Satin was kind of like...hey, can you come over here, Aster. By the way, sorry about this cursed knife. Not his fault, obviously. He tried to make it as quick and not-weird as possible.
But after the other day, just sitting there and taking a knife was kind of...I mean, I don't have to tell you.
When he looked at me like a stranger? When he said he didn't care about me? That wasn't great, but I knew it wouldn't last. It was just some stupid thing from a booth. A couple of days, tops, and he'd be back to normal.
But like...Ore's the only person I've met from before I lost my memories. And maybe that's why. How bad would it be to deal with someone not recognizing you if you know it can't be fixed, you know? Who'd even want that?
[ a little laugh, rueful, and he fully slumps against snow. lets him hold up his weight for a moment ]
Maybe. You might have to blame them for both of us, whoever they are. Not that I really care about finding out anymore. Just...hard not to think about, after that.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
...I'll make sure to find him. But what about you? What exactly happened?

Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
But it took him, like, ten minutes to work up to it because he kept stopping to ask questions or be like, "I don't know you but I hate your vibes."
I don't know if it was better or worse for him that he didn't go back to normal till after.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
[Which is just - an extra layer of depressing, honestly.]
Were you able to talk afterwards, at least?
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
[ shrugs ]
Yeah, for sure. He was really shaken up about it and worried I'd ditch him. Which — obviously not.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
[Blame him, or ditch him.]
...What about you, though? How are you feeling after all that?

Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
I can't even blame them, if that was part of it.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
No. I think I'll still blame them, even if that's the case.
Leaving you to be lost on your own, without anyone to support you... isn't that just taking the cowardly route?

Fine, then I'll do all the blaming. They weren't there for you when you needed it most.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
I'll be there to love you, again and again.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
I wouldn't leave you either. I love you.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
Maybe I should make an adjustment to that necklace of yours. "If lost, return to Snowdrop with Acidia."
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
I'd say there's not a lot of places to get lost around here, but this is a pretty big ship.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
I'd always come back to you, though.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
That's a promise. Even if it means I'm bleeding on you for the, uh, hypothetical tenth time by then.
Re: afternoon 227, during the carnival
[But returning the kiss - albeit on the lips this time.]
