REGAINS
MEMORIES
starter • TRIV/NEU
Regained: Day 113!
Contents: From c. 57/p. 29 to c. 57/p. 36. Nobody is ever going to get this memory so I'm not gonna summarise!!
Effects: + Morbidity can be romantic too!
+ I don't know my name but I am definitely a harassing type AND ISN'T THAT ALL THAT MATTERS.
+ Basic knowledge of the Glen principle, and that Chains are connected to the Abyss.
+ Girls can be scary. . .
- 100 personal space, alone time, and the respect thereof
- 100 desire to leave other people alone
2 • TRIV/POS
Regained: Day 115 - Nafuna's game
Contents: The lights are burning late in a familiar window when Jack makes it to the estate, so he crawls up to visit! Oswald's sitting at his desk with a darkly controlled expression, and stiffly asks Jack to h. . . elp. . . him. . . with a problem:
Someone very dear to him gave him a mountain of grape tomatoes and he can't stand the thought of eating them.
Jack laughs! And explains that he knew already and he's already been told he can't help! SORRY, OSWALD. He waltzes out to visit Lacie while Oswald flies into a Baskerville rage and rations them all to his servants. ONE TOMATO PER PERSON, NO ESCAPE.
( For reference. )
Effects:
+ All names have been blurred out for the purpose of ~ amnesiagaming ~. The memory may also feel a little damaged: as if all sensations have been passed through a sieve, all sights seen through glass.
+ Stiff-lipped lordlings are super-fun to poke, rivaled only by stiff-lipped lordlings with creepy eyes. This is definitely the most important principle to remember!!
+ More background deductions: hung around with nobility, wore jewelry, clearly doing well in life.
+ TREE-CLIMBING IS A VALID WAY TO ENTER.
+ What girl was I visiting. . . ?
3 • TRIV/NEG
Regained: Day 120 - Cycles' game
Contents: Exactly what it says on the tin: Jack watches lordlings coming out of a gentleman's club late at night, makes a pick, and offers to to keep him company for a while! He's touchy and sincere and miraculously it works. It's more a position of being a pet than a pickup -- 'cos Fake Victorian Arrangements -- and a deal for a few evenings draws out to span a week or two. The memory ends before he can see any end to his. Position. In the household.
Overwhelmingly, the sensations that dominate this memory are uncertainty and intent -- just as he's not sure of what the hell he's doing, what he's making of himself, there's an equal conviction that he has no desire to look back.
( For reference. )
Effects:
+ The memory feels slightly damaged: as if all sensations have been passed through a sieve, all sights seen through glass -- though it's a little better than previous memories.
+ ............................ what.
+ ??????????
+ I guess my teammates are beasts. . . and murderers. . . whereas I was just some kind of cheap floozy in a past life?????
+ 100 kissing ability, etc
- 200 desire to kiss anybody without ulterior motive
4 • TRIV/NEU
Regained: Day 122 - Bone Witch's game
Contents: Once again, the tin don't lie! Isla Yura's a slimy foreign faux-cultist of a nobleman who's wrangled a bloody ritual to reenact the Tragedy of Sablier. In this memory, Jack vaguely registers his reasons for it all but doesn't pay attention to them. He walks forward (and are the steps smaller than he remembers?) as the chain retracts and Isla Yura falls into one of his gory circles.
The Abyss, Jack says, might have once been beautiful, but he sees it now as nothing more than a tomb.
Alice is the focal point of this memory, and nostalgia for an unseen Glen. More alienating still is the vague sense of distant awakening -- of detachment as he brings the sword down through Isla Yura's skull.
( For reference. )
Effects:
+ The memory may also feel a little damaged: as if all sensations have been passed through a sieve, all sights seen through glass.
+ maybe I've lost someone after all.
+ so that's I got the blooded sword. . .
+ 100 Hero of Sablier gravitas?!
+ 100 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
+ 1000 ABILITY TO COPE WITH VIOLENCE WITHOUT TRYING TO SMILE HIS WAY OUT OF IT, FUCK YEAH
