The Amazing Spider Girl! #11 | Away from home too long

[thug_disease]

[There are no mass hijinks on the town today. No drawing on pavement, spinning webs around your porch (oh that's a good idea), destroying your yards or anything of the sort today. Today, as you pass through the park you'll likely happen upon one little blond youkai sitting on a park bench, looking rather frustrated and sad all at the same time

[he stops to pick one of the pieces of paper up before actually approaching her, curious as to what has her in such a frustrated mood.]

-Ah. [he isn't certain whether or not to ask, but in the end the curiosity wins out and he approaches her, holding the rumpled paper out.] Who is this?

[thug_disease]

[Yamame is already diligently working on another drawing, so she doesn't look up when she speaks.]

It's supposed to be Parsee-nee...but...I can't remember her face anymore.

[decadenzas]

[well that's a little alarming... there's a pause, but he's quick to seat himself next to her, mindful enough to give her plenty of room.]

Why is that? Her drone is still around, is it not?

[thug_disease]

No, it's not.

I can't remember it now! Yamame has been here too long!

[decadenzas]

It can't have been that long. [...right? but he doesn't know with certainty, so he quickly adds:] Perhaps you're having even more trouble recalling it than you normally would since you've become so frustrated.

[thug_disease]

[That's pretty much exactly what happened. Still, the fact that Parsee-nee's face was even fading from her memory even the slightest had her very, very frustrated.

What just escaped Yamame's throat is probably the first time anyone's ever heard her growl.]

Yamame is not frustrated!!

[decadenzas]

[and boy does he look a little taken aback by it. from a normally sweet person, that sort of noise just doesn't seem to fit.]

You seem frustrated. Look at how many pages you've gone through. [a gesture to the overflowing bin]

[thug_disease]

Because it's never right!

[decadenzas]

Why don't you take a break for a while and give it another go after that?

[thug_disease]

Because Yamame just wants to draw a picture of Parsee-nee!

[decadenzas]

You're not doing anything but increasing your own frustration right now, isn't that so?

[thug_disease]

Yamame doesn't care! I have to remember.

I have to...

[decadenzas]

Forcing a memory to come to you is just as good as trying to chase it away.

[thug_disease]

If Yamame can't remember now how will I ever remember??

[decadenzas]

[he sighs in a semi-frustrated way, beginning to wonder if the conversation would go nowhere with Yamame so frustrated.]

You've lost things before, yes? An object, some sort of trinket, something like that. Has frustration over being unable to locate a lost object ever helped you to locate said object?

[thug_disease]

[Of course, logic puts things in perspective. Yamame calms down a bit. Now she just looks sad.]

Yamame just wants to remember. Parsee-nee is very important.
