Memory: Gallia-4 revolt (blargh I’m sick; Episode 12)
Day won: 279
Game runner: Kitsune
Form: dog's tooth on a thong; prick yourself with the tip to view the memory; three uses

SPACE THEY’RE IN A SPACE SHUTTLE!!!! THEY’RE FLYING AROUND A PLANET!!!! THEY LAND!!! There’s a fighter spacecraft with them too cool.

Sheryl gets out of the space shuttle and there are GIANT GREEN AND PURPLE DUDES EVERYWHERE? SHE DOES NOT FIND THIS PARTICULARLY ODD IN THIS MEMORY? There’s a red carpet for her and she’s coming off the shuttle's stairs and she just falls over and passes out (it's almost always a headache or some sort of balance issue, since all Sheryl's medical problems at this point come from the toxins being generated in her brain). Grace catches her.

While Sheryl is unconscious at worst and whacked out beyond comprehension at best, the giant dudes start arguing with each other. (“Hey, what’s this about? Making damn fools of us… I guess she doesn’t want to sing for the Zentradi after all.” “N-no… This is…” “Shut up. The negotiations are cancelled.”) And the giant dudes ALL START SHOOTING EACH OTHER WITH LASERS. Sheryl and her posse are hostages as the factions of giant dudes settle into a stalemate.

Somehow Sheryl and her posse wind up in a building and someone puts Sheryl in a bed.

Grace: I’m sorry. She hadn’t been feeling well for a few days before our departure. But she just wouldn’t listen to me…
Alto: Being so reckless… wasn’t it a professional’s job to take care of her health?
Sheryl: You’re right. (sitting up weakly) I have no excuses…
Alto: It’s okay, just sleep! Singing won’t change anything right now.
Sheryl: But I… didn’t give you your present… The sky where you can…

Alto rolls her back into bed as she passes out again. (“Grace, please do your best to keep this fool from doing anything stupid.”)

After a while the giant guys start shooting at each other again. There is a big battle.

Then… there is music from the sky? (“Alto! I’m here to deliver your birthday present!”) and Seikan Hikou blares. The fighting stops because DO YOU REMEMBER LOVE, FUCKERS. LITERALLY, THEY ALL THROW DOWN HER GUNS TO LISTEN TO RANKA AS SHE SINGS FROM THE COCKPIT OF A SPACE FIGHTER. THEY FALL OVER FROM NOSEBLEEDS. THAT IS HOW ZENTRADI ROLL. THE BATTLE ENDS. Ranka’s song switches to extended-version Aimo.

Sheryl is left in her room, feeling sick, miserable, and powerless. Even more so as Grace, watching out the window at Ranka, comments “That’s girl is amazing.”

After the concert is over, Sheryl watches from the balcony as Alto takes Ranka for a joyride in his Valkyrie.

+ SPACE SHIPS. INTERSTELLAR FLIGHT. GIANT GUYS IN SPACE MARINE ARMOR. LASERS.
+ The thing that made her important enough to judge a beauty pageant (and get the red carpet treatment from a load of giant dudes) is probably singing?
+ She really wanted to give Alto that present.
+ A feeling of absolute powerlessness at being saved? Upstaged? by Ranka, who was a nobody just two memories ago. Daiquiri does not have the wellspring of confidence necessary to handle this atm.
+ Songs remembered: Seikan Hikou, Aimo ~ Tori no Hito.
