[MEMORIES # 15, 16, 17, 18 (SIG NEU, TRIV POS, SIG NEU, SIG NEG) / SKILL # 4]
* Decanted.
[Game 173 – apples to apples - Cheshire | Day 224 | nonshareable (orange); TAKEN]
Being 'born,' or rather woken and extracted from the fluid where she was suspended; was a sci-fi test tube baby. Physically/mentally about nine or ten years old at the time of her birth, though she would continue to grow rapidly. Impressions of chill and a kind of environmental shock, experiencing air and dry ground for the first time. A lab. Scientists. Being dressed in a hospital gown. Everything unfamiliar, frightening, new, alien.
+ 50 temporary disorientation.
+ Confirmation that she was in fact never an ordinary human; this may unsettle her internally a bit.

* Domesticity, Night Lord style.
[Game 174 – champion/seeker - Eliza's Brother | Day 226 | shareable 0/3 (jasper feather; stick behind ear)]
Just . . . a pleasant dynamics memory from the point of view of young Seth, before the Night Lords were sent to head the Red Mars Project. Abel, Cain, Lilith; living together. Abel scares Seth; he is brusque and an extremely angry individual, though he's gentler with her than with others and does love Cain in his way and is fiercely possessive of Lilith. Cain is always nice but feels oddly more distanced from Seth on a personal level; she's a little scared of him too. Lilith is their lynchpin and the maternal figure of the household, and Seth adores her and tends to hide behind her.
+ fffffamily
+ Nostalgia.
+ OKAY SO . . . WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS . . .

* A Methuselah funeral on the Island of Beloved Children.
[Game 176 – poison-passing - Odile and Nimue | Day 228 | shareable 2/3 (vial and goblet; to be drunk)]
The description of Methuselah funerals from the manga (Astheroshe talking to Esther):
"This is the 'Island of Beloved Children.'" It's a place where we mourn for those who've passed away. We don't have a religion, unlike you, and we don't believe in souls. When we die, our body is buried here, and it decomposes and returns to the earth."
"No soul...then, why is everyone gathered here for a funeral?"
"Our funerals aren't held for the sake of the dead. They're for those still living, for the sake of their grief. We gather to remember the dead. Things are moving fast now . . . family, friends, even mere acquaintances . . . it's very painful to lose someone you love. But, as long as you're alive, you have to keep walking towards the future. So the people on the island tonight . . . they'll remember the one who's passed away. Then tomorrow, they'll go back to their regular tasks . . ."
The memory itself is from Seth's point of view; she attends as the Empress, veiled, and the funeral is for one of the nobles. She is sad, and contemplative; she endorses the Methuselah beliefs but wonders at the existence or nonexistence of the soul.
+ . . . mild existential angst!?
-
* Lilith defecting to the Terrans' side.
[Game 177 – trust - Unicorn | Day 229 | nonshareable (fake diamond half; break)]
In the middle of the Dark Ages War; the Night Lords have relocated to earth by the time of this memory, fighting and killing the remaining human population after Armageddon.
Lilith is about to board a shuttle to go to the Terran sector. Abel and Seth catch her and demand to know what she thinks she's doing; Cain is not present. Lilith condemns them and says they've become butchers and heartless monsters, and tells them that Terran don't all deserve to die. They're stunned by her pronouncement long enough that she gets the last few seconds she needs to activate things, and locks them out and absconds.
+ OH THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED
+ WHY
+ WHY
+ She'll conflate this with her other regained memories and realize her own point of view towards Terran must have softened, given a bit of time to absorb, but her kneejerk reaction will reflect the emotions in the memory: furious confused betrayed disgust.
-
* Weapons proficiency (knives.)
[Skill Game 32 - the elements of luck – Chance | Day 227]
+ Canon ability to use a variety of blades; is very good!
+ Can wield with either hand or dual wield.
+ Has a couple of smaller knives, but may consider questing for dual shortswords since they're the weapon she's most comfortable with; she's fonder of concealed weapons in Aather, though.
+ Can now wield Three's sword if she wants to I guess.
