22nd Memory [Voice/Action!]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Sayo had no idea what a mask was, or what Halloween was... or what shifts are. It'd been so long since the last one, she'd literally erased it from memory. At this point, she's barely even aware of what the Malnosso are... But this 'mask' thing, it was all over the place in the item shops. And when she went home, she found one sitting on her small

[She will come across one unhappy looking man, staring at the Moon, vaguely visible even in the day, with a look of concern. He does not know what it means, but it certainly bodes ill. Of that he is certain.]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[... Oh. Well. That's a person. At least Sayo knows that much. Compelled by some strange will, she tosses aside any hesitation to stand next to him, looking up to the strange moon herself.]

....

What is it?

['What is wrong' or 'What is a moon', who knows.]

[gerudoking]

[He glances down at the woman, sneering slightly at her.]

Is it not obvious? The Moon has been cursed.

[whats_a_sneeze]

[... Huh...

She keeps her eye on it, from behind her mask, eyes full of confusion. And perhaps some awe, in the face of... whatever the hell was going on with that moon there.]

Cursed by what?

[gerudoking]

Our captors, no doubt. [He finds himself staring at that mask though. Curious and curiouser.]

You are also wearing a mask...

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Hm? She reaches up, touching her face--or rather, her mask, which she hadn't much noticed. That's right, that's not a normal thing, is it? Or isn't it? He makes it sound like it's a bad thing...]

I suppose I am... I'm not really sure where it came from...

[...]

I'm not sure about a lot of things. Where am I?

[gerudoking]

[Well. This is going to be tedious, isn't it.]

Luceti. Clearly you must know that by now.

[whats_a_sneeze]

[She shakes her head, unsure.]

I don't remember. Have I... always been here?

[gerudoking]

You are asking the wrong person, miss. We have never met. Regardless, you are trapped here.

[whats_a_sneeze]

Trapped... I see. [Well, that's not good. She puts a hand to her head. This is all just so confusing...] I don't remember coming here... Do you remember how you got here?

[gerudoking]

Against my will, by powers beyond my own. [He snorts, glaring back down at her.] Perhaps that mask has something to do with your confusion.

[whats_a_sneeze]

[She puts a hand on the mask, though... for some reason, the compulsion is not to take it off. She looks over to him, resisting the urge to put a hand out and touch his arm.]

You think so? Do they have the ability to do strange things like that?

[gerudoking]

Perhaps. Give me a moment, perhaps I can remove it.

[He moves his hand forward to try and take the mask.]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[dsfjsdlfkj-

She's not sure why, but she wants to stop him. For some reason, she wants this mask; her hand reaches up and touches his as she pulls back a bit, surprised.]

Wait-

[gerudoking]

[The moment she touches his hand, he backs up, suddenly startled. What just happened?]

... you. [... this woman...]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Ah

She draws back, alarmed, confused. Did she do something wrong?]

Are you okay? What's wrong??
