Don't worry, she laughed when she saw the royalty results too. And then shrieked in terror.

Maya Aimoto 2/12 near Recollé

So, I've got a ... question. The freaky things don't exactly seem to be stopping, and one thing hit me as really weird. The whole. "Founder's Day Court" thing. It didn't stand out to me until afterwards, but... well. I looked back through what's been posted to Retrospec so far, and... There are definitely more than a couple of us chosen from that who are also on THIS. That ... seems more than a little odd, doesn't it?

[Someone seems to be lacking a certain amount of energy that's normally on display. Why, it's not as if many more "freaky" things have been happening, right?

I mean. Unless you woke up in the middle of the night with some awfully weird visions in your head, or you're desperately trying to stave off the desire to build a conspiracy wall in your bedroom.]

Melody Sharpe Came back...?
Melody Sharpe Do they teleport now too?

[That would be sarcasm in other situations, but no, total sincerity. She'll believe it.]

Melody Sharpe Well...
Melody Sharpe I guess you wouldn't have any reason to think I'm crazy, considering everything, huh?

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto It did! At least, like.
Maya Aimoto Apparently.
Maya Aimoto ...
Maya Aimoto That depends on how crazy you think I am.
Maya Aimoto You tell me yours, I tell you mine?

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe Did you see it happen?
Melody Sharpe Or is it like those old cartoons where you try to avoid something and suddenly it's right back in your face

Melody Sharpe ...Okay. Yes.
Melody Sharpe That seems like a good way to do it.
Melody Sharpe Should I just... go first?

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto Well, I through it away and looked away and then like
Maya Aimoto POOF!
Maya Aimoto It was back in my pocket.

[She just stares nervously at the next part. Thinking back to how other reactions have gone...]

Maya Aimoto Ah, sure, sure!

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe If I didn't know any better, I'd say that sounds more like magic than anything else.

Melody Sharpe Well I...
Melody Sharpe I don't know what to call it.
Melody Sharpe I had a dream? But it was too real to be a dream. It didn't feel like one.
Melody Sharpe Ugh, I already feel stupid talking about this....

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto That sounds familiar! It's like how I remembered it happening for me!
Maya Aimoto It's not stupid at all!

[Unless she is.]

Maya Aimoto Please, go on!

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe ...It felt sort of like... when you have a vivid dream of a memory.
Melody Sharpe I've never hallucinated, so maybe it was just that, but...

Melody Sharpe I was singing a song.
Melody Sharpe A whole song, there was music and everything. I think it was being filmed?
Melody Sharpe I tried looking the song up later, because I thought maybe I'd just heard it somewhere before. But it doesn't seem to exist.

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto Ohhhhh, that's super interesting.
Maya Aimoto See? I told you that you that you sounded good when just humming!
Maya Aimoto That other memory must agree!

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe What? No.
Melody Sharpe That's not how that works, it's ridiculous.
Melody Sharpe Memories can't even have opinions.

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto It still lines up with what I was saying!
Maya Aimoto That's close enough!

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe If you want to see it as a victory, then fine. Don't let me stop you.

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto YAY!

[Pause.]

Maya Aimoto But, uh. I guess you wanna know mine then, right?
Maya Aimoto It was ... kind of simple. You were there, and Rachel, and Alicia too! Except you all had... brightly colored hair. And there were these similarly colored little flying animals...

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe .....Pardon?
Melody Sharpe Brightly colored hair and... animals? What?
Melody Sharpe What kind of animals

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto A pink bunny, a blue puppy, a yellow bear, and a purple kitty!
Maya Aimoto Your hair was purple!

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe Now that sounds very dreamlike.
Melody Sharpe Definitely like something from some kids anime or

[And then she suddenly gets hit with a memory. Oh. Okay then.]

Melody Sharpe I
Melody Sharpe No this sounds familiar. It didn't a second ago, but now it does...

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto Ah, you too!
Maya Aimoto Everyone's remembered it when I've described it!
Maya Aimoto this is super freaky

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe So it's not random.
Melody Sharpe You can force... whatever this is to trigger.

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto I... guess so, yeah! If you know what you need to trigger it...!
Maya Aimoto That's at least, like. Useful to know, right?

[It's not like she's going to use this information in a way that might backfire on her, oh no.]

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe It might be. We'll see.
Melody Sharpe It's something to keep in mind, at the very least.

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto Rachel and I were talking about meeting for this with everyone connected!
Maya Aimoto You should come!

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe ...I suppose I might as well.
Melody Sharpe Maybe it'll reveal some answers.

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto Excellent, that's the spirit!

[Is "I might as well" really "the spirit," Maya? Whatever, she'll take as close as she can get.]

Maya Aimoto I'll contact you with the exact date, time, and place later, then!

[swordere]

Melody Sharpe Is it?
Melody Sharpe I think I've been very much misinformed about what the spirit really is.
Melody Sharpe But alright. I'll talk to you later then.

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto Well, being willing to help us face this down and try and get to the bottom of things!
Maya Aimoto Being proactive!
Maya Aimoto But right! I'll see you then! o(^▽^)o
