splitthepartySkill 2:
Makeup Artistry (Basic)
Gained: Day 291, Butterfly's Game
Form: A Nasturtium flower. Eat it for the skill. (0/1 Uses remaining)
It's perhaps more accurate to say that this skill level is "general cosmetics". This skill level basically gives Mayu a comprehensive knowledge of cosmetics and the application thereof. This includes things like perfume knowledge -- Mayu is surprisingly passionate about perfume, actually. Basically, she knows what brands are good, what brands are bad, what stuff to avoid for allergies, etc. etc.
What she doesn't have yet are stuff specific to stage makeup. Those come in the next skill level!
Memory 4:
Ayumi telling scary stories
Gained: Day 296?, Baker's Cry Mouse Game
Form: Tiny clear bottle. Insert a liquid and drink from bottle for memory. (Infinite uses, used)
This isn't a particularly important memory, it just gives more friendship feelings, and gives her more memories of her friends: Ayumi likes telling scary stories. She really likes telling scary stories. To the point where she keeps a collection of candles with her at all times purely so that she can tell scary stories with the right ambiance.
She's pretty good at telling them, too. Of course, even if the scary stories are scary, Mayu knows she can count on Morishige, so in the end she enjoys them because she feels safe with Shig!
...Yeah, that's it. That's the memory. It also includes Ayumi's scary story about Heavenly Host though, so know she knows that her school was built on top of Heavenly Host, the site of the death of a young teacher who supposedly haunts the school's halls.
This will certainly be put to use by the fact that her next memory is one she can remember of Heavenly Host.
Memory 5:
"Please... hide my body." (Timeline 2)
Gained: Day 298, Snow Queen's game
Form: Palm-size snowflake. Kiss it to receive the memory. You'll feel chilled and numb for a few minutes after. (Infinite uses, unused)
Summary: After the initial shock of finding a dead body wears off, Mayu starts wondering if there's anything she can do for the dead girl in front of her. At that point, the girl's ghost pops out and begs Mayu to hide her body so that nobody has to see how horrible she looks in death. Mayu agrees, and after searching for a while, finds a bedsheet and uses that to cover the body. She doesn't think it's good enough, but it should at least stop random people from seeing the body.
The ghost thanks Mayu, and tells her to never forget her kind heart -- because the place they're in will try to crush it with all its might. Shortly afterwards, Mayu finds a protective charm on the floor, and concludes it's a thank-you gift from the ghost girl. She takes it with her, thankful that she at least helped this one girl find peace in some small way.
Notes: This is the first memory she can actually completely remember inside Heavenly Host! And it... certainly sets the scene, doesn't it? It's not the memory of the trauma of the first time she's seen a dead body, but the time once the shock wore off. Her immediate emphasizing with the girl will probably also encourage Mayu's desire to help everyone she can! ...It'll also be kind of alarming, since wasn't her true heart just talking about ghosts in the last game? And now she remembers ghosts! ...More worryingly, the ghost's words indicate that she's trapped somewhere, it's filled with ghosts, and the only way to keep oneself safe is not giving up on being a good person.
