[There was a trial today! Did you earn some Sparks for a new purchase or new memory? Did you miss it entirely and are gonna be miffed at the lost opportunity? Are you too busy doing other cool stuff and don't really care? What are you doing right now, Aurora? LET'S MINGLE.]

[ Is it memory time? I think it's memory time.

Crow's going to fling five memories out into the wind-- the first one involves gambling with children, the second one is a rock concert (featuring: do not let Crow pick your costumes, it will go badly), the third involves conning some guy out of 50 mira, the fourth is about motorcycles-- though they keep calling it an "orbal bike", and the fifth is a study date featuring Crow teaching about CPR.

For his part, Crow plays each memory in succession-- he's definitely a little bit younger in all of them than he is now (maybe a year or two younger). He looks interested as each one hits him, but when he's done he picks up a book and starts reading it. ]

[...She was asleep in the lounge, so the memories woke her up. She stared at them with something akin to curiosity and intense judgement.

Once the CPR one happens she just swivels her gaze to stare at Crow.

No words, only incredulity.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He can feel the judging eyes on him-- not to mention see her from the corner of his eye-- so he looks up at her over the cover of his book and smiles innocently. ]

Something wrong, Naeva?

[desirestruth]

I'm just wondering who your dutiful, nagging wife there was.

[She means Rean. She can sense a momfriend from 30 paces.]

[bad_crowmance]

You must be talking about Rean.

[desirestruth]

I didn't see you begging anyone else for candy.

[She shrugs a bit, and streeetches out.]

You had that many memory tokens stashed? I'm starting to wonder if this is just a Licorice thing.

[bad_crowmance]

I've almost got enough for another one. I just hadn't gotten around to it. Why, has your boytoy been stashing 'em too?

[desirestruth]

Fiancee. Yes.

[She knows it's a losing battle but if she just accepts the moniker of boytoy then Crow has won.]

Actually, speaking of tokens, I need a quick favor.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Knowing that it bothers her means Crow has already won. ]

Oh, what kind of favour?

[crimeson]

... Suddenly I'm kind of offended about people comparing me to you. Conning him out of 50 mira? Really?

[bad_crowmance]

Hey, it worked! Do people really compare us?

[ Somehow, no one's made the comparison to his face. ]

[crimeson]

It's more embarrassing that it worked, not less. And Naeva certainly did.

[bad_crowmance]

I'm not embarrassed. He was just gullible enough to fall for it.

[ Indeed, the grin on his face is unrepentant. ]

And I think Naeva just likes giving people shit.

[ Especially if it involves himself. ]

[crimeson]

Don't worry, I'm embarrassed for both of you!

Yeah, but I heard it from Rean before, too.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Someone has to be embarrassed for Crow, shame has almost missed him entirely. ]

Rean too, huh? ....That guy sure seems to show up in a lot of my memories.

[crimeson]

Yeaaah, he would.

[bad_crowmance]

[ There is the briefest of moments, one that doesn't appear on his face at all, where he remembers the memory he got from Jusis-- seeing his own face looking up to Rean with something akin to adoration even as he's dying. ]

I've been getting the impression he's the kind of guy who just shows up everywhere. Guess that means I'm right.

[bowtiedbones]

If you're doing CPR right, that girl may have a bruised chest or possibly even fractured ribs.

[bad_crowmance]

Hey, quit bringing reality into my fantasy sequence.

[bowtiedbones]

Students should be taught with accuracy and detail!

[bad_crowmance]

Hey, I was perfectly accurate right up until that last part.

[ He taps the side of his head with his finger. ]

[bowtiedbones]

I guess it was passable.

[bad_crowmance]

Pretty good for a guy who doesn't normally teach, right?

[ He flashes a grin at her. ]

Think I'd rather leave the job to you, though.

[bowtiedbones]

Leaving it to the pros?

[bad_crowmance]

[ He hums in agreement. ]

There's a reason you're the pro after all.
