[ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ In a slightly alternate version of Thusia, Ahito and Ginko never left - they just continued to live as quietly as possible through the various events that have occurred. Until now. Ginko sits up sharply in the middle of the night, sensing something is off. ]

[doing the same, strangely enough]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ blinks over at him ]

Ahito?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

Something weird just happened....

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

That was what I was thinking.

[ massages his temples a little ]

Something is ... missing.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

[nods] Yeah. It's....

It's....

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

... We should see if something's going on out there.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

Or we could stay in here.

[getting up anyway]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ straightens kind of unsteadily ]

Whatever it is has already gotten in here somehow.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

Like that's a surprise. We're magnets for this kind of stuff.

[ small snort ]

Sometimes it passes over.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

Sometimes.

[welp, gonna take a stroll out our apartment. Everything LOOKS normal...]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ and no floods or darkness or anything crazy ... though there's extra crap on the ground?? ]

Strange.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

Seriously strange...

[stoops down to check out the crap, hmmm]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ there's something that looks suspiciously like a stray packet of mushi tobacco over here that Ginko hasn't noticed yet. ]

What do you make of it?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

[grabbing that without commenting cuz man this could be MY pack of mushi tobacco :|a]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ As soon as he makes contact with the package, he suddenly finds himself back in a familiar village. And Ginko is next to him, lying asleep on the floor with an injured leg. though he's opening his eyes and looking around. ]

How long...?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

[whats this place i dont quite remember this...]

I don't know.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ he doesn't seem to notice you. there's another kid in the room too - trying to tell Ginko that Ahito's left already. And Ginko sort of accepting it.... until he tastes the water. somehow you can taste it as well - a distinctive sort of sleep medicine. ]

Wellwater, right?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

That's ours. How'd they get that?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ good question. Ginko is more concerned with where Ahito is - and thus it comes out that they've been using him to heal the village. you can feel the horror and rage building in him as he struggles to his feet and out the door. ]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

...what?!

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ You feel compelled to follow along with him. Out across the village, into a particular building... ]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

[rushing after him yes--mostly trying to grab and stop him]

Stop! You're too injured! GINKO!

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ he doesn't even seem to notice you grabbing his arm. he hurries up and into the other building, where they have Ahito. whatever anger he was feeling before is nothing compared to the rage flowing through him once he sees what they've done. he shouts at the villagers, both out of anger and out of an attempt to make them see reason, to make them let Ahito go-- ]
