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.]

Of course! I used to do it at home, so it'll be valuable to do, for me!

Well, I'm not gonna tell you no. It'll be good to have someone else with experience.

Re: [action]

I'm glad to hear it! To be honest, I'm happy to serve.

This place... it reminds me a lot of home. It'll be great to help out when I can.

D'you want any tea right now? The place's pretty empty, you could come pick something that's like what you'd have at home.

Ah, that sounds fantastic. I've been a little parched!

How about some nice green tea?

[Unlike other customers, Sayo will be led to the storeroom to choose for herself. She'll need to know what it's like back here anyway, if she plans to work even for a few hours.]

Go ahead, pick one. [Everything is labeled.]

Re: [action]

[memoryboxes]

Hmmm. [She reaches out and automatically goes for tea leaves to make Sencha. But there were so many to choose from, regardless.] You're already so prepared! I'm impressed with how quickly this place started running, Sheena-san.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

It might've been quick, but I don't really get a lot of people coming here.

Re: [action]

[memoryboxes]

You don't?

[She smiles.]

... Well, at least you can have me as a daily customer.
