Elsa looks uncharacteristically contemplative. Her usual drink is missing from her hand and she's dressed a bit... well, it ain't party clothes she's wearing.

"How does one go about forgetting something?" she asks.

Sandra is, for once, not in her cloak! So have a zebra-colored demon, Elsa. "Depends on what you want to forget, I guess."

"Someone," Elsa answers hesitantly. "It was a bad trip."

"Ah." She smiles a little sadly. "That is one of the harder things to forget. Being dragged into crazy adventures and dealing with the shit that brought seemed to work for a while, but once everything calmed down again I went right back to thinking about him."

A pause. "Not that the crazy adventures were intentional at all, but being tossed through Limbo is one hell of a distraction."

"..."

Elsa looks at this person for a moment. "How do you go about getting tossed through Limbo?" she asks, rather dryly.

"By having a crazy demonologist do something to your friend's spellbook so that a hole gets ripped open in reality when he touches it, apparently." Total deadpan here.

"... sounds fun." Sorry, there are no other words.

Sandra snorts. "For certain values of fun. The dying bit wasn't so pleasant." Nor was what all happened after that, but she doesn't really remember that bit very clearly.

...shut UP, Chalk.

"No, I can't imagine that dying would be very fun," Elsa says, looking at Sandra funny. "You okay now at least?"

Ah, Envy, ever the actor.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she says, rubbing the back of her neck. "Demons get over that sort of thing pretty quickly, apparently."

"...nice? Nice?! You think I wanted to be like this?" Sandra swings her arms wide, barely resisting manifesting her wings just to prove the point. "This is a curse, I'm a freaking monster now! I can't even go outside back home without having to hide myself! I'm a FREAK!"

Elsa holds her hands up, although Envy relates entirely. "Whoa, Girlfriend!" Elsa shakes her head. "Settle down, sweetie. Lookit you now, you're out in public and full daylight now, aren't you? It's not always so bad to be different, is it?"

She snarls, but calms down some. "This is...this is different. Maybe I can walk around normally here, but this isn't my home and never will be. I just...I want my damn life back."

Elsa lowers her hands, deciding it's safe again. "So going through limbo turned you into that?"

"Nah, that was the demonologist deciding I needed to be sent to Hell rather than cured. My roommates found the spellbook in the attic and started farting around with it, and one screw-up led to this."

"Oops." Elsa has the grace to look sympathetic. "What a bummer. I hope you yelled at them for screwing around with something they shouldn't have been?"

"Yelled at them and more." Don't mind that faint sizzling sensation, you're not the one being set on fire again. "Jack's been trying to find a way to change me back, but there hasn't been any luck so far."

Sandra paused for a long moment. "...I don't know. I try not to think about that, really. I think I'd go crazy if I did."

"I'm sure you'd be able to make the best of it," Elsa says with assurance. "After all, if nothing else, you have the Nexus where we don't care what you look like. You're pretty cool in my book, anyway."

"You guess?" Elsa laughs. "You don't get a lot of compliments or something?" That's a good-natured smile on her face.

Oh god, Envy is chewing on his liver.

"Kinda? I don't really talk with people all that often anymore, aside from my housemates."

Ah, stuff it, Envy. A bit of kindness is good for you.

"You should try it, especially around here," Elsa says. "Try going down to the Sin, you'll find some good people there."

Sez you.

"The Sin? I think I remember hearing about that place--mostly I've just been stalking around to the different coffee places around here." She's pretty much memorized all the places and menus by now.

Elsa nods. "The Best Deadly Sin, although I'll argue with him on that one," she says with a laugh. "Greed runs a good place though, good people. That's where I always go."

On her way toward the Sin to drop in to say hello on Roy's shift break, Riza hesitated.

"Drinking doesn't work, that's been tried. Even when it seems to, it only comes back again later," Riza said. "Staying busy though, staying focused on something else, that can usually keep things shoved far back enough from your focus that you're at least given a reprieve. But I don't know one might achieve actual loss of those memories, shy of hypnosis or maybe someone with mental powers, if it's possible to lock those away or wipe them entirely."

"Believe me, I know all about drinking not working," she says with a grimace. "Keeping busy, you say? Does that really work?"

"It can take practice. Some days you're all too aware of the energy you're spending ignoring the giant elephant in the room, so to speak. But the more you teach your mind to ignore it, the more it becomes merely background noise until something or someone else pulls it to the forefront. But with time and practice, like anything, it does get easier to push aside and force a lack of awareness of it. I don't think it's possible to truly forget anything, but it's possible to learn to ignore it."

"Damn," she swears. "I've been doing that and it's having the success that you just said. I was hoping I was missing some secret."

"Maybe we are," Riza admitted. "But if there's a secret, you're in good company, at least, because I don't know it either, and neither does Roy or anyone else I know. The best I can tell you is to try and remove anything in your area, or move to a new place if necessary, get away from anything that can serve as a reminder, or get rid of any reminders. That helps."

Elsa gets strangely quiet. "Yes, getting rid of reminders would help," she says quietly. "I've almost gotten rid of all of them."
