Nicole wasn’t quite sure of what to say to that, partially because she couldn’t quite relate. She couldn’t even remember the last time she stopped by a library in general honestly. She simply never had much time to do so, not in her last life anyway. So she just nodded in a somewhat slow manner as she glanced around at their surroundings again. “ I see. . Do you like researching anything specific? . . Or are you one of those ‘learn anything and everything’ types? ” Sparing a glance over at Ienzo as she asked this, before returning her gaze to the nearby buildings and other scenery.

Although she didn’t seem exactly. . enthusiastic as she spoke, she was genuinely curious about what Ienzo researched. Showing emotions just wasn’t quite her thing, unless said emotion was smug or annoyed. In those cases, she’s the queen.

━ She wasn’t nicknamed the Ice Cold Assassin for nothing after all.

AT LEAST HALF of ienzo’s life belongs to the library, though that could also be due to not remembering most things from their past. their work takes up their life because it’s one of the only parts of their life that they’ve ever known. they know that they should at least try to make an effort to recover some of their lost memories, but part of them wonders whether it’s worth it. ❝ oh, there’s nothing specific. i’m more of a science person myself, but i’ll research anything if i consider it interesting enough. ❞ then again, they consider just about anything to be interesting enough if it’s presented to them in the right way.

it isn’t long before they spot the saturnalia down the street, and they point towards it, looking over at nicole briefly. ❝ that’s it down there, the saturnalia, ❞ they say. ❝ i don’t know what time they open, though. ❞

Nicole continued to walk with Ienzo, stopping once they pointed to the next street and nodding once. “ Oh, thank you. ” Continuing to follow their directions, she turned down the corner before she glanced towards Ienzo again. “ So. . the library huh? . .Sounds like a nice quiet job. ” Working in a library wasn’t exactly a job she’d find enjoyable - honestly she preferred the more exciting sort, the idea of being a waitress alone wasn’t one that brought a smile to her face - but she could see how others might enjoy it. Even she enjoyed peace and quiet every now and then. “ Do you like working there? ”

━ Still feeling a bit awkward asking all of this, since the two of them still barely knew each other - having just met a few minutes ago or so and all. Small talk was small talk though, it was better than uncomfortable silence, right?

WORKING AT THE university library should, by default, be a quiet job. everyone knows that you have to be quiet in a library. unfortunately, ❛ everyone ❜ does not seem to encompass a good portion of the students. just the other day they had to stop that one glimmerous law student from playing his guitar right by their desk. at least it was the acoustic one this time. ❝ you would think so, but sometimes i think the students tend to bring their parties from the weekend onto school grounds. ❞ the library included. ❝ i do like working there, though. ❞ which is lucky, considering they are sure it was a miracle that got them hired in the first place. ❝ i’ll be honest, i tend to do more research than anything else when i’m there. ❞ they’re a nerd through and through. it doesn’t matter that they aren’t actually a student there, they just absorb themselves in textbooks and research papers alike at all hours of their shift.

“ Well, I’ve honestly never been one to trust coworkers. . But I hope you’re right. ” Nicole stated this with a small but soft smirk, possibly still joking, very possibly not. In her past lifes line of work, trusting your coworkers was a very. . daring decision after all. As someone who has now been in one situation where she woke up with absolutely no memories at all, and now in one where she woke up with all of her memories but most of them didn’t line up with where she was and conflicted with each other, she probably had some sort of an advantage in regards to making friends in this town. Though that’s just it, when has she ever liked having friends? There were maybe two cases, that’s definitely not alot. ━ For now though she just continued to walk with Ienzo as she thought about what to say next for a second. “ So. . Do you have any coworkers you can rely on? ” Somewhat hesitant to ask, if only because she felt a little awkward doing so.

