[Completely oblivious to what she just did. Also mun is totally sorry cause she didn't realize what she'd just typed and to who till she hit send.]
Yes I just got here. The last thing I remember I was talking to a cat with a very pretty soul and then there was a-a music box I think? I've never traveled by music box before. I wonder how it all works. . . oh perhaps! [all that can be heard is uninteligable mumbling about rune circles, and wormholes, before Ash realizes she was still talking to someone.]
Oh, I'm sorry. I got a bit distracted. I'm Ashlin [There is a slight pause before she adds.] It's nice to meet you.
[She is hoping she doesn't mess up. She always messes up and then people see the wrongness about her that makes everyone go away. She wishes she knew what it was but she doesn't so she can't fix it, can never fix it.]
[Yay~ Haha I seriously head-desked the moment afterwards.]
[Ash begins to smile thinking she had done something right until Sakura mentions the cat.]
I. . . yes I was talking to him though he wasn't talking back. He meowed a bit though so he was a least polite enough to pay attention to what I was saying. He did have a very pretty soul though, even if the poor thing was a little dirty. He seemed hungry too, he really did devour the sandwich I gave him. Or perhaps he just liked tuna a lot. Fresh tuna is always good, I wonder if I will be able to find any sushi here.
[She is rambling now, and can't stop herself. Ashlin is resigned to the fact that in this new place she's in she is already making people think she is insane again.]
I was always happy when the head chef cooked for us, even when I get hungry all of a sudden in the middle of the night... [ She laughs a bit. ] so I think that cat appreciated Ashlin's kindness a lot! [ And Sakura really believes so. ]
Sushi is a food from Nihon, right? Oh, other people call that place Japan.
[Ash blinks slowly unsure how to take Sakura's comment. She wonders for a moment if she is being mocked, Ash can never tell, but there is something in Sakura's voice that makes her believe her. Ashlin smiles brightly realizing she hasn't scared Sakura away.]
Ah I. . . Thank you. [It's said softly though one should still be able to hear what was said.]
Yes sushi is a Japanese food. I quite like it though you have to be careful where you buy it from since its raw and raw fish can make you sick. I ate bad sushi once and it wasn't very pleasant at all.
Ah! Kurogane-san says you have to dip it in... "soy sauce" and "wasabi"? To make it taste better. I think it's delicious. The place I'm from is a huge desert, so we don't get food like that often.
[Ash begins to nod happily, forgetting that this what ever it is like a phone.]
Soy sauce is really good, but wasabi is very spicy so not everybody likes to use it.
Are you really from a desert? I visited a desert once but I can't imagining living there. I always see to get sand everywhere just going to a beach. I'm from a city, so there are lots of foods to try, though I got to try quite a few different ones when I was traveling.
Yes, I am. I guess it's a little difficult when there's little water around, but we can manage. Clow is a prosperous place! Ashlin was a traveler, too? Where did you go?
I spent some time traveling to different countries. Mostly in Europe though I went to South America and Africa too. I wanted to see the world but I . . . I was also trying to find something. Information, really or a person maybe. I'm not really all that sure what I was looking for other than that I'd know it when I found it.
That sounds a little like what Syaoran-kun did during his travels. I've never heard of those places, but I'm sure he'd like to see them.
I've been to a lot of places! Koryo, Jade, Outo, Shara, Piffle... Hanshin, too, but I was barely awake then. My friends and I are searching for something, too.
Hmmm I've never heard of the places you've been to either but then I've never heard of Splendor before and here I am. There must be lots of places I don't know about, but I'd like to see them all the same.
[Whispering to herself.] I wonder if I could find my answers in any of them. . .
[She tilts her head slightly before asking.] Do you know what it is you're looking for Sakura?
I do. They're my memories. [ Pause. ] Um, it's a long story! I lost them, so now we're traveling to different worlds to get them back. One of them might be here, too.
[Before she can say anything else she remembers what she'd said early about forgetting, and feels her stomach drop. She wants to apologize but isn't sure how to do so.]
[pause]
If. . .if they're is anything I can do to help please tell me. [She is hesitant, but if people here can travel by music box and Sakura is traveling to collect lost memories then maybe it is safe to say this here.] I can do some magic.
[She prays she hasn't made a mistake. She doesn't want to have to go back to the doctors, or be put on medication again. She doesn't like the medicine.]
Ah. Hello! [ Sakura nods her head. ] Do you know anyone named Chey, miss? Or Elizabeth?

No, I don't think I do. If I did I hope I haven't forgotten that would be rather terrible. No one likes being forgotten after all.

Thank you, anyway. Um, I'm Sakura! You've just arrived, right?

Perhaps...? [ She tilts her head until Ashlin apologizes and introduces herself. ]
Ah! It's alright. It's nice to meet you, too! Um, you said you were talking to a cat?
