Memory #10 [cw: implied NSFW]

Acquired: Day 439 | Write-Up

Summary—
  • You're older, twenty or so, waking up with a hangover.
  • And waking up next to someone, which is way more startling.
  • You proceed to sneak very slowly and carefully out of bed, check yourself over in a mirror, and then start to get dressed silently.
  • You spot a piece of armor on the floor and oh hey sudden flood of anxiety and adrenaline, but for some reason the nerves ease up when you notice the uniform's in shades of green.
  • When you go to sneak out through the window, your dog makes this noise of disapproval at your back that makes you feel even crappier.
  • You tell the dog this isn't one of your better decisions, but it's not the worst one you've ever made either, and drop out of the (second story, apparently) window to land easily on the pavement below.
Notables—
  • When you look in the mirror, your hair's a little shorter than it is in later memories.
  • Same clothes you were wearing in all of the other memories where you're twenty-one, and they fit you almost exactly the same.
  • The uniform on the floor is light and dark green, so the knight you took to bed last night wasn't part of either of the two brigades you're familiar with from other memories.
  • Well, guess that dog is definitely yours. Also either really smart, or you were projecting, or both.
  • The glimpse of the city you get as you're leaving your window looks like the same part of the city you saw in Memory #2.
  • Did you really just sneak out of your own room to avoid a morning-after conversation, wow. Just really putting the 'disaster' in Disaster Bisexual today.
Internally—
  • You know you're twenty, so this must be before Memory #2.
  • You were specifically relieved that the uniform wasn't a different color, but you're not sure which one, or why. Maybe just glad you didn't sleep with one of Captain Sneer's people?
  • You had no idea whether you'd slept with a man or a woman until you saw the uniform, and then you were suddenly really sure for some reason you know wasn't 'women can't be knights'.
