Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

I just tell the truth.

[ At some point he definitely should segue into "btw the monkeys are taking over the room you haven't even slept in yet" because they are absolutely losing the plot here. ]

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

I said what I said.

Will you be okay?

Meeting Wukong with amnesia?

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

[ She was actually wondering if he'd at all made the connection that it might bother her. She wasn't going to hold it against him if he hadn't, there's a lot going on. ]

Mostly. It's not my first time on the other side of it.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

[He absolutely made the connection, he has just been trying to head off ALL THE THINGS.]

It is only going to be temporary. I promise, he is going to get his memories back.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

I'd be the worst sort of hypocrite to be bothered if he didn't get them back. I've done it before, I'll handle it.
It's not so terrible for me. I do worry about MK, he's not ready.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

You're not a hypocrite to want someone back how you knew them.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

I would be. I don't want my own memories back.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

You don't have a lot to regain with your memories. Wukong does. And he doesn't really have much without, at least not without complications.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

You don't know that and neither do I. Many people would say there's value in remembering the people who loved you beyond the day of their death, which is all I have of my father. I barely have more of Riku.

I'm sparing myself from pain, nothing more. And if any of them show up here then how would they find my choice to leave them mostly forgotten? What about those I don't remember at all?

Please don't make assumptions about what I have to gain or lose.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

Sorry, I just meant



Wukong has the people here. Who do remember him.

If any of those people showed up, it would be a different matter. Trying to live your life for people who might hypothetically show up wouldn't be fair to you because who even knows what those odds actually are. So it only makes sense to do what is best for you when it is just you.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

[ "Wukong has people here"... her mind fills in another piece of that sentence: "and you don't." Little reminders of everything she lost crop up at moments like this, she supposes that's only natural when there's a whole life of loss. She knows that wasn't intended to hurt her though so no sense dwelling on it. ]

Right, I get it.

Well like I said, however I can help.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

[Of course Saya has people here. Its just not the people she's forgotten. She's not hurting anyone. No one is suffering for her to not have her memories.]

[Meanwhile, people were for Wukong, because of the people he's met more recently, compared to everyone else he lost.]

Mostly keeping track of Wukong, if you're up for it. MK and Macaque are going to need breaks. I don't know if you will, but then we just switch out.

Keep the mental and emotional fatigue to a minimum while babysitting an overpowered brat.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

I won't need breaks, I'm good at this.
So whatever they need.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

Make sure to take care of yourself at least a little bit for me?

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

I'll be fine. I'm used to it. Please don't worry about me, you'll assist yourself too thin.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

I'm the one least emotionally affected. I can take on a little more for the rest of you.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

Nonsense.
I know it's hard for you to see MK miserable.

And like I keep saying, I'm used to this. So please don't worry.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

I'm pretty sure there's a huge difference between seeing someone be miserable and them actually being miserable.

And you could be that kind of miserable too.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

I'm not, though.

And if I was I'm still experienced at this kind of thing in ways MK isn't.
He needs you. I can manage myself.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

[There is a long, loooong pause.]

If you need support, you'll ask someone for it, right?

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

You're that worried?

If I need support I'll make sure you know it. Okay?
So you're aware even if you are needed more elsewhere.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

Of course I am. I always worry about you.

Thank you.

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

[ There's a sort pause and then his phone rings. ]

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[forgingfires]

[A pause of surprise, but he answers the phone.] Hello?

Re: Amnesiakong start day

[sangreine]

I wanted to hear your voice.

[ She wanted to hear his unfiltered reaction to this: ]

Us being apart was hard on you, wasn't it? [ This is related to their conversation, honest. Saya needed some distance and time, but she no longer wants him to feel like he's being held at arm's length. That's not why she's saying that he should focus on MK and not her. It's worry for her friend and that's all, nothing like a desire to shut him out. ]
