[ 008 ] forward-dated to tomorrow

[unit_67]

[So, in case you didn't know, Lily died. Tragic, eh? As I'm sure you know, when people die, they come back with temporary amnesia. Lily is not exempt from this phenomenon. She wakes up in her cell, confused and alone. Not scared - just confused. It takes a little while to get herself oriented. When she does, she jumps up and rummages through the

[While there isn't much else to do in the keep that captures his interest, all Chrono seems to be doing lately is spending time in the library. This evening appears to be no different. However, as Chrono walks among the library's multitude of shelves he spots a young blonde girl doing the same.

Looks like he's got company.]

[unit_67]

[A memory surfaced earlier where Lily remembers being called a dog. However, she's found a book on dogs, and they look completely different! They're furry and have claws and cute little ears. Lily doesn't have cute little ears. How disappointing!

Her browsing is interrupted when she notices Chrono. Oh, wow, he has purple hair! That's so super cool!]

Hey, wow, you have purple hair! That's so super cool!

[the_brokenhorn]

[Not one to bother others, Chrono had stayed silent and let the girl be, figuring she would ignore him. So much for that.]

Uh...thank you?

[What's with everyone's sudden fascination with his hair?]

[unit_67]

You're welcome! I wish my hair were purple.

[That's why everyone is fascinated. Because it's fucking purple.]

What's your name? I'm Lily! Do you live here, too?

*Sollux finds Lily in the library. He's probably on his way to or from the games, but sometimes he wanders a bit just to make sure nothing imporant is going on. He nods to her.*

Hey Lily.

[unit_67]

[Lily is shelving a book on democracy (too many big words) when she hears Sollux and turns. She immediately brightens, a smile on her face.]

Hi! Did you know that you're gray?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*...yep, she definitely died. Seemed okay, so maybe she didn't remember her death or maybe she was just over it (Lily was obnoxiously perky like that). Clearly didn't remember him, anyway.*

Yeah. All trolls are gray.

[unit_67]

What's a troll? I'm not a troll, right? Because I'm kind of pinkish, see? [She holds up her hands. Yup, pinkish.] I think I'm a dog, actually? But earlier, I found a book about dogs, and I don't look like a dog. But that's what I'm called, I guess? I dunno! So, anyway, what's a troll?

[Imagine a world where Lily talked even more than usual.]

[tvntrsdreadwolf]

[Fenris is in the armory when the girl wanders in. He hadn't yet met her and as such, had no idea that she was the Lily that he'd seen reported dead recently.]

[She's just a child in the armory. Which, really, is out of place enough on its own.]

...Are you lost?

[unit_67]

[Lily looks up from where she's running her hands over a broadsword. A memory has surfaced a little earlier that tells her she loves weapons. They're so cool!]

Me? No, not really! I'm exploring!

[She picks up the broadsword. This thing is lighter than it looks!

(The whole super strength memory hasn't come back yet.)]

Look how cool this sword is, do you see? Man, I love swords! Do you like swords? What's your name? Do you live here? Am I asking too many questions?

[tvntrsdreadwolf]

[Both eyebrows go up when she hefts the sword like it's no big thing. Alright, well, credit where credit is due he supposes...]

[...all the questions are kind of dizzying though. Maker, not even Varric yammered on like that.]

Perhaps.. not so many all at once. My name is Fenris. Do you... know how to use that?

['Cause he's a little leery of coming any closer before he gets that Very Important Piece of Information, thanks.]

[unit_67]

[When she's back to normal she won't talk as much. As much.]

Yeah, of course I do! Apparently! [Experimental swing!] I can use allll of this stuff. Well, most of it! Some of these things I'd never seen before I got here! But they're not so hard to use. Like, morning stars! You just kind of swing them around! They're not complicated like bows and stuff. Also, I'm Lily. It's nice to meet you!

[missmimmi]

[Mimmi had been hoping Lily would make a journal post, either accidentally or not. Something to alert her to being alive again.

But nope.

So Mimmi has taken to knocking on Lily's door occasionally and scouring the barrack hallways in case she happens to be walking around.

Lo and behold, on one of her trips, Mimmi catches Lily not in her room, but walking around the same floor.]

Lily?

[unit_67]

[Lily blinks. "Lily"? She looks around. It's just her and Mimmi here. But who is Lily? Is there someone only Mimmi can see? Wait. Does Mimmi mean her?]

Uh, you mean me?

[missmimmi]

[F-ffff sigh oh man don't freak out or anything, Mimmi.]

Ja. Your name is Lily. I am Mimmi.

[unit_67]

Lily? Uh, no, I'm Unit 67, I'm pretty sure.

[mutedmother]

[Jael hadn't expected to see Lily again for a few more days, at least.

So when she sees Lily wandering the halls of the barracks, she can't quite help herself from rushing towards her, intending to hug Lily. Her poor childthing died. ;A;]

[unit_67]

[WOAH WOAH WOAH, SUDDEN HUG. ALRIGHT. Lily hasn't remembered she can fight yet, so she makes no effort to defend herself. She's not really sure what to do, so Lily ends up just standing there, looking a little dazed.]

Haha, uh, hi?

[mutedmother]

[Wait, when did that guy say Lily died?

Oops. Lily probably had no idea who she was. Jael lets go as soon as she realizes this, a sheepish look on her face as she writes on her ever-convenient paper.]

Sorry.
