{1st Clear Card, video}

[keystaff]

[Sakura's back again on the app. Which, once she gets back home and realizes she still can't find certain items, well. Of course she is Concerned. Though not necessarily for reasons others might assume. Not so much for what this means for herself, especially given how defenseless this leaves her without her magic and cards, but she is. Worrying about the cards. Because of course she is.

She idly brushes a longer strand of hair framing her face behind her ear, biting her lip as she uses her phone, opening the Retrospec app. Which shows her bedroom in Fai and Iwai's place, where she sits cross-legged on her bed.]

Um, if everyone missed it before? I'm back. I mean, I have the app again. I'm sorry if I worried everyone before. But I just wanted to check. To ask, I mean. Others have probably gotten the app after having it deleted from their phones too, right? Only, when I got back, I realized some things were missing still. My cards. And my neckla-- my staff I use with them. They're gone. So is my bear.

[Anyone might question the bear, but this particular bear is unique and special, given her bond with Xiaolang. With his Other in her memories, Syaoran. Let alone if someone thinks she might be talking about normal playing cards or something.]

I usually always have the cards and necklace on me, and the bear usually stays in my room, but. When I got home, I can't find them anywhere. And I'm sure I didn't leave anything in...in that glass case I woke up in. If anyone has seen the cards, please tell me! Or at least, make sure they're alright.

[To be fair, it isn't like the cards are exactly defenseless, or necessarily vulnerable, considering the chaos they caused in her memories, but even so. She can't help worrying. And not just because she isn't sure how she is supposed to figure tricking her family with stopping them from worrying if she doesn't have Mirror to stay home in her stead while dealing with App Things?

She holds up a couple of drawings to try show what the necklace and an example of one of the Clow Cards look like.]

Comments

I feel this.

[keystaff]

I'm sure it is? Where would you even keep it?

[spirithacker]

it doesnt fit in the garage
i park it on the street

[keystaff]

Just parked on the street? Nobody has said anything?

[Is it even legal to own a tank? Outside of being in the military or whatever?]

[spirithacker]

mom says i gotta clean it myself cuz she and dad wont
i guess thats it?

[keystaff]

Eh? That's it?

[spirithacker]

yea
if they had retrospec theyd probably freak out more
but idk

[keystaff]

You're probably lucky they don't have the app. Yeah.

[spirithacker]

mayb
itd be nice to talk to them about this stuff
+ them not disappearing

[keystaff]

It would. But I am not sure there is anything we can do about that. At least not yet. Not now. We don't control who has or doesn't have the app and what that means each month or so.

[spirithacker]

y u gotta make sense

[keystaff]

I'd be worried if I didn't make sense? But there's still a lot we don't yet know.

[spirithacker]

i dont want sense rn
i just wanna complain about how stupid & unfair it is
u can figure stuff out later

[keystaff]

I can listen while you complain?

[spirithacker]

your not gonna call me a baby right
im a big kid i dont cry about stuff
im just complaining
its different

[keystaff]

I never said you were a baby or that you were crying? Even if you were crying, it's okay to sometimes.

But I still don't mind listening if you need an ear to complain.

[spirithacker]

[Sakura should really be the last person he worries about calling him a baby.]

rly
do grownups cry?

[keystaff]

Sometimes. Why wouldn't they? I mean, they might not cry as often or they might try hide that they are so worried or upset from us but. They're still only human.

[spirithacker]

idk
i guess
i was hoping when i get older i wont be sad anymore

[keystaff]

That you won't be sad anymore? What are you sad about now?

[spirithacker]

why wouldnt u b sad
everything happens a lot
fam forgets stuff
u remember gettin hurt

it sux

[keystaff]

I know. It's a lot to try keep straight, especially with family without the app too. But until we figure more out, until they get better control of the app, we can't do anything but to keep doing what we can.

Is there anything I can do?

[spirithacker]

idk
maybe talking helped a little?

thnx

[keystaff]

It does? Well, that's the least I can do. I'm glad if it does help some.

thread end?

[spirithacker]

mayb we should talk later

not rn
i have 2 go do homework

end!

[keystaff]

Ah, sure! Go do your homework. I won't keep you and get you in trouble for being late with it. But later. Just message me when you want to talk sometime.
