3 ♥ What a week... [voice; but quiet!]
[To be frank, Selphie didn’t know what to feel. She feels like this has happened before but with different circumstances she can’t quite recall but the feeling of déjà vu is weighing heavily upon her shoulders. After the fighting and the fleeting feelings of panic were done running their course, Selphie merely sat down on the ground in the shadow of the rec centre. She knew that Ikki would find her sooner or later but for now, she needed to sort out her head.
She sat there for quite some time lost in thought. Having a family was amazing and she wouldn’t change a thing in the world for the time she got to spend with the people in her make-believe family. There was one little issue however that was churning inside her belly for quite some time. It was bringing up repressed memories of another time that she doesn’t want to think about. She went still as a statue, her eyes going wide in shock before her hands started to shake.
It was through sheer force of will that she managed to get them to stop. There was a turbulent storm brewing in her and she didn’t have much desire to be around a lot of people but knew that there were others who suffering far more than she was at that time. Childhood trauma aside, Selphie finally stands up and strides out into the light of the plaza with a look of resolution on her face. There were people she needed to find, others she needed to demand answers from and two particular grumps that she wanted to hug more than anything. She could lie down in the dark and have a pity party later on.
Right now. Right there and now, she knew she had to do something as she goes back into the daylight to help where she can. She’s not a recent High School grad working as a receptionist but a SeeD who has been neglecting her training a bit. There’s also the issue of her memories and something that she can’t shake no matter how much she tries to think that it’s all just a trick.
Still, there’s someone in particular that she needs to seek out. She’d borrowed Ikki’s journal for a couple days and had spent a fair amount of time listening to past entries hoping to jog her memory more than talking to people could ever do. All the friends she’d made and lost and some things she’d rather forget despite the shaky details on some of them. A couple of distinct things stand out to her though after going through Ikki’s journal.
It’s with these thoughts in mind that she takes to the journal. However, she keeps the volume down but cheerful none the less.]
Good morning Luceti!
It’s a nice day out don’t ya think?
[Or maybe not because nobody likes having their memories tampered with is what she’s thinking.]
Looks like a lot of things have happened since I was here last, huh? Sorry if I didn’t recognize anybody when I first got here but I think I’ll be all right now. Or… if I was too loud and clumsy.
You know how it is.
Anyway, a certain shameless flirt who knows who he is owes me ice cream. Good thing you work at a convenience store that used to be a pizza shop, right?
And yeah!
[Filtered to Frey.]
We need to talk. As soon as possible.

[Uninterested tone, this is an important question, though.]
[Action]
Break their prisoners out and leave the jerks to their fate.
[Action]
But no, he has to ask.]
What about the prisoners that are jerks?
[Action]
[She hadn't quite gotten that far in her thought process. She gives it quite a bit of thought before responding. They could be released merely to commit the same crimes that landed them in prison in the first place. On the other hand, they could be willing to make amends for their past in an attempt to seek forgiveness from those that they've wronged. She wouldn't wish going to prison on anybody after spending time in one herself but even Selphie knows that there are some people who deserve to be there.]
Taking any lives is hard enough as it is but if they're willing to make amends, I say let 'em out.
[Action]
Good enough.

[BEST FRIEND/SON EVER.]
[Action]
Well, I suppose that counts you out too then.
[Action]
[See how much he cares, yep.]
[Action]
[Arms folding over chest, pouting is on.]
You suck, Ikki.
[Action]
[He just smiles smugly at her pout.]
[Action]
Whatever.
