Curiosity's Entrance [FINISHED]

[Sheska]

Sheska returned his smiles. He was very friendly and easy to relax around at least. Now, what did she have to eat.... hmmm. She actually couldn't remember. which seeing as she had a photographic memory was odd. But she never really payed attention to what she was eating in her house because she was usually reading.

"It's no problem really. I couldn;t just leave you like that." She didn't like to leave people in bad situations. So generally she tried to help out when she could. After all if nobody had bothered to help her shed still be buried under her own books.

[Randamu]

Curiosity smiled again. He stood there for only two seconds before his stomach began to growl (But it sounded more like a cat purring). He looked around and found a small table that he could sit at. Walking over to the table, he realized that it was covered in books. He stood in front of the table and starred down at the mound of literature that spread across it.

". . ." His eyes looked down at the books and back at Sheska, then back to the books. He figured that she wouldn't mind and assumed that she wouldn't attack him or anything if he moved a few of them. "I'm just gonna sit right here..." He sat down gently. 'I... I think she needs to clean... just a tad.'

Curiosity sits at the table and ponders for a moment before speaking again. He had something on his mind, but did not know if he should say what it was. He felt confused as he had been for most of the time, but now he felt shy, nervous, and lost too.

"Sheska?" He turned his head towards the girl. "What is going to happen to me?" His eyes showed that he had great concern. He looks to her for a response and answer.

[Sheska]

Sheska found enough food to make a couple of sandwiches and fixed them as quick as she could. "yeah thats fine. Sorry about all the books... I guess I really should clean more." After all if th books had nearly killed her when she knew were most of them were they would be a giant hazard to anybody else in this home. though nobody else was ever really in her house....

She was coming back with the food when he asked his question. It caught her off guard she wouldn't have expected a question like that. " I... I don;t know. Your welcome to stay here for a while if you want to."

[Randamu]

He smiles at her, but with a tinge of sadness and lonliness still faded into his facial expression.

"Thank you. You really are kind Sheska. I'm only asking that question because I still feel so confused. I can't even remember anything before running into you..." He stands up and looks out the window as the rain drizzles down the cold glass. "I really don't understand how someone can just... be so lost and out of it." He shakes his head, "I guess I just have to make the best out of the situation huh Sheska?" He walks back to his chair and sits down. "I have one more question... " He looks away from her when he asks, "Can you... help me get my memory back? Or at least help me to make new memories and not feel so lost in this strange world?" He stares back into her eyes... 'please... please help me Sheska... you don't understand how wierd I feel now... Its like I'm dead, but still walking on this place... But I cannot explain this to you verbally... I cannot worry you like that...' His face seems cold and fearful. "Please give me somewhere to stay and somwhere which I can learn about this place..." He smiles slightly and turns back toward the table.

He picks up the neat sandwich that Sheska had placed in front of him. He looked at it and sunk his teeth into the deliciously moist honey and oat bread with it's suculent turkey and perfectly sliced lettuce. He felt a little more joyful after having let out some of his worries. The sandwich tasted better than he could have imagined... because he couldn't imagine... he had no memory of taste.

[Sheska]

Sheska watched him as he ate his sandwich. "yeah I'll try to help if I can. I'm sorry though if I can't do much to help at the moment.... and I can't really say I know how you feel because I've never really forgotten anything before... I mean I've forgotten to do things, but thats not the same." She could;t imagine how it must feel to lose your whole life... after all that was basically what memories are. Wait a ssecond....

"but I do know someone who lost a big chunk of memories that were really important to him...... Next time I get a day off we can go try to find him. Maybe it will help." After all according to what Ed had said Al's memory was completely back... she hadn't asked details but maybe there was a way to help Curiosity.

[Randamu]

Curiosity smiles up at her with sincerity. He may have felt utterly lost and astray from the world, but seeing the look in Sheska's eyes... he knew things would be ok.

'Another person who lost their memories? I... I could maybe find my way then... I could...' He smiles even larger. "Sheska... Thank you for understanding. I know it must be hard to relate... Trust me, I almost find it hard to relate myself..." He laughs a little, "There is just this wall of confusion that I can't understand." He stares out the window again and a brighter picture came to his mind instead of a dark void. "I can feel it Sheska! I just know things are going to get better soon..."

As he sits looking out the window, he slips into a vision. His thoughts lead him to a golden light that fades into a pavilion in the center of a bright town, outlooking an ocean.

[glow=black,2,300][glow=white,2,300]-Vision- [/glow][/glow]

"Luc! Luc, its a kitty! She's so cute!" a girl speaks with great joy as she sits next to a boy on a bench. The boy laughs as the kitten jumps on the sandy beach, chasing a bug. He speaks, "Dogs are so much better!" He laughs more. He then stares out toward the ocean and begins to think seriously. Strong thoughts were on his mind."Koi... You know I have to leave tomarrow... This is our last day together... for a long while." The innocent girl turns toward him and lays her head on his shoulder. "Oh Luc... you act like you may never come back again." The boy sighs, "Thats because... I may not Koi... you need to realize that..." She tries to forcefully laugh, "You're silly Luc... I belive that you'll come back... don't worry... this isn't our last time together." She lays against him and tries to conceal the fact that tears are now rolling gently down her cheeks. The boy continues to look out toward the vast ocean, "Koi... remember this... We WILL see each other again... no matter what happens... I love you..."

