lucetilogs | EVENT LOG - Amnesia again

[He blinks at the tiny finger in his face.]

Uh... okay, sure! [He looked over at Petunia in the tank. Sure, he couldn't be family, but could he have been some dear friend?] But... how do I do that?

Well! See, my card says Prince Petunia was once a really gallant prince! But then he got cursed. And it's up to me to figure out who did it and break the curse! So...we haveta look for suspicious people, I guess? And figure out who would want to harm him!

[ this sounds pretty logical to Ikki. And now that her team is growing, surely Petunia can be restored to normal!

Although admittedly the card didn't say he was a human prince, but she's glossing over that right now. ]

A... prince? Okay, Ikki. I'm gonna do what I can to help. Do you have any idea where to start?

[Helping people out. It feels like something he should be doing.]

Yeah! [ After a second of looking through her pockets - she comes up with a handful of marbles, half a chocolate bar, and a hair tie - Ikki finds her card, and hands it over, cheerfully. ] Number three, see?

I think what we haveta do is figure out who lives in our house, an' then we should, like...look around for suspicious people? I bet it'll be someone nearby!

[He takes a look at the card. Wow, she handed it over so readily. He takes in all of the other bits, too - although she mentioned the deceased grandfather already, it felt sad to be reminded of it. He hoped inwardly that she still had family, unlike him.]

But probably not someone living in this house. We're all friends if we live together, right?

Right! [ Ikki's willing enough to agree to that idea. She's not certain why she would live with anyone who wasn't her friend, really. Living with all her friends sounds like the best way to live, so she's fairly certain anyone in this house has to be. ]

I just wasn't sure who you were, at first! 'Cause you were, well, standing really close to Petunia, so I thought maybe... [ She looks a little sheepish, but, well, this was important stuff! ]

So, it's not you or me or Katara or - ...well, there're more rooms than that, but I'm not sure who else lives here, actually! But the people who're here are definitely innocent! So we're looking for someone else!

It's okay that you were suspicious of me. I do look pretty weird, and you're little, after all. [And he thinks it's be worse if she could see his skin condition.] I didn't mean to scare you, Ikki.

But... right! We'll have to investigate outside. Maybe the one behind this didn't get too far...

It was just 'cause you were so close to Petunia, I thought maybe you were cursin' him. [ Speaking of Petunia. Ikki checks in on the starfish, and goes about feeding him, something her card had instructed her to do.

He might be stuck as a starfish, but her princely friend definitely won't go hungry! ]

Right!! So we just have to go check around, right, Bonzu?

That sounds like a good plan. We should head out whenever you're ready. [Pause] Why don't we take Petunia with us? That way he can identify whoever cursed him!

[Surely this is brilliance.]

[ OF COURSE IT IS, and Ikki looks suitably impressed! ]

You're right! I'm sure if we find that person, he'll be able to tell us, somehow! [ Okay give her a few minutes, she legitimately has no clue where anything is in this house - oh hey closet. Oh, cool, beach toys? They're pink, Ikki approves! So she's just going to abscond with this pink plastic bucket and go back over to the tank. ]

[He just watches, figuring she's more accustomed to dealing with the starfish. But he looks into the tank as she brings the bucket over.]

Come on, Petunia. Let's find your justice, together.

[ Ikki's honestly touched by that line. Petunia deserves justice, after all, and it's nice to know that there are people who will help him find it!

She actually doesn't think too hard about how to get him out of the tank, just like she wasn't overthinking feeding him - it seems familiar enough, even if she doesn't remember ever doing it before, and soon enough Petunia is in his bucket, probably wondering what the hell was going on. Or not, because there was still a lot of water and stuff to cling to, and he'd just been fed. Life was good in starfish land. ]

Right! We'll definitely, definitely turn you back!

[He watched carefully as Petunia was brought into the bucket and then led Ikki inside.]

I wonder what Petunia's like as a person. If he still has his memories, he could tell us more about ourselves and why we all live together.

I bet he does!! ...And, well! Katara's my family - the card said! - so that's probably why I live with her.

[ She eyes him, curiously. ] Well, you could be family! Or Prince Petunia's butler. You kinda look like a butler, 'cause of all the clothes. [ excellent deduction, right ] Oh! Or maybe Katara and I run an inn! That could be fun. We could meet lots of people!

[He shakes his head and speaks somewhat quickly.]

We're not family. [And he looks down at his clothes, wondering what's so odd about them. He's not even sure if this is what he normally wears.] The other ones... all make sense. I guess I might be a butler? But my card didn't say anything about that.

Well, my card didn't say loooooooots of things that are probably true. It's only four things! I bet there's lots more than four things. I think you're probably Prince Petunia's subject! You can be his royal firebender! His royal firebender butler.

A royal firebender butler? I'd be honored, Ikki. It's definitely more to go on than I already have. [What a cute kid.]

Yep! You just have to look at the clues. Like, we both know we live here! But my card didn't say that. So that's something we know! Ummm, I also know that I like alllllllll the colours I can think of!

You're a pretty smart little girl. I guess I am learning a lot! I also know that I have a lot of bright clothes for some reason. I wonder what they're for.

What colours are they? Maybe they're your royal firebending gear!!

Maybe they are! There were a few different kinds of clothes that had red, yellow and orange. That does sound like the color of fire.

They definitely are! [ Ikki sounds pretty firm about this. What else could they possibly be? ] You're a royal firebender butler!

...Huh. Actually, most of my clothes are like that, too! Maybe we both work for Prince Petunia, an' that's how we know one another!

Hey, that makes sense! And maybe Katara has clothes like that, too. But why would Prince Petunia hire people so young?

...Maybe we're in training? Or maybe he's young, too! And so he hired people his age!

[ Although she's pretty certain she's a fair amount younger than anyone else in the house, so far. ]

Yeah, that does make sense. You're real good at figuring things out. Maybe that's how you got to work for the prince!
