunlight, but there are buildings with lights like these.

[He glances at her thoughtfully] Does everything seem new to you?

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

[Geez, you and Ginko making a fuss about these silly 'out-lots'! I'll be fine if I use a fork and not my finger, right?]

Well, I know...

[She picks up a wooden spoon. |D]

This~! And I know what some of the vegetables are, at least. But for every one thing I seem to understand, there are 20 I haven't the slightest idea about.

[A pause.]

Like the bed in my room! It's not on the ground at all...

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[8| And this is why Sanji is gonna accumulate gray hairs and turn into Ginko]

You really are from Ginko's world. [he thinks back in amusement when Ginko was introduced to the beds]

I hope you haven't been falling off.

Re: [Action] 1/2

[memoryboxes]

Ah—that's no problem! I may be forgetful, but I have strong bones~!

[Gray hairs indeed.]

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

[but she chuckles good-naturedly into her hand.]

Ginko speaks often of our world, I take it?

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[S-sob. He'll just skip over that first part with a sigh]

He's got a knack for storytelling, yeah. Especially if it concerns mushi.

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

[Sayo claps her hands together, very much interested]

I never even thought to ask him about the other things he's done! A mushishi must have so many different and interesting tales to tell; traveling around like he does, I can imagine he must see some truly amazing things...

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

You should; he's told me of mushi that come in the shape of rainbows... even ones that live in flowers.

That's not even beginning to list them all.

Re: [Action]

[memoryboxes]

Amazing... it really sounds like a lot of fun, managing creatures like that. I admittedly can't see the mushi, myself, but I would imagine it's like seeing another world within one's own.

[She tilts her head to the side, thinking about her home. A bittersweet thing, loving something and not being able to sit among its wonders.]

It's so strange—last I can recall, it was the end of winter at home. And yet it's only just started here! I can't even begin to wrap my mind around how this place works...
