Too Much Money, Too Much Time On Her Hands...! [Open]

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

If anyone could see Sasami at the moment? They'd be utterly jealous of her. Thanks to the unprecedented event of having two sets of memories, ranging in over 700 years worth of events, Sasami was a rich little 708-year-old girl. Her mind ran rampant at all the stuff she could get with her money, but stopped as something else took priority - she needed equipment and food for her store in the City.

About an hour or so later, Sasami's main mission was complete - dishes, utensils, special stoves and enough food to fully stock both her store and her recently-discovered home. But, even with all this, Sasami still had plenty of money to burn.

"Now, what do I do?"

Cagalli had been poking around similar stores, looking for her spices, when she certainly did see Sasami at the moment. "Did... did you sell your brain or something?"

The girl had to have sold SOMETHING. Or did memories sell that high?

"H-Huh? Oh, n-no, just..." Sasami stammered a bit, before recovering. "It's silly, but... I think Stacy had done something to me when I first came aboard, since I have two sets of memories. I was hoping I could get rid of the false ones through it, but... I couldn't. Instead, well..."

She couldn't help but grin sheepishly.

"With what, exactly?" A curious look on her face, but the smile was in Hay Lin's eyes as she appeared next to the older younger girl.

"We just got here, and you're already bored?" Midna's purchases didn't add up to match; in general, they were common items, easily found and easily procured.

So now there was little left to do but bug her fellow crew members.

Sasami looked up to see Hay Lin by her side. It was easy to see that she was curious to know what she was talking about.

"Well... y'know that guide who showed up when we arrived? Well... I decided to try to sell some of my memories - well, the false ones that I had been given and, I ended up going a bit farther and..."

With that, she showed Hay Lin the money still in Sasami's possession - which is still a lot.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"N-No, not bored!" Sasami corrected. "I just don't know what to do next! There's so much out there and I don't know where to start!"

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

"Two sets of... and you sold them, huh?" Just the idea of 'selling' memories sounded horrible, even with the confirmation that they didn't go away when sold. That made it sound far less horrifying than selling spare organs, at least, and probably a half-decent way of making money.

Still. "And you got enough credits for all that?"

[twilit-midna.livejournal.com]

"Eee hee hee. Looks like you've already bought half the planet, though." She hovered a little closer to some of Sasami's purchases, curious. "Is all of this food?"

[guardian-haylin.livejournal.com]

Hay Lin's response? Excited squealing and tight hugs to the other girl. Absolutely no jealousy whatsoever from the Guardian.

"Congratulations, meimei! I'm so happy that this ended up being a good thing for you...!"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no - a lot of it is cooking utensils and equipment!" Sasami said. "I found a restaurant in the City and I need something to fix the food with!"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami let out an 'eep!' as Hay Lin hugged her. Returning the hug, she giggled a bit.

"Thanks, neesan!" Sasami said, smiling. "Now, I just need to figure out what else to get... well, besides maybe more food!"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh." Sasami uttered, nodding. "I know it seems bad, but... I guess I was kinda hoping I didn't have to worry about what was real and what wasn't."

Surprisingly, Mindy was in the outfit that Sasami had brought her the last time they were on a planet. It was a little more showy than she was used to, but hell, it was a nice enough gesture, right?

"Hey, let me help with that. I got some stuff like place mats and spatulas and things to cook with. Hey, I never asked: how much have you cooked before?"

Mindy looks a little different too. Her hair, instead of its usual ponytails, was just tied back, and she looked a little more drooped than usual, but she seemed to make no mention of that.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami was a bit surprised to see Mindy wanting to help out like that, but she was willing to have as much help as she needed.

"Oh, Mindy...! Ah, thanks! More the merrier, right?" Sasami replied. "As for cooking, quite awhile, actually! I usually did the cooking back home!"

It was then that she noticed Mindy's look. "...are you okay?"

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

"I can kinda understand why you'd want to know... but... how can you be sure which are which?" She wouldn't go erasing any memories until she had just about everyone she knew corroborating which ones were real.

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Well. It wasn't her usual cup of tea, but Mindy was usually, maybe, possibly interested in trying something new every now and again.

She nodded. "Good. I kinda did too, dad needed me to since we were by ourselves. This could actually be a pretty good idea. We can go hit up the place and look for more ingredients."

Mindy looked a little startled at first, then shook her head laughing a little. "I guess its showing. Well, to put it bluntly, I'm burning the candle at both ends. Took on some more training."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"I have... a little bit of help." Sasami said, a bit vague-sounding in her statement. "I found out that I'm... not alone."

With that, she pointed to a nearby window, where a reflection of Sasami should have been, there was a reflection of an older woman resembling Sasami.

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

Help? Not alone? And pointing at a window. Sasami didn't seem crazy, so she turned to look... and then jumped back about a foot, eyes wide. "Wh-what-how is that...?"

[guardian-haylin.livejournal.com]

"How about a fridge to stock all this food up in?" Hay Lin asked, hoisting the other girl onto her shoulders a la piggyback ride. "Wouldn't want it to spoil, right?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"That's Tsunami. In my world, she was one of three goddesses who had an interest in all of us." Sasami said. That's a easy way to handle things. "But... she can't do much here. Something happened to her... to me. And now, well..."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Ah, that would be a great idea!" Sasami said, nodding as she found herself being lifted up. "My restaurant has a big fridge, but I don't think the one at my home has one... or at least one that works!"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami did agree over the idea of getting more ingredients - she might have missed some along the way. However, what Mindy said next was worrying.

"More training? You're going to burn yourself out if you don't watch it!" Sasami said, worried.

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

A goddess. Well, that explained that about as well as it could be, regardless of any faith she had in those kinds of things on her own Earth. "So are you... like, two people in one body, or..." Cagalli wasn't even sure what questions she wanted to ask.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much, yes." Sasami said. "But... I'm my own person and Tsunami her own."

A year ago, Sasami was worried more about her existence, that the people would hate her if they knew the truth about herself - that she thought she wasn't the real Sasami. Instead, she knew there'd always be someone who'd still care for her, so she wasn't as worried.

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Mindy shook her head. "You were the one who had a whole blast of magic happening, and you're worried about me and some exercise? I don't think I'll have much to worry about, but I DO wanna know what's going on with you, Sasami."
