::So, hey, SAI Employees/Part Timers, there's a girl with black-red hair, a witch's hat, and cut off jean shorts playing with the spirits in the Spirit Garden.

If you do not know it's Rani, your brain is itching that she seems familiar because of whosits and whatsreasons.::

[voicesofspirits]

Oh, hello!

I don't believe I've seen you here before!

*Ruka walks up to her with a friendly smile.*

[ancient_prophecy]

... Huh? I'm in here all the time, Ms. Terasaki.

::Looking up from petting a Quillbolt Hedgehog.::

[voicesofspirits]

Huh, really?

*Ruka thinks she'd remember a girl wearing a big witch's hat.*

What's your name?

[ancient_prophecy]

Wakahisa Rani. Crown Princess Joou according to the press...? You okay, Ms. Terasaki? This isn't funny...

::She seems nervous, hugging the hedgehog.::

[voicesofspirits]

Oh! You're Rani, Kamala's sister.

*She frowns a little.*

I'm sorry, but I really feel like this is the first time I've met you.

[ancient_prophecy]

... But I've come here after school with Kamala when Mom was a volunteer before she became the "Empress Consort"?

Did you get hit with like. Amnesia sand?

[voicesofspirits]

Hmm, I remember Kamala coming here, but... I swear this is the first time I've seen you here.

*Ruka sits down on a small wall, surrounding one of the plant beds.*

And I'm pretty sure my memory is fine.

[ancient_prophecy]

That can't be right. If Kamala and Mom came here, I had to be there too!

[voicesofspirits]

Hmm.

*Ruka shuffles uncomfortably.
She had a choice here; to either lie and say she was here, or be honest and ask more questions... and she'll admit her curiosity was getting the better of her.*

Rani, have you ever had any issue with anyone else not remembering things about you?

[ancient_prophecy]

... Just normal forgetfulness...?

Well, as normal with all the magic and identity changes that happen around here...

::She doesn't like where you're going, she's laughing very nervously.::

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka feels awkward and can tell she's making Rani feel uncomfortable too.*

M-Maybe I've just been hit by something affecting my memory...
... though you and Kamala... you're both signers of Ancient Fairy Dragon together, correct?

[ancient_prophecy]

Gotta be... And...

Y-yeah, since our Aunt Shinoko couldn't keep it up anymore...

[voicesofspirits]

If it's alright, could you show me your signer mark?

Maybe I'll remember something. I'm really starting to worry something is affecting my memory.

*She actually wasn't concerned about her own memory at all, but she doesn't want Rani to feel more awkward than she already was, so she decided to frame it as herself which has the problem.*

[ancient_prophecy]

::Holds up her arm, and pulls off her fingerless arm length glove, yup, that's a Signer mark. Probably. Probably. Probably.::

See?

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka looks at it and sure enough, the mark is there and looks real enough.*

It really is remarkable... you and Kamala are the only Signers I've ever heard of that share a mark and a dragon.

Even myself and my twin brother have different marks and dragons.

[ancient_prophecy]

We're just that cool.

[voicesofspirits]

Hmm, I've been told that this is something that isn't actually possible...
... but I guess there's a first time for everything?

[ancient_prophecy]

Desperate times calls for desperate circumstances?

[voicesofspirits]

Hmm, maybe... but I do trust the opinion of the one who told me it isn't possible too...

[ancient_prophecy]

Again, weird things happen.

Kamala's a Signer and Dark Signer and supposedly that shouldn't work or something... I think?

[voicesofspirits]

I guess that is true. She's the only Signer I know of that's both.

[ancient_prophecy]

So no reason there can't be two Signers to one Dragon.

Your source could be using outta date information!

[voicesofspirits]

My source is very experienced with Signers, so I feel if anyone knows what's possible and what's not, it's her.

But, the universe has gotten messed about with a lot, so maybe this is just something that's happened, that probably shouldn't have happened, but it did.
Kind of like how there are two sets of Signers, when there probably shouldn't be.

[ancient_prophecy]

Yeah, so the rulebook's been thrown out!

[voicesofspirits]

I guess that's quite true.

[ancient_prophecy]

It's not like I just appeared last Friday...

[voicesofspirits]

Oh, yeah, that'd be pretty crazy.
People don't just pop out of nowhere, after all.

*Ruka still didn't really remember Rani. To her, she did just appear out of nowhere and she trusted that her memory was fine. She also trusted her own Ancient Fairy's statement that two signers existing for one dragon just wasn't a thing.
So who exactly is Rani?
At this point, Ruka felt like she shouldn't push any further. She didn't want to make things more awkward than they already are.
Though there is still probably some look of unsureness on her face.*
