Action | Park
[Her name is April Sinclair, she was born in the English Wasteland 25 years ago, she doesn't have a husband or children, she never lived in Mayfield: those are the words April repeats to herself as she paces around the park. Those memories aren't real, she is-ISN'T, she isn't married, she's April Crowley-NO. She stops her pacing and ( Read more... )

How did you do that?

[Something like that could be done with simple magecraft, Lancer had seen Rin do worse--...no, wait. Had he? Of course not, magic wasn't real. Right?]

evers_hacker July 4 2011, 19:51:02 UTC

[She blinks in surprise at Lancer, before she looks uncertain. Even though she was the one who done it, she's still unsure about if she actually did... But she knows she did, she's done stuff like this before.] It's... an ability I have... I-I can control and generate electricity...

riastrad_ridire July 4 2011, 19:53:19 UTC

...Do you think you can do it again?

evers_hacker July 4 2011, 20:01:23 UTC

Um... y-yeah, I think I can. [Electricity soon flares up and flickers erratically around her. She doesn't want to destroy a tree or anything, so another bench nearby ends up as a crater. And even though April was aware of what she did this time, she still looks unsure.]

riastrad_ridire July 4 2011, 20:07:14 UTC

...this isn't right. I mean something isn't right. I don't know if it's the fact you just did that or that I know that shouldn't be weird.

evers_hacker July 4 2011, 20:31:43 UTC

Yeah, it feels strange that I was able to do that but I know it isn't weird as well. I mean, I remember doing stuff like that and even more before and I remember seeing others do weird stuff as well but... [She groans to herself and rubs her forehead, her headache feels like it's getting worse.] ... It's like my memories are messed up...

riastrad_ridire July 4 2011, 20:38:35 UTC

I've been feeling like that all day. Is it...you remember living in Mayfield, right? We've always been here, but it feels like there's something else too.

I remember things I shouldn't. Names, faces, days I should never have lived through. And the more I do that, the more I wonder if I really lived in Mayfield as long as I think.

evers_hacker July 5 2011, 12:33:31 UTC

Yeah, I remember living here all my life but I also remember living somewhere else... [Ugh this is confusing, but what he says next catches her attention and she frowns as she thinks.]

And even though you don't think you should have those memories, you still do... To be honest, I'm starting to doubt that the memories of living in Mayfield are even real. [But she still has those memories and they feel so real, but they can't be. They can't.]

riastrad_ridire July 5 2011, 12:42:40 UTC

They're not, judging by what people keep telling me. And it's not like all of them would just make that up. I want to say I'm just another normal guy living in this town, but...

[Hesitantly Lancer held out his right arm, the air distorting and shifting for just a moment as a crimson spear appeared in his hand from nowhere.]

...if that's the case, how can I do that?

evers_hacker July 5 2011, 22:02:47 UTC

[Welp. April stares in shock at the spear for a few moments, before peering at it curiously and blinking up at Lancer.] ... W-well, you're definitely not a normal guy if you can do that. [What is tact.] .... But what about your real memories? Don't they tell you why you can do that? [Hey, she found it easier to focus on what was actually real if she talked or thought about just her real memories, so she thinks maybe this might help him, if at all.]

riastrad_ridire July 5 2011, 22:10:18 UTC

I'm...not normal. Not even human, usually. I know that--but the more I remember about living in Mayfield, the more I forget these other memories.

[He brought the lance to rest against his shoulder, trying to concentrate.]

I know I got this weapon from...someone. Someone important, a long time ago. [Lancer shook his head, sighing.] I should remember her name and face, but I can't right now.

Guess we might as well start with the simple parts--what's your name? I'm...everyone calls me Lancer, I think. Don't they?

evers_hacker July 6 2011, 13:11:32 UTC

[April nods as she listens to him, though there's still some uncertainty.] I'm April Crow- [No, no, no. She shakes her head and sighs, let's try again.] I-I'm April Sinclair.

[There's a few moment where she thinks to herself, before she speaks again.] ... And if you don't mind me asking, where are you from, Lancer?

riastrad_ridire July 6 2011, 17:14:14 UTC

Mayf- [No, stupid, that wasn't right.] Japan--no, that's not really it either.

[But that was closer, wasn't it? It wasn't mayfield, so that was a step up.]

Ireland. I'm from Ireland.

evers_hacker July 6 2011, 19:24:30 UTC

And I'm from... t-the English Wastelands, a-at least I think I am... [She sighs and runs a hand over her face.] Ugh, I feel like I need a drink or ten...

riastrad_ridire July 6 2011, 19:27:34 UTC

...There's no way we're really from Mayfield. Even if we know we have been.

[His hand tightened on the lance against his shoulder, as if reminding himself it was there. That was an impossibility, something that shouldn't have existed if the memories of this town were really correct.]

You and me both, kid. I'll have to owe you one.

evers_hacker July 7 2011, 00:52:50 UTC

... I-I bet the town is screwing around with us again, all this definitely seems like something they would do. [At least she thinks it does, but Mayfield has always been a nice place, right? No, no, that's not right.

And she gives Lancer a blank look at being called 'kid' (she's 25 dammit!), before she smiles slightly.]

Well, then I'll hold you to that.
