No, it does not! And yet he acts as if he has the higher philosophical standpoint--

[he grumbles, reaching up to rub at his face.]

If I remember this I will move to have him immediately removed from his position.

[skyagain]

Probably a good start. [ he tilts his head ] How's this memory loss thing work, anyway? Guessing you can't just write yourself a note?

[ktiseos]

It is unlikely. There is simply no time-- nor a way to do it without him noticing it, I should think. Encapsulating the memory within crystal rather than writing it would require focus as well as the material.

...someone here offered to remind me, after. But there is never a guarantee we shall meet again.

[skyagain]

... Can't you write it down now and just carry it in your pocket? We got to bring back some stuff from the Realm.

[ktiseos]

...mm. It may be worth the attempt, in the event that such a thing is possible.

[skyagain]

Desperate times, desperate measures. I'd talk about tattooing it on yourself if that was an option.

[ktiseos]

[that gets a hint of amusement in his tone, at least.]

I can only imagine how strange the result of that would be.

[skyagain]

Definitely be hard to forget, but you might be wondering more about who'd do that than what it means. Kind of a mixed bag, there.

[ this is helping ]

[ktiseos]

That is the other part of the equation-- how to ensure I would believe such a thing.

[skyagain]

Yeah. Your own handwriting or voice is one thing, but it gets dicey after that.

[ktiseos]

And handwriting may be falsified.

...still. I think attempting to bring myself a message may be worthwhile, if it might work.

[skyagain]

For what it's worth, I hope you figure a way to make it work.

[ktiseos]

May this unknown future of yours turn out as you hope it will, as well.

[skyagain]

Thanks. Guess we'll both see how things turn out when we get out of here.

[ktiseos]

Presuming that we do, then-- yes. I suppose we shall.

[skyagain]

I'm not taking anything else as a possibility.

[ he is running on spite and stubbornness. ]

[ktiseos]

Well, you may be in the best position of us to do so.

[local man doesn't stay dead...]

[skyagain]

Only good thing that weekend gave me.

[ the position to be EXTREMELY VENGEFULLY SPITEFUL!! while i can never die ]

[ktiseos]

Did you ever determine what in the world happened?

[skyagain]

Nothing. Closest I got from the staff was that I shouldn't expect it to happen again, or for anyone else.

[ktiseos]

...unsurprising, I suppose. There'd be little point to encouraging us to kill if it were too easy to save others.

[skyagain]

Yeah. They kept trying to get me to think it couldn't have been someone else lucking into it, but... Only other option is Nightman deciding to bring me back. Somehow, I don't see that happening.

[ktiseos]

Nor I, unless it served a greater purpose overall. I am more inclined to think you are correct.

[skyagain]

Whatever or whoever it was, I guess they can't speak up. Haven't heard a word about it since.

[ktiseos]

It is a possibility that they do not wish you to know, but-- more likely they would be unable to speak. I do not see why it would be kept from you otherwise.
