25 days

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[a set of double doors suddenly swing open early this morning - she never really had a proper sense of day and night in the castle - and a girl Sora wanders through, expression switching from slightly worried, to shocked, to bewildered.]

Whoa... Naminé?

[it's been 25 days since she picked a fight and lost to Axel, and subsequently woke up back home - 25 days to go about her business, and to be properly and completely broken.]

But I..

[seasides]

What?

[frowns worriedly.]

If it's a memory thing, there are lots of Naminés here that might be able to help.

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

Really? Where?

[seasides]

I'm not sure off the top of my head, but there are dozens of them around. I could help you find one, if you'd like.

[smiles! also the mun actually has one from like... the beginning of CoM.]

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[brightens considerably.]

Okay! Thanks ... ... Kai.

[seasides]

It's no problem, Sora.

[yay happierSora! though now he's wondering where to start looking hmm.]

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[beats the heck out of her. Sora will follow, though -- she remembers this place well enough. or at least, she remembers places in passing.]

[seasides]

[well... the main area's always a good place to start, right?]

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[yes it is! it's also a place she definitely remembers, glancing around curiously.]

[seasides]

[well, it looks like there's a Naminé passing through on the other side of the room!]

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

Naminé!

[waves frantically, running off in her direction.]

[paintedpastel.livejournal.com]

[Kai shakes his head and follows after, and Naminé stops short, surprised.]

S-Sora?

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

Hey, Naminé!

[lookit that grin.]

[paintedpastel.livejournal.com]

Hi, Sora.

[That grin is contagious enough that it gets a small smile from her, though she glances between Sora and Kai curiously.]

How, um... how can I help you...?

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

Well, I .. Can you fix memories?

[paintedpastel.livejournal.com]

[Aw, so that's why she was so enthusiastic. She just nods, looking sympathetic.]

I can. It'd take a while, though.

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

That's okay! What can I do to help?

1/2

[paintedpastel.livejournal.com]

I... well...

[After a moment, she looks to Kai for help.]

[seasides]

Sora... the memory thing is a pretty long process, and most of the time, Soras end up getting put to sleep for it. The normal amount of time is about a year. It's possible Naminé won't be able to fix your memories with you awake.

[pauses, running a hand through his hair.]

Not to mention your Roxas is probably not here... that could be a problem if you do get put to sleep.

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

... A whole year? -- Roxas?

[seasides]

Roxas is your Nobody. She's a part of you, and in most worlds she's needed in order to wake you up again.

[Naminé seems fine with letting him talk, since he knows more about all this.]

It's... probably possible for you to have your memories fixed while you're awake, but it could cause problems.

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[immediately puts her hands up, and waves them a little.]

I don't want to make it difficult on anybody.. What's the easiest thing I can do?

[seasides]

[looks thoughtful, then brightens a little.]

Hold on, let me talk to Naminé about something real quick.

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[should she plug her ears? or just stare off into space while they talk? let's go with the latter.]

[paintedpastel.livejournal.com]

[After a quiet conversation with Kai, Naminé comes back over to Sora.]

Um... if you don't mind it taking a while, I can work on you a little every day, for an hour or two while you nap...
