I guess this was in the closet the entire time... No wonder I couldn't find it, I must have dropped it in there when I was sorting clothes...

How are you all? It's been a while since I've spoken over these. I seem to have been distracted lately... But it's easy enough to do, if you start thinking about home. Though I can hardly remember anything--just my swords--there are bits and pieces... Like we all can speak, and we all know some basic things. I wonder why we remember those, if we've lost everything else? Perhaps those sorts of skills aren't quite the same as memories, though; I would have probably been able to wield a sword to some degree on muscle memory alone if I'd had to, even before I remembered how to use one properly.

What an intelligent thought!

[memento-mods.livejournal.com]

[[Liet is off the warned list.]]

[crimeas-hero.livejournal.com]

Eh? You're a swordsman?

[vytis]

Do you think so?

How have you been lately, Mr. Ritsu? I haven't spoken to you much lately, I've been so busy.

[vytis]

Yes. It's all I can remember right now.

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I WAS AVOIDING YOU!

[vytis]

[O-oh Ritsu...] N-no, I didn't mean that, I'm the one who was busy, it's my fault!

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

[BET YOU MISSED THAT,HUH] I'M SORRY FOR MAKING YOU FEEL GUILTY!

... You remember your swords?

[vytis]

[ACTUALLY YES] It's alright, really!

I mean I remember--swordsmanship in general, I suppose.

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

How wonderful, to remember such a good talent.

[vytis]

Yes, I suppose it is, though I'd like to remember more soon. How much do you remember of your home?

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

I only remember a few family members, and my mother's onsen... I will probably never gain any talents such as yours.

[vytis]

Remembering your family is a good thing. I don't remember mine yet.

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll remember your family soon! And unlike mine, they'll be so happy to be with you when you return to them!

[vytis]

I'm sure your family misses you.

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

Oh no, they're much better off without me.

...

I remember my parents... they always had to apologize for me.

[there's one mystery solved-]

[vytis]

[ffff Ritsuuuu :c]

W-why would they have to apologize for you? You're a wonderful person!

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

For how slow I was, compared to the other children in the family... How stupid I was, how less skilled I was, how less athletic I was... I was such a burden to them.

[vytis]

That was cruel of them.

You're not worthless, Ritsu. Really.

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

I'M SORRY FOR MAKING THEM SOUND CRUEL! I'VE DISHONORED THE PEOPLE KIND ENOUGH TO FEED AD LET ME LIVE IN THEIR HOUSE, I DON'T DESERVE TO RETURN TO THEM!

[crimeas-hero.livejournal.com]

Huh. Sounds like me when I was still new here. How to use a sword was the first thing I remembered.

[vytis]

[fff Liet wants to give Ritsu a hug or something.]

I-it's okay, really. You--you deserve to go home, if that's what you want. Really.

[Liet thinks it's Ritsu's family that doesn't deserve him, but anyway. B|]

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

[Guys can hug him! It's only when girls hug him that bad things happen |D]

... What I want... No, I don't deserve that.

[vytis]

You deserve to be happy.

[vytis]

I wonder if that's a coincidence or if it means something?

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

A kind but incorrect thought.

[vytis]

If you don't believe anything else I say you should believe that.

[chaos-squirrel.livejournal.com]

You remembered how to use a sword??

[vytis]

Yes, a little while ago.

[chaos-squirrel.livejournal.com]

Wow. There's a lot of people using them around here. I have a sword, but I haven't remembered to use it for myself. I'm relearning, though!

[crimeas-hero.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. I think we just remember things in a random order.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one that's distracted right now. I think we've all got a lot to think about.

[vytis]

That's probably true. It would be convenient if there was some order, though.

[vytis]

If you need any help I'd be glad to try to teach you a few things.

[vytis]

True... This place is so odd.

[crimeas-hero.livejournal.com]

It would, but since when has life ever been convenient?

[chaos-squirrel.livejournal.com]

Really? I'm already getting lessons from Lloyd, but maybe it would be interesting to try with someone else.

[vytis]

It would definitely be interesting. If you'd like to, just ask whenever.

[vytis]

...Good point. But it would be nice.

[chaos-squirrel.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll remember that for another time. I'll be looking forward to it!

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

...Yeah.

How's your sword training going?

[vytis]

Well! I pretty much remember everything, I think. Though I guess I wouldn't know if I had forgotten something else.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Heheh, yeah. I keep remembering more gun moves, myself!

[vytis]

Gun moves? What sorts of moves? [Liet has never really considered that there would be moves for a gun.]

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

All kinds! Like Storm Waltz, where I toss a bunch of coins in the air and shoot 'em, so the bullets ricochet into my target. I'll show you sometime, if you want!

[vytis]

Wow, you can aim something like that? I'd love to see it.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Yep! You got it, I'll show you anytime!

[vytis]

I'll look forward to it.
