[Ruri woke up, she was of two minds and neither of them meshed.  It'd be easier if that other voice wasn't screaming things in her head like 'memory default' or 'faulty backup data, please express caution' then other loud thoughts about cheerleader tryouts for next year didn't scream in her head in retaliation.]

"I....  So many memories...."

[Phone]

"I....  I am having odd thoughts...  Bad thoughts...  Ones that would make baby Jesus cry.  Does anyone want to help me forget about them?  I turn 16 on Thursday so maybe we could plan a party, or you could help me train for the chee....  No.  Those are stupid.  Such a headache.  Omoikane is trying to run a system scan on me but it keeps coming up in fault.  Does anyone else have things like this going on?"

[Ruri is sitting at the edge of the pool with a confused look]

"I know I prefer doing this but gosh, I need to practice if I want to make the team.  No.  Wait.  Still not right."

"Ruri, are you okay?"

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I... I don't know? I have so many things in my head and... None of them make sense."

[bridesearching.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you need to a break, Ruri. You must be stressed out with your birthday coming up and trying to make the cheerleader team!"

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Is... That what it is? Then... The Space? So many things in my head..."

[bridesearching.livejournal.com]

"Huh? The Space? Hmm, why don't we hang out? Maybe that'll help? I'd love to spend some time with you, Ruri." [ A giggle. ] "You're going to be so much older than me soon~"

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. But, maybe it was a nightmare."

"Hey, I'm just turning 16! Its not that big a deal, but maybe if you want to come over and help me practice, or go to the pool later..."

[bridesearching.livejournal.com]

"Let's go to the pool! It's such a nice day. But maybe I can help you practice, too! Then maybe I can join the team when I'm sixteen too."

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"For some reason.. I can't remember why I didn't make it last year. Can you remember why I didn't make the team?"

...Ruri, are you okay? You were so excited about your birthday last week.

[bridesearching.livejournal.com]

"Umm... I don't know -- but it's okay! I bet you'll make it this year!"

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I... I should remember it though, so.. I don't make that mistake again... Right?"

[bridesearching.livejournal.com]

"Why don't we ask one of the girls on the team? They'll be happy to help. I'm sure of it."

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I feel... Wrong.. I've been in Mayfield all my life, right Mrs. Laufeyjarson? I... I'm having flashes to another me that never came to Mayfield and... I'm just so confused."

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I... Can't remember their names either... Ugh.. What is a memory default error?"

What is wrong with everyone today?

[doudemoe]

Is something wrong?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Maybe food poisoning? Just my head... I..."

[She sighs and rubs her eyes]

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Minato. How long have I lived in Mayfield?"

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should rest a little.

[doudemoe]

Eh? We've been here all our lives. Unless I've known a different Ruri all this time.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

You're saying such weird things!

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I... I see."

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Don't you think it's a little weird?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Do... Do you think it would help me get past this? I wasn't out in the sun too much yesterday, was I?"

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I... I don't know. I've been having these memories about other places, and this place not being right and.. I'm confused."
