[Morning:

There is a navigator in a New Feather dress wandering up and down the rows of what she thought was her own mikan grove, looking thoroughly lost. This isn't her dress. That isn't her cottage. This isn't her book, even if it has her name on it. (She hasn't really looked closely at it yet; just kind of picked it up and claimed it because it said Nami on the front, so finders keepers.) Not to worry; if nobody is around, she'll eventually snap out of her daze and kick the cottage door open in a fit of temper, then sit down in a place that looks long abandoned and aggressively read a lot of notes. And be...

...well, she's no less confused. What the hell.

Also, she's kind of angry. That's to be expected, right?

---------

In the afternoon, she visits the village proper and does a full round of the stores in the plaza, both looking for (a) her own things, and (b) anything that might be remotely valuable she can swipe from the stores, because supposedly it's free. Hell, while she's at it, she might as well take any clothing that looks cute. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. Cliche smiche, it makes her feel better.

She'll also flop down in Seventh Heaven and grab some lunch. Inevitably she'll end up in Good Spirits some time after that, because this situation is freakish and some people have recognised her and that's weird so free alcohol is an excellent idea. And it's from there she makes a quick voice post.]

[Voice]

So I've apparently been here before. I don't remember you, sorry. [Not sorry. But.] Is there anyone else here from East Blue?

No, the humans usually live in the village further ahead. [Spoken as if this is something Nami should know. Xzana saw it more of a test of her own knowledge then something Nami wouldn't know.]

[Dragon person you take things way too literally.]

Well, we're back to square one. Guess I'll go ask them what's going on.

Is something wrong? Are the- [A pause as she recalls the name.] -Malnosso doing something again?

The who?

[That might be a yes.]

[Xzana misunderstands at first, thinking that she didn't get the Malnosso's name right.] The people who change us into believing lies.

The people who what?

[THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.]

The people who gave us the false memories. Made us different. Changed us.

...

[So the Malnosso are to blame for the wings? Nami's starting to feel hellishly out of depth here. On the other hand...] I don't have any false memories.

[...she thinks. PARANOIAAAA. WHY IS THE HOUSE DIFFERENT D:]

No, they have removed the false memories. [She narrows her eyes a little. Curiously, she's not sure what to think of this.] How have you forgotten already?

How have I forgotten what already? [She's getting snappish now, because YOU MAKE NO SENSE and she's kinda freaking out.]

[Xzana bristles a little bit. She does not like that tone of voice.] The false memories that those... people... [Said hesitantly as she's now not sure if Malnosso was right or not.] gave to us.

I have no idea what you're talking about! [Headache to boot.] Look, whatever you're thinking of, I don't know anything about it.

It was not so long ago. Not even a change of a season. It is... strange that you do not remember.

{Strange enough that she doens't even remember coming here. And now she gives thought to the fact that maybe this...isn't her orchard, either. That there's a reason for a weird house and a weird girl.

That didn't make any sense either.

On the other hand, she definitely has wings, and she's been trying hard not to think about this since she woke up.]

...okay. Stupid question. Are we dead?

No. We live. Why would you think that we were dead?

Because I don't normally have wings! Maybe you do, but I don't! And everything is weird!

Everyone here normally have wings. Have the Malnosso made you forget that?

I don't even know who the Malnosso are!

The Malnosso are the people who change the way we think and who we are. Do I not have the name correct?

I wouldn't have a clue, I never heard the name before today!

There is no need to shout so loud. Why are you so angry? Of course you have heard of them before. Everyone who has spent time here knows of them.

Yeah well, clearly I haven't been here before!

[Wait. What?] You have. Did they not fix your memories like the rest of the town?

You are not making any sense to me. [Not only that, they're going in circles.] Look, I'll just ask in town. There is a town, right?

Yes. [She's quiet a moment as she skeptically looks at Nami.] You truly do not remember the location of the town?
