004- [Phone] Is this real life? (50%)

[sablebombay]

[Omi has been having a Very. Bad. Day. One second, he's waking up, anticipating a super fun day filled with barbecues and fireworks. And the next, he's being assailed with images of assassinations and squealing fangirls in a flower shop. Which is silly, because he'd always had such a peaceful life in Mayfield. Right? He shakes his head, trying to

I had a weird dream, but it wasn't really all that bad.

[Yeah, she's blushing.]

Other than that, I feel pretty normal.

[sablebombay]

[He jumps slightly, surprised out of his jumbled thoughts. Oh, it's just Lyon....]

Hey, Sis. Good Morning...

[A dream? That's what he feels like. Except he can't seem to wake up from his dream. Not completely. But let's not worry little sister. Except she's not his sister. The only sister he ever had was Ouka and she's... No, don't think about it. Easier not to.]

[float_like_a]

Are you going to the fireworks later too, Mamoru? Did you find a date?

[sablebombay]

A date? N-no, I just....

[Honestly, dating never when well for any member of Weiss.

........

What the hell was Weiss? No wait.... That was.... he and Ken used to...

Except Ken is his father. Right? No, no that's wrong! Whay is it so hard to remember. He shakes his head as if to clear it.]

I, um.... I might not be going to the fireworks this year....

[float_like_a]

[Lyon frowns, shaking her head.]

It's not good to just sit in your room all the time, you know. You should get out and try to meet more people!

[sablebombay]

I'm, ummm.... not feeling well.

[Technically true....]

And... I think I get out enough.

[He just spends a lot of time playing with his computer. Wait... What's a computer?]

[float_like_a]

Still, though, you could stand to have more friends. The more friends you have, the better. With enough of them, you could even make a miracle happen!

[Wait. Why does that sound familiar? Something about the number 108, and a story her... father? Was it her father that used to tell her that fairy tale when she was a little girl?

No, that's silly. She probably just saw it on TV or something.]

Well, anyway... just try to be more social sometimes, okay?

[sablebombay]

S- sure....

..............................................

Mismar?

[Wait? Was that her name? Of course it was. How could he not know the name of his little sister? But she's not his sister. Unless she is?]

Umm... do you ever get the feeling that something isn't right? In Mayfield, I mean?

[float_like_a]

[And all of a sudden, the color drains out of Lyon's face as she noticeably twitches.]

W-what did you just call me...?

[That memory's buried pretty deeply. She's got some vague sense of 'Mismar' being a name she was called once, but the importance of the name 'Lyon' is one of the last things her mind has held onto in her incomplete droning.]

[sablebombay]

Umm... Your name?

Isn't... isn't that your name?

[He isn't sure. He isn't even sure about his own name.]

[float_like_a]

N-no... I mean, I don't think so. My name is Lyon.

[Though now she sounds like she's trying to convince herself too.]

[sablebombay]

It is?

[Yes! And you're Omi, remember? No, wait....]

But... but I thought....

Then what's my name?

[float_like_a]

...Mamoru, isn't it?

[sablebombay]

But then, but then your name is Mismar. Look.

[He goes over to one of the pictures on the wall, and slides it out of it's frame. Turning it over, he shows her the names written on the back. That's proof, isn't it? Except that the town lies....]

[float_like_a]

[Lyon looks at the pictures for a long time. Just staring down at the name. Eventually, she sort of half falls over, having to catch herself on the door frame.]

I... m-maybe I should lie down for a little while. I'm not feeling so well all of a sudden.

[sablebombay]

Are you okay?

[He hadn't expected such an extreme reaction. So he'd been right, then? He reaches out to steady her.]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.
