But why would anybody kidnap anybody?

[ She does not get it. ]

They could just send an invitation. Everyone likes new friends.

[inatimepast]

Why? For different things. Like money or stuff. Or for other things they get from the people they kidnap instead of the people somehow related to the kidnapping victims.

[ These kidnappers are not showing themselves though. That’s weird. ]

Either way, sending an invitation would defeat the point.

[kurukuruchan]

....If they want some money, they can just have it.

[ Hibiki takes a smol wallet out of her smol pocket. She starts peeling off bills marked as "prancs". She still isn't sure she buys this kidnapping theory, but, since he's so sure, it's worth a shot. ]

Do you think this would be enough?

[ THESE PRANCS HAVE VERY LARGE NUMBERS ON THEM. ]

[inatimepast]

You really don’t understand how kidnappings work, do you?

[ How does he, who has no memories, know, but she, who seem like she does, not? ]

What sort of money is that supposed to be?

[kurukuruchan]

...Prancs.

[ She holds them up so he can take a nice look at them. ]

For the kidnappers.

[inatimepast]

Pranks? Don’t prank them with fake money, prank them properly instead, if you’re gonna prank them.

[ Though pranking kidnappers could be bad. ]

[kurukuruchan]

It's real money. Here.

[ HAVE SOME MONEY. Since you don't seem to recognize it. ]

[inatimepast]

[ He squints at it, but doesn’t take it. ]

It’s not real money. I’ve never even heard of any currency called Pranks.

[kurukuruchan]

You've never been to Prance?

Or Europara?

[ How lost is she?? ]

[inatimepast]

I don’t know, but I know there’s nothing like that. There’s France and Europe though.

[ What maps did she learn from? ]

[kurukuruchan]

[ There isn't? That's not what she learned in school at all.

Oh no, this is worrying. Has she been

has she not been Prench all this time???

(because "shikyoin hibiki" is such an overwhelmingly prench name)

She makes a grab for his sleeve. He sounds like he knows a lot of stuff, but, but, but: ]

Then, where's Persailles?

[ IS SHE A CHILD WITHOUT A HOME ]

[inatimepast]

[ Wouldn’t that be a Papanese name? (Papan, the land of all papa’s.)

Considering the theme, he’s pretty sure he knows what it’s supposed to be. ]

Are you talking about Versailles? That’s with a v, not a p.

[kurukuruchan]

[ there's an occasional pouble stanpard with the naming here, okay

Hibiki frowns, trying this out. ] V....Ver....

[ But no, this one she's sure of! She shakes her head. ] It's definitely, definitely Persailles! Look!

[ Here is her school ID. For kindergarten.

It sure does say "Persailles" on it. ]

[inatimepast]

[ pelepara is a weird thing

He looks at her ID with a look of doubt. ]

I’ve never even heard of a place called Persailles. It’s definitely Versailles.

[kurukuruchan]

Then you heard wrong.

[ This makes her feel better, having had this thought. She puts her ID, and her prancs, back. ]

So are you coming to the tea party?

[inatimepast]

I’m pretty sure I didn’t.

[ Tea party with potential kidnappers. Yeah right. That’s gonna happen. ]

No, I don’t think so. I have other things to focus on.

[kurukuruchan]

But there'll be sweets. And drinks. And games...

[ A thought! ]

Oh, there's juice if you don't like tea.

[inatimepast]

I’m fine, I don’t really need it.

[ He shakes his head. ]

[kurukuruchan]

....is it fun that you don't like?

[ SHE HAS A SUSPICION. ]

[inatimepast]

I like fun, I just don’t like not remembering a whole lot of everything and not knowing where I am.

[kurukuruchan]

That's weird.

[ It didn't happen to her. And even if she didn't remember, this is obviously a good place, because all places are good places. ]

[inatimepast]

No, that’s not weird at all.

[ He may be misunderstanding. ]

[kurukuruchan]

[ Which leads to Hibiki being very confused!

But she is not the sort to remain confused for long. Instead, she is the sort who comes up with explanations that best suit her. ]

If you don't remember, you can just make a bunch of good new memories instead!

[ She's clever. Praise her. ]

[inatimepast]

[ That makes total sense. ]

I’d sort of still like to have my memories though.

[kurukuruchan]

That's okay. Come this way!

[ She is gonna cheer you up whether you want cheering up or not!

Boy, does she have good ideas. ]
