Spren of Kindness she/her Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Just now, Matrim's Dice said: "That's..." Craven counted on his fingers. "Really old." "It can feel that way, yes." Fifteen seems like a long time ago now, for him. "But the point stands."

Remembrance feels a sudden resonance of disappointment. After a bit of confusion, it is finally able to pinpoint the origin. It approaches one of the new lives, Craven, represented here by a wisp of light.

"You can come along for this one mission. It probably won't be dangerous at all, but you have to do everything we tell you to. If we tell you to run away and hide, then you run away and hide. Understand?"

Craven would never dream of hiding like a coward. But he knew that they'd never let him go if he said that... He nodded solemnly.

EchoOfThePlanes he/him Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Remembrance touches the light, unsure of the result. ... It is confused. A lack of result! Confusion! It touches the light again, this time pushing against the veil separating it from this little life. ... Nothing. It is even more confused, and beginning to become frustrated. Remembrance touches the light again, swiping through its incomporeal form with increasing frustration. Finally, it reaches out towards the nearby storm of energy, not really realizing or understanding what it was about to do. It latches onto the energy, finding it very similar to its own life force. It draws in the energy, and then reaches towards Craven's cognitive self. It pushes. ... Connection! A name enters its mind: Craven. Remembrance leaps back, shocked and surprised, its mind filling with things that were not familiar. Edited April 27, 2021 by EchoOfThePlanes

Quote Wait, Fadran I think thought the same as me; that you were asking to join the mission and not the group. He probably should clarify. But since I thought that's what you meant, so did Craven. 6 minutes ago, EchoOfThePlanes said: I think so. I imagine that Craven would feel its presence in his mind, or something like that. Quote Ah. Makes things... interesting... Craven suddenly felt something. He didn't know what exactly, but he didn't like it. He held up a hand to his head. "My head hurts." he declared.

Craven isn't lying, he just doesn't know the difference.

He walked back over to his cabin and sat down on his bed, rubbing his head. He had never had a headache come so suddenly before.
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 27, 2021 Author Posted April 27, 2021 Ayia watched him leave, concerned. "I guess... do we want to wait for him?" @Spren of Kindness
Mat he/him Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 @EchoOfThePlanes Quote I assume the headache would pass as quickly as it came if Remembrance left Craven's head? It is going to leave Craven's head, right?

"We should probably wait a few minutes at least."

He walked back over to his cabin and sat down on his bed, rubbing his head. He had never had a headache come so suddenly before. Remembrance is confused, shocked, and unsure about this new thing. It did something new, and it was not sure how! Thoughts from Craven continue to fill Remembrance's head, and Remembrance begins to feel a new emotion: anxiety. This is very new, and Remembrance does not like it at all. It feels Craven's pain, which magnifies its own anxiety tenfold. Suddenly, it feels sympathy. Remembrance follows Craven into his cabin, and hesitantly reaches out toward Craven's cognitive light. It is again unsure of what will happen, but Remembrance does not like this new pain filling its head. It touches Craven's light, and is flooded with memories. It cannot sort through any of the memories, so it decides to keep its hold on the light. It pushes its own anxiety away, which is slowly replaced by... >curiosity!< Quote Remembrance is attempting to dampen Craven's headache with its curiosity for Craven.
