"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

It's all right... if you remember later, it's not like I'm going anywhere.

I-I mean, unless I get kidnapped again.

[intendance]

...I guess that's always a possibility in a place like this, huh? Let's try to avoid that, though!

Maybe I just wanted to talk to you, ha ha! I guess that's a possibility.

[bloodandblunder]

It... could be. You seemed really excited, though... whatever it was.

video;

[intendance]

[ . . . . ]

That proooobably doesn't say much, huh? I think I would be excited about most anything out of the ordinary here.

video;

[bloodandblunder]

Er... yes, you would be...

Was it something you were doing before, then?

video;

[intendance]

...Maybe... I think I was looking for things...

I haven't found any food though, so I'm not sure what I would be so excited about.

[she just rummages around, thoughtful.]

You're not busy, are you, Noire?

video;

[bloodandblunder]

Not at the moment, no... I mean, if I was, I would have told you.

video;

[intendance]

...Hm! All right!

Then what are you doing right now?

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I was... trying to make a talisman. [ trying very hard!! ]

video;

[intendance]

Huh, really? What are you making the talisman for?

video;

[bloodandblunder]

For me, originally... if I can find some way to test it and make sure it works, I'll make one for Hinata, too. So I can remember him, whenever we return home... and so I can keep my promise to try and help his world.

[intendance]

[... oh no. Noire's really serious about this, isn't she...?]

That's a great idea! Good work, Noire. Let's hope it works so we can remember everyone we met here!

I didn't know you can do memory talismen though!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I... I've never actually tried...

[ And she ducks her head, embarrassed. ]

B-but I thought... if nothing else, I should at least put all my efforts into it.

video;

[intendance]

I can't wait to see if it works! It's a great idea--

[ . . . . . . . . ]

If it doesn't work, we'll never know, won't we.

[bloodandblunder]

...

Maybe I should ask Henry to curse me with temporary amnesia?

video;

[intendance]

...That's probably not a good idea. It'd make more sense for me, right?

I mean, since if it doesn't work, and Henry's curse is too strong, I've already got amnesia, so it's not a big deal!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

But if I've somehow made it through years of Mother's curses, I think I could at least recover... and I couldn't ask you to test this for me.

[intendance]

[...]

If you're sure! I mean, you know best when it comes to thinks like this.

Just be careful, all right?

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I-I will! I'll be very cautious!

video;

[intendance]

Hmm...Then I suppose that's all right.

Just remember, we'd all be really sad if you forgot us! ...Even if it might relieve some of your stress.

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I think sometimes there's... good stress, like the kind you get from family, that's sort of unavoidable...

video;

[intendance]

Hmm...is there?

[this one doesn't ever stress...]

That's interesting! I never knew... so you'd rather keep that stress, but not the rest?

video;

[bloodandblunder]

Well, if I had to keep stress at all... it'd be that.

video;

[intendance]

I suppose I can understand that. After all, family is pretty important, and you have a lot of stresses about your family in particular!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I'd be relieved if I didn't, but at this point... I don't really think it can be helped.
