[Hymn #26] [Movement]

[nightcrossed]

[Tear is on break at the cafe. She's out back practicing strikes and blocks with a broom since the manager is making her leave her weapons at home these days (they scare off the costumers, he says). Some of her hair is falling out of her ponytail at this point, and she'll doubtless have to fix it before the manager allows her to go back to waiting tables.

Fighting air isn't quite the same as sparring with Legretta, but at least she can relearn the motions, and at least the movement interrupts her thinking about what Van might be doing back in her own world.]

(I wonder how I can get back. Are hunting down suspicious objects and being present when the island does something strange going to be enough?)

[Swing.]

(Van. What are you up to? Who else have you dragged into this?)

[Swing.]

(I don't understand. Is this "Score" really such a terrible thing? What is it exactly and why do you hate it so much?)

[Swing.]

(I'm so sure there are people around me suffering right now. Rena seemed sad... I need to do something.)

[Swings harder. The motions yanks at the muscles in her arms and forces her to stop.]

[Yuyuko is seated. She picks up a menu and scans it idly.]

Yes, just in the past few days. It's a most peculiar situation.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Yes, you're right.
It'll only get more peculiar the longer you stay here.

Memento Eden has a rather twisted sense of humor.

I wasn't aware that an island could possess such a thing.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

It's not the island necessarily. What I mean is there are forces at work, and those forces enjoy causing strange things to happen in this place, things that wouldn't occur naturally.

[hungryprincess.livejournal.com]

That description could cover a wide variety of activities.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

You're correct...

[Tear sighs.]

Suffice it to say a wide variety of activities occur on this island, ranging from week-long severe cold spells to trees that continue blooming well past their season to three weeks of the residents becoming either older or younger than they usually are.

Not to mention the entire amnesia ordeal and the regaining of memories bit by bit.

[hungryprincess.livejournal.com]

At the least, it sounds like not every such occurance is a bad thing.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

This is true. Not all of them are bad, and sometimes people are able to remember things after one of these occurrences.
