[March 5, Video/Text]

[This time the video is very brief. Kaname smiles at the camera with Q-Lulu positioned in front of it. She looks at the mercat and opens her mouth before suddenly stopping, smile leaving her face. There's another moment before she reaches over and turns off the feed, expression troubled.

A few minutes later, a text message appears.]

People have had strange things happen to them here, right? Sudden changes. How long do those usually last? [Another moment follows, then another question.] Has anything not gone back to normal?

[Bloodsport and Iskaulit, Until the 9th]

[Following that, for the rest of the week, Kaname will be going about her usual routines. However, anyone who runs into her may notice she more withdrawn and not singing at all. Running, dancing, working out, grabbing a bite, the singer is solo for all of these.]

[What was she just looking at? A catfish? No, that name is already taken.]

Well, I'm part cat now, so you could say strange things happen. [Remember her from the time she was drunk and also not at all a cat?] About a week? Or more or less which is probably not the most helpful. Changing back kind of depends on what caused it in the first place though.

(OOC: Description of her cat look under the video portion with some visual aids.)

[The most important question here, clearly.

Kaname sticks to text, but her eyebrows shoot up at Kitty's appearance. How literal...]

What you mean what caused it in the first place?

[And one more thing.] Are you feeling all right?

[ text ]

[tempredmental]

I was turned into a nine-year-old for a while.

[Yeah... he hadn't been thrilled about that one.

But, he also knew that Kaname was probably pretty worried right about now. Her voice was important.]

I'm sure it'll be fine and come back soon.

[She rolls on with video since typing is harder with the claws anyway, but she is curious about the text and the sudden switch to it before.

...A fishcat?]

Strange things can have different causes. It might be an augment malfunction from the Atroma, but it could be someone's powers doing something unexpected or maliciously. Or an effect of a plant we're on or near. I mean, not right now, but at other times.

You're probably thinking of a right now thing though, aren't you?

[ text ]

[axi]

[Oh yeah. That was a thing.]

Thanks, Keith. That helps.

[And it does, especially the fact he picked up on it right away. Of course, she's still concerned, but not as much now.]

[Kaname smiles halfheartedly at the observation. Credit where credit is due and all that.]

A very right now thing, yes, but not nearly as extreme as yours.

[passingthrough]

What is your thing? You cut out pretty abruptly.

[axi]

I can't talk. [Or sing.] Lost my voice I believe.

[passingthrough]

Ah. So, exactly what it looked like then. [She figured there'd be more to it. Lost memories. Sudden realization of something else that had changed. Who knows.] It's probably worth a stop at your ship's medical person just to make sure it isn't something more mundane.

Sometimes things get a little weird, but it always goes back to normal. Just not right away...

[mikangirl]

[Aw, Kaname. That has to suck for someone who makes a living off her voice; it'd be like Nami losing her sense of direction.]

...it's probably a glitch. Just try and ride it out, I know it sucks.

You want me to take a look and make sure it's not a throat infection or something? Or maybe Aerith could help.

[axi]

Maybe, but I don't think it is. It happened too suddenly and completely.

[Kitty, she's a singer!! There doesn't need to be more to it!]

Still, that is a good idea. Thank you.

text;

[axi]

You would know better than me.

[Kaname can't help but smile a little.]

[axi]

It really does.

[Bless you, Nami. You're a good captain and friend.]

I'm sure it's not that, but it can't hurt. Do you have time?

video;

[livesfastdiesung]

Only a little! It hasn't happened to me that often.

[mikangirl]

I do. Where are you right now?

[passingthrough]

No, probably not. Just something to rule out.

Good thing we have the texting here. That wasn't a thing in the last place I was at.

[axi]

It makes sense.

[Kaname sort of remembers Kitty mentioning that place before, and it seemed strange then.]

Really? Did things like this happen there too?

video;

[axi]

I hope it doesn't. It's already unpleasant enough.

Practice is called off until this ends. At least practice with me.

[axi]

My office.

Thank you, Nami.

[passingthrough]

They were less individual back there. If this was happening there then it would probably be something where a lot of us lost our voice or lost our voice or our ability to hear or went blind or some combination or variation on the theme. Or we'd be part or full animal of any kind of animal in my case. In fact, I'm sure both of those things happened there. I had cheetah spots once and a friend was a turtle.

There it would only last one day and be done, but it happened a lot more often. Usually a couple of times a week?

(OOC: It was a 1:7 game, so events felt closer together for characters than they were.)

[livesfastdiesung]

I'll keep practicing until you can use your voice again!
You'd get mad if I didn't, right?

action;

[aspearing]

[ The moment that Alisha spots Kaname is the moment that she notices that something seems off. The distant expression tells her that much. ]

Kaname? Good afternoon. [ It's not her business, but... if something is wrong, then perhaps it's something Alisha can help with. ]

[mikangirl]

I'll be right there.

[Via detour to pick up one of the roaming first aid kits on board. She also doubts very much this is anything but a glitch, but it's a good idea to rule out anything else. Honestly, the glitch is probably the best scenario. At least it will end cleanly.

There's a knock on the door a minute later, and she sticks her head in.] Hey.

[axi]

[Yikes.]

That sounds like overkill to me. You really just had to deal with it?
