[01] [Video]

[notamonkeygirl]

[When the feed flickers on, the PCD is in an interesting place--somehow, whoever had it has propped it up on its side, so the image is tilted. However, it's not too close to whomever owns it, as you can get a pretty good view of the owner's rather interesting attire. The red hair may be vaguely familiar, but the mismatched eyes are soulless. Dead.

Damn you're fast

[sauceytomato]

[HEY HE KNOWS YOU. He thinks. Fuzzy memory and all.]

You...okay?

Kat and I have been keeping track of time hardcore

[notamonkeygirl]

Who am I...?

[That's not really an answer, is it? But it's all she says, in that quiet tone.]

Got your pants ready? <3

[sauceytomato]

I don't...remember.

YA DAMN RIGHT I DO

[notamonkeygirl]

[She's silent now, it's a little unsettling. Her eyes close, and she leans her head back.]

Gatou-san...

[The voice pings familiar. The face pings familiar. Everything pings familiar.

And before he can help it, tears collect in Negi's eyes.

... it'll take him a minute to calm down enough to respond, though the tears are still there.]

... Asuna-san...

[Video]

[notamonkeygirl]

[Her eyes flicker down to the PCD, but she doesn't move to grab it--with all the memories swirling in her head now, it takes her a second to barely recognize the poor kid...]

Nagi...who am I...?

[...but as someone else instead. Well, she was close enough.]

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

[It's Asuna. He's sure of it. It has to be. But she's so different... What had happened?

The mention of his father's name only brings more tears, and he's clutching so, so hard at the blanket around his shoulders, letting the tears fall freely.]

Asuna... san...

[Video]

[notamonkeygirl]

Na--...Negi. Negi. What am I?

[There it is! That flicker of recognition--having finally picked out that name in the sea of names. But...why don't her eyes light up like they would when he's normally around? Something more is amiss here...]

...Negi.

[breakingurface]

[You wanted sentimentality? Fuck that.]

Oi!

It's about goddamned time.

[notamonkeygirl]

Gatou-san...

[Wrong name, Asuna dear. Try again. ...or not, just stare at the PCD instead. She does know that face, but it's swimming in a sea of memories, it's hard to pick it out. But her hand reaches for it, moving it slowly to her face.]

Who am I...?

Re: [Video]

[breakingurface]

[It doesn't even seem to throw Kotarou. Instead, he grits his teeth and gives an unceremonious snort.]

You're Asuna-motherfucking-Kagurazaka, Baka Red, Ala Alba, Team Negi, and your partner needs you.

Negi needs you.

[Video]

[notamonkeygirl]

Negi...

[She doesn't move, nor tense. It's almost like she can barely move as it is, like something is very much amiss here...]

....

[lecherous_kappa]

It's about damn time the city brought in someone that's cute.

OH GOJYO, I MISSED YOU

[notamonkeygirl]

....

Gatou-san...

[She stares at the PCD, blank, entirely blank, breathing softly. It's almost like she's not really acknowledging he's there.]

I wish he remembered her SO MUCH. :(

[lecherous_kappa]

Babe? Are you all right?

[His expression gets concerned.]

Do you need help?
