(kimihiro doesn't take it, but she can take his if she so desires. he's never one to take a hand, but he's never to turn them away either.)

Agree.

(... so that's not her actual body. kimihiro nods in sympathy. the more comfortable he gets, the shorter the sentences he mutters.)

How are you dealing with being human-like?

[ She won't take his, not yet, unwilling to push boundaries with someone so new (even if she already feels like they're chummy).

Mel shifts in her chair a bit, looking contemplative. ]

It's interesting, because for the first thirteen years I didn't know any better. It wasn't until, hm, I'll say our, thirteenth birthday that my abilities began to manifest, and then once I was at the academy I flourished. The Egyptian God, Set, revealed to me that I'd been reincarnated, that I was divine.

You'll recall I said that this place seems to be settling and as it does so, it introduces norms, like hunger. Recently, it brought fatigue into our lives and while everyone was dreaming, a few of us who deal with dreams and nightmares were able to play. It was the first time I'd been in my true form in what felt like ages.

[ She's beaming here, proud in her remembrance. ]

(kimihiro is, as any store owner that deals with people's desires, a great listener. he is attentive to her words, as they are much more than that - they're the source of her identity, after all.)

Didn't you have any memories of such?

(he didn't have any memories of a lot of things. he actually still doesn't. mel is not the first and probably not the last to tell him about the dream, and each time more, he gets more and more hopeful that he may recover his abilities. they are, after all, much more powerful in one.)

It wasn't possible to snap people out of it, though?

[obscurus_phantasma]

If you're asking about my memories of being a Goddess, they'd been locked away. They slowly began to return after the thirteenth birthday, and then they were restored in full upon Set's blessing. Sort of overwhelming, but also welcome.

[ Because it meant a return to her true self, minus the body.

Somewhat deviously, Mel states - ]

Didn't seem like it, though truthfully, I wasn't keen on trying - was having too much fun with using ghosts to fight off the creatures or constructing my own piece of the dream to play music in.

[kimihiros]

... Then how did it end?

(that's the question. kimihiro looks at his changshan, only as a reminder that he is not only stripped of his magic, but also of his items. lame.)

[obscurus_phantasma]

It's less that we woke ourselves or each other, and more that it just happened to all of us at the same time; we fell asleep together, we awoke together. Much like with hunger. One day it hit us, and then it settled into something more normal, more manageable.

[kimihiros]

I hope I can be useful here.

(because what is kimihiro if not feeling useless, unless he's serving a purpose somehow?)

[obscurus_phantasma]

Things are coming around. There are jobs to do, but no currency beyond bartering for whatever works between parties. And there are creatures to take care of. But...I understand. Without my abilities, I feel lost most days. Or what would be days. Sometimes hollow. That's why I started helping out at the flower shop and with a professor.

When you find an apartment to occupy, at the Merlaut?, there's this beach that washes random items onto the shore. You can find things to decorate or use.

[kimihiros]

I've been told about it. I was hoping to find the store.


I guess I will have to settle for an apartment for the time being.

(( OOC ))

(( Handwave the rest, in which she gives him a run-down of locations? Maybe helps him find an empty apartment and, ta da, it's as her neighbor? ))
