Who: anyone
Broadcast: video, fleet-wide
Action: First Breath
When: now!

[ The broadcast is short and to-the-point. Nova's not really one for belaboring something, but she's also bored and curious. For those who have met her before, she looks a little more well-rested than she has lately, her long hair in a neat braid ]

I know there are some people from Aather here, but I'm curious—I mean, if you want to talk about it—has anyone else had their memory... messed with? Taken away and given back? I guess you wouldn't know if it had just been taken away... Or, I don't know.

If you haven't had something like that, do you ever just get new information? I don't think I'm explaining this right.

[ she looks mildly annoyed and ends the video ]

[Well, that's relevant to her interests.]

My teammate who was here before, Lark, said when she arrived, she got some of her memories back that she never regained at the castle. Do you mean like that?

[takeabow]

Yeah, like that.

But that didn't happen to you?

[experiencepoints]

No. I wish.

I'd been there a lot longer than she had, though, so I had a lot more memories back to begin with.

[ Chinhands. He'd probably read the responses later (not that he needs to) though he's curious that Nova has put such a query forward. He's avoided any mention of his memory loss save with Kitty and that's only because she asked the right questions. ]

There are quite a few of "us", though the other realms I heard of don't seem to have the foresight of Aather.

[takeabow]

Foresight how?

[precedented]

The Personae's stories were all connected, linked. From what I've, ah, noticed about the others, they seem to be more disjointed.

[kill_switch]

[This is definitely new. Furiosa listens to it a couple times through to make sure she heard everything right, but even then she's not sure she understands the context. Losing memories? Gaining new information?]

Nova, what are you talking about?

[Have you gone mad?]

[takeabow]

[ she is definitely feeling judged, and regretting putting the query forward but. oh well ]

It's complicated. You know how you got new skills with the augments? Like that, but with memories.

[kill_switch]

[She's not judging, just confused by the idea of it. At least Nova's description helps her understand a little better.]

These are memories of things that actually happened to you?

[pneumo]

Mine was taken away, sort of. But it hasn't come back or anything!

[takeabow]

Can you tell me more? How was it sort of taken away?

[pneumo]

Well...it's supposed to be normal for what happened--I got bitten. And died a little.

video.

[theroadwarrior]

[Max isn't usually on these unless it's for personal gain —

But this does pique his curiosity. It's an important sort of topic, the one regarding memories. If they're lost or not. He stops from his routine pacing around the Starstruck (poor guy does horribly once the ships are in motion, taking things apart, putting them back together, trying to find some kind of focus — )]

Hasn't happened to me. But.

[He wags a hand lazily around the ship. Motioning to imply the whole Fleet, really.]

I know some who can't remember me here. Can't remember other worlds.

Could have had their memories erased.

[takeabow]

Yeah, because how would they know? That happened to me, though. Not remembering someone who knows me. Not remembering the place where we were supposed to be together.

[theroadwarrior]

Maybe you haven't been there yet.

[He says it casually, as if discussing what to have for dinner.]

Maybe they've already gone. N'you haven't.

video (... also let me know if recognizing her from another game is cool! it's all good!)

[throwsdown]

[.... Uh....

This is a conundrum, Takeshi thinks. Because he knows — he knowed Katniss. From the Tranquility, he knowed her. He also knew Prim, for a short time. She was such a nice girl... always so nice to him, back when he was much more afraid and much easier to scare.

He doesn't want to worry her, though...]

What kinda stuff did you get taked away?

There was always lots of memory problems, where I was before. But that's 'cus the ship was bad. It wasn't like the ships here.

it's all good!

[takeabow]

Well, everything for awhile. And then I got to earn them back bit by bit.

[ what is a little kid even doing here? ]

What kind of ship was it?

[throwsdown]

It was, um... It was a big ship! It was called the Tranquility. I always had a real hard time trying to say that, but now I'm real good at it. [He stops and considers what to say. Hard, for someone his age, because the 'right things' are impossible to completely know.] It was a bad place. It had... monsters, and someone who wanted to hurt us. 'Cus he thought he was stronger and better. I tried to fight him, once. With my friends.

[ladybro]

Not personally. [ but it's not like that's such a rarity where she comes from. ] Did something happen?

[takeabow]

[ she has regrets over making this video. she naïvely didn't think about the amount of questions she'd have to answer. good move, nova ]

Uh, not recently, no. But I was somewhere else before I was here and it was kind of a... thing, there.

[ladybro]

Sounds messy.

Video

[grandstanding]

[He can't help but think she looks familiar in a way. But it's the question she asks that has his attention. ]

I've had them taken away. Twice. Though 'taken' isn't entirely accurate for the second time.

Re: Video

[takeabow]

...What would be more accurate for the second time?

[ she's serious and curious ]

video; sorry this is late!

[frigidaire]

I haven't, but my friends have. Just suddenly know things from back home -- it's really weird. Happen to you or something?

[ he shrugs, looking half asleep honestly. he likes napping, okay. ]

<3 <3 <3 it's right on time!!!

[takeabow]

Yeah. Before here, I was at a place that took all my memories. I'm still getting them back, randomly. I know Stiles is too. I wanted to see if it was happening to other people.

So... not for you? No... new stuff?

[ she's a little envious tbh. she should sleep more ]
