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.

"Right!" He nods.

"So, um-- Where're you from, Euphie? I'm from Xenotime." He could be going back to his basketball, but he really doesn't feel like it. The last basket he'd tried to shoot had ended with the ball hitting him in the head.

[themerryway]

"Xenotime... I haven't heard of it, I'm sorry." She smiles apologetically, but continues. "I'm from Britannia. What is Xenotime like?"

[greennotgold]

Xenotime is pretty small, so he's not surprised. "I haven't heard of Britannia," he replies. "Ah, but Xenotime is really nice. It's really small and in the middle of the desert, but me and my brother are growing plants there."

[themerryway]

She pauses momentarily, thrown by how someone couldn't have heard of Britannia, but continues on.

"You're a gardener, then? How lovely! What kind of plants did you grow?"

[greennotgold]

"Mostly things that can help the agriculture and the irrigation system we're setting up." Big words from a tiny child! He continues, "There aren't very many flowers and things just for decoration, but we'll move on to those next."

1/2

[themerryway]

Quiet for a moment, Euphemia hesitates as she lets that sink in.

[themerryway]

"Wow," she finally says. "Amazing! Everyone there must be very proud of you two brothers. Do you get along well with him?"

[greennotgold]

He smiles a little shyly, ducking his eyes a bit. If only the people there felt that way... "Yeah! He's my best friend. And he's here with me, so this place is a little less scary because of that."

[themerryway]

"I'm happy for you, Fletcher," she says, and knows the comfort of someone familiar being here in this disorienting place. "It's a shame that either of you have to be taken from home, but it's good to be together. A sister and brother of mine are also here... it's really very nice."

[greennotgold]

A sister and brother... Huh. "Do you have a lot of brothers and sisters then? I'm glad they're here with you, either way!"

[themerryway]

"That's right! I have many, many siblings. It's a very large family to say the least. When..." And her train of thought is completely derailed just then, just like that. She frowns and looks around before looking back to Fletcher, finger to her cheek. "I... completely forgot what I was talking about, I'm sorry."

[greennotgold]

"Oh..." Was there something wrong with what he'd said? His face fell. "Um-- sorry. That's okay... What're your brother and sister's names?"

[themerryway]

"Oh, no," she says, seeing his face fall. "It isn't you, I'm sorry. It's happened a few times. I'll start to talk about something but then completely forget... it seems like it might have to do with the memories they've taken from us." And she pauses, to laugh sheepishly. "Lelouch and Nunnally are the ones who are here. What's your brother's name? What's he like?"

[greennotgold]

"Oh! Nunnally's one of my roommates!" But Fletcher shifted awkwardly. "I, um-- I don't know my brother's name. I can't remember..."

[themerryway]

"Nunnally is a very kind girl! I'm sure you and her could be fast friends." She smiles brightly at the first, but her smile softens as he can't recall.

Euphemia would reach out and pat his shoulder if she could, but she can't. Yes, this is part of this place as much as the walls are: his memory of his brother's name must have been taken from him. "I'm sorry..."

[greennotgold]

"Mm..." He and Nunnally have already gotten along a bit; they should get to know each other better.

"Ah-- I'll remember eventually. Once my brother gets enough tokens to buy me some Memory Charms, anyway." He tries to smile, but it's wavery. There are ten memories to recover; it could take a long time to get that one back.

[themerryway]

"Yes!" Euphemia, on the other hand, is optimistic. It may have something to do with her already having gotten two of her own memories back, but she smiles at him, hopeful. "We've gotten coins every round so far, right...? We might get more the next round. It might take a little while, but it isn't without hope."

[greennotgold]

"Ah-- maybe! Just as long as we don't have to fight." He nods. "I hope so."

[themerryway]

"Yes... things will work out, I'm sure of it."
