[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.]

[Well, Saori had known it would happen eventually. Nobody could escape being kidnapped forever, and all she could do was hope that Yuuna's first abduction wasn't too painful. When Yuuna's soul, marked with the Ban, reappeared in the enclosure, she'd sensed it immediately. That, at least, boded well. A short kidnapping was better than a long one usually.

It takes her a little while, given that she'd decided to soak away some of her worries in the hot spring, but Saori makes her way home. She catches the broadcast, and that's troubling. But instead of home, it seems Yuuna's on the move...

So, when Saori enters the grocery store, she's a little surprised to see Yuuna meandering around with a basket. And another basket filled with the same things sitting not five feet away. She pauses and just stands there, blinking in consternation. She was the forgetful one, not Yuuna.]

Yuuna? Dearest, are you alright?

[While enjoying a pastry at the bakery, Birdy recognizes Yuuna from their first meeting over the journals months ago(!). However, he doesn't greet her at first, only speaking up when he notices that she's walking away without her order.]

Oi, isn't that your cake there on the counter?

[Hearing Saori's voice, she turns around cheerfully from picking up a few cans of soup.]

Yeah! I'm fine, not in as bad of shape as I thought I'd be. Sorry if I worried you. [She sets the basket down to walk over to give Saori a hug.]

Cake? [She turns around unexpectedly, looking at the cake, then back to Birdy. She remembers him, but not so much knowing what he was talking about.]

Oh! Yes, it is, thanks, I totally forgot. [She moves to go get it, but turns back to Birdy for a second.] How are you doing, I haven't seen you in a while!

[Soup that's already in the basket...]

[Saori hugs back, pulling Yuuna tightly against her and giving her two quick kisses on the cheek.]

It's fine, dearest. Shouganai. Are you hurt anywhere? Do you remember what happened?

[Well, it's pretty hard to forget about a constant dull pain, so she shrugs.] It feels like a million needles got poked in me, but otherwise I'm okay. Otherwise, no, I don't remember a thing. I don't even remember leaving.

[She turns again, looking at some taco mix. Nevermind she's already put three boxes of the same stuff in her basket.] I think I'll make mexican tonight, if you're okay with that. I can still make you some rice and fish, if you don't want it, but I thought something spicy would be good.

[Saori tightens the hug, trying to be sympathetic. That was actually getting off light, compared to some of the pains she'd felt after her own kidnappings.]

You were taken yesterday morning, love. I'd have met you sooner, but I was in the springs, trying not to worry. I knew you'd be back. [She knows you'll always come back.]

And...I think we've got plenty of taco mix right here. [She nudges the basket with a hand.] It sounds nice, though. Maybe we could make fish tacos, and some of that spicy rice? That would be a good meal, don't you think?

Oh! Sure, that sounds good. [She puts the box back, looks back at the soup, then looks at the boxes of taco mix again.

Picking it up, she thoughtfully turns back to Saori, showing her the box.]

You know, I think we should have mexican tonight.

[Eyebrows ruffling, Saori reaches out a hand to Yuuna's...and takes away the box.]

Yes, I already agreed to it. You just suggested that, darling.

[Oh...boy...this is familiar.]

No I didn't. [She looks confused, but she really doesn't want to fight with Saori on it so she lets it go.]

I guess if I'm going to get started, I should get home and start to let things prepare. [And, she starts to walk off without her basket. Either of them.] You don't have to help, it's on me tonight.

[Saori picks up the basket and presses it into Yuuna's hands.]

Yuuna, darling, you don't want to forget this, do you?

[And like hell is Yuuna cooking the entire meal.]

And of course I will help. It's my night to do the cooking, you know.

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.

[Shrug.]

Well enough for being stuck here for so long.

[He's aware that his current tenure in the enclosure is a blink of the eye in comparison to other residents, but it's too long for his liking.]
