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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 ]

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

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

And handwriting may be falsified.

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

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

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

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

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

I'm not taking anything else as a possibility.

[ he is running on spite and stubbornness. ]

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

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

Only good thing that weekend gave me.

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

Did you ever determine what in the world happened?

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Right. Not like I'd go around telling everyone. Whatever happened... [ shakes his head ] Guess all I can do is be grateful.
