12th Screw - Video/Action

[Video; unfiltered]

Um... now that everyone is out of the hospital, I was curious.  Did anyone else remember something extra?  I still have a memory that I know isn't one of mine, and I'm pretty sure it didn't belong to the person whose memories I had during everything that happened.  If anyone knows anything about this, please call me back.  I've been worried about it, and I'd feel a lot better knowing it wasn't just me.

I wanted to apologize to you personally for the way I was acting before.  I know it wasn't my fault, but I feel really bad about the way I talked to you and how I was behaving.  Even if I had someone else's memories at the time, I still wasn't acting like a very good friend, and I'm really sorry.  I hope you'll forgive me.

[She bows her head very sincerely, frowning worriedly and looking all kinds of contrite.]

[This next call is going to be awkward no matter how she does it, so Nano decides to just be direct.]

Xion-san, I still have your coat.  I thought you'd probably want it back.  If you can bring the clothes I gave you too, I was planning to do some laundry this weekend...

Um!  I'll make some tea and cookies to share, so if you want to come over, I'll be around all day.

[Action; Friday evening; Castle of Departure]

[Nano's seen this place before - it's pretty hard to miss, looming over the Aquarius District every morning on her way to school.  But it showed up a number of times in the memories she got from Xion, and there's still a few strange lingering memories of things she knew how to do that Nano isn't exactly sure how to deal with, so she's decided to come by and check it out for herself.  Of course, she has no idea that several of her friends actually live here, so she understandably looks a little nervous as she approaches the front gate.]

Do... do I just knock...?

I'm used to it, so I don't think about it much.

[Nano smiles sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck.]

Actually, turning the key on my back makes one of them shoot off my foot like a rocket. You're lucky not to have to worry about it.

[It's weird and embarrassing, but at least Nano can laugh about it a little.]

[poppetstrings]

Yeah, that'd be... really hard to deal with. Especially with what I have to do.

[One of her limbs falling off in the middle of a fight... Not a good thing.]

[all_wound_up]

Thankfully, everyone here has been very polite about not touching it without asking me first. I was really worried about that when I first came here.

[But enough of that.]

Anyway... um, I know I don't have a keyblade of my own, but I've been here for a while and I have a lot of experience using Personas, so if you want I can come with you sometimes to support you while you fight.

[poppetstrings]

[Support? It's happened rarely, sure, that she'd be sent out with another one of the members, but... Constant help? Well, it's not like she can say no to it.]

I don't think I've used a persona once since I came here. [Maybe she should. But she likes bashing things with her keyblade more. Those things being heartless. Would a Persona even work on collecting their hearts?]

I'd be grateful for the help, but... I should probably teach you first, shouldn't I?

[all_wound_up]

Most people get their Personas in the middle of a fight. Usually when it's something too strong to beat alone.

[Which is part of why she wants to help, really.]

You're right, though - maybe we should wait until I've had a few lessons first. That way I won't get in the way during the real thing.

[poppetstrings]

[Too strong to beat alone? She's only encountered something like that once, and she counts herself lucky to still be 'alive' after running into that fake.]

When do you want too?

[all_wound_up]

I'll need to find a sword to practice with first, so I guess after that?

[ooc: Namine's giving her a replica keyblade she has lying around from the last game she was in, so that's already being taken care of. I figure we can do a separate log sometime for the actual training.]

[poppetstrings]

Right. You can let me know whenever and wherever you want to and I'll come.

[all_wound_up]

Okay! Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

[Nano smiles, standing.]

I should probably let you go, though. Feel free to take some cookies with you if you want.

[poppetstrings]

I'm fine, thank you.

[Taking cookies would be too weird, wouldn't it?]

I'll be going now, then.

[all_wound_up]

All right. Take care.

[Smiling and waving!]
