ⅹⅹ- [voice]

[mnementomori]

[a soft voice that might be familiar to some speaks up after a moment, a tinge of weariness in it.]

A lot of people...left again. I want people to be happy at home, but...


What...do you do when...your memories start to fade? I don't want to lose them forever.

Wait. What do you mean, not working?

[mnementomori]

I made something that reminded me of each friend I made here that left. But it just reminds me that they were my friend, not of their voice or what they looked like...

[fionna_time]

Can that actually happen?

[mnementomori]

You mean...memories fading? I didn't know until now. I was never away from anyone so long before this place.

[fionna_time]

I didn't even think that could happen.

What will you do?

[mnementomori]

I'm not sure. I mean, maybe I could...make pictures of them? I wonder if there's a away to save someone's voice...

[fionna_time]

Recording, I think. Can that be done here?

[mnementomori]

I don't know...how do you do that?

[fionna_time]

A recorder?

Can we make that here?

[mnementomori]

I've never seen one before, but if you have, you could make it out of dirt.

[fionna_time]

I would show ya but...I don't really know how you make one.

[mnementomori]

Oh....

If Reeve were here, I bet she would know. But she's gone now...

[fionna_time]

Sorry dude.

I could try to learn?

[mnementomori]

Well, sometimes you can make something from dirt if you've seen it in a book. But the stuff in the library is all cookbooks and those love stories...

[there's a rustle of cloth as she folds her arms, thinking.]

I could ask on the Vine if someone else knows how to make them?

[fionna_time]

Yeah, good idea,

Sorry dude!

[mnementomori]

No! It's okay. Thanks for the idea. [her smile is audible.]

I'm Xion. [the X is pronounced as a soft "sh" sound.] Who're you?

[fionna_time]

I just hope it gets settled soon!

I'm Fionna! Nice to meet you!

[mnementomori]

Fionna...

[The name was familiar. Come to think of it, the voice was too...]

Fionna! At...the Arcade? We played that game with...the girl with green hair. Sanae?

[fionna_time]

Oh...OH! Xion! Yeah! That was you and me and Sanae!

I'd ask how ya are, but I guess you already told me!

[mnementomori]

So you're doing okay too? [she sounds a bit brighter talking to someone familiar.] I'm glad.

[fionna_time]

Yeah, mostly! I'm all right!