The vision fades out and abrubptly stops, bringing a strange reality back to Curiosity. His face instantely goes cold and he feels dizzy. He looks up at Sheska and she can tell in his eyes that he just had some sort of vision or flashback. Before he could turn his head completely toward her, he passes out and falls out of his chair.

[Sheska]

Sheska had to smile at him. He was so nice... weather or not he was an alien... "It's no problem really I haven't done anything to be thanked for." She listened as he continued talking. "I really do hope that things get better."

After that he seemed to space out. She waited as he though or did whatever it was he was doing. When he looked at her she could tell that something was wrong. She didn't even have time to react as he suddenly passed out.

Instantly she panicked. She was almost ruining around the room screaming to nobody but that wasn't going to help. She quickly rolled him on to his back. "OK uhh sooo water! water will help!" Although she had read many medical books none of them seemed to be coming to mind at them moment in her panicked state. So she ran to the kitchen got a cup of water and splashed him with it.

[Randamu]

Curiosity lies limp on the floor as the energetic Sheska panics and runs into the kitchen. She hurries back with the cup of water and splashes it on his face.

"GHAAAAHHH!" He sits up quickly and spits water out of his mouth. He shakes his head to get off the access water and begins to look around the room in wonder of what just happened. "What what?! Whats going on?" He seemed dazed but very alert at this point. 'RUN RUN!!! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!! THE ALIENS ARE GONNA KILL US ALL!!!!'

Curiosity spinds around on the floor to look behind him, only to see Sheska standing there with a now empty cup.

[Sheska]

Sheska let out a large relived breath as he sat up. "You passed out. Are you OK? what happened?" She asked worriedly. She was still holding the cup tipped over her glasses were a bit skewed from the speed and with her jostling them. Sheska didn;t bother to fix them at the moment however and continued to observe curiosity as though afraid he was going to pass out again.

[Randamu]

Curiosity sits there for a moment while he thinks. He wipes off some of the water from his face and stands up to catch a breath.

"I passed out? Hmmm..." He squints as he thinks some more. "Strange... I wonder what happened..." He thinks a bit more still, 'Why would I just pass out like that? I do remember feeling strange before I blacked out I guess...' He could not remember what would have caused himself to faint as he had. He also had no memory of the vision that came upon himself.

He rubs his fuzzy cat ears to get off the excess water and sneezes afterwards because he tickled them. He then sits back down in his chair and begins to ask a question,

"So... What now?" He changes subjects unknowingly and lets the topic, about him fainting, float off.

[Sheska]

Sheska had no idea why he had passed out. It had been so random. one secon he had seemed ot be in tought and the next hewas fallign ot the floor. She jsut wans't used ot this kind of thing. Books fallign on people sure but not randomly passing out.

what now? She would liek to know that heself. "I don't know.... uhh are you still hungry? or tired maybe?"

[Aeron Warde]

A rushed pound came at the door. Less then a minute later, the same rushed knock came again. They were very impatient.

It wouldn't have been such a hurried process if the soldier had done what he was ordered to a month ago. Such an easy task, such an easy one to forget. He had to have forgotten the order! At this rate, he was never going to get promoted, or even get the vacation he wanted.

Again the knocking came. A normal person wouldn't have been able to answer the door in the speed that the soldier wanted.

[Sheska]

The first knock made Sheska jump and nearly fall over in to a stack of books. The knocking came again. Who could be in such a rush? and who would be coming to her house? Sheska ran to the door with out knocking any books over somehow and threw it open as the knocking sounded once again.

"hello?!" She almost shouted just from the level of her surprise and the odd day she had had.

[Aeron Warde]

The soldier wasn't exactly paying attention to the door either. He was pounding away at it while rolling on his heels looking elsewhere. "Open up... open up!" The soldier muttered to himself. He was pounding on the door when it opened too. He nearly tried to knock on Sheska's head but stopped himself before doing so.

"Miss Sheska!" the soldier said as he saluted. Wait... why was he saluting to a librarian? Were was his heead? He looked up at his hand and shook it before putting it down to his side. "I have orders from the Colonel!"

[Randamu]

Curiosity still sits at the table and is now practically falling out of his chair as he leans over to see who was at the door. His curious mind wouldn't let him just sit there without finding out all the details of this new visitor.

"Sheska?" He leans over just the slightest bit further and he topples over onto the floor with a thud. He then tips his head up from the ground as the rest of his body is sprawled about. "I'm ok!" He pulls himself up with the table's edge and smiles stupidly from his embarrassment. He walks over to the door to get a 'real' view of the person rather than an ignorant stretch. 'Who is this man? He is wearing a uniform... he must be important...'

Curiosity stays behind Sheska and looks over her shoulder as he questions in his mind who the man was. He keeps silent and lets Sheska speak.
