[MEMORIES # 41-49 / SKILL # 10]
Nov. 27th, 2013 10:25 am* Meeting Abel on his way out of the questioning chambers. (trivial negative)
[Game 222 – CYOA – Merlin | Day 286 | nonshareable (cootie catcher; use)]
‘Questioning’ in this case actually means interrogation by hands-on torture; this memory is the peak definition for how Abel was as a young man and why Seth used to be afraid of him as a child, even though she also loved him dearly.
+ Taken.
* Working as a fortuneteller. (trivial positive)
[Game 226 – Dear Aather – Merlin | Day 290 | shareable 1/2 (ballpoint pen; uncap)]
Tarot, tea leaves, palm reading, crystal balls, and the fine art of sweet-talking customers.
+ Taken offscreen.
* Serving a noble wrongly suspected of treason. (trivial positive)
[Game 228 – kissing bets – Dorian Gray | Day 292 | nonshareable (chocolate lips in red foil; unwrap)]
( snip )
+ Taken offscreen.
* Activating Crusnik 80% to deal with a hardliner. Requesting a redesign of the Imperial wardrobe. (significant negative)
[Game 229 – Halloween costumes – Goldie | Day 293 | shareable 3/4 (sparkling pumpkin handmirror; view reflection)]
Somewhere around the middle of her reign; in which Seth is partially baited and partially provoked into gutting and entirely draining the blood of a particularly powerful and rebellious Methuselah noble, and that noble dies calling and thinking of her as a monster. She activates Crusnik at 80%, which summons her wings and destroys her dress; the redesign ensures that her future ceremonial clothing tends toward an open back to allow for them next time.
+ :/
+ Taken.
* “Looks like…I’m hated again. Heh…” (significant negative)
[Game 230 – Lambda’s heart – Dream | Day 294 | shareable 3/4 (bag of tiny ginger gears; eat)]
Manga link; goes to the next page. A (familiar, oft-experienced) moment of heartbreak; this has happened before, but it’s still hard to handle animals she has handled and who have trusted her their entire lives having that wiped away once they see her Crusnik mode. Genuine hurt, compounded by trying to take a little comfort in Abel's presence but Abel being unable to offer her what she's asking for.
+ Taken.
* Cain’s accident; saving his life with the discovered nanomachines. (significant neutral)
[Game 231 – Cry Wolf – Gingerbread Witch | Day ~295/296? | shareable ∞ (tiny clear bottle; fill & drink)]
( snip )
+ Seth might easily take this memory as ‘omg I was the cause of all the bad things I’m so terrible,’ but fortunately she is old and philosophical enough (and has regained enough of that aspect in Aather) to recognize that while she messed up severely, she was also doing the best she could do in a dire situation and couldn’t have foreseen all the crazy things that happened afterwards. So she’ll be upset but not, you know, wallowing in guilt.
+ Not taken.
* Confirmation that Cain lives; primer on the Rosenkreuz Orden. (significant negative)
[Game 235 – stat effect – Persephone | Day 299 | shareable 3/4 (chestnut; crack)]
( snip )
+ Taken offscreen.
* A Returner is killed; the Dark Ages War begins. (significant negative)
[Game 237 – lost and found things – Eliza’s brother | Day 300 | shareable 2/3 (small dented candle-lantern; light)]
Seeing and participating in the violent outrage among the Returners from Mars (the fact that the single Returner’s death is an accident is unclear and/or lost in the confusion somewhere); this eventually erupts into their making a return strike against the Terrans of Earth and pitching the situation irrevocably into full-blown war.
+ Taken.
* Nearly being exposed due to use of an automata double. (significant negative)
[Game 238 – two truths and a lie – Dormouse | Day 302 | nonshareable (2” dollhouse chair; try to sit on it)]
( snip )
+ Taken offscreen.
* Crusnik activation up to 80% + wings and the ability to draw Bacillus. (special)
[Skill Game 41 – Zombie Dice – Butterfly | Day 291 | nonshareable (nasturtium flower; eat)]
( snip )
+ Taken.
