Day 387 OTA
a. Video

[Today has been a weird day. Her mother doesn't know who she is again. There are suddenly more vampires around than there had been before and she has no idea just how many people are different from how they normally are. Ai is fairly certain that she hasn't been affected by whatever's happened but can she even be sure of that?

She does keep a journal by her bed that's filled with the more important parts of her days here and everything seems to match up but would that have changed too if her memories had as well? There's just no sure answer to that question so she can only do what she can.]


Listen up, resident of MarinaNova! Show of hands - who remembers being here and who just arrived today? I only arrived about three weeks ago but if anyone needs help, I'll do my best to assist you.

Should any of you new individuals be vampires, there is a place for you to get your blood called the Vampire Blood Shack. It's located in Sector 5. Please do not feed from any of the humans here unless you have their permission. If it isn't consensual, I will intervene. It is in your best interest to not bring on the judgement of any vampire hunters that might be around.

[Ai has no idea if her papa still thinks he's a hunter or what uncle Ichiro thinks either but she will do her best to make sure it doesn't get far enough to have them brought in on the situation. Hopefully this whole ordeal is only temporary and if it is, Ai doesn't want anyone to wake up feeling guilty about their actions today. She can't prevent everything but at least she can do this for those who suddenly became vampires.]

b. action - patrolling

[After her post, Ai can be found just about anywhere in MarinaNova. She's keeping an eye out for any trouble as if this was her job. It technically was back home but it was an academy and not a prison. Sometimes Ai is patrolling on the ground, walking through the various sectors with eyes, ears and nose on the lookout for just about any kind of trouble.

Other times she's perched up on the roof of a shop watching people go by beneath her dangling legs as Ai continues to keep her senses on alert. Today was going to be a very long day and hopefully all of this would be sorted by tomorrow. If it didn't end tonight, then she wouldn't be getting any sleep at all.

She might need to head to the Blood Shack herself if that's the case because there was no way Ai was going feed off a mother who didn't know she was Ai's mother. Hopefully this wasn't permanent because she hadn't told Yuuki anything about being her daughter and didn't plan to.]


c1. action - stationary

[At some point in the day Ai went by the library and checked out a heaping pile of books. All of them are currently piled up on an outdoor table and she's flipping through them at an alarming rate. Every single book is about technology but whatever she's looking for is obviously not yet found as she places it on top of an ever growing while she grabs another one.

Her eyes flicker left to right as she scans through the information laid out before her.]


Is it because of the dimensional stabilizer maintenance?

[Ai might seem like she's not paying attention to her surroundings - too engrossed in her research but that's the case at all. The moment someone heads for her, her head pops up to look over at them.]

c2. action

[The problem with checking out so many books is that they have to be returned. Which means that Ai is carrying a stack of books that's literally taller than she is back to the library. It doesn't look as if she has any trouble actually holding on to them - she isn't struggling under the sheer weight of them. In fact, the stack isn't even really wobbling.

What is happening is that she can't see where she's going. The books are blocking her line of vision and while she can rely on what she can actually see or smell or sense - that doesn't mean it's going to be a perfectly smooth trip.

She just so happens to bump into another person. It'll upset the stack and send it tumbling down on the pair of them. One lands on top of her head directly and even she winces a little.]


Ow.

[ While Ichiru spent some time in the library, he was still a tad bit lazy. Studies were never really his thing and he was good at it in his own way. Like Zero, he's quite gifted with a lot of things, but he chose to be his typical self and be difficult to everyone around him.

At least, he made the effort to do some research. He stepped in Ai's way without noticing her as he was engrossed in skimming through a book. He was met with the tumbling books after he bumped right into her, and picking up what she was in a matter of seconds. ]


Quite the bookworm aren't you?

[ He chuckled as he picks a book off his head and setting it aside. He starts to get back on his feet and patting himself down before getting the fallen books. ]

Sorry. [Came the immediate response before Ai was even aware of who she had just walked into. She blinks up at him when she does realize it. Well, he wasn't dismissing her and their conversation earlier was pleasant and polite.

A brief crossed her face due to how strange this all was. It felt wrong - to be here with him while he was like this. Like she was taking advantage of the situation to get close to him even if that was never Ai's intention. Ai knew about her father's role in Zero's life and hadn't wanted to be like that.

The book hitting her head hadn't really hurt but she rubs the spot where it landed anyway.]


I don't mind reading but I was attempting to research something peculiar. Unfortunately I don't think I learned much this time.

Hmm?

[ He didn't see why she had to apologize for running into him. He was a bit careless and let his thoughts run and without realizing, he ran right into her as she had the stack of books. What a great way to start off their second meeting. Ichiru didn't look too upset at all.