THEY DON’T REALLY know what to say to that, if they’re being honest. they wish they could say that they know what she means, but the coworkers they have spoken to at the university have all been fairly nice to them. then again, that doesn’t necessarily mean they trust them with everything in their life. that would be foolish. ❝ i do, ❞ they say, nodding as they continue straight ahead. ❝ not a plethora of them, but they are there. i work at the university, in the library. ❞ though they doubt anyone would think them a professor. they are still too young for that. they don’t think they would make the most effective of teachers, anyway, even if they did have the qualifications. they tend to go on tangents about the most random of things. ❝ oh, turn this corner, ❞ they say, pointing to the next street. ❝ it’s down this way. ❞

“The term magic is just what people use to explain things that don’t have an explanation, so they just say “oh some random force I can’t understand does this”. But in reality everything has an explanation, and I’m sure there’s perfectly good explanations for whats been going on lately.” Gideon sounded quite assured as he said this.

IENZO HUMS, THEIR chin resting in the palm of their hand. ❝ but if magic did exist, say in the way it did in books and movies, wouldn’t that be considered science as well ?? magic always has a system, always has ways it works and limitations and abilities that vary. don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying hogwarts is really out there or anything, but if it did, i’d be very interested in studying how their magic actually works... ❞ they have drifted from the original topic, already lost in their own thoughts.

what's the best thing that's ever happened to you?

❝ somehow managing to get a job when i didn’t have any memories or credentials. maybe it’s not the best thing that’s ever happened to me, but it’s the biggest miracle that’s ever happened to me. ❞

#answers ;#heartthorned

do you like to go christmas shopping?

❝ honestly ?? i don’t like shopping at all, but christmas shopping is even worse, because most of the time, i have no idea what to get people, and i feel embarrassed asking. most of the time i just get something generic that most people would want, but i’m never entirely satisfied with it. ❞

myde !

it’s mildly unsettling to feel his own heartbeat now , he decides last minute , because it feels like it’s going to burst . and the prospect of being in their room adds to the warmth blooming across his own face . momentarily , he can’t help but wonder if ienzo still likes the same kind of books .

with a slight nod , myde makes another quick decision as he scrambles to retrieve his notebook . “ actually , we might be better off in my room . you know , in case my roommate decides to come home early and makes it … weird . ” of course while it’s a possibility , there’s an inkling of doubt that it’ll happen . “ and now that i think about it , my bed is a lot more comfortable to relax on than the couch . ” it is , in his opinion , so when the words come out of his mouth he doesn’t think twice . myde’s once more grinning . “ c’mon ! it’s just over here . ” though he pauses again as he turns , glancing over his shoulder . “ for the record , i don’t know if i can pretend you’re not here — i mean , in theory i can , but that defeats the purpose ! i wanted you to come for a reason . ” whatever the reason is , other than just wanting to be near them .

as he guides them into his bedroom — primarily white with varying shades of blue and a bunch of dumb music posters plastered on the walls — he sighs to himself . man , demyx wishes he had arpeggio still . maybe then it’d be easier to kick-start some of ienzo’s memories like this ! not that it’s his goal right now ( right now he really just wants to play music for them ) , but for future reference maybe it would’ve helped . maybe . he played it loud and frequently enough in the organization , there’s literally no way someone can forget the distinctive sound . “ make yourself at home ! my room is your room . ” as he says it , his eyes catch glimpse of something draped across his chair . myde freezes for a second , forgetting that in the midst of things he didn’t actually put his organization cloak into a secure spot . he didn’t mean to leave it out in the open ! old memories of it after finally getting it back started getting the best of him ; while most of those weren’t positive memories , they were his nonetheless . but he chuckles again , this time more nervous about what could happen if ( when ) ienzo sees it .

in different circumstances , demyx wouldn’t have cared . though , is it more suspicious to shove it away quickly , or to act like nothing’s wrong ? because really , something is only wrong if someone addresses it , right ? that sounds arguably dubious , but it’s one thing he doesn’t care about currently . so he chooses to ignore it as if it’s not there . and should ienzo bring it up , that’s another story . his eyes finally leave the fabric and he sits down on his bed , setting the notebook down beside him to pick up his guitar . “ ready whenever you are … ! ” he’s not , but when’s that ever stopped him ?

