Niwa Sachiri

Drifting Tokyo

v0.8 beta

Also posted without comment

The end of summer break. A mysterious yet staggeringly beautiful transfer student with vermillion hair who has forgotten everything arrives at Fujisaka Gakuin.

Sometime near her middle school/high school transition, Something Happened to Sachiri. She woke up in hospital undergoing therapy and reconditioning and could not remember anything before that point. After two and a half quiet years through high school in the care of relatives in Hamamatsu however, things started getting Strange again. She was then sent off to Tokyo to live with an aunt for a change in surroundings (and a school perhaps more suited to her), transferring after the summer break.

Lore (Sachiri)

1: She is the mysterious transfer student who transferred a few days after the start of the year. An S class beauty, but a bit (or a lot) offbeat.
2: Comes from a reasonably well to do family from Chubu, though her aunt, a Tokyo police detective, struggles like anyone else. Her parents died two and a half years ago in a Mysterious Accident (Snowy road in the Japanese Alps?).
3: While spending long weeks and months in a hospital bed, she first (re?)learned to Dream, enjoying it while maintaining a distance from other people due to being Weird. Since coming to Tokyo, she's found herself able to do more things she couldn't remember being able to do and things have been getting Weirder.
4: Mei is actually her cousin, not her aunt.
5: ?

[17:52] <@Peel> Ever since she woke up with nothing after That Night, she's enjoyed dreaming
[17:52] <@Peel> a respite from the alienating world
[17:53] <@Peel> The world where things happen around her that she can't control
[17:54] <@Peel> Flowers blooming, animals running
[17:55] <@Peel> Somtimes children loving her for no reason
[17:55] <@Peel> Sometimes adults hating her for no reason
[17:56] <@Peel> Sometimes the other kids at her high school suddenly doing things while she's with them - moving too fast, objects coming to their hand, hearing thoughts - just for a moment, enough to notice them and be scared and then fear for their own memory
[17:57] <@Peel> And the sun. Ever since she woke up after That Night, she's disliked it
[17:57] <@Peel> It makes her uncomfortable. She likes to stand in the shade.
