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! ))

Story of my life, in these memories I keep ending up with.

[ So much time spent making choices that, while they worked out, even then... she'd never been good at being decisive, certainly not before this crazy week back in Arcadia Bay. ]

She said... she said spending the day with me was the happiest she's been in a long time. And that she wanted that to be... to be her last memory. So yeah, I... I think so.

Yeah.

[He sounds a little tired.]

The consequences of those scenarios are... painful. Sometimes.

[But that's not the point here.]

Maybe that's what you need to focus on. That she was happy and got what she wanted from it, if that's what helps you. [It sounds a bit selfish though. Putting that responsibility on someone else's shoulders to get what you wanted. Chloe didn't have to carry that weight once she'd died. Max did.]

Have I asked you about Chloe before? What kind of person she ... was? Is?

[Time travel.]

[helladoptera]

[ Max nods. It's the best comfort she has, in all of this. ]

Is. My last memory was... after this one. I reset the timeline back to normal, stopped myself from saving William.

[ She smiles a little, quiet. ]

She's my best friend. She's... really cool, and way more rebellious than me. But she's not a bad person, she's... great. I miss her a lot.

[empathiser]

That's a good motivator, to try and stay alive. To get back see someone you miss.

[But the way she speaks about Chloe is so soft and warm. It's obvious that she's someone important to Max from the crisis she was having over what had happened in that alternate timeline, and from the smile on her face.]

If you're ever feeling like you need something to remind you why you need to keep going.

[helladoptera]

[ Max nods. ]

I need to get back to her, there's... I have to find my way home. For a lot of reasons, but mostly for her.

[empathiser]

Then make sure you do.

She'd probably be unimpressed if you ended up stuck in space for the next few years, yeah? So. There's your goal.
