Week 5

[airlockedmods]

[Five weeks in, and suddenly your numbers have been reduced by a lot. All evidence of Oda's methodical slaughter has been wiped away by the robots, but getting rid of the memories isn't going to be so easy. Not to mention the emotional scars.

Again on Sunday morning, you'll find yourselves with some new memories and some new items. Today, however, there are no new rooms.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday


(( ooc: Don't forget to turn in your AC for Week 4, submit your memory regains, and put in your Benefactor threads! ))

[A whole village? Varric's problems were vast, especially considering the damage done to the Chantry, but they didn't come anywhere near having his whole home destroyed.

He straightened up a little, feeling almost like a bucket of cold water had been upturned on his head. When he looked to Mozu, the earlier chill of apathy had been erased from his face, leaving only a note of sympathy in his eyes and down-turned mouth.]

You shouldn't hide it away in your cell. If everyone else can mourn their losses publicly, you should be able to as well.

[It takes her a sec, but then she nods.]

Yeah. Yeah, I get you. There's probably room, anyhow.

[neverheardofhim]

If not, maybe the greenhouse? [There were plenty of bad memories for her there, he couldn't -- wouldn't forget that. But she'd enjoyed it there once, hadn't she?]

[andneversaydie]

...You know... yeah. I mean, we were a farming village, so I imagine they'd all like something like that, too.

[neverheardofhim]

Sounds perfect to me. Let them be in a place that's important to them.

Is there anything else they might like? Anything I can help you pull together?

[andneversaydie]

Nah. I think... I've already handled a lot of it back home. I remember stuff like that, anyhow. I just... didn't want to believe it was as bad as it seemed until I actually remembered, you know?

[neverheardofhim]

Yeah... I think I can understand that. It's... hard to really grasp or let yourself believe the worst possible thing.

Optimism, right?

[andneversaydie]

Yeah. Even if everything says it's probably happening that way... and everything's kinda bad even without that.

[neverheardofhim]

[At first, he only nodded, trailing off into a thoughtful silence. He might have even let their conversation be, if another thought didn't occur to him.]

I'm not stupid enough to make any promises here. Not anymore. But I hope that remembering that shit is the last bad thing that happens to you, Rosie.

[andneversaydie]

Yeah, so am I. I know things are probably gonna keep being bad, but... I'm hoping the absolute worst is over, you know?

[neverheardofhim]

Exactly. And no matter what happens -- memories, murders, or something else entirely -- we'll get through it together. All of us.
