Who: Ino and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Three Twins only
When: Tonight!

[ action only -- for anyone who might be keeping an eye on her while she's been unconscious ]

[ It's been a few days, and while she's been asleep, a few strange changes have occurred ... her face and hair a little longer, her body a little more filled out -- so on and so forth. A couple of days is no time at all when you're busy remembering a whole year or two worth of memories!

But tonight is when she suddenly groans and moves to sit up a little, face in her hands for a moment as she rubs her eyes. ... And then she's looking around. ]

... Wait. What?

[ broadcast; ]

[ A somewhat familiar -- but a little older looking -- blonde appears on the network. She takes a moment to fix her hair before she speaks. ]

Well ... hi again, everyone. I guess I'm back now? Super weird, but what else is new, right? -- Did I miss anything exciting?

... What... do you remember?

[oh god am i going to have to explain the shit I did. oh god oh god oh god.]

[ She pinches the bridge of her nose. ]

A bunch of stuff from home, mostly.

[ She looks up at Nightingale. ]

Look, whatever happened, I'm sure it didn't actually knock me out that long. That happens when you go home sometimes.

... Right.

[Oh, god, this is so awkward.]

Well... I'm sorry for knocking you out on the ground anyway?

... yeah.

[ But now she's curious. ]

Out of curiosity, why did you do that?

[She turns very red in embarrassment, and looks like she'd quite like the floor to just swallow her now. It's okay if there's nothing beneath the floor besides outer space, that would still be an improvement.]

You- You startled me, that's all!

... Oh.

[ It's taking a lot of willpower to not say "Is that all"? Sorry, Nightingale. ]

Are ... you alright?

I'm fine. Really. You just snuck up on me and I panicked.

[She never once claimed to be well-adjusted.]

[ ... Was that a snort? It might have been. ]

I mean, being sneaky is kind of my job.

[Not sneaky enough, because she heard that.]

Don't laugh!

I'm not laughing.

[ She is very much grinning, though. ]

[what if i just shove a spare pillow in your face to stop that. because that is what i'm doing.]

[ You will get some muffled pillow laughing, followed by: ]

You don't have to be so embarrassed, you know. No harm done.

[well, she's red anyway. and also not removing the pillow.]

I'll be embarrassed as long as you're laughing!

I'm laughing more at how you're reacting now than anything, honestly.

[ She's gently pushing the pillow away ... to fix her hair. Wow, that sure has gotten long. ]

Yeah, well.

[HUFFS.

... and then she actually takes a closer look.]

Huh. Your hair got as long as mine now... Just how much from home did you remember?
