[Action for 1332 Benny Road]

[It is 2pm at 1332 Benny Road...and a not-so-new arrival has only just arisen from her slumber...shuffling about the house with a look that is a mixture of "I'm not surprised" and absolute boredom. She has ignored others in the house as she made for the kitchen and began to shuffle about, preparing what other members

[Absolutely trying not to hyperventilate.

She JUST got her memories back, just a few days ago. Now Yuuka can't hate her. Now Yuuka HAS to appreciate her! SHE'S WORKED SO HARD! And her hat! IT'S SO STYLISH!]

Um... Um.

Y...Yuuka-sama? Is that you?

[convallariaceae]

Oh, Elly, how odd.

Were you put back here at the same time as myself?

[worst_apple]

I... I... I never left.

[convallariaceae]

Oh, I see.

Well, seeing as you are not one who would lie to me...just how long have I been away, dear?

[Either Yuuka is not picking up on the distress in Elly's voice...or she's sorely pretending she doesn't. Either way Yuuka's voice stays light and inquisitive.]

[worst_apple]

I... lost count. A while.

[convallariaceae]

I see, I see.

What house were you living in again? I believe I have moved right next door to the one I used to be in.

I should probably go over and say hello soon. It would be rude not to say hello to my new neighbors, don't you think?

[worst_apple]

S-something ... Albright.

I can come to you, Yuuka-sama, if you want.

[convallariaceae]

[Ugh, this is going to dissolve into wailing and crying. Oh well...]

You may do so, if you wish. You can show me what you've been doing with yourself.

[worst_apple]

I haven't been doing anything bad or wrong! I... I.... I ki--...........

[Silence.]

[convallariaceae]

I did not imply anything of the sort, child.

[worst_apple]

I... know.

I... I don't want to see you.

[convallariaceae]

Is that so? And why is that?

[worst_apple]

I... don't want you to see me cry. You'll get mad.

[convallariaceae]

[Wow...wait what?]

Oh come now. Have I not let you cry any other time?

Though...perhaps this place is maturing you a bit...how strange.

[worst_apple]

YOU'LL GET MAD AT ME. I don't want you to be mad. I didn't do any... anything bad. Not really. But you'll still make me sad if I look at you!

[convallariaceae]

[There is a loud, long sigh from Yuuka's end of the phone.]

If you wish to come and speak with me, child, I will not berate you for shedding tears. I do happen to understand the effects this town may have on any mind.
