✞ 001

[zekken]

Who: Yuuki Konno and YOU?
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Caprine
When: Backdated to 9/19 Shuffle

[ The broadcast begins, showing a teenage girl, white-skinned with a purplish tint (unlike what her inaccurate anime icons show) and pointed elf-like ears. Bits of the welcoming confetti is stuck to her long dark hair and she has yet to bother brushing it off. Suddenly waking back up on the Marsiva and being transported to a new ship was startling at first.

She's actually rather confused, but she hides it well with all her smiling. And she's enjoying her dessert. Holding her bowl with one hand, she gives an excited wave to the screen. ]

Hey everyone!

[ And she takes another scoop of chocolate pudding with her spoon. ]

Before I was on a totally different ship and some casino planet. Not a western. Did I fall asleep or something?

[huaaaaagh]

[Kirito's not that great with awkward quiet either, and he can tell he's upset her. It's really bothering him that he can't remember anything about her, too- misunderstandings can be cleared up, and offenses can be apologized for, but you can't conjure up memories so easily. He'd learned that the hard way while fighting Death Gun.]

Maybe, ah... you could tell me how we met? Or how you know Asuna. I might just need a reminder to jog my memory!

[ If he can't recall such an important memory in an instant, then she finds it useless to bring up the day they met, their first duel against each other. She doesn't answer, standing in awkward silence for a moment longer.

Maybe she's acting a little too hasty, but that's what she does sometimes like dragging Asuna off without prior notice. Oops. What are timeline differences? There's no UI interface she can pop up to log out, so she does the next best thing: cut the broadcast. Bye Kirito! ]

[huaaaaagh]

Ah--!

[He was about to tell her to wait, but- damn, she was way too quick. And since he doesn't have her contact info, it's not like he can just call her back. She could just ignore him, anyway.

He'll have to remember her, though. He's definitely missing something...]
