WHO: Aki and (you!)
WHERE: All around Recolle
WHEN: Mid-April, it's flexible but spans the three day questing limit
WHAT: Another victim of memloss wandering around, trying to solve a problem. If you'd like to plan anything specific for wildcard or the like, just shoot me a pm! We can work something out.
WARNINGS: uhhh probably nothing! I'll adjust accordingly if necessary.



[At the very least, it's a good reminder for her that from now on, no more wandering around by herself.

Much like everyone else unfortunate enough to lose themselves, Aki wanders the forest until she's drawn to the spot where the witch's house resides. By that point she's completely lost her memories, but she can't say panic is what falls over her first. It's more like...confusion, but there's no anxiety that follows. The truth is with a lot of her loved ones missing lately, forgetting them was a lot more convenient for her emotional state. It's almost like a huge weight's been lifted off of her shoulders, even if she can't remember why.

It's about then that the witch makes an appearance, offering the same deal she did to everyone else. An identity, even if it's nothing more than a name, but it's more than she had five seconds ago.

Nobuyuki.

Briefly she wonders if her new name holds any meaning to her, but in the end she can't place it at all. The only memories she has left don't give any indication of its importance, so she decides to ignore whatever it is that nags at her. She figures she ought to focus on the task she's been assigned instead.

Be honest with people...?

[She hums thoughtfully before beginning to make her way out of the forest.]

[1]

[The first spot you may find Aki wandering is none other than Viea Village. Having checked her phone and gone sleuthing for answers, she notices she's spoken a lot to some girl named Yuuko, even if their last correspondence was quite a while ago. It only takes another bit of sleuthing before she finds her house too, arriving at the front door and ringing the doorbell. Unfortunately, given how distant Aki's been to her lately, she doesn't really respond well to anything that comes right after; with Aki telling her that she's lost her memory, that she doesn't know who yuuko is or if she's important to her, as well as attempts to show her the retrospec app that all amounts to nothing but one upset former best friend. She shoves Aki back just enough to slam the door shut...buuut despite it all, Aki just turns away from the door and walks away from it, stopping outside Yuuko's front garden.]

Weird. I mean, I was being honest...

[Oh well! She pulls out her phone and starts looking over more names to follow up on.]


[2]

[Unfortunately her second most talked to contact is Sakura. Given they broke up for reasons Sakura can't understand given her disconnection from the network, she responds about as well to Aki's sudden appearance as Yuuko did. A lot of nonsense about lost memories and and not even recognising her name, resulting in about the same response. Another door slammed in her face, another upset girl.

Again she's just standing there unaffected. All she can really think to herself is...
]

...I wonder if I'm just bad with women?

[AGAIN, OH WELL.

But this time she's a little low on the frequent contacts front, so when she exits Sakura's apartment reading over her conversations on her phone, she neglects to do things the difficult way and instead approaches the nearest person who walks by, even laying a hand to their shoulder (or arm, for you giants) to get their attention.
]

Hey, hold on a second. Mind if I ask you something?

[Alternatively, here's your quickfire round of list of locations she can be found.

First up is the arcade; initially you might find her inspecting the games but neglecting to actually play, just watching other people (maybe you!) at work. Alternatively wait around a little longer and you might find her being angrily questioned by her boss on where she's been the past two days and why she's ignored their calls. Unfortunately her current situation has her looking really blasé about the whole thing, much to her boss' annoyance. Please save her from getting her ass fired.

Second we have outside of Churchill Downs, where a chocobo's taken to run off from where it should be to approach her, immediately bumping its head against her playfully with the occasional, affectionate rub of its face against hers. Normally she's around frequently just to see the chocobos when she has spare time, so it's likely one that just remembers her from before...but she lacks the usual enthusiasm she has for the birds, just watching it like it's Not Really That Normal Actually. She also looks to the nearest person with an expression that seems to ask why no one else is weirded out by the giant bird.

Annnd lastly...her constant searching leaves her hungry, yet she doesn't have any money on her. So this really could occur any place you'd find something to eat...that she could reasonably swipe. Maybe it's one of Recolle's many bakeries or maybe Freshens, maybe it's not the first time today she's done it. Maybe you've trailed her and seen her at this a few times already. Either way she's taken something small and easily concealed and now she's trying to casually slide on out of the place without paying. What will you do?

You're trying to steal--

[Well. Aki did give her a strong impression of being kind of weird, so Soleil decides to drop it.]

Never mind. A date is just what you need to get you into a good mood, so leave it to Soleil to save the damsel in distress once again.

No idea! We only got coffee last time, so I don't have a great idea of what you're into.

[She could have sworn she remembers Aki mentioning having a girlfriend. Maybe she is playing along? Hmm.]

What are you in the mood for? I can always go for a burger.

Alriiight.

[Any way you look at it, that is a weird request. This is extra weird given how quickly Aki was to point out she had a girlfriend the first time Soleil hit on her.

...Maybe something happened. That must be it.

She hooks an arm around Aki's.

Do what comes natural, got it.

[A wink. Yeah, she gets it.]
