Second Miracle

[beamiracle]

[Lion, like everyone else, received his present. And like everyone else's presents, it isn't of the pleasant sort. Lion has forgotten everything: who he is, where he is, and everything about his life up until now. But Lion can't help but have unpleasant feelings about...something. He just doesn't know what.

So today, you'll see someone wandering around Mayfield. The person in question is clearly wearing male clothing, but it's hard to tell whether that person is a girl or a boy. He (or she) seems lost, bewildered, and very unhappy.

Feel free to approach this little androgynous ball of misery!]

Um... excuse me, are you alright?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Huh? [Turns around.] I...I don't know. Where are we?

[sahasraras.livejournal.com]

Oh, are you new here...? This is Mayfield.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

New...? I don't know. Maybe I have, but I'm not sure...

Who are you?

[sahasraras.livejournal.com]

... You don't know? Have you been here before?

My name is Alma Karma. What's yours?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

My name...? I don't know that either, I'm afraid...

[ There's a pause, and then: ] Oh... perhaps this is another Christmas gift. A lot of strange things have been happening to people today.

... Do you remember where you woke up?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Christmas gift?

I don't know if I woke up, exactly...I did find myself in a house, though.

[sahasraras.livejournal.com]

People have been getting some... really strange presents today.

Hmm... do you remember where that is? Perhaps somebody living there will know you.

Hey, what's wrong?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Eh?

I'm sorry...I think I'm lost.

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

Is that so? Guess you're new. The name's Keiichi. Maebara Keiichi.

Who're you?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Pleased to meet you...

I'm afraid I don't know.

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

...You don't know who you are?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

No, I don't. And I don't know where this is, either. I'm afraid I don't know much of anything at the moment...

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

Now that's not normal. I wonder if it's finally started...?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

What's finally started...?

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

...

[Slowly approaching... why do you seem familiar?]

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[Notices.] Um...hello.

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

... What's wrong?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Ah...oh, I'm sorry. I'm afraid I don't have any idea where I am...

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

Is Mayfield, bad world in America.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Bad? Really?

[glompedbystakes.livejournal.com]

... Mayfield takes people away from homes, makes them live here, punishes them so much...

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

That's terrible...isn't there a way to leave?
