[hello luceti. there is currently a (possibly familiar) green-haired child hiding behind community building 5, wearing a pretty new-feather dress. are those pretty? i think they're pretty.

the kid looks kinda scared, huddled against the wall like that, and shivers on occasion while poking around with the magical bookmunicator.]

...I wish this book was a map.

Gaaaah, I don't get this at all! Come on, let's go back to the house first. Maybe you'll remember who you are when you get there!

[action]

[positivelycharged]

..........Okay.

[action]

[failguardian]

[She leads the way back, turning to flick a worried glance at him every so often.]

So...what's the last thing you remember? You were just at the house earlier. Did the Malnosso snatch you up for a few hours?

[action]

[positivelycharged]

[when she glances back she'll see him looking incredibly dejected as he trudges along after her.]

...I was helping Pamela with chores, and then I was here. I don't remember being at a house.

[action]

[failguardian]

[Um, what? Not a Malnosso research facility or anything like that? Maybe they implanted false memories into Ion...Anise decides to play along for the moment.]

Pamela? You mean, mama? But why? I thought you'd be cooped up doing paperwork!

[action]

[positivelycharged]

Paperwork? I don't have any paperwork...

[action] SOB I'M SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY things will get better from now on i promise!

[failguardian]

You're the Fon Master! Of course you have paperwork!

[action] DON'T WORRY i've been incredibly slow all week haha

[positivelycharged]

But I'm not the fon master!

[action] /cuddles with you in the slow corner...

[failguardian]

[Hmm, Ion or Florian or whatever he's calling himself is looking pretty upset. Anise tries to soften her tone.]

Maybe I really mistook you for someone else. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?

[action] <3

[positivelycharged]

[Anise's change in tone is a little surprising, after everything so far. He looks back up at her, unsure.]

...When Mohs turned into a giant purple thing, you came and took me to Daath, and you said my name was Florian.

[action] <333!

[failguardian]

Mohs turned into a giant purple...what?

[Yep, a giant purple thing definitely suits Mohs. Too well, in fact, that it sounds like it came from a fairytale where everything turned out perfect.]

[action] <3333333!?

[positivelycharged]

A giant purple....thing. I'm not sure what he was but he was scary.

[that is the best definition she's getting from him, sadly.]

[action] /punts away the question mark

[failguardian]

Well, at least he can't be the Grand Maestro when he's a giant purple thing!

[Yeah just...roll along with it, Anise. You can tough it through this weirdness!]

[action] oh no that poor question mark...!

[positivelycharged]

Um...I guess so, yeah!

[not entirely sure what you're talking about but let's go for a tentative smile, yes. ignore the tears in that icon.]

[action] it does not belong! Don't pity it!

[failguardian]

[By that time, they're at the front of the house. Anise turns back to look at Florian.]

Does this ring any bells at all?

[action] but...!

[positivelycharged]

Bells?

[he looks at the house, then back at anise, shaking his head.]

[action] Who's the wiser one here? >|

[failguardian]

[SIGH] Well, it's gotta wear off eventually. Come on! I'll show you to your room.

[action] You? ;u;

[positivelycharged]

I have a room? [is it ion's room?]

[action] Yes yes so you have to obey me ^u^

[failguardian]

You live here! I think the Malnosso did something weird to you so you think you're Florian.

[action] o-oh well if you say so...'^'

[positivelycharged]

But I am--[then again if anise doesn't remember naming him florian, then maybe he isn't florian anymore..?]

[action] shhh shhh relax and just say yes....

[failguardian]

[...Oh, oops, she's making him upset.]

Don't worry about it! Whether you're Ion or Florian or whoever, you still need a home!

[action] yes...!

[positivelycharged]

[well he does like having a home.] Do you live here too, Anise?

[action] /spirits away for adventures in subjugating question marks

[failguardian]

Yep! A lot of our friends live here. Tear, Natalia, Nephry and...I guess you're friends with Dist. Sorta. [DOES NOT APPROVE.]

[action]

[positivelycharged]

I am? Who's Dist?

[action]

[failguardian]

[...This is even worse than she had thought.]

A reaaaaally bad guy! He's mean and rotten and vain and selfish! [A pause.] ...Well, I guess he can be nice sometimes. But you have to be careful around him!
