02 ☼ Video/Action

[Yuuna had been living a relatively easy life compared to some of the other residents in Luceti, still bearing the idea of 'it won't happen to me.' Until it finally did, and in the midst of the early morning of the 15th she disappeared from Luceti. Thankfully, she was returned no less than a day later, no worse for the wear, but pretty shaken up by the whole ordeal. Her body hurt a little, but it was nothing she couldn't handle.

Returning home sometime in the morning of the 16th, she enters House 44 very much wide awake, telling herself she needs to go look for something to eat. Not for long, as she moves on from there without even starting to look for any food, standing with a blank look on her face until she decides to go upstairs instead. But when she gets upstairs, she stops outside her room, looking around with a confused look, before she heads back downstairs and into the living room where she finally sits.

And even then, she's not sure why she even went in there in the first place.]

Video:

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I used this, but I just needed to ask some of you that...

[But her voice trails off, looking at the camera with a blank look.]

Well um, I guess I had a brain fart or something, it was on the tip of my tongue. Hold on, I'm sure I'll think of it. [How embarrassing. She thinks for a second, turning away- then looks back, in surprise.]

This thing is on?

Action:

[Yuuna's about town, doing errands, or at least trying to. She heads to the grocery store, where she puts down her basket and completely forgets about it, then the bakery where she decides she wants to get a cake for dessert for dinner, only to start to walk away without it in hand after she's already had it prepared and sitting up on the counter ready to be taken. She'll also be found wandering about the square, not really sure as to where she was headed in the first place.

Later she can be found helping out at Mythoria Café, formerly known as Cloud Nine, chatting it up with some folks. And of course she can be found at House 44, doing the normal Yuuna things- if she gets to them. Some of her chores are left half done, or not even started. She hasn't even finished making dinner, and things are starting to boil over on the stove, and other kitchen disasters commence.]

Oh... [She takes the basket, smiling.] I almost forgot it, thanks. You really don't need to help, I can get it, promise. Come on, let's go home.

[And she starts heading in the very opposite direction of the exit. Where was the exit anyway...?]

I'd like to anyway.

[Saori smiles and falls into step beside her fiance, gently nudging her the proper direction. This needed investigation.]

So, fish tacos and spanish rice? We should have the pepper, I know we have the fish.

[She starts to veer in the right direction with Saori nudging her, looking down isles to see if there was anything else she wanted, just in case.]

Yeah, that sounds really good, let's do that. [She spots the dessert isle, and low and behold, look, there's some mix for brownies, so she beelines to it. Grabbing the box, she looks around, and then just starts off down the isle, without Saori, turning the corner and going down another one.

Like she was never with anyone to begin with.]

[Saori's ready to intercept her, smiling and reaching out to take her by the hand.]

Yuuna dear, we were on our way home. Come along.

[She totally forgets about the box, going along with Saori. She yawns sleepily, as she's had a pretty big day, smiling over to the goddess.]

What do you want to do when we get home? I sort of want to take a nap. I'm a lot more tired than I thought.

[Just in case, Saori grabs that box and drops it in the basket. And firmly slips her arm into Yuuna's. She's done this often enough with Grune to know what's going on.]

Are you now? You'd just talked about cooking dinner, insisting that I let you make it yourself. But it is my turn, and since you're so sleepy, maybe I'll do it and let you have a nap on the couch.

No, no, you don't have to make dinner. I can sneak a quick nap in before I start cooking, there should be plenty of time.

[They talked about cooking dinner?] Don't you dare start for me either, I'll be really angry with you, Saori!

Yuuna-chan. Do you...understand what happened to you?

[She keeps walking, nodding along with that.]

Edited 2014-01-16 23:32 (UTC)

No? I didn't think there was anything wrong but a sore body. [She looks over in confusion.] Did I do something stupid?

No, but your memory? [She squeezes Yuuna's shoulder.] Nothing stupid. Just...your memory is more fleeting than mine can be. What did you want to have for dinner? Can you remember?

Uh... [Her voice trails off. She has absolutely no idea what she wanted for dinner. She barely recalls even talking about it.]

I don't know. Maybe spaghetti?

Look in your basket, Yuuna.

[She points at the taco mix...]

[Looking down, she sees the three boxes of taco mix.]

I guess tacos? I don't remember picking those up at all. Sounds like a good idea though.

Yuuna, dearest. They've taken your memory.

[And that, quite frankly, is frightening.]

Saori, if they did that I wouldn't remember you. I remember everyone here, how long I've been here, where everything is, all of that.

[She understands her concern, but really! She swears her memory isn't gone.]

Not all of your memory. Yuuna, what did you plan on making for dinner tonight?

[She blinks a few times.]

I made plans for that?

Exactly my point. Your short term memory is gone.

[Oh well, that...that's probably true, because she doesn't remember even meeting up with Saori here at the store.]

It is, isn't it...um...

[Cue a half panic mode, since now she's not sure how she's even going to be able to function as a normal human being.]

How long do these things last again? [Asking for the short thirty seconds of peace of mind that she'll get from the answer.]

[Saori smiles as reassuringly as she can, wrapping an arm around her partner's shoulder and taking the basket.]

A week or so.

[She leans closer and squeezes just slightly.]

Darling. You've taken care of me when I had no memory. I'll take care of you. You'll want for nothing and everything will be fine. Don't worry. It's...just a little role reversal.

[A week. Her face shows a little discouragement, but it could be a lot worse.]

With my memory not working like this, I'm going to be a huge pain. [She sighs.] I'll try not to ask for much. I'm sorry Saori, but this sort of sucks.

[She gently nudges Yuuna. Yes, it could be worse.]

No you're not. You're just going to need a little extra attention. And don't tell me you don't like it when I do things for you.

I do, but that doesn't mean I want to be a burden on you. It's one thing to try to trick you to getting me ice cream late at night, but it's another to have to force you to be around for a whole week because of me.

Though...no matter whether I remember or not, I do like ice cream at any time.

[Wink?]

It's fine, really. It'll be like the old days. Except hopefully you won't have the nightmares I did. I don't think I'd know how to manage as well as you.

[Wink.]

And of course, there's a reason we have a freezer full of it.

[Grinning back at the ice cream comment, she continues on.] I guess I can't count out the nightmares yet. We'll have to wait and see, huh? You'll cuddle with me if I do, won't you?

[She's sure she won't, Saori had a much rougher time than she thinks she's even capable of having in that department.]
