[Voice]

[Past loud static from a battered communicator staggering footsteps can be heard. Seemingly someone's moving with a terrible effort. There's a panting of breath as waves are faintly heard breaking in the background.

It takes a long time for Umi's shocked voice to come in.]

I-I don't get it... Who was she?? That voice

Umi!

Where are you? Where have you been?

[soulofocean]

Presea...

...All this time...?

Being an idiot and following ghosts into the ocean... really.

[pharles_at_life]

The curse yesterday got to you, then... Are you okay?

1/2

[soulofocean]

So it WAS a damn curse. A HORRIBLE one...

[soulofocean]

I'm... not that peachy. But it's okay: Fuu's on her way. She'll get me fixed....

1/2

[pharles_at_life]

To use a mother's voice in that manner... It was awful.

[pharles_at_life]

I wish I would have realized earlier that you'd gone.

[soulofocean]

...No, I should've left you guys a note. Or... know better than to think a walk in this place can't come with any catches.

I'm sorry.

[pharles_at_life]

...It's all right. Just come back with Fuu. We can't help the curses, after all.

[soulofocean]

I will. I won't let it beat me. We'll be there soon.

It's just so confusing... I'm not even sure if this was all the curse's work.

[pharles_at_life]

What else could it be? [If someone else beat you up...]

[soulofocean]

[Wasn't going to say anything but this is starting to freak her out. Besides she's not the type to keep things inside for too long.]

...My memories seem sort of... messed up.

[pharles_at_life]

Messed up? In what way?

[soulofocean]

I'm not sure. That's the tricky part. There are things I think I should remember better, but...

[Sigh.] Maybe it's just me.

[pharles_at_life]

Even if it is just you, Umi, it could be a problem. What are you fuzzy about?

[soulofocean]

Well, for one... this whole thing about my mother. I thought I remembered her better! I should. Shouldn't I...?
