memoryboxes | 25th Memory [Voice/Possible Action]

[Unfortunately for Sayo, she didn't exactly... walk back in from the draft; she'd gotten herself into quite the mess there, resulting in wing so busted up that it had to be removed regardless, and thanks to that she was suffering from an awful fever and couldn't really move. So. Instead of returning home, she had to stay at the clinic. Most times she was able to get enough medication that she unnaturally drifted off in and out of restfulness. Laying on her side helped, too.

She thinks about familiar faces—during her stay in the medical tent, she remembered brief, strangely illuminated visages of different people. There was Nami, and then Raine, and then the man who'd helped her, and more than that. She even recollects seeing Mithos and Ginko and Kaji, but... she realizes reality deviated like a fork in those moments.

More than anything, she wants to talk to people, thinking about that sort of thing. She reaches over, smoothing out her journal at her side, before she hesitantly turns it on. Her voice is controlled, soft.]

[Voice]

Is... Um. [She swallows hard, clearing her throat.] Did everyone return alright? I hope not too many people were injured... I know I saw quite a few injuries, but I hope they were nothing too severe. If you were hurt, please let me know you're doing well.

[She smiles, unseen by the screen, which is covered with a pillow.]

Something wonderful did happen, though. I actually dreamed, the other night; it really is an amazing thing, isn't it? Being able to see such clear images in your mind... It was so wonderful. I know there are bad dreams, too... But... But I like the good ones. I could see people in them—even if I miss them and they're not here, I'm glad I was able to see them.

[She laughs softly.]

I guess it's a strange thing to talk about.

[...And.

She has to make sure. Has to check. If he's back....]

[Voice // Filtered 30% to Mithos]

......

Mithos...? Are you there?

[Other than that? She'll be here for a few days recuperating. Reading from her notebooks when she can, steadily gaining some strength, having to re-learn a lot of notes she'd written up before she'd gotten injured. You can visit her on any ol' day later in the week, up until the 22nd; she might just ask you to teach her about this... checkers thing. :|a

It's been sitting on her table and she is intensely curious about it, okay.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Yuan's not the only one hacking that filter. Nami doesn't have the same history, but she's heard that name, and sue her for just...being concerned. That being said--]

You up for visitors, Sayo?

[She blinks, before a smile crosses her features. Nami, oh Nami, you know what the answer to that sort of question is.]

Of course you can.

Besides! I need someone to show me how this... 'game' works.

A 'game', huh? Give me a few minutes and I'll be right down.

[Though she'll look through that conversation first. >_> See you shortly.]

[Oh you fiend.

She'll be here, staring quietly out the window with her hands folded over each other. It's been... a better day that yesterday. There's that much to hold onto.]

[Nami arrives with a pile of books. She's not sure if Sayo would even want to read, but it's the only thing she can think of to help pass the boredom apart from company. Peering into the room to make sure she's still awake before she comes on in.]

Hey. Feeling any better?

Hello, Nami-san! [She nods in her direction, glancing at the books in her hand with a cheery expression.] I'm feeling much better, yes... A little under the weather, but better than when I'd gotten hurt.

You brought something along with you?

I did! I don't know if you like to read much, but you've got to be getting bored stuck in here, so just in case.

[Just takin' a seat there. |D] They say the wing grows back in pretty quickly. A week or two.

That's a relief; I was worried for a while that I'd be stuck with just one.

[A hand reaches up toward the books; she's very curious as to what reading material Nami-san would recommend, you know.]

What are they about?

They're all adventure stories! A friend brought them for me once when I was laid up in bed. There's Treasure Island here, which is my favourite. Um... Gulliver's Travels and a book called Pirate Latitudes, but I don't know if you'll like that last one. Try 'em out and see what you think? If you want to.

Oooh! I do rather like traveling, so maybe I'll enjoy at least one of them! [a chuckle, as she accepts the books] You've read them all, then?

Sure have! They're pretty interesting. You let me know if you like any of them, and I'll see if I can find more along those lines. Though... if all goes well, you probably won't be here long enough to even finish one.

Is that so? I hope so myself... Though I've been having quite a few hours in the night, so I might just be able to read one through!

...you're having trouble sleeping?

[l o l]

[l-lmao--!

... No really though, she's trying to remember if she's ever told you.]

...

Nami-san, I don't sleep.

What do you mean, you don't sleep?

[We'll take stupid questions for $200, Alex...]

I've... never slept before, Nami-san. The kagedama keeps me wake throughout the night.

You don't...sleep...

What, ever ever?

[YES OKAY THIS IS HARD TO TAKE IN SLEEP IS GOOD FOR YOU SAYO ;_;]

Ever ever! I just sit up working, most of the time!

...I see.

[...she's still trying to process that. It's unnatural-- but then so is the thing eating memories in your head. To Nami, that's a horrific side effect to something that was already terrible to begin with. So she sounds a little distracted because damn, Sayo--]

Isn't that lonely?

Edited 2012-01-04 07:18 (UTC)

Mmm... Sometimes, I guess. After all, everyone's got to sleep, so I tend to be the only one up. But I use that time to remember very important things and people... so I don't mind it too much.

[...]

Sayo. I know nothing can be done back home, but...

[...Nami trails off. No. Really. She can't suggest this to Sayo of all people. She bites her lip, and then changes tack.]

...is there any way to kill the kagedama?

... Ginko told me its weakness is light.

But--

[She considers her words, thoughtful. Had to make sure she was remembering things right.]

--that shining a light on a kagedama is impossible, because its already in my head, where light can't touch it.

Where in your head? Do you know?

[...yes, she might be looking all serious and thoughtful.]

Ah.... I—I don't know.

[Or don't remember.]

Nami...?
