✿ Investigating time
[The voice that prods at everyone is so quiet and tentative, it's probably pretty easily ignored, even despite being a voice in everyone's heads. Mai's just that bad at this psychic network thing.
She's trying, though.]
U-um... excuse me, everyone... Er, everyone that can hear me...
[focus, Mai]
I-it's just...does anyone know what we're supposed to be doing? I mean, everyone's wearing such spectacular masks and costumes, but... it's a little lonely...not being able to tell who everyone is...
[You're rambling, Mai.]
Ah! I don't want to take up too much of your time, everyone...I was just wondering... and if there's anything I can do, I definitely want to do my best...! Is it important to figure out who's who...?
...Thank you...for listening.
[She just feels a little alone, with everyone masked and hidden as they are.
ooc: this is a totally open psychic network post, feel free to use it to communicate about identities or what-have-you!]

Um, but... but I don't know how to dance, Inigo-san...! [she doesn't want to make a fool of herself, dance or not.]
no subject
I do not mean to brag, but I know a few steps.. perhaps I could teach you? [ He's pretty embarrassed about dancing in front of other people, but it won't be as bad at the ball, since.. well, masks and all. And he feels a little bit more comfortable with Mai, since she said they're friends.. (dokis for friends..) ]
It would truly be no effort for me whatsoever, I assure you. And I would wish for you to be able to have fun here as well.
no subject
Amazing...! You're so talented, Inigo-san!
[...but...]
Um...if it isn't too much trouble, I'd...appreciate it! I don't want to stand out...
no subject
Of course it would not be trouble! I can't say I am too familiar with the dances here, but I could improvise if you would let me lead. [ Yeah, because Mai is like the only person who'd trust it enough to let him lead.. let's be real here. ]
no subject
But she just sounds a great deal more relieved at that.]
Of course... I would feel better if Inigo-san led the dance, honestly... [Only Mai, truly.]
no subject
Although-- ]
Ah! Then again, with those masks, it is honestly hard to sometimes even tell for sure if a person is a woman or a man. It is a little embarrassing, honestly..
no subject
It's true... I guess it's a chance for everyone to try to...be someone different, right?
[Maybe she should try that too... Maybe.]
no subject
So instead he focuses on-- ]
Have you ever thought about it, Mai?
no subject
[Oh...about being someone else... no, she got her fill of that when she hopped worlds and timelines and was someone else.
Instead, she sounds even more uncertain when she responds.]
No, I... [...] I think I...still need to worry about who I am now... [Which she is happy to allow him to think is because of the Jaunts messing with their memories.]
no subject
About who you are now? [ But regardless of what problem he might be assuming she's having, he still sounds as pleasant as ever. ]
Why, that does not seem like a very difficult thing to worry about! You are you, is that not enough?
no subject
She's someone else entirely, and she doesn't know who that someone is.
But for Inigo, she musters up a smile, because she knows that it transmits through the mindlink.]
Ah... that's right. You're right. I'm me... so that's enough. Thank you, Inigo-san. And, um...for agreeing to teach me how to dance, too.
no subject
It is no problem.
[ He's actually glad to be able to help her! And then maybe he can make her feel a little more comfortable as well. ]
Let's meet up after the dance is over. I will make sure you are well prepared for the upcoming ones.
no subject
So there's quite a bit of relief in her immediate response--]
Mm! Okay! Thank you very much...!
