week 6, saturday

[warmness]

[ well!

some time after all of... uh, that. grune will go hunting for hige? she was nice and allowed him time to talk to other people. ]

Brother?

[banzais]

[she sure was nice

and higekiri will just be wandering over to her - he looks uh....... drenched and soaking wet]

Oh... Hello, brother.

[warmness]

Oh. Did you go swimming?

[ that's nice ]

[banzais]

... Mm, I did. I didn't get to make it very far, though.

[but regardless he'll just run his fingers through his hair]

Shall we go back inside? Have you eaten already?

[it's easier if he just

focuses on her, really]

[warmness]

[ ... she tilts her head at that comment as i, francy, hate you ]

I haven't eaten yet. I've just been taking a long walk.

[banzais]

Oh? Did you find anything interesting?

[but he just hums and drip drip drips his way through the hallways]

Hm... I think I'll have a bath first - and then let's go get something to eat.

[warmness]

It'll be uncomfortable to eat while you're this wet, yes.

[ but to their room

... and to answer the first question. ]

I didn't really find anything interesting though. I've just been thinking.

[banzais]

Oh...?

[to their room!!]

What have you been thinking about?

[he'll just ask while he tries to strain the water out of his hair,,]

[warmness]

Mm... you know, I've gotten a few of my memories back while here. So it's been a rather interesting experience.

[ haha ]

[banzais]

Is that so...

[he'll glance over to her but also

reach out a hand for her to hold, even though it's cold and wet]

Like what?

[warmness]

[ it's fine. she'll hold it. ]

Well, I know why I have memory problems? And Tamamo said she thinks I'm a goddess...

And then sometimes things would happen here that'll feel a little familiar, but...

[banzais]

Mm, she's mentioned as much to me - you're possibly as old as we are, no? Or older.

[HE NEVER MENTIONED THIS TO GRUNE but he's known for a while]

But...?

[warmness]

[ she just nods, unbothered that tamamo went and blabbed ]

But... I really hope we did manage to do something right tonight, and that we'll get to see each other again. If we can, make sure to come visit me right away, okay?

[banzais]

[ . . . there's just a soft laugh at that]

... I will. I'll bring our brother, and we three can be together again.

[aren't myths just the paths that you wish history could've taken?

but they'll make it to the room then, and higekiri will move to change - ]

Shall we share one together? Brother showed me something about bubble baths before... It might be something fun, after everything that's happened.

[warmness]

Oh, that sounds lovely. It has been a long day...

[ baths are relaxing, probably ]

[banzais]

[there's just a soft laugh at that and he'll head for the bathroom]

Then... let's do that.

And while we relax, tell me what you've remembered. Perhaps between the two of us, we will be able to keep your stories safe.

[warmness]

Maybe... it's very easy to forget?

[ but to the bathroom, and she'll strip along the way because what's waiting. ]

[banzais]

[they are perfectly comfortable with this now and that's fine - but he'll make sure the water is warm and he'll get a little bottle for bubbles to start filling up the tub

it might overflow

hiza died for this]

Will you share with me what you can? And we can fill in the blanks together.

[that's not how memories work]

[warmness]

[ this is their last night in here, they can overflow the tub if they want to

but she will go and sit on the edge of it while it fills. ]

Mmhm. I apparently lost my memories while I was sealing away a woman called Schwartz.

[banzais]

Sealing her away....?

Was she a demon?

[i can't believe there's lore happening on the literal last night - but hige will just make sure that the bath is warm enough before stepping in, and then offering a hand out to grune for her to join him]

[warmness]

[ listen there is a reason she is telling him this now.

but in they go then! ]

No.... another goddess, maybe, if that's what we are?

[banzais]

[beautiful, genjis sharing a bubble bath before we bad end

but he'll go into the bath with her, sighing faintly even as he feels warmer immediately]

Mm... Was she powerful enough to steal all your memories from you?

[warmness]

I don't think she stole them...? She was very powerful though, so I think I just used too much power and it weakened me.

[ like. incredibly so. what's a long and short term memory span ]

[banzais]

[well that's... something.

higekiri will take some bubbles in his hands and then blow them gently in her direction]

... And do you think you will ever regain that power?

[warmness]

Maybe if I regain my complete memory.

[ she'll pop one, and laugh lightly before letting a second one actually just reach her. it pops against her hair. ]

There are still things I don't remember, but I can't really predict what might trigger it. It's been easier since that one week where we saw memories, but sometimes it's like... something will come to me, and then I'll forget it right away, I think?
