6th Memory [Video][Future-dated to the morning of the 22nd]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[When Sayo finally sits up from her place in the forest, she isn't sure what's happened. She'd been unconscious-'asleep'-and now upon rising she finds her mind is sluggish and trying to catch up with her situation. Brief flashes of a robotic form... being dragged away... and then, it seems, blackness. Little still-frames of cells and strange men in

[ voice INTO ACTION 8| ]

[one_green_eye]

Sayo-san... [oh, he's been listening for that voice. Even during the draft-- and he starts heading out the door before hearing a reply]

Are you alright?

Re: [ voice INTO ACTION 8| ] 1/2

[whats_a_sneeze]

I think so. [She bows her head, looking over herself. Nothing but scrapes and bruises from their rough handling.] I feel a little strange... I think I-maybe tired?

[She can't remember what that feels like.

But was it always so slow and sluggish?]

Re: [ voice INTO ACTION 8D ]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[And as she's leaned forward in her thoughts, a long trail of Kagedama begin to creep out of her ear, huddling in a ball next to her and quietly flickering and shrinking into nothingness, unable to sustain themselves.]

[ action ] SO LATE I'M SORRY

[one_green_eye]

[the green eye widens as his fingers tighten on the journal, staring fixedly at the Kagedama until it vanishes...

so it's still dying. They didn't change that.... He breathes an inward sigh of relief, but his urgency isn't much lessened.]

....Sayo-san... [he tries to judge her placement by the few bits of background he can see, and adjusts his path accordingly]

Re: [ action ] HOW DARE YOU MY RP DRIVE IS RUINED! *RUINED*!!!!

[whats_a_sneeze]

[She looks up quietly from her spot, smiling faintly.]

Ah-there's a building; I can see the top of it. Do you recognize it, Ginko-san?

[She points her journal toward the distant, almost hidden roof of Community Housing 6, the lens shaking faintly from the cold.]

Re: [ action ] D8 /throws self off cliff

[one_green_eye]

I do. [crunch crunch crunching snow suggests as much]

-- you aren't hurt, are you? Sometimes they do things....

Re: [ action ] but then your tags will be late. :'(

[whats_a_sneeze]

No, I think I'm okay-just a little numb in the legs. [She shakily shifts and puts a hand on her calf; she's in a white robe that reminds her of her first day here, at Luceti.] They stuck something sharp in my arm, I think. I fell asleep after that... and then I was here!

Re: [ action ] won't be a notable difference DX

[one_green_eye]

[just a grunt, in response, and he slips the book half shut between two fingers-- disappearing between the pages for a moment as he shifts off his coat] Shout if you see me. I should be getting close to where you are.

Re: [ action ] Any difference matters to me!! :')

[whats_a_sneeze]

[No worries there, Ginko. Sayo's only real troubles is getting out of this hideous winter weather. By the time she spots the dark of his jacket in-between distant trees, she's managed to lean against whatever tree's managed to be in her path-her legs are starting to regain a little feeling, and with that, she'd managed to cross a few minutes worth of space.

She waves toward the figure.]

Ginko-san!

[Not gonna bother with a 'is that you'. Your hair gives you away, man.]

Re: [ action ]

[one_green_eye]

Hey. [he approaches quickly, face serious as a compromise lighter than outright displeasure. But he smiles when he's closer, and hands her his coat. Stupid Malnosso. If you're going to bother to make it winter....] Here-- it's freezing.

Re: [ action ]

[whats_a_sneeze]

...It's good to see you, Ginko-san.

[She reaches out to the coat, still smiling, because-it's nice to see a familiar face. Not just 'see', but to actually be in front of someone who's not one of them. She breathes a sigh mixed with relief and exhaustion, and draws her hand back.]

Ah-but you won't have one, then....

Re: [ action ]

[one_green_eye]

[a FROWN that makes it clear he isn't standing for argument] And I'll still be warmer than you are. [looks her over, sternly. Well. Sternly for Ginko.] You're sure you feel alright?

Re: [ action ]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[She nods. Just a few scrapes and bumps, Ginko-less than the usual, from the Malnosso.]

I'm fine. Just tired, really; though, it certainly hasn't felt like I've been gone for more than a week...

[Lying, just a little. Time seemed to move slowly there, it felt. Normally, she was used to forgetting so much-time was just one of those things that she usually lost track of.

But not this time.

Perhaps it was fear, motioning the Kagedama to consume less and less over the time she'd been gone.]

But I'm fine.

Re: [ action ]

[one_green_eye]

[He suspects it, but his expression is neatly veiled. Cautioning-] Sometimes the effects take a while to reveal themselves.

-- but hopefully you're right. In any case [he flicks the end of his scarf over his shoulder] ...you're probably hungry, too, hm?

Re: [ action ]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[She nods, unsteadily slipping the jacket on and stumbling her way through the snow to start moving. She's fairly determined to get herself walking on her own accord, now that the numbness is slowly draining from her thighs and knees.]

Oh yes, I could do with something to eat; perhaps I'll stop by the store and get a few things-ah, I hope I didn't forget to put anything in the refrigerator. That would have been such a waste of food...

[The combination of seeing a familiar face and being stuck in icy weather's made her a bit of a rambler.]

Re: [ action ]

[one_green_eye]

You didn't. [a slightly wry smile. You had him and Sanji to check, but he won't say so directly. He looks at her sidelong] -- and you shouldn't go out again if you aren't feeling up to it. [replete with unspoken offer to get some]
