Hello! My name is Shiemi Moriyama and I have a question.

Has anyone suddenly remembered anything weird?

[Has anyone suddenly remembered anything weird is what Shiemi asks on the network and--

oh.

Yes. That's a yes.]

Shiemi-san. Where are you? I'll meet you there so we can talk in person.

[weedlikespirit]

[ Yuki-chan wants to talk in person and Shiemi is standing in the garden of the little house she lives in in Edo holding a cute black collar with a bell she distinctly remembers putting on her Yuki-chan and --

She should probably reply.

It's been three whole minutes forever she read his message. ]

Okay.

[ Is it okay? What if he remembers and thinks she's weird?? ]

I'm at my house in Little Edo. I can send you the address.

[ Wait, should they talk here? Alone?? She's already hit send. ]

[reflash]

[Her house. Shiemi has a house? No, that's not what he needs to be thinking about.]

Thank you.

[They shouldn't talk about... about...

cordis on the network. About how absolutely embarrassing Yukio acted.

And there's no way to know what she remembers, where she was before. There's no way there's only one world like the one he remembers being in before he was here.]

ACTION

[weedlikespirit]

[ It takes her a minute. She actually takes a moment to go double check the address despite that she's fairly certain and... manages to trip and fall, but Shiemi is back up and walking too quickly. She manages to send Yukio the address to her house and then, she isn't entirely sure what to do. The collar is is still in her hand and Nee is concerned, asking after her from his position atop her head, and she isn't entirely sure it's okay.

Yuki-chan (my Yuki-chan, her brain corrects, and Shiemi nearly goes down again) replied, so that means he remembers, doesn't it? But.. what, exactly?

There's Cordis and S.. Sanguis and there's... more. There's a lot more and she winds up sitting in the garden. Her cheeks are burning and her chest aches and her head is starting to spin. ]

[reflash]

[He gets there eventually, was already heading towards her while waiting for her address but it still takes a few minutes.

And there she is, looking kind of overwhelmed in that bright red, stalled out way she gets sometimes and it gets a little smile from him, even though he feels just as overwhelmed as she looks.]

Shiemi-san, are you... [and then he sees what's in her hand and his own cheeks flare as red as hers] all right...

[weedlikespirit]

[ She jolts upon being addressed by that familiar voice, blinking back into a now that seems too confusing in the midst of this already strange recovery. Turning her head to look at Yukio, who she's surprised to see despite that she was expecting him because she really hadn't meant to sit there so long, she clutches the collar and her free fist. ]

Y-Yuki-chan! I --

[ She's following his gaze to the collar in her hand. Is it possible to be any redder than she is? It is. That red spreads across the rest of her face, ears. ]

U-um! Th-that is, I-I, um...!

[ The bell rings and she snaps her gaze up at him. ]

[reflash]

[He's red, burning with something he can only tentatively describe as embarrassment as he looks at her, as her eyes suddenly meet his.]

I think it's.... um. safe to say we remember the same "weird" thing.

[weedlikespirit]

[ She needs to calm down. She needs to calm down and take a breath, but that's so much easier thought than accomplished in this moment. She'd called it weird, but did Yuki-chan think it was weird?

Does he think she's weird now?? ]

Um, y-yes. I... only just remembered it today when I found it in the garden.

[ It, the collar she'd put on him. Her face is so hot right now. ]

[longsilence]

What counts as weird?

[weedlikespirit]

[ She didn't think this through. She didn't think this through at all. H-how can she tell anyone about something like the collar she's clutching in her hand that she put it on Yuki-chan in the a.. partment they lived in t-together a-and --

Yeah, it'll be at least a half hour with a little additional processing before she replies and she's still very flustered. ]

Um, like remembering another world weird. Not the world where I'm from, but a different one, I think, where things happened.

[ "Things"... ]

[longsilence]

[THINGS.

........yeah, Kiki doesn't get it.]

Like another time loop or dream?

[weedlikespirit]

I don't think so. I don't remember anything like the time loop I experienced before I came here. It wasn't a dream either. At least, I don't think it was.

I found something from that place here, so.

[ It was definitely real, wasn't it? All that... ]

[longsilence]

[An item from another world...? Hmmm, that creates some concerning possibilities, but it makes sense. If they could be brought here, then items showing up aren't impossible.]

Do you want those new memories to stay with you?

If not, I suggest throwing out the item.

[disasdeer]

For example? You suddenly started to remember something you didn't have before? Like a place?

[weedlikespirit]

Yes, a place!

[ A place, that's something she can focus on that isn't the collar in her hand and the tinkling bell attached to it. ]

It was another world, but it was different from this Nippon.

[disasdeer]

Then yes. I was somewhere that wasn't home before I got here. They called it Lunatia, and people got animal parts or turned into animals sometimes.

[hopticulture]

What do you mean? Like a bad or embarrassing memory?

[weedlikespirit]

Something like that, yes, but there's more than one memory. It's like I'm remembering living somewhere completely different, I think, and I didn't remember anything before now.

[hopticulture]

I'm...afraid I don't really understand. It sounds a bit convoluted.

There've been times where I've forgotten something that happened to me in the past, but then something makes me remember and it all comes rushing back, but it's usually something embarrassing I've done as a kid. Sorry I can't be of any help...

[grilletto]

yeah i think you're going to have to define what you mean by something weird

[weedlikespirit]

[ Excuse her a minute. She's looking at the collar with the bell on it in her hand, then looking back at the screen. It's a good thing this isn't some sort of video call because she's inventing new shades of red. ]

Um, well... about that! Um.

[ UM. ]

It was something with someone somewhere else. Like, in another world like this one, but it was different!

[ She really, really did not think this through. ]

[grilletto]

yeah that still doesn't really answer the question
like something you did or what?
or do you just mean memories from another place?

un: yourusername

[terribletwos]

what do you mean by weird

i haven't suddenly remembered anything though.

[weedlikespirit]

Like something with another person!

[ Does that sound anything other than innocent? Shiemi doesn't think to question it at all, but then, she's also already extremely flustered considering what she initially meant by "weird". Thinking about it, though, there was more to it than just that. Where they had been was... ]

We were in a different world than this one. It was different from home, too. You haven't remembered anything like that?

[terribletwos]

how does another person being there make it weird

[ Roxas' version of weird dreams usually involve memories of another life or another self entirely. Just having another person in the dream seems pretty normal to him. ]

no, i haven't remembered anything like that. what was this different world like
