~ 27 [Action]

[silverworld]

[After a rude awakening in the barracks by Simon to discover the village is slowly patching itself up, Gelda's heading back to house #27 to check up on her housemates- Both the temporary ones and the usual. There's something strange going on today, that much is certain, but she can't quite put her finger on it just yet.

Of course, those who're familiar with Gelda will realize she looks a bit odd herself. She's wearing something similar to an army uniform and seems a bit more fit than usual. Feel free to run into her while she's heading home and ask her about this strange attire.

When she gets home, the first thing she'll do is check up on Nephry, Dist and Anise. If there is something strange going on, they may be affected as well.]

[Well, Dist always was more in-tune with his feminine side. He wasn't afraid to flaunt what he had, and especially not now as a woman. She smiled a little to the compliment and cut out the modeling quickly enough.]

I should look for some proper foot wear, though. I don't think you can help me there, Professor. But I simply must thank you for the clothing. D-Do you think this will last at all? Assuming...it is an experiment.

Assuming this is an experiment... It should last for a week. Though I'm uncertain if it truly is the result of a Shift, or another side-effect of the incidents that took place these past few weeks.

Mm, I was thinking the same thing, Professor. With everything that has occurred recently, I wouldn't be surprised if this was just another mark to add to the list of grievances.

If you don't mind my asking, however, what do you recall last now? For...curiosity's sake.

[She's silent, for a moment. The last thing she recalls... She already fears the answer may be, but she has to ask to be certain.]

What I recall last before I was taken to Luceti, you mean?

Correct. [She hesitates for a moment, then pushes up her glasses and quickly mumbles out.] Do not feel obligated to answer, Professor Nebilim. I-If you'd rather not...

[Dist is very well aware of painful memories.]

[She shakes her head, putting on a slight smile. Even so, her fingers start toying with the cloth of her uniform uneasily.]

I was in Daath. The Oracle Knights had developed a new Fontech device and were in the process of testing it. Things... didn't exactly go as planned and a nearby building caught fire. [That's all she's willing to say on the matter. She's still not entirely sure herself what happened after that. She remembers going in there and she remembers the flames, but...]

[The air gets thick with a tense silence before Dist nods. Oracle Knights? The Professor joined the Oracle Knights?! And...a fire. Another accident. Was she really destined to perish, regardless of whatever path she chose?]

I...I see. I apologize for making you recollect that.

[She simply shakes her head again.]

It's fine. Memories are nothing to fear and Oracle Knights simply have a hectic job to tend to. You were in the Order yourself- Rather, you were, in my memories. I'm not certain if it still applies to you now.
