26th Memory [Voice]

[memoryboxes]

[Long since returned home after her ordeal in the draft and her hospital time, Sayo has been reading. You see, when someone brings up a word, this woman here will learn the damn meaning of that word. And when she cannot find an actual meaning? Well, her determination flounders for but a moment! Aaaah, if only urbandictionary.com existed in Luceti. But even she has her limits, and she's all out of her own personal notes.

Finally with a sigh she drops her Merriam-Webster's Dictionary on the table, and turns to the whole of Luceti via her journal with a pleading sort of aura to the bend of her eyebrows.]


Does anyone know what a shithead is??

[weaponry]

Well, it's certainly quite a vulgar term even if I use it from time to time. It basically means a hateful, stupid person. I'm surprised you can forget such a word like that! It's not used everyday you know, haha! [ and now she's cracking up again. ]

voice...

[memoryboxes]

Haha, actually—I do tend to hear it... at least once a day. [|D;;] One of my friends really likes using that word...

[weaponry]

Really? Do they have some type of short-temper or something? Maybe you can challenge them to start using different words from now on. There are a number of body parts one can combine the word shit with, after all. [ Shitfingers being a personal favorite of Tenten's... ]

[memoryboxes]

Oh, but... shouldn't we stop him from using words like that? It's not very good to talk like that around your customers!

[weaponry]

You didn't mention that part, Sayo. In that case, no, he shouldn't say that stuff to his customers but I don't see the harm in saying it when he's not around them or as long as he's not calling them that.

[memoryboxes]

So I should tell him to try to use more moderation?

[weaponry]

More moderation and more variety. Those should do the trick. If he needs help, send him my way! I'm sure I can find a medical book for every body part.

[memoryboxes]

[She chuckles.] Right! I'll send him your way, if he gets too bad.

[weaponry]

Excellent! [ Tenten giggles with her. ] Do you want to talk about anything else? Like how've you been recently?

[memoryboxes]

How I've been?

[:|a She's been sad that she's alone again. But. Little things.]

I've been alright! The usual, I suppose. My memory hasn't entirely failed me yet, anyway!

[weaponry]

Well, I wouldn't expect it to. Even if you do forget major things, [ Like why we have wings on ourselves. ] you never do go too far. You remember the essentials! Or most of them, at least.

[memoryboxes]

Mm! I've been working really hard to keep people in mind! I don't really mind forgetting objects, as long as I don't forget people!

[weaponry]

That's a really good philosophy to have! Especially for someone in your case! Have you ever thought writing down things about the people you meet here and the things you learn and relearn so you have a guide to help you remember?

[memoryboxes]

Yes, actually! I have a lot of notebooks, just in case I need to look up something I've forgotten! It's been very handy, so far.

[weaponry]

Hm. Well, someone's on top of it. That really is great for you though, Sayo! Though, I am curious, how did you end up with memory problems in the first place? [ Yep. Out of the blue like that. Tenten is totally the most polite. ]

[memoryboxes]

Ah... Well. I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but there are creatures in my world called mushi, that are all very different from each other. One of them just so happens to live by eating memories...

When I was sleeping once in the shade, it crawled into my ear, and that was that.

[weaponry]

So you let him eat your memories?! Is he like some type of bug or something?! That's so gross! [ Ew. Ew. She sort of regrets asking now. Except not really because her curiosity is largely satisfied. ]

[memoryboxes]

W-well, I can't really stop it or control it! Once it's in my head, it's impossible to get it out... unfortunately...
