[ She thinks in some aspects she's glad she didn't have to experience that. Who would she had to have faced, and who would she have been made to forget?

Her expression carefully shutters closed. ]

You'll hate yourself if your memory comes back.

[ If someone remembers you, you exist. ]

What happened next?

[nightchild]

[hate himself...

he thinks he might, what with the memories he does have -- of grieving for this person, versus all the ones he's lost -- the happier ones]

After another sixty years, we went back to the tree one last time. ...But Jiu-chan and I turned into monsters, and we tried to kill Te-kun and Nogiku-san.

They managed to stop us in time though. We ended up meeting a woman who asked us to deliver a sword to Steel-san.

The repeating theme of having to fight each other....

[ She had been wondering if it had happened to the other group.

But that's interesting. ]

Steel was named in your adventure?

[nightchild]

[he shakes his head]

Not exactly. The woman -- Makoto -- only told us to give it to 'her'. And since the other groups found stuff that belonged to the residents, and Steel-san likes swords, we figured it was theirs.

[disingenuous]

That makes sense. Of all four of them.... they would be the one who'd have a connection to swords.

That's a long time to spend somewhere without looking like you aged.

I guess I cheated a little, since I wasn't entirely human during it. Also, the years kind of passed by in a blur? It felt like years and also like ten minutes.

I hope you weren't stuck for that long in your journey.

[disingenuous]

Not entirely human?

[ Tell her of your furriness, Itsuki. ]

I'm not sure... how much time passed where I was. A voice mentioned nights, but it didn't really seem to be like over a night had passed.

[ It's hard to say. ]

[nightchild]

[nights...

Itsuki puts his fingers on his head to form... cat ears, which is his best approximation for fox ears]

I was a kitsune -- a fox demon. I had the ears and tails when I got back, but they disappeared when I got into the pod.

[disingenuous]

[ she wrinkles her nose. ]

Why is that a common theme?

[nightchild]

Which part -- turning into animals?

[Roxana furry... real]

[disingenuous]

.... Yes. I came back with a tail, but it wasn't real.

[ (mod voice) cute costume style. ]

But the others appears as bipedal animals to me.

[nightchild]

[cute costume style...]

Did it seem specific to the place you were in? Like... they were all native animals or something...

[where DID roxana and co go im in tears]

[disingenuous]

[ did itsuki not get a memshare from kashuu about the cyoa.....

She shakes her head after a moment. ]

I'm not sure. But it was... everyone, even the people they pulled from here or from home.

[ So perhaps it's what was meant, that everyone there should be as animals. ]
