9th Memory [Action/Voice]

[memoryboxes]

[After a very tiring last few weeks—between learning about things she's forgotten and turning into things she could never willingly forget—Sayo found herself resting comfortably in Luceti. The experiment, while straining for some, wasn't so bad. She'd gotten to record an image of her son's face while she was stuck in his body... and now she can proudly put the picture on a table in her living room.

Even with her in his body, it was still so him. Did they really share the way they emoted that well? It's something to laugh about.

She's also been working on making something beyond the traditional Japanese outfit. Because honestly? She wanted to try something new—even if it meant her knowledge of clothes-making was in jeopardy, she didn't mind it. She'd relearn it later, hmm?

So she's been making blankets and dropping them off at the clothes store. Ones that are moreso her world's style, some that are patterned unlike anything she's used to (—and what interesting ways of making blankets! Quilts!). She can't help but ask, as she sits contently to watch people come and go:]

[Voice for Everyone Ever]

What type of hobbies do you enjoy doing? And has this place made you form any new ones?

[After that, she'll leave, and uncharacteristically veer off her usual path toward the inner forest.

She's been hearing (repeatedly, forgetting often, relearning often...) that there are spirits here that can teach people things. She's not sure which to listen to first, but she knows she wants to try. Try... and see if it's something her mind will keep intact. Perhaps the water one... or the wind one... Ah, those would be good! They would be helpful to protect oneself without hurting the other person fighting, right?

When she feels she's far out enough, she speaks hesitantly—]

Hello...? Is... is this how I speak with you...?

[Granted, you may find her lost in the forest. Which way was back again... hmmm... :|a]

I never used to cook so much for myself, or try so many new things.

Re: [Voice]

[memoryboxes]

[O-oh, Alexis, she may not remember who you are. :'|

BUT THAT CHANGES NOTHING OF HER REPLY!!]

You didn't? Oh, I just love cooking—the idea that you're making things for the sake of your health or someone else's has always felt so rewarding! What have you been learning?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Shopping. And mapmaking.

[memoryboxes]

[She totally knew you were back... but it's nice to hear your voice journal-to-journal again. :')]

Shopping is a lot of fun! I didn't do it as often at home, but now that I don't have a currency to collect, I've been shopping to my heart's content~!

...And mapmaking? I never knew you enjoyed that sort of thing, Nami-san!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[You remember her name ;A;]

I do. It's part of my job as a navigator, but it's also something I've loved since I was a kid.

If you love shopping so much, maybe we should go together one day?

[fabrecation]

I write about my day... Kind of boring, I know.

Re: [Voice]

[memoryboxes]

[juuuust a little laugh here~]

Don't be silly! I make sure to write about my day every night! And despite what it sounds like, I happen to think it can be pretty fun to recall the day's events.

Sometimes, the boring, slow days are the ones where I feel the most at peace, strange as it sounds.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

Heh heh... I don't think that's strange. I write about the slow days, too. Even if I don't say much about it... I think it's more of a habit than a hobby for me, though. I've been doing it all my life.

Listening to music.

Re: [voice]

[memoryboxes]

Music!

...

[Had this been a few weeks ago, you might've gotten a different reply. But alas—]

What is music? Is it something like arts and crafts?

[voice]

[emp3thy]

[he's a bit taken aback for a moment, but hey... Luceti gets all types. Maybe she's an alien who just happens to look like a traditionally-dressed Japanese lady.]

A little, but with sound.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I still study a lot. It makes me feel at home. And I like to swim, but I haven't done that as much here. Chess, too.

Re: [Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Ah—Ami-chan?

Is that you? I was wondering where you'd gotten to...!

[I had to keep you in mind so I wouldn't lose track of you! :(]

...chess, though. I've never heard of it! What is it?

[acclimatized]

I tried fishing one week, but it didn't go anywhere. I haven't thought of anything since.

[memoryboxes]

Oh, Kaji and the others back home fish all the time! It's typically how we get our dinner, when we're hitting rough spots in making money. I've tried it a few times, and it's really just no fun until you've actually got something at the other end of the line...

[She laughs, humored by the thought.]

Other than that, it's just a line-up of boys getting frustrated.

[ voice ]

[vanhossen.livejournal.com]

Fencing. Although it isn't a new hobby, Luceti introduced to me another method of training.

Re: [ voice ]

[memoryboxes]

Fencing? What is that—the training, you're talking about?

[Voice]

[tofu-furget.livejournal.com]

Video games and great flicks, Sayo-san! That's all a dude like me ever needs!

Re: [Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Oh, I see!







But—what are 'video games' and 'flicks'...?

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Building model aircraft and playing the guitar. They're not new hobbies, but I certainly have a lot more time for them.

[memoryboxes]

[You guys are killing her with all this stuff she doesn't know!

TIME TO WORK HER NOTE-TAKING SKILLS]

Oh? What are air...crafts? And guitars? I'd love to know about them!

[soulbait.livejournal.com]

[...

...]

I draw designs for my company to pass idle time in Luceti. [And chat up random people, like now]

[memoryboxes]

[You just can't help it, can you, Ciel-san~]

Oh! You have a company? I never knew that...!

[justicereigns]

Cigars, reading, solving criminal cases, stacking rocks, practicing the jitte, and sailing.

No new ones to speak of. How about you.

[memoryboxes]

Oh, me? I enjoy cooking and reading, but I mainly do a lot of cloth-work—weaving, and things like that; I spend most of my nights at the loom, actually!