FOR ALL OF their research proficiency, they can be terribly oblivious when it comes to the emotions of others, at least not when they aren’t studying them for some sort of academic research. as such, they miss the red of myde’s face and the pounding of his heartbeat, though they wouldn’t be able to hear the latter from where they stand. perhaps if they were to move closer.

they don’t think too much of the sudden change in decision, only laughing at the mention of his roommate. ❝ your roommate... that’s neko, right ?? the streamer ?? ❞ after finding out that myde was in a band, they had done what they did best — research. not only had they found the band and their discography to listen to effective immediately, but also the streams myde had guest starred on, mostly neko’s. it hadn’t taken long to figure out the two of them were roommates. with how loud she is, they can understand why myde wouldn’t want her around for this. noise control. if anyone at work had said anything about beds being comfortable to them, they would have stepped back and given them an annoyed look before returning to their work. with myde, they somehow know that it’s just the truth. the evidence to why they feel this way is nonexistent, and so it’s truly something they shouldn’t believe so readily, and yet they do. it’s illogical. ❝ well, then i suppose you’re stuck paying attention to me. ❞

there is something about the room that is just so myde, and they can’t help but smile slightly at all the band posters, and even the colour of the walls. perhaps it’s rude to stare at everything in a person’s room, but they have always been observant, even if they are obvious when analysing. though really, it’s less analysing and more them just wanting to enjoy their surroundings and the company that comes with it. their gaze drifts from the bed to the nearby chair — and then they see it. the cloak’s dark colour stands out and they can’t help but feel drawn to it, but it also sets a sense of unease in the pit of their stomach. it isn’t particularly assuming ; just a cloak that hasn’t hurt anyone or anything. they know this, that clothing can’t actually hurt a person, at least not on purpose, but then why do they feel so intimidated by it ?? it’s the only word they can think of as to why they shiver at the sight of it, a headache forming in the back of their mind. this isn’t the time for that, though, and they shake their head to snap themselves out of it.

still, when they sit down, it’s with their back to the coat. this isn’t about some unidentifiable sensations drawn out by some piece of fabric. this is about myde and the song he’s written, and that is what they’re going to focus on. they smile — and despite the brief upset, it’s genuine — and lean back, making themselves comfortable. ❝ then i’m ready whenever you are. you’re the musician, so take it away whenever you’re ready. ❞

“ Ah. .” Nicole started with a slight nod as the realization that the two of them may not be going through the same thing after all completely set in for a moment. Having no way to see just how similar their situations actually might be. ━ She was unsure of how to respond for a second as she actually felt somewhat disappointed, but of course she didn’t show it and instead continued “. . How long did it take you to get used to everything then? Not a few years I hope.” Adding that last bit with a glance towards Ienzo as if silently asking ‘right?’, as she decided to continue their small talk. With how confused she and her memories were at the moment, and despite the small disappointing realization a second ago, she found it was oddly comforting. Even if she probably came off as cold and a little sarcastic like usual ━ If not just completely confused still.

THEY ARE SURE that their situation is likely different, even if there are some obvious similarities. after all, it isn’t every day that someone wakes up with no recollection of their past aside from a few small, basic bits of information, as is what happened to them. that, and a whole mountain of knowledge. how were they able to remember the contents of too many textbooks to count while not being able to bring up a single moment from their childhood ?? they laugh a little. ❝ no, no, not that long. a few weeks at most ?? though i have been told i’m good at remembering things... ❞ ironic, really. ❝ and there are plenty of people around town who will help you. if you get this job, then you’ll have some coworkers to rely on, too. ❞ they know several of their own coworkers have helped them plenty.

Gideon scoffed, “of course not. But I do believe that what might come across as magic, might be science we’re too stupid to understand. Much like how the internet and cellphones would probably be seen as witchcraft to people in the seventeenth century. What people call magic is just phenomenon we don’t have the words to explain yet.”

