[missmimmi]

Is it just me or... does the sudden influx of people seem. Familiar somehow?

Maybe it is just me.

So, ah, welcome everyone?

[missmimmi]

[WELP suddenly awkward.]

Um. I suppose it has?

Herp this is video btw

[navidtrifecta]

[He expects an odd look on her face, surprise perhaps, but the complete lack of recognition throws him off.]

Mimmi you do know who I am, don't you?

video all the waaaay 8D

[missmimmi]

I... am sorry. I do not.

Were we acquainted on the ship?

[So many people have come and gone she tends to forget some.]

/o/

[navidtrifecta]

[Ouch. He knew this might happen but it doesn't help that it still feels like a sword in the gut to hear it.

There's a mixture of regret and sadness on his face as he offers a paltry smile.]

Yes, we were close. You were a bit younger then, I think. Sixteen perhaps?

Re: /o/

[missmimmi]

[Now she feels bad. But. There isn't much she can do.]

Oh. I see.

[She pauses.]

...Sixteen? But I was no--

[Oh. Oh. She remembers, when she first arrived on the ship, Remy and a few others had explained to her that she had been on board before. At sixteen, apparently.

This man must have known the other her. How... bizarre.]

Ah. That must have been my first time on board.

[navidtrifecta]

[That explains it. He remembers how things worked on board. People would go, and whenever they came back they wouldn't remember they were there, or would be older. Younger. Different somehow.

It's a shame it's not the Mimmi he knows, but at least there's some small measure of relief that some version of her is alive and well.]

I see. That makes sense.

Are you okay here? You're...well? Happy, I hope?

[missmimmi]

Ja. It can be rather pleasant. Much quieter than the ship.

[navidtrifecta]

Is it safer?

[This is quietly asked, but no less important to him.]

[missmimmi]

I would not... go that far.

[navidtrifecta]

[His hands clench.]

If not, are there those here who would help keep you safe?

[missmimmi]

[Have a reassuring smile.]

Ja, there are plenty of people here who look out for me.

[navidtrifecta]

[It helps, but only marginally. He smiles back.]

So, what do you do to keep busy around here, hm?

[missmimmi]

Oh, believe me, everything I do is quite boring.

[navidtrifecta]

Humor me?

[missmimmi]

All right, all right. Well. I have been... sewing. I knew basics long before I left home, but there was no real need for it on the ship. But the clothing situation is a bit different here, so I figured it was something I should keep up with.

Or... I visit Logan. Or Lily. Or whoever else.

[And sometimes she goes to the music room to dance but that's a secret.]

Nothing very interesting, I told you.

[navidtrifecta]

That sounds nice though.

[He recognizes Lily's name, but not Logan's. Trying not to be a creeper, trying not to overstep, he refrains from asking who the guy is. Friend or boyfriend, it's not his business since she doesn't know him like the last Mimmi did.]

It's good to hear, even if you claim it's not very interesting.

[missmimmi]

Well... I am glad you think so, anyway.

[Pause]

Oh, how rude of me. I never asked your name.

[navidtrifecta]

It's fine, sweetheart. My name's Navid. Won't be here for long I think so don't worry about remembering it.

[missmimmi]

Oh. Why do you say that?

[navidtrifecta]

These things never last.

[missmimmi]

Oh, I... suppose they do not?

[navidtrifecta]

[He can't really do this anymore. She doesn't know him and he's not going to beat his head against the wall about it.]

Take care of yourself okay? Don't get used to relying on others to take care of you.

[Navid says this like a good bye.]
