Ah, so this does still work.

Hello. My name is Lily.

I... well, I suppose I don't really know where to begin with this. It's a lot to take in. It ... has been for a little while, really.

I hate to admit this, but these numbers have been in my head for a good while. A couple months, at least. I honestly took one look at what came up when I put them in, and...

Heh. I figured people had to be crazy, right? Or that this must be some sort of joke, even though I very well know I don't know any way I could have known them.

Perhaps I tried to ignore it because I didn't want to drag my family into anything crazy. Yet the more I sit here and have these things nagging at me, the more I realize I could be doing that by just sitting idly by.

What I remember that came with them is just as vivid as the day they came to me, as well.

I just need some sort of answer.

One of the b-best ways is to read through some of the past entries on this network. Things... aren't deleted with time. You can learn a lot by going t-through the history.

Powers are... kind of a weird thing. Sometimes, past-you m-might have had special powers, or something special they owned, or... something like that. Some people have s-started to get those things back. I'm... well. I'm a magical girl, because past-me was.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

A... magical girl...

...care to explain that one further...?

[peacefulwinter]

I don't know all the details, but... not-me was s-something called a Precure. Start with your everyday magical girl... then instead of the staff and the silly things, give her c-crazy physical strength and resilience. I can jump over short buildings when I'm transformed into Cure Diamond. I have ice p-powers, too! It's really neat. [She sounds really proud of it...]

I t-think Annie is the same thing, but she's called Cure Sunny. I wonder... they don't really have a similar theme... [Winter goes quiet for a moment, considering the implications.]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[There is an excessively long pause on Lily's end, as she looks ... well, dumbstruck. And probably quite silly. For several, long moments. Oh, hello Echo.]

Precure...

I- I... know that...

[Confused, clearly, she reaches up and rubs the bridge of her nose, clenching her eyes shut.]

...I was that?

[peacefulwinter]

[BREAKING NEWS, MORE PRECURE]

You w-were? Then... there are more of us? T-that's spectacular! I was starting to wonder if it would j-just be Annie and I!

Do you... know anything else? Name, powers, color...? [What is this, a survey? Down, girl.]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

It is? I mean... I don't even know what... or why, or...

[She is visibly getting a headache trying to relate this partial bit of memory to ... anything, really.]

All I know is... the term, "the Legendary Warriors, Precure." I recognize that they fought against... some sort of evil. That I was one of them. But...

I don't really know beyond that...

[In the end, this doesn't help her understand anything, she finds. If anything, she is MORE CONFUSED.]

[peacefulwinter]

Well... I t-think it's good, anyway. I was getting... a little lonely in Annie's magical girl team. I don't k-know much more than you about the logistics, but... that's what we are. Between us, we may learn more about what the Precure are. H-hopefully, it's something that can apply to all of us, and not just one, but... we'll make it work.

I'm sorry, this is p-probably... very confusing.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[In spite of herself, Lily gives a slight, quiet laugh.]

"Confusing..." Yes, it is at that.

I'd almost forgotten what it was like to get those... "pulses."

A warrior...

Winter, I'm not exactly much of a fighter. I spend time between classes in the library. I don't... how am I supposed to be something like that?

I actually think I'm more confused now than when I started.

[peacefulwinter]

I'm no better t-than you. When I first found all this... I was the same way. I spent all m-my time in the library. I had no friends.

My time here - and my time as a Precure - has ch-changed me... for the better, I think. I don't think you... should think about it too much now. W-wait until you know a little more. And d-decide then. You'll have to make some hard choices. But... that's what life is like. This one and your p-past one.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Of course... right. I can't argue with that.

I need more information.

Still, if there is a connection between me and you, and others... If it can help me figure out what's been going on...

[She gives a light smile]

Well, that's at least something, right?