He starts to pick up the rest of the book and the ones that were around her and the one that hit her as he stands back up with an armful of her books in his hands this time. ]


Do share, I'm rather curious to what you have discovered if anything at all.

[She wasn't exactly sorry about running into him, just for whatever damage her books might have caused. Though Ai is silently chastisizing herself for not realizing he was there in the first place. Really, she should have known.

When he moves to pick up the books, so does she. Stacking them once again and making sure they won't topple over a second time.]


This morning the AI mentioned they were performing calibrations to the dimensional stabilizer but I believe something has gone wrong with it. Some people are acting different today.

[Like you.]

[ He doesn't seem to care about what the reason or motivation was. Honestly, it was easier to go with the flow of things than make things even more awkward. He can tell that she wants to say something but doesn't really say it. Instead she just acts casually with him. He can't help but feel there's more to it than just what is being said. ]

That is a rather strong theory, but I don't doubt that something like that could be the reality of this place.

[ He muses as he sets the books on the table near them. ]

Weird? In what sort of way?

[ Clearly he sees nothing wrong and he doesn't seem to have much interest in that right now. ]

[The library is one of a number of places Zero often visits. He was really just passing by Ai's table, rather than actively seeking her out - she's not causing any issues, so he has no real reason at the moment - but soon finds himself approaching anyway. Her question is one of the reasons.]

Did something happen with it again?

[Even before responding one thing she will notice is the lack of the hunter's charm on his throat, and, well. The fact that he won't give off the presence of a vampire at all.]

[At his approach, Ai actually stiffens. Her back goes rigid and she doesn't look up from her book just yet. Even if he's not a vampire, even if he isn't either Zero she's come to know - he is going to pick up on that. It'll make him curious and he'll probably ask about it at some point. Ai can't simply say that it's because he's a hunter - that was never really an issue for her despite being a vampire. She obeys all of the rules put in place and has never given the Association any reason to look her way so it isn't as if she can possibly be in trouble.

But he might take it as guilt if she wasn't careful. Because how can she possibly explain that his presence felt off due to the fact that he was no longer a vampire? She can't. She can't explain how his brother gave their parents to a pureblood and he became a vampire in the attack. He might not believe her.

Worse, he might and it'll hurt him so badly.

For now Ai focuses on his question rather than her reaction to him. She, very pointedly, doesn't look up at him fully or even completely relax.]


I'm not sure but something is wrong, I know that much.

[He does notice the subtleties, and for the moment, of course he's going to mentally question it all. She already doesn't come off as most any other pureblood does. Is there a specific reason for it? Maybe, maybe not. For now it isn't the time to bring it all up.]

You think so? [he slightly frowns] Usually it's pretty obvious.

[Ai knows that it's coming - sooner or later and she has to be prepared for that time. She won't get away with lying to Zero so easily, he was too good at picking up at the smallest clues. No matter how hard she tries, today has been an emotional one for her and Ai can't hide everything.]

I do. I don't think this change is something that's so easy to notice this time. Mostly because I believe memories have been tampered with. Who would realize a change if an individual was missing memories or had them replaced with different ones?

To someone experiencing such a phenomenon, nothing would seem out of place.

[Only now does Ai look up at him.]

Did you find your brother, Kiryuu-san? [Is that he believes she refers to him? It seems strange. Always he's either been "papa" or Zero to her. There were never such formalities between the two of them.

But by his use of the word again, Ai can only assume that he has memories of being here. That maybe they've crossed paths at least once considering his role as a hunter and hers as a pureblood.

What Ai does know is that she's going to have to rescue the plant her mother gave her from her room. She'll break in if she has to.]

[Initially Jae-Ha is simply drawn to her presence out of being a pureblood. But it isn't (or not quite) the reason why he decides to engage with her. It's her little mess up that has his attention, though more so his amusement.

He isn't knocked over. Instead, a sweeping gust of wind catches every last book and stacks them in two piles on the ground.]


Isn't it unbecoming for a pureblood to be clumsy?

[He's taunting more than not.]

I hadn't known the Kuran family had a third child. What might your name be?

[She sighs.]

Couldn't you have done that before the book landed on my head?

[It's a rhetorical question, one she doesn't really need an answer to. Ai looks up at him and frowns because he certainly does feel like a vampire and she should have noticed him in her path but obviously was too distracted. His presence certainly is a new one so clearly he was affected by whatever had hit everyone this morning.]

I wouldn't have been clumsy had someone not stepped out in my way. [Looking at him very pointedly.

alkdsjf! Internally Ai becomes frustrated by that assumption. More because it would be forever strange to have the thought that she was a third child instead of a daughter.]


I'm not their sister. It's complicated. [Today has certainly put Ai in a less-than-open mood.] My name is Ai Kuran.

