Action/Video - Memories of the past

[greenmagick]

[Action]

[Mint green hair falls in front of her face like a curtain as she slowly rises. There is another box and a familiar set of writing inside. She remembers being home; creating memories with those she met after the Empire’s control wore away. Why hadn’t she remembered this place too? She’s surprised to see herself here again but she can’t help but also wonder: how long has it been?

Terra doesn’t waste time. She knows where she is but she needs to determine what has changed. She takes the box in hand, roughly knowing its contents and walked from the bay area.

Delicate fingers shield her bright blue eyes from the light as she takes in the sights. She doesn’t expect to meet anyone she had known from before and part of her truly hopes she doesn’t. She wasn’t herself then.]

[Video]

[She remembers how the deceives work and with her added memories of home, using it became significantly easier.]

…

Hello. [Terra is a little awkward at first, her voice quiet and delicate like a songbird.] I was here before but it’s been some time. I don’t know how long it has been. My name is Terra.

If someone could please let me know what is happening or if anyone here recognizes me. I’d very much like to speak. I’d also like help with a few other things. I want things to be different this time so I’m going to start doing that now.

Thank you.

I don't mind. I don't know how long ago it was but when I first woke up here I didn't have any memories.

[gammavirginis]

[ It hadn't happened to her! ]

[Terra isn't in luck. Well.. Technically. It's perhaps only a few blocks from the Bay that she ends up (almost literally) running into Satsuki when she turns a corner. The Guardian is adorn in her usual attire, white military-style uniform with her blade at her side but carrying a box with a 'Teanie Teas' logo upon the top of it.

This brings her to a complete halt. Her brows raise in recognition for a moment, but she also recognizes Terra's box, so refrains from making the first move.]

[Action]

[greenmagick]

Satsuki?

[She hopes she is remembering the name right. It's been so long for her and it was as if the memories of this place were gone the moment she left. At least now she might find out how long it's really been.]

[Action]

[weavemyownfate]

[Satsuki wouldn't say the two of them know one another on a first name basis, but seeing as Terra isn't japanese she'll clarify about that later. As long as it's been, she's still prefer not to alienate the young lady. Besides, it reveals that they did know one another.]

Yes; it has been quite a while since we have last spoken. Perhaps longer than even I expected; did you just come from the Bay?

[Does Terra look any older?]

[There was something in what Terra said that catches Athrun's attention.]

There's...been some serious problems lately. Things have calmed down now, but for a while it was hectic, particularly in Genessia and Everglade.

Forgive me, but I'm curious. You said you were here before, and only just returned?

Video

[greenmagick]

That's right.

[Terra nods her heads slightly.]

I don't know how long it's been.

[She had been home and some of her memories had returned though none of them pleasant.]

[infinitejustice]

When you left here, were you returned home?

[This is the most pressing issue to him.]

[video]

[vernier]

[This is the first she's met someone returning to Genessia with their memories of the world intact. However, she'll refrain from asking about that for the moment.]

H-Hello. My name is Wendy. It's nice to meet you, Terra-san!

[Smiles.]

What would you like help with?

[video]

[greenmagick]

[Terra's voice softens slightly. She recognizes the young girl from Fairy Tail which is the guild she had been hoping to avoid. Still, Wendy doesn't seem to remember her so she keeps those memories to herself.]

It's nice to meet you too.

[She thought for a moment.]</small. I wanted to start a flower shop and then find a place to live. ... I suppose I should focus on a place to live first.

[video]

[vernier]

[Her face brightens.]

A flower shop? That sounds really nice~

[Whenever Terra does get around to opening it up, she'll be sure to check it out!]

Um... Do you remember what city you lived in when you were previously here?

[Audio] Locked

[frostheartedrose]

Hmmm... You were the one who couldn't remember anything, weren't you? I think it's only been a few months to a year here, but several years have passed for me. Are you still having difficulties?

[Audio] Locked

[greenmagick]

[Terra shakes her head.]

I've regained some of my memories but not all.

[She pauses awkwardly.]

I guess I need to start over here? Do you know a good place to live? [She might as well start with what's an intimidate concern.]

[behindthefakesmile]

Nice to see you back here.

[He has to admit he was kind of happy to see people he had met here before and was glad they could return with memories intact.]

It's been a while since you left, but I can't give an exact number of months.

[greenmagick]

Fai?

[She is pretty sure that is his name. He’s one of a few who she talked to about her missing memories though she doesn’t remember much more than that. She bows her head slightly letting green strains of hair fall loose from behind her ear.]

What has happened?

[There is one person that Terra wants to ask about but she doesn’t know if Fai is aware of them or not. She can already feel that he isn’t in the city which is a good sign so far.]

video;

[behindthefakesmile]

That's right.

