1-[The announcement]

"...So, um, I've got some good news, and some not-very good news."
Doomstar, of all people, is making an announcement for Sakihama base.
"Good news: Jen's fork is up and running. I set her up this morning, and we've been going over recent events and helping her pick out an appearance for her body. Other news is...well, she beat me up, stole my wallet and car keys, then jumped out a third-story window and escaped. Her sense of self is still very fragile, and I don't know that she's entirely stable, either. So if you can find her...please return her safely. With my car!"

2-[The escapee]
Elsewhere in Sakihama, a blonde woman with red eyes lounges about. Atop a moving car, in traffic. As the car she's on slows down for a turn, she hops off, rolling into a crouch as though it were the most natural thing in the world. From there, she walks past a sweets store and manages to filch some anpan from the tray out front. She tosses it in the air, catching it in her mouth like a trained circus animal and quickly gobbling it down.


"...Nifty! So I can eat food, or at least a little bit. That's nice! Though the taste is bland..."

Uhm, yes. I did.

[Sielje looks awkward, being hugged like that.]

Please do not cause trouble...
stupidhonor: (doubt and unease)

From: [personal profile] stupidhonor


I appreciate it.

Yes. So...

[The really hard part begins now.]

How much do you remember?
stupidhonor: (stoic determination)

From: [personal profile] stupidhonor


Yes. This is because, you are not her. You have her memories, but you are a person of your own.

[Suddenly, Sielje's gut clenches. Keep an open mind no matter Jen's appearance... she has a really bad feeling about what she might have meant.]

...

We... should talk elsewhere...
stupidhonor: (doubt and unease)

From: [personal profile] stupidhonor


Indeed. I brought money, just in case...

[Sielje sits down but she doesn't feel like drinking anything. Not even a sweet chocolate drink.]

W-well. I think I will.

But you know most of it already, do you not? You remember what Jen did.

You do not know what happened in the last few days because Jen... was not around. There was a very hard battle. She is... lost.
stupidhonor: (all the tiredness)

From: [personal profile] stupidhonor


I am not certain. She may still be...

[Sielje's voice trails off. She sounds obviously doubtful, trying her hardest to cling to last shreds of hope.]

I... I do not, actually.

You know how the two of us were. You have her memories after all.

But you are your own person. You are not Jen. I will not ask you to be.
stupidhonor: (extreme emotion)

From: [personal profile] stupidhonor


[Sielje's gaze turns away. This feels so much like Jen, that she can't look.]

I cannot...

I cannot give you an answer. Not right now.
stupidhonor: (lack of heart)

From: [personal profile] stupidhonor


[Sielje nods sadly. She doesn't really have anything else to add.]