[Of course he could have. But it was a little innocent fun in seeing her fumble.

. . .Yet at the same time, he is totally at fault for at least half of it.]


Oh, Ai-chan, do forgive me? [So insincere. Pretty please~?] I simply couldn't help myself in wanting to be close to such a cute girl.

Mm, is that so? Now you've got me especially curious.

[Ai is perfectly capable of dishing out her own bit of teasing in return.

She looks him up and down, before leaning down to place one stack of books on top of the other.]


I don't think I will. [By herself she lifts the stack of books with ease. Clearly she intends to go on by herself.] I'm afraid I could never forgive someone who uses such cheesy lines.

[Just a couple of steps puts her past him and she looks at Jae-Ha over her shoulder.] Hopefully you aren't a cat, Mr. Vampire, or that curiosity may get the best of you.

It's close, I think. Maybe in another day or two. [But her mother is not a new arrival. Not unless she left and came back with new memories but Ai is sure she would have sensed the disappearance.] I'm sure something is off. Some people remember being here but others don't.

Five. It isn't that the number count is off too much, it's that some have changed. At least one isn't a vampire anymore and a couple that are.

I see. That's— [he stalls. Although off screen, one of his hands balls into a fist. Immediately his thoughts fall back on Soushi this morning, and how gutted he still feels.] . . .the memory thing does sound about right.

That does sound a little odd. Should I be worried at all? They haven't stirred up anything, have they?

[He's only aware of Yuuki, and recalls her speaking about a school. More quietly, then- ]

Let's hope that whatever this is it goes away by tomorrow.

It's difficult to tell just how many of us have been affected. Everything around me seems right except for the people. My memories are the same as what I've written in my journal but some individuals do seem to have experienced physical changes as well.

[Like her papa.]

No, there's nothing to be worried about. I'm simply putting it out there as a reminder to those who might already know and as simple information for those who don't.

[Don't worry about Yuuki. Ai's got that covered.]

I hope it won't last too long if it does go on for longer than a day.

My apologies...

[He had thought the young pureblood had seen him, but what a silly mistake to make. Of course there's no way she could see around the books that obscure her vision.

He assumes it's just due to the fact that he's tired and off schedule that has him so off his game.

Lifting a hand to his chest he bows apologetically, and if anything- he at least looks sincere.]


I should have been more careful when you were carrying so much. My lady, Please let me help you.

[No no no no no. Kija was not supposed to be a vampire. He was supposed to be Ai's friend from another world and not affected by this stupid situation! Why couldn't she have at least one person who wasn't affected? Why couldn't one person have stayed the same?

If it couldn't be her mother or papa, why couldn't Kija have stayed the same?

Ai almost takes the book off of her head and throws it down in frustration but she takes a deep breath in to calm herself. It isn't Kija's fault that he's been changed. Being frustrated at him or the book won't do any good.]


It's fine, I should have been paying more attention to my surroundings. [The "my lady" certainly does get to her but she lets him. For now..]

I can carry it myself. They aren't heavy. [If he remembers this when he's back to normal, Kija might have a few questions for her.] This time I'll be more careful.

[Already she knows that isn't going to work with Kija but she can try, at least.]

[With a smile he shakes his head. lifting a hand into the air. Unlike before, his claw is completely gone. It's just a normal 'human' hand.]

Please allow me. There's no way you could see over the top of them.

[And he means that kindly.]

If it's all right to ask, what are you researching? Perhaps I can be of assistance? [Picking up one of the books, he glances over the title.] I have time to spare. And I'd prefer to stay in here over linger outside in the sun. [He makes a face.] It's still a bit much to get used to. [But Jae-Ha insists on dragging him out during daylight hours.]

[It's weird, not seeing the scaled hand. Ai has only known him with it present and it's proof that some changes did happen physically. Which is enough to make her doubt that her diary wasn't corrupted as well.]

If you insist.

[Which she knows he will. At least that much hasn't changed about him.]

I'm attempting to research the type of technology that is capable of bringing and keeping us here. So far I've been unsuccessful in this endeavor. [Even by the time she's a teenager, technology was not as advanced as it was in the world. Certainly there was nothing capable of snatching people from their world and holding them captive.] That I do understand. I spent the first couple of weeks sleeping in during the day and going out in the evening and at nighttime.

[Now there is a face Ai doesn't really know. At least they've never talked. When she and her mother lived with Yuuri, she'd seen him about. But in those days her sleeping schedule had been so backwards in comparison to everyone else that she didn't have much contact with people who were awake during the day.]

[Despite odd sleep schedules, which he was also guilty of - though he'd started to fall into a more stable routine with Yuuri - he would have known Ai any other day. Not on any personal level - but he would have recognized her at least.

[But not today. Today she was just a girl sitting on a roof.]
