[ Week 13; Day 1 ] now with 20% more loli! [semi-accidental video]
[ Late morning. Shaky glimpse of a curtained window, and the darkness of a room in a house in Yomisato -- a large house, and, as the camera pans around, you can catch a glimpse of an open closet with an expansive wardrobe. Two people's wardrobes. One filled with tall boots and jackets, the other with more dainty clothing. Frilly nightgowns and the

Chrome, are you alright?
[She looks scared, which Lenalee certainly can't blame her for if she just suddenly woke up that way. Is this another joke, like the unicorns? But it doesn't seem to be affecting anyone else. Lenalee winces. Maybe more like her cat episode, then.]
Do you remember touching any scrolls, recently?
Reply
[ Just kind of staring. ]
Um. I don't. Your name.

[That is... much worse than she had anticipated. This isn't just physical, is it?]
I'm Lenalee. You don't remember me at all?

Hi.

sdhshsdhdfh people talking to her who aren't Mukuro-sama or Boss; so awkward !! ]
Are you a friend of Boss's?
Reply
[It seems strange to say it that way, but she is, isn't she?]
We met a while ago, but you looked older then. Something seems to have happened.
[And because she didn't answer the first time:]
Do you remember seeing or touching any strange scrolls lately?
Reply
[ A friend of hers? Chrome wishes she could remember, but it all seems very implausible. ]
Scrolls? No.
I was home. I woke up here.
[ AHHHH, but if Boss is right and someone else put her here, then she's absolved, isn't she? ]
Um, the gods put me in bed with older Mukuro-sama.

[Chrome didn't seem to be wearing much of anything. They're... like that, then? Lenalee flushes a bit at the far too private piece of information.]
I can't really say what happened, but I hope that you return to how you were soon.

[ Sagely nod. Her Mukuro-sama can do anything, after all. What, she's thirteen, okay. He was still Godlike in her eyes. ]
-- how I was?
[ Suddenly, she is very curious. It's definitely odd to be told by someone that they hope you go back to how you were when... to yourself, you've only ever been how you are. Chrome doesn't entirely understand. What is this woman talking about? ]
How was I?

Older Mukuro-sama and older Boss . . . and older me?
[ That's an idea which takes some getting used to.
But now that Chrome is past her initial freak-out at waking up here, she can't help wondering about herself. Some of these people have talked like they knew her. Does that mean her older self has all these friends? But Chrome doesn't ever really talk to anyone. She wouldn't be talking now, except she's being spoken to her. And it's still kind of jarring. ]
Can I ask -- ?
What is older me like?
[ Although she is a little afraid to know for certain. What if it falls short of her hopes? She wants to believe she's a stronger person in the future. ]

[Lenalee isn't entirely sure what to say, but smiles at the innocent question.]
You're a very nice person. You're good at diffusing difficult situations, and bringing different people together. You… sometimes talk about things that other people aren’t comfortable talking about, and manage to bring things out of other people.
I’m… I’m glad to know you.
[Her smile turns a little awkward here, saying things like that to someone who doesn't even know her, but is no less genuine.]

[ INSERT INCOHERENCY. ]

[ That's the last thing in the world that Chrome ever expected to hear. She's never been good at diffusing situations; actually, if anything, she tends to piss some people off just by being around. And bringing people together? Really? Her? Is this woman being honest?
Though she she looks sincere.
When Chrome replies, she manages an awkward smile of sorts. ]
Lenalee-san is nice.
Reply
[She returns the smile, unsure of what else to say.]
Let me know if you need any help with anything, okay? If it doesn't wear off, maybe we could try going to the library and seeing if there are any records of things like this happening.
