[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.

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.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

Because I remember eating bear meat once. With a bunch of people around a campfire.

That's pretty weird, isn't it?

[twitchyswordhand]

[This is a pause.

It's a long one.]

I...guess. You too?

[blessed_by_the_world]

You mean you have too?

[She's surprised, but laughs.]

I guess it's not as weird as I thought.

[twitchyswordhand]

It's definitely not the worst thing I ever ate. [That said, bear meat. Unsure if want.] It was usually bears or elk or maybe deer...deer was pretty good. Back when I grew up I had worse stuff.

[blessed_by_the_world]

Wow, really?

[She's impressed.]

So then what was the worst thing?

[twitchyswordhand]

It's...

[Post-apocalyptic undefined complicated.]

...dark and tasteless. A cursed scrap of nourishment, the sort that can only eke out in a ruined world. You'll probably sleep better not knowing the details.

[blessed_by_the_world]

Oh....

[A ruined world? That sounds awful. She has no idea what to say to that, but it reminds her that some of the people here came from very scary places.]

[twitchyswordhand]

Yeah. But you know what? [With feeling.] My friends and I are destined warriors, travelling across time to dispel the dark clouds that threaten the sanctity and peace of the past and to prevent that ebon future from ever occurring.

[tl;dr :|b, or (b^ _^)b, and yes, I just used emotes in a tag.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

[Wow. She's impressed.]

That's... amazing! You must be really brave.
