[Video/Action/Text] Memory event- switched with Robin from Fire Emblem

[blessed_by_the_world]

{{Video- the 18th}}

[It's not unusual in and of itself to suddenly remember something that you haven't thought of in forever. But some of the things Akane has been recalling lately are a little... strange. Because who would forget having eaten bear meat? It wasn't bad or anything, just.... she feels like it's the sort of thing she'd remember. She hasn't realized anything strange is going on yet, so her tone is more casually curious than concerned.]

Hey, I've got a question for everyone. What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?



{{Action- the 21st(Ichiban Market) }}

[Nano and Nik have been preoccupied recently. Actually, the whole city seems to be pretty weird lately. At any rate, it's a slow day for grocery shopping and Akane is booored. Which isn't all that unusual, but she is finding some unusual ways to pass the time. For a while, she's reading a thick book about military strategy that she got from the library. She's having an easier time reading than she expected and never realized how interesting this sort of thing was. But then... didn't she used to do something like this?

No, thats silly! A kid in elementary school wouldn't be marching around with an army.... right? So then why does she remember it so clearly?

Later on, she's in the canned food aisle. Most of the cans have been pulled from the shelves and set up on the floor. Using similarly colored labels, she's set up two opposing armies. Part of it is to better visualize what's in the book. Changing their positions around, creating terrain out of carboard boxes and other objects, she's got the makings of a pretty interesting strategy game here. But something doesn't seem quite right... Shouldn't there be more different kinds of units? She's gazing at her mock battlefield with a thoughtful frown...]



{{Text- the 23rd}}

[Now that she has some idea what's going on, she really wants to talk to the person who has her memories. The question is how to find them. Text seems to be the best method. And because she doesn't want to reveal too much of the other person's memories on a public network,(it wouldn't be fair) she'll need to be a little vague.]

I want to talk to the person who got my memories. If you used to be in a big army full of guys with swords and people who could do magic and the name Grima means anything to you, please text me back.

Thanks.

[The problem with trying that is that it's... extra vague. And the fact that that person came with a few of her comrades. Many of whom are also getting their memories mixed up with other peoples'.

whooooops anyway mentioning THAT NAME means she has to meet this person, right? You don't just not remember the apocalyptic despair dragon, that would be silly.]

Where can we meet?

[blessed_by_the_world]

Would one of the greenhouse rooms in the apartments be okay?
I don't care which floor.

[She's honestly surprised to get a response so quickly. Too bad she really didn't think this through ]

[operationbox]

11th floor of Pisces, then?

[Or was it 9th...? Well, she's headed to 11th.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

Okay.

[And she'll head right there, eager to get some answers.]

[operationbox]

[But when she opens the door, waiting for her is...

huh? She was expecting someone unfamiliar-looking but this is a little girl!]

...You... are the person that posted about Grima, right?

[blessed_by_the_world]

Yes...

[Akane doesn't even know what she was expecting. But Io seems entirely too... normal.]

Were you... were you in that army?

[operationbox]

I can remember it, but at the same time...

...it doesn't feel right. None of those memories have you in them.

[And Akane seems a bit young to Io for that, as well.]

[video]

[otakuro]

Hah, there've been a lot of strange things in the past... I'll eat just about anything! I know this isn't too exotic, but I swear this 'Mystery Burger' I had once still had something wriggling around in it...

Anyway, straight-out, I think most people think shirako is pretty weird.

[video]

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She wrinkles her nose in exaggerated disgust.]

Eww! I don't think I'd eat anything that was still wiggling!

I never had shirako though. Is it good?

[otakuro]

[Atsuro gives a small shrug.]

It's alright, I guess. ...Pretty expensive, though. I wouldn't have it again unless you offered it to me for free.

...What brought this up? Are you looking for something new to try here?

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She grins.]

Expensive food isn't always the best anyway.

[In response to his question, she shakes her head.]

Nothing like that. I just.... today I remembered trying bear meat once. I'm not sure how I forgot something like that in the first place though...

[otakuro]

...Bear meat?

Was that good?

Honestly, it seems like something you'd remember on and off, though. I don't usually think about shirato in my spare time, either...

[blessed_by_the_world]

It was okay. A lot of the other people there didn't like it though.

[otakuro]

...Was this some sort of bear meat... party?

18th, video

[demifemme]

Shura you should really think about putting a shirt on on the video feed, you give the wrong impression.

"I've eaten raw demons before to survive. Can I say it's kind of a relief to be here?"

18th, video

[blessed_by_the_world]

That sounds awful! Were they like the demons here?

Re: 18th, video

[demifemme]

"Pretty much, yeah. When it's that or starvation, though..."

18th, video

[blessed_by_the_world]

I guess there'd be no choice.... But it's a good thing you don't have to do that anymore.

18th, so timely.

[twitchyswordhand]

My friend's cooking. She's pretty bad.

18th

[blessed_by_the_world]

That's not very nice!

[But she's laughing anyway.]

Was it really that terrible?

[twitchyswordhand]

She...er...once gave the entire camp food poisoning.

[blessed_by_the_world]

That sounds awful! Maybe she could get cooking lessons?

[twitchyswordhand]

I think her dad tried once. [And it ended in despair.] I mean, she's amazing at other stuff, like wielding weapons-...if she shows up don't tell her I said that. Her name's Kjelle. [Oh, wait.] I'm Owain! Son of legends.

[blessed_by_the_world]

[Hmm, those names actually sound... sort of familiar. But... no. That's silly. She quickly pushes that thought aside.]

It's nice to meet you. I'm Akane.

[twitchyswordhand]

So...why'd you ask? [You know, the original question about weird food.]
