memoryboxes | 21st Memory [Voice/Action?]

[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.]

[Nami shuffles her way to the door to answer it herself, all wrapped up in a dressing gown with fluffy slippers. That have cute little sheep heads on the toes. Go figure.]

Hey. C'mon in.

[She comes right in, with a thermos just for you, Namiii~~]

Ah, it's nice and quiet today. I guess your captain must be away right now, right?

[Not that he's the noise causer. Except when he is.]

He is. Sanji-kun chased him out of the house earlier. [Something about Luffy's orange juice Especially For Nami.] How have you been?

[To the kitchen! There is tea to be drunk.]

[A bright smile, same as always.]

I've been doing good. I recently started working at the tea shop as well, so I've been able to keep myself busier than usual.

The tea shop too, huh? You sound pretty busy. I mean, between that and the restaurant...

Oh, it's not too much, really. I always have the energy for it in the daytime, and it's only for a few hours. Besides, I have more fun when I'm out talking to people.

That's usually the way it goes. Especially when you live on your own.

[Pouring that tea into a cup, thanks, and measuring how to ask this next question. Hm.]

Do you have many visitors at home? And would you like some of this?

Oh—I'd like some, if there's any left over.

[Dammit, Nami, don't ask about my home life; I'll just lie about anything bother me in any way shape, or form anyway. :|]

Well, I have a visitor here and there. Jilly-san came over not too long ago to visit...

[You can't con a conman, Sayo. :|]

Jilly? I don't think I've met Jilly. [Pouring you a cup of that tea, thanks.] What's she like?

Oh, she's a very sweet girl. She's an artist, too; we talked about how art is a good way to keep track of memories! [a sad little laugh] Unfortunately my level of drawing is something to never talk about. It's far too awful-looking!

Really? But is it memorable and awful looking, that's a question. Why don't you show me what you can do?

.....

Show you how I draw?

Yes! I'm curious.

[... O-okay. She takes out her journal, looks thoughtful, looks at Nami, looks at the paper—]

...

Only if you draw something first.

Well, I'm more a mapmaker than an artist. But sure. Gimme a sec...

[Leaving the kitchen! Only to come back with her sketchbook, which isn't really used for sketching. Much. >> She flips it open to a clean page.] Want me to draw anything in particular?

Hm... Anything you want! Maybe something you like?

Or maybe even something you dislike!

Hmm, okay. Give me a bit.

[Annnd she draws a picture of Bellmere. ~~Surprise!~~ Not that bad, actually. |D She's...had a lot of practice at this one okay. >.>]

This is my mother.

Ooh! Nami-san is a fairly good artist...! I'm envious.

[... Does that get me out of drawing? :D?]

[No. :|]

Here, now you try.

[Pushing the sketchbook your way. And drinking her tea.]

Ah--

But--

... What should I draw?

[...hm.]

What about your son?

[She blinks. Aaah.]

My son... I could try...

[THE MOST INTENSE OF FOCUSING.]

Ah—there...

[CLOSE ENOUGH.]

[Pffft. That is so cute. ...not particularly well drawn, but CUTE. 8|]

He's adorable. How old is he?

He's—

... Ah. He's...

[... Something.]

I'm not really sure.

[...oh. Of course.

Well, at least Sayo still remembers him.]

Do you think you'd like him to be here with you?
