Characters: Euphemia and you~
Format: prose, action
This log is: open!
Location: The gym!
Summary: Euphemia realizes she's forgotten how to dance.
Warnings: Will update as necessary!

Euphemia is walking up and down the gymnasium, looking quite lost. On her feet are a pair of ballet slippers. She seems to start to do something before falling back, unsure and dazed. This goes on for quite a while, the girl sighing quietly to herself with every try.

"Ah… how strange…" she says to herself. Though she figures it isn't that strange. After all, bigger chunks of her memories are missing. Euphie frowns, and tries to focus. She closes her eyes, slowly steps forwards. Yes, try to-- to rely on muscle memory, rather than brain memory.

She moves to stand on her toes, taking a few light steps, uneasy and legs quivering. But that ends itself rather quick as she topples over-- possibly onto you! Or the floor, depending, and she falls hard, letting out a squeak of surprise as she does it.

I think so. It's a shame... I really loved to dance. [ then, after a moment of hesitation: ] What about you, Kevin?

Me? [Have a confused blink, Euphemia.]

Ah, yes... Sorry if it's out of line for me to ask, but have you lost anything like this?

[Oh. Right, he should've known that. Give him a moment to feel stupid before he answers, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Yeah. Probably haven't figured out most of them but I can't remember why I play tennis or who my best friend is. [He pauses, then gives this awkward little smile.] I had forgotten my mom's face too but a- [pause] ... some guy got me a charm so I remember that now.

Ah, charms--! My Player bought me two. I remembered my mother's face as well, and the smell of the grass.

I hope you can get charms and regain your memories as quickly as possible, Kevin. It's not fair that they've been taken from us as if they were toys.

Smell of the grass? They take away little things like that too? [Have a blank stare as he has this horrid thought that maybe he's not as normal/lucky as he thought he was.]

Apparently they do... I was surprised as well. I wouldn't even have noticed something like that... I didn't, not until it came back to me.

... oh. [And then Kevin falls silent. He seems speculative but his face has taken on a slightly... embarrassed look.] Uh, can I ask a question?

[ she looks at him curiously, nodding once ] Yes, that's fine.

... [He gives her this long, searching look before... shutting his mouth. He can't do it, it's too embarrassing.] I... no, nevermind. Forget it. [And then he'll just rub the back of his neck and turn away going red.

How do you ask how to turn on lightbulbs?]

[ She pauses before laughing at his embarrassment. She can't help it, it's cute. ] Are you sure? Please don't be shy, Kevin!

[At her laughter Kevin whirls back around to face her with an irritated (read: embarrassed) look.]

I'm not shy, I'm just... figuring out how to word it! [Yeah, right. Oh man he is being so lame right now...] Just... look, you know how every room has a light?
