21st Memory [Voice/Action?]

[memoryboxes]

[Sayo had a scary moment today. She'd opened her journal for review, flipped through the pages, and found herself speaking with someone she didn't recognize—she didn't recognize? She leaned in, scanned their faces, and her heart dropped into her stomach. And soon she found herself flipping to more and more pages, and they were there, and she knew them. She knew them!]

Crona-san...? K-kamina? Ciel?

Who—

[Suddenly, she's reminded of her faceless husband, and she flusters and grows cold all at once.

There were others. So many others. They had less to look for, but she had forgotten them all the same. Where they important to her? Where they friends? How could she have let this happen? How many others... She turns the page and starts a voice entry, trying to mask the growing anxiety bubbling under the surface of a quiet voice.]

[Voice]

U-um, if you–if you know me, can I talk to you? If you know me at all... I'd like to talk to you again...

[No, think of a good excuse for this. She clears her throat a bit, as if to unruffle some metaphorical feathers. Maybe some non-metaphorical ones, too. And then she pulls up a smile.]



Actually... I was wondering about the 'amusement' place. It just appeared, didn't it? I'm not sure what it is, but people seem like they're really interested in it. What does it do? Perhaps... a food place? Something for games? Have any of you gone yet?

[After that, it's time for venturing to work, and then to the tea shop! She was considering working it for a few hours after Seventh Heaven. It was at least good memories... Few, yes, but they were with Kaji, in their home. That was what mattered to her. It made her happy. Content, even with the usual problems in her day.]

[The second part, full of Sayo's warm questioning, should be enough to explain the request...but something in that first question demanded worrying. Jilly's can't keep all of the concern from her voice when she replies]

Sayo? Is everything alright?

[memoryboxes]

[Jilly, she is so glad to know your face and name and voice right now. There's relief in familiarity, and she sighs, though it's not quite full of disappointment.]

I'm alright; I just feel bad, not keeping up with everyone who's been around me...

Are you doing well, Jilly-san?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

There's so much to keep track of. None of us can do it all.

I'm... [she hesitates, then soldiers on] I'm alright. It's quiet in the house right now, with Buffy and Len...gone. But I'm alright.

[wise_maiden]

Sayo? [Her concern immediately is drawn to the first part, of course.] I hope it hasn't been too long since we last talked. Are you all right?

[memoryboxes]

[Not long at all, Raine-san. In fact, she just recently spoke to Sheena... She lowers her chin, frowning.]

I'm alright. But are you alright? I'd heard you and Yuan-san had gotten into a bit of trouble... Sheena-san told me. Are you okay?

[Voice/Filtered from Legato]

[goldenglasses]

[That's an... odd request.] Sayo are you alright?

Re: [Voice/Filtered from Legato]

[memoryboxes]

[Oh no.]

I'm... okay...

[oh no, she really had—]





May I ask... who you are?

[There went any hope Jilly and Raine had rekindled.]

[Voice]

[consultmybooks]

It's both - there's a great deal of food, although not all of it is very edible. And there's also a great deal of games, some of which are...rather fun. There are rides, as well, although I haven't gone on as many of those.

[...Sayo, what's wrong?]

Re: [Voice]

[memoryboxes]

[Giles! She more than happy to see you're still ringing memory bells.]

Well! Unedible food seems like a poor idea on their part!

You say there are 'rides'?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[Gotta admit, Sheena will be surprised that Sayo remembered.]

Uh...hey, Sayo. What can I get you?

Re: [action]

[memoryboxes]

Oh, I'm fine! I was actually coming in to see if you wanted any help; my shift at Seventh Heaven just ended.

[voice]

[simplestgift]

Sayo? Is everything all right? [He worries about you.]

Re: [voice]

[memoryboxes]

[She knows. Sorry, Arch. :C]

Everything's fine. I was just doing a lot of thinking, is all.

But... I'm really wondering what all that fuss is about, for these 'amusement' places.

/breaks hiatus because Nami loves you :|

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Blah blah ignoring all that amusement park stuff. She's too sick to go anyway. But that first part--]

Hello, Sayo. [Stuffy voice is stuffy |D]

\o/

[memoryboxes]

Hello Nami-sa—

...



Nami, are you okay?

[Oh, of course. Robert is only too happy to speak to Sayo.]

Ah, Ms. Sayo... F-Forgive me for not speaking with you... sooner.

The a-amusement park is a... recreational f-facility, for the most part. One goes there for the purpose of... e-enjoying oneself. Amusement, if you will...

[memoryboxes]

That's alright! It's nice to hear from you again, Robert-san,

What sorts of things are at this... 'amusement' place? I've seen a carousel and some of the tall rides, but I haven't been there yet... I admit, it's a little tempting to go see.

[seraphgoddess.livejournal.com]

[ She doesn't comment how strange the request. She's already aware of Sayo's condition and is more than happy to help her. ]

Hello Sayo. I'm Martel. We spoke to each other before.

[memoryboxes]

[Mithos' sister—you aren't one to be lost to memory troubles, not yet. Not with her moments of thought, in the middle of the nights.]

It's nice to hear from you again, Martel-san. Have you heard much about this 'amusement park' people keep bringing up?

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[Ginko doesn't have the journal on hand when Sayo makes this entry, but it's just as well: they'll meet in person sooner. He is headed to the tea shop... because that's what grown-up people who aren't fond of loud and questionable-looking metal deathtraps do to amuse themselves.]

[memoryboxes]

[It's like a trip down memory laaaane. Remember that one time you came back to say hi and see how she was doing? Well, re-picture that. Because she's casually putting tea down for people and smiling and talking about Sayo things, like the weather.

She'll get to you in a minute. ._.]

[justicereigns]

Hey again Sayo. I'm Smoker.

The Amusement Park.... has it's moments. [Which is like the highest praise ever in Smoker language.]

[memoryboxes]

Hello, Smoker-san!

[Oh yes, she remembers you! :D]

Has it's moments?

[Voice]

[Yuan was torn between responding to this entry and ignoring it. The only reason he knows Sayo is because an experiment gave him false memories of her. They'd never met before that and they hadn't met afterwards, either. Yet she sounded so desperate that he couldn't bring himself to ignore her and, for some strange reason, he feels a twinge of guilt for what he'd done in those memories that never were.]

... Sayo.

Re: [Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Ah... Yuan-san. [Funny, how she remembers someone she had never met before or after that event; it's hard to forget things like that.] Are you okay? I heard you ran into some trouble not too long ago...
