► Redux Nightmare 01

[Waking up in a strange bed, in a strange room, in a strange house, in a strange house, in a strange -- well you get the idea. It was bizaree. But welcoming. Tsubasa looked around for a moment to figure out where she was and quickly realized that this setting looked familiar. And soon a flood of memories came to her - Mayfield

You're glad to be back? ...It's not my business, but I can't help but be curious- why?

[iinchoucat]

[She vaguely recognizes the voice, but responds normally.]

So it is strange. I had a feeling it would get that kind of reaction.

[tsundorapettan]

I-it's not that! It's just that, well, you know how people don't usually like this place and prefer to go home, s-so this isn't something that happens often! That means you probably have a good reason.

[iinchoucat]

I can understand that. This place has a lot of things not to like. But, it also has things you can like! For example - the pastries at the bakery are fairly good. And the drones are pleasant enough.

[tsundorapettan]

I guess, that's true, but.... when you compare the amount of good things to the amount of bad ones... is it really better than being at home? I just don't understand...

[iinchoucat]

So it really is surprising. I see. [Recording this mentally for later reference.]

There's not much I can do about it since I'm here. Might as well enjoy the time I get to have here once more. What day is it exactly?

[tsundorapettan]

I guess you're right... no use moping around too much, huh? Making the best of it would be a good choice. Um, according to the calendars here, it's..... Tuesday, November 23rd.

[iinchoucat]

[Tuesday the 23rd..............................]

It's almost Thanksgiving here! I wonder if the butcher would still have turkeys available this late.

[tsundorapettan]

Yeah! That's right, they celebrate it on the 25th in America, don't they? --This reminds me, isn't today Labor Thanksgiving...?

[iinchoucat]

Yes, it is. They must be holding festivals there right now. But, that doesn't concern us since we're in 1950's America. ...Japan might not have even establishing Labor Thanksgiving as a national holiday yet, unless Mayfield is living in the post World War II era.

[tsundorapettan]

Oh...? Wait, that's wierd.... if we're in the 1950's, wouldn't that be after the end of the second world war? I mean, I'm not good at history, but I'm pretty sure that World War II ended in 1945.

[iinchoucat]

...That's true isn't it. [She laughs a little. Not in a bad way, but it actually sounds like a genuinely happy laugh.] I feel so silly. Let me think...Labor Thanksgiving was established in 1948, so yes it would be celebrated during this time! You're absolutely right.

[tsundorapettan]

....I am? I mean, yeah, I am! I'm right! H, hahahaha...

[iinchoucat]

And I'm wrong! Mistaken! [She keeps laughing. Finally she can prove she doesn't know everything!!]

[tsundorapettan]

T, that's not what I meant! I mean, I'm not trying to be condescending or anything, I'm just, well, history and studies isn't exactly my strong point, so I'm not usually right about that kind of stuff...!

[iinchoucat]

You're not being condescending. I'm congratulating you! I'm glad that you're able to excel in something you're not normally good at.