[What has happened. Since she left he knew a good few things happened, but he wasn't sure if she really needed to know.]

Well we've had problems in Nova City a few months ago and recently had problems in both Everglade and Genessia, but as you can see things are okay.

[sizedoesntmatter]

[Yugi had been thinking things over as he wondered the streets once more, he needed to check out a few places before he could even start what he had in mind and one of the places just happened to be near the docks. As he looked up at the place he suddenly noticed someone new had come out of it.]

Ah, hello there. Are you new here?

action;

[greenmagick]

[Terra stops and turns, her inhumanly blue eyes locking on the boy curiously.]

Sort of, I was here once before.

[She doesn’t know how long it’s been.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Uh, hello. My name is Pidonus, I think we chatted once or twice?

Can meet you in person at the Bay. Do you need a place?

[Okay, Pidonus. Time to work up the will to do the evil thing. Or set up an evil thing, more like. SHE CAN DO THIS.]

Video

[greenmagick]

[Terra nods slowly which isn't much of an indication as to if she remembers them talking. Maybe it had been at a halloween party?]

A place? I am at the Bay right now. If you'd like to meet me.

[Her voice is soft and a little unsure.]

['I need to return to Genessia. I am one of it's Guardians, and there is much I need to repent for. To rebuild, to repair. I lost myself in that crisis, and I cannot let that happen again… Although, it is not the first time, is it?

Very well…until I can repair the mistakes I have made, both in this world and the last, I give up the feeling of romantic love, the ability to fall in love with others…and the memories of that feeling, if that alone is not enough to restore my life. After all, that is…the most precious feeling of all, is it not?'

As if in answer, the bright white that filled his vision began to fade, and he blinked a few times as shapes finally started to form in it's place. For the first time since the battle, his body felt heavy. He was lying…somewhere. Where he fell, perhaps? The pain from his wounds had long since faded, but in the back of his mind he felt the sensation of part of him ebbing away. It was just like when the spirits had drained him of his emotions, but this time, it was only a small piece.

Romantic love.

His eyes finally cracked open, and he found himself staring at the rocks above him. The…bay, was it? The sound of lapping water just nearby proved that much. It was fitting, really, that he would end up back here.]

Gwen, I am sorry… for tainting our memories like this… It won't be for long, I promise you that.

[As he thought back, he could feel emotions rushing back to him-- regret, sadness-- happiness as well, yes, but he knew there was something missing. Whatever he did, though, he could not fathom what on earth that missing piece truly meant. It was hollow where there should have been something, a something that now only felt like a word to him. That only made the feelings of regret well up further still.

Perhaps he would have lay there just wallowing in his grief, but the sound of a small, familiar voice from just outside the bay caught his ears. It couldn't be…could it?

He scrambled to his feet and out the cave door, just in time to see the young woman addressing the communicator. It really was her. There knew he was every chance she wouldn't remember who he was or even Genessia itself, just like Yang had, but even so, he found himself calling out to her: ]

Terra…!

[He perhaps didn't realise that, although his battle wounds had healed when he revived, his clothes were still torn and dirty from the fight. That, and he was dressed a little differently to how Terra might remember him.]

[Action]

[greenmagick]

[Terra turns at the familiar echo of her name. At first there is only confusion coloring her delicate features but then that expression shifts, ever so slightly, as a soft word escapes her lips.]

Vyers?

[It's the simple sound of his name leaving her lips as if they had only just seen each other days before. In comparison to his new state of dress, nothing appears to have changed in the young mage except that her eyes shinned a little brighter than they had before as if that inhuman part of herself has rose to the surface. She wears her familiar red dress with a long cloak sweeping the ground behind her.

She steps towards him eyeing his tattered clothing and expecting to see a wound like when his wings were ripped from his back.]

Are you alright?

[She steps forward without thinking, a heavy knot tightening in her stomach as she gently places her thin fingers on his shoulder. It's all so unfamiliar. As if the feelings she had gathered the last time she was in Genessia had slipped away from her. She can't place the quiver or uncertainty coursing through her limbs or the heat in her chest. She remembers a single word friend. Even if she doesn't know what these feelings mean she remembers.

They are friends.]

[Oooh, someone who left and came back? Now that's something you don't see every day! Pascal is on the case! But she should at least give a token answer about what's happening, first.]

Heya Terra! I'm Pascal! This place was all pretty quiet but then a bunch of angry ghosts smashed through the sky and stole people's souls for a bit, so a couple people did some abra-cadabra junk over in Fayren and fixed it and now it's pretty quiet again.

Soooo, you said you left and came back?

Video

[greenmagick]

[That is a lot of words and for a moment Terra just blinks and tries to catch up. It only takes a moment before the silence fades and she's able to speak.]

Yes, I did.

[She pauses.]

abra-cadabra?
