Has Sasarai still not returned?


[Raine]
How are you feeling? Has there been any improvement?


[Jade and Dist]
I need to speak with you. The both of you. It's recently come to my attention that this cannot be avoided any longer. You two can either visit me together, or give your stories seperately.

[Considering it's such a nice day outside, Gelda has taken a chair and is sitting in the shade in front of house #27. She found an interesting book in the library to waste some time with. You can tell her attention isn't quite on the pages, though. Feel free to bug her, considering she hasn't been around all too much these past few weeks.]

No.

Then I suppose this means the Sasarai we knew will likely not return. Once a resident has been gone for a long amount of time, the chances of them retaining their memories of Luceti are slim.

[broken-messiah.livejournal.com]

... is that so?

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

I've heard of a few instances where the returned could still remember and the fact that Sasarai died rather than left may play a part in this matter, but...

... only a very small number of those returned... keep their memories... I know that... [And yes, he is thinking of Lute...]

Maybe... they've just kept his for experiments...?

[wise_maiden]

Hm? Ah... yes, I'm just fine now, Gelda. I'm sorry for worrying you.

[Locked]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

That's quite alright. It's good to hear you've recovered.

[wise_maiden]

I'm just thankful everyone was willing to be so patient. Though regardless, it's hardly a matter that needs to be spoken over these books.

[Locked]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

I am well aware of that. I simply wanted to make sure you haven't been straining yourself again. So were you affected by the experiment this time?

[Locked]

[wise_maiden]

A bit. Voluntary seclusion does come in handy when it comes to situations like that.

[Oh snap. Considering the circumstances, Jade has a feeling what this might be about.]

...Very well. I will come to your apartment. Dist can do as he pleases.

[Locked]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

I will be waiting for you, Jade.

[Quite some time later, there is a knock on Gelda's door.]

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[Gelda answers the door with a smile. Let's keep this talk as pleasant as possible, shall we?]

Glad you could make it.

[Action]

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

I apologize for the delay.

What do we need to speak about?

[Locked]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

... About how you and Jade spent your time after I was gone.

[Locked]

[baranodist.livejournal.com]

...Of course.

Shall I come to your house, then?

[Locked]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

That would be best. I'll prepare a pot of tea for you.

[Locked]

[baranodist.livejournal.com]

Then I'll be there shortly.

[Are you reading? How the heck do you do that.]

[... Oh, there's a wolf staring at her. Its white fur reminds her of the creatures one might see near Keterburg and she smiles kindly.]

Hello there.

[Action]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[She's been spotted! Oh well. Ammy stands and wags her tail. Hello there! How's it going?]

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[Gelda hesitates for a second, then holds out her hand to the wolf. It has Filial wings and doesn't seem like a vicious monster, so it should be safe.]

It's alright. You can come over here.

[Action]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[This old trick, huh? Well then, Ammy steps closer and sniffs at Gelda's hand, then gives it a lick. You smell very nice. Ammy approves!]
