Memory #18

Acquired: Day 456 (Heartforge) | Write-Up (pending)

Video—
  • Here. Memory ends at ~1:41.
  • All of the names in this memory are currently blocked out.
Summary—
  • You race into a city so overgrown by plants that it's virtually unrecognizable. It's something to do with the city being full of dense aer, and the sword you're carrying is the only reason no one in the party is dying.
  • You tell Sketchy Guy especially to stick close to you, and he pretends to be scared and asks you to hold his hand. Despite yourself, you grin. You're fond of the old guy, and definitely don't mind the play-flirting.
  • But Pirate Girl inserts herself between you, and that's just... ugh. You tell her to give it a rest, and that you're not running off by yourself anymore, so she doesn't need to hold your hand.
  • The rest of the party realizes there are monsters in here; they got past the barrier somehow. But you're distracted by the thickness of the plant overgrowth off to your left. Boy wants to know why you're distracted, and you tell him it's nothing.
  • It's not nothing, which you can hear Sketchy Guy informing the others even as you walk away from them. The Lower Quarter's at the bottom of that slope. Your home.
  • You know no one got out of the city. You know everyone might be...
  • It makes your throat tight. It makes it hard to breathe. It makes you—
  • are Girl in Red and Krityan Woman seriously analyzing the fact that you're letting any of this show right in front of you, you're going to die of embarrassment.
Notables—
  • ...well. You've gotten a lot more comfortable with these people, that's for sure.
  • Those who have seen Memory #9 might recognize the ability of your sword to cut through dense aer from a conversation you had in that memory. Observant people might gather that the two memories are connected.
Internally—
  • ...Girl in White isn't with you, but. Yeah, this memory and Memory #9 are probably connected.
