(Case 04: Childhood)

[katsuragi_yako]

[ A younger Yako blinks up at the sphere she activated, wearing a summery looking dress just about a size too large. She really had tried to be prepared for this - not that she remembers. She clears her throat, looking suspicious, and then looks down at a piece of paper she's holding. ]Hi. I'm Yako Katsuragi, and I know some of the people here

Kittie!!

[katsuragi_yako]

[ OH GEEZ - she takes a step back because she wasn't expecting what the not she supposedly wrote herself to be entirely real. There was her first face in the sphere! Too weird. ]

I think it's called 'Zuka. Want to pet it?

[ not that she knows... how you will throught he sphere. BUT YOU COULD. ]

[conniving_flame]

I can't pet it now! I'm a hollow gram.

[this isn't a very smart girl. but Axel is nice and won't inform her of this; besides, KITTY. Axel waves through the sphere]

Hi Zuka! My name's Axel.

[katsuragi_yako]

Of course not. I was just offering for later.

[ she shifts the cub around, and it's batting at her chin. the cub does look at the sphere and then tries to bat at it, too, which is almost a wave back to Axel. Almost! ]

[conniving_flame]

Oh. Okay! I'll come by later! [nevermind he doesn't know where she lives.

And the swat is good enough for Axel. He giggles in delight and waves again before figuring he should be polite]

What's you're name? Yako?

[katsuragi_yako]

Okay. I guess that's fine.

[ as the cub proceeds to gnaw on it's own paw for a moment, she nods; ]

Yeah, I'm Yako. And you're Axel? Nice to meet you, Axel.

[conniving_flame]

[leans back at last, bouncing up and down lightly on the bed while giving her a weird look]

You're really polite! Almost like Zexion.

[katsuragi_yako]

[ she looks curious. ]

Zexion? I haven't met anyone with that name, yet. [ she offers a smile. ] My Dad always told me that politeness is important, especially with new people. My teachers sai the same.

[conniving_flame]

He's likes veggies and reads too much, but he's my best friend!

Really? .. What's a teacher?

[katsuragi_yako]

[ she grins ] You have a best friend here? That's great! I have one back at home, and I don't think she's here right now.

You don't know what a teacher is? [ her eyes are almost comically large ] Are you home-schooled?

[conniving_flame]

Uh-huh! I met him yesterday. We're gonna play hide-and-seek later.

Yours is back home...? [home... it's a word Axel hasn't thought about, and now that he does, he's biting his lip and frowning]

I can't remember home. I can't remember anything.

[katsuragi_yako]

Hide-and-seek's really fun! If you're good at hiding.

Yeah, back home in Japan. [ she frowns to see Axel frown, then offers him a smile. ]

Maybe you just don't remember yet! If you can't remember anything, then you should start making new things to remember. Mom says we need to live more in the present, because that's where the best news is!
