[and Sharon will promptly go to the station! she has the plate of food with her when she goes, of course. it would be rude to show up without a proper gift!!]
[when she arrives, she curtsies fancily with one hand pulling up the corner of her skirt
Good afteroon, Master Fox. I certainly hope you haven't had lunch yet today.
Got it in one. [ a pause. ] Well, I guess that means it might not have been random, since it was beyond my control. Still, I'm afraid I can't offer any insight on the reasoning, if there is any.
Not at all. I can't speak for the others, but I definitely can't think of anything about myself that would make me stand out. [ idly, their index finger taps against the bench. ] Haha, not that I'd remember, of course.
I'm not so arrogant to think that that promise is for my benefit, but I hope you will--for your own sake and that of everyone here. [ cheerfully, ] And I'll return the favour and do what I can, as your support.
[ their finger taps against the bench. when they speak, their tone is still light, apparently unperturbed. ]
For now, what else can I do but trust my intuition? The lack of awareness of anything else--amnesia, after all--makes any other option difficult at the moment.

No need for "Master". And I haven't, as a matter of fact.

[SHE TEASES. she also takes a seat on the bench and offers them the fish plate]
Help yourself, if you'd like. I hope you find the meal satisfactory.
no subject
[ they take the plate. ]
Looks good. I'm sure it's better than anything I could come up with, at least.

[folds her hands politely on her lap]
But I suppose I shouldn't pretend this isn't a business call for any longer, should I?

I suppose I am curious about the criteria you and your fellow leaders used to divide onto teams.
no subject
That wasn't our decision. You were randomly assigned.
no subject
[that seems to surprise her a bit]
By this "Realm," I presume?

[she sounds thoughtful as she says that, and she takes some time to smooth out her skirt]
I suppose you can't offer any insight into what makes you different than the rest of us?
no subject
[ they take a bite of the food. ]
no subject
Sometimes that which is special in us can only be perceived by others.
[a pause, her gaze growing distant, thoughtful]
At any rate, if I am to be on your team, then I promise I will give this mysterious competition my all. ♥

And I cannot promise they are only for your benefit, either. But I imagine everyone here has something they believe is worth fighting for.

But, perhaps, not completely unheard of.

Who can say?

I do empathize with your position. It must be awful to have had your entire identity stripped away from you so suddenly and inexplicably.

You don't fear that memory may be falsified?

What can you trust if not yourself and your own instincts. . .? I understand.