THERE IS SOMETHING about the word ❛ magic ❜ that stirs something in them, as if their mind is trying to remind them of something they forgot, but as usual, they push the feeling away. ❝ that’s true. science is always advancing at rapid speeds, so we never know what someone else may have already uncovered. ❞ they lean back in their seat, drumming their fingers against their leg. ❝ i hope that we find out what it is and how it works soon. ❞

Now that caught Nicole’s attention. As she finally turned her gaze towards Ienzo ahead of her, she now couldn’t help but wonder if they knew more than they were letting on. But of course the possibility that she simply misunderstood them in her current confused state crossed her mind, perhaps she was just over-analyzing their words. So, although she didn’t usually care to learn about others lives too much, another exception had to be made. She would actually give in to small talk for once. “ You sound like you speak from experience…Have you lived here long? ” All the while she continued to walk with Ienzo. Still briefly glancing around every now and then, but now mostly keeping her focus on them.

IENZO DOESN’T KNOW much of what’s going on in castle town, only things that they have heard about recent events. they haven’t for one second thought that the strange happenings have anything to do with their missing memory, but perhaps they should. then again, they are constantly at war with themselves on whether they should seek out information on their past at all. the question she asks shouldn’t be that difficult to answer, but they genuinely don’t know how long they have been in castle town. they don’t feel comfortable just admitting that, though, and so they say, ❝ a few years now. when i first got here, i was getting lost at every turn. at least, that’s what it felt like. i even used to get lost at work all the time. ” the university could be difficult to navigate, after all.

Gideon frowned. He didn’t particularly like being proven wrong but he also wasn’t one to start an argument if he knew he was wrong, “You’re probably right.” he said with a sigh, “Hell I don’t think I had any of the punch while I was there. But honestly, what you’re describing sounds like magic to me. It doesn’t stop being magic and impossible when you hide it under jargon.”

IENZO HADN’T ACTUALLY gone to the mansion that night, so what they know is what information they have been able to uncover, whether it be from reports online, the radio, or people speaking to them about it. ❝ do you really think magic is real ?? ❞ it isn’t accusatory at all, just curious. everything they have been told points to magic not being real, a fictional concept, but with everything that has been happening lately, can they truly rule it out ??

Nicole nodded before she started walking beside Ienzo - of course making sure to keep some distance between them as she did. Upon hearing their assumption though, she blinked before she sighed quietly to herself. “ I suppose it’s obvious, huh? ” Keeping her gaze mostly on their surroundings as they walked, but also keeping her almost emotionless expression and her hands tucked away in her pockets. This place intrigued her, but she wouldn’t let that show. She wouldn’t let much emotion show in general after what her past life had been through, at least not yet anyway.

Maybe this place would change her. Who knows? Though that was a thought she would never even give a seconds time.

IENZO LETS OUT a soft laugh at her words, still walking towards their destination, only briefly looking back at her. ❝ just a little bit. but it’s alright, everyone is new around here at some point, i think. ❞ they have been in the same boat before, after all, when they woke up one day with no memories of anything other than their name and the basics of human living. they were lucky that they were so intelligent that they were able to get back on their feet as soon as they did. ❝ but you’ll get used to it fairly quickly, and most people will help you out if you need it. ❞ in their experience, at least.

Nicole took notice of how Ienzo had to switch hands, it was hard to get much past her honestly. Yet luckily this just made her view them as less of a threat, since she was the opposite when it came to strength, or at least in the past she was. No she wasn’t the strongest fighter out there either, but damn if she wasn’t strong. “Well, if you’re sure. . I wouldn’t mind being shown the way to Saturnalia.” Taking a quick glance at the map again as she said this, just to double check it was on there and not too far away ; within walking distance at least. “I’m thinking about applying for a job there.” Placing her hands in her coat pockets while she easily came up with this excuse. Not going to mention the nametag for the place already in one of them.

IENZO CAN’T SAY they have ever been inside saturnalia, but they have passed it plenty of times on their walks around town. they know exactly where it is, however, and that is more than enough. they nod and say, ❝ it’s not a problem at all. i think there are people wanted there for staff, but i don’t know much about the place since i’ve never been inside or anything. ❞ they start walking, locking their ipad and tucking it away into their bag as they walk. small-talk also isn’t one of their strengths, but there is still a mystery here, and they do love to solve mysteries and make breakthroughs. ❝ i’m assuming you’re new here, right ?? ❞ they decide not to mention that she had to ask where she was. they don’t think it will be appreciated.
