3rd Bath - [Falling Leaves Event][Action]
((ooc: Chihiro has been swapped with Zinc. Feel free to meet her just about anywhere, either writing in the dirt or just generally wandering around and catching leaves.))
[Chihiro's already witnessed first hand that people are not themselves. Quite literally not themselves - they're in someone else's body, with someone else's name. It's a terrifying thought, having someone else's name. It chills something in her, right down to the bone.
So the little girl had felt no shortage of relief when a couple of days had gone past without her getting caught up in the gust of wind. And, when on her way to the Library, a torrent of leaves had suddenly come swirling out of the sky and caught her up for a few seconds, she'd actually screamed. When the swirling torrent had vanished, she'd felt...different.]

W-What...what's happening to me?!
[Her hands fly to her face, and Chihiro stares down in horror at what she's suddenly become. She's taller...older...but she doesn't have the words to know that she's also a dead thing. Just that she's cold, all over, and each gasped, panicked breath is an effort that it wasn't before.]
...w-who am I?!
[It's all so much to take in. And just an instant after she realizes her new name - Zinc - she realizes that she can't remember her old one.
At that point, Chihiro just sits down on the path and starts to sob.
Later on, you might come across a message, scrawled in the dirt by a stick. At first, starting from about the point where Chihiro had changed, the message reads:
"My name is Zinc. I have to be nice to people."
Further and further from that point, however, the message begins to change. The writing grows more unsteady. The wording, a a bit more desperate, and needy, and pleading. And, on occasion, "Zinc" is misspelled as "Sen".
You might even find Zinc, stick in hand, scratching her message into the dirt. By then, she'll have passed through the waters of horror into complete and total numbness.
Occasionally, as she wanders around lost, the girl reaches up to catch a falling leaf. She shivers as the new memory fragment settles into her mind...but, none of them feel right, and all she does is stick the leaf in her pocket and wander aimlessly onward, occasionally pausing at some place or other to take shelter, but never staying for more than a few minutes unless she meets someone. She can't even remember what she'd been doing, where she'd been going...or who she might ask for help.]
