UNTITLED
Please complete these quests. If you do, there may be a reward awaiting you.
Once upon a time, there lived a young man in an azure district. While his family wanted for nothing in terms of wealth, the man's heart sought one most felt was beyond his reach. His heart's desire was a poor but comely man who hailed from the crimson district, and his beauty had already drawn several suitors from that same district to his side in the hopes of claiming his heart for their own.
The young man despaired, for he knew to approach his love whilst hailing from another color would be a fruitless effort indeed. Thankfully there was another, a true friend, a young woman of the brighter, sunnier district, who was there to offer her assistance.
no subject
[Eliot pauses. He would really rather not have to talk about the 'other him,' unless his hand is forced... Which makes him wonder if his split personality is a more painful memory.
For the sake of completing the task, maybe he ought to try being open.]
I have a split personality of sorts, you see. There are things I don't want to remember, so I'm in the habit of forgetting.
And my goodness. What an unfortunate way to bond with one's parents.
I hope it was not all you spent time doing together.
no subject
[She actually does know people with split personalities. (As well as one person who was a combination of an entire group of Espers.) It's nothing too strange, she thinks. Besides, all those split personalities had been the cause of some traumatic event. SO. Best not to pry this time maybe.]
forgetting or just suppressing?
and it's not
the worst way to bond i guess
we're all busy and back when i was a kid we didn't spend a lot of time together
besides i offered?
i think he'd rather i do something else to be honest
no subject
It's very difficult for him to respond.]
Suppressed.
And I could imagine not! Is it not traumatic?
Or troubling, at the very least?
Is it dangerous?
no subject
it can't be helped
when i was a kid they didn't really know what to do with me and they were really stressed about it
various things happened
someone offered to give me a place
and that's just how it ended up
[But it had been hard. She had been five years old and put suddenly in a boarding kindergarten where her caretakers were afraid of her. Even now she wonders if her family would have been happier if she had just been born Normal.]
i just investigate cold cases and i don't have to go anywhere to do it usually
my dad is more worried about it being dangerous than even i am i guess
no subject
My apologies. I'm not sure if it is a painful memory, but it sounds sad none the less. I apologize for bringing it up.
The investigation of cold cases must require a tremendous wit, though.
I imagine your father must be proud of you for growing into such an intellectual young adult.
Also. Why did you "think as much?"
is it obvious
what am i doing wrong
no subject
if i didn't want to talk about it then i wouldn't have
besides i guess we're supposed to share memories anyway
so count that as me sharing mine
i think my father is proud because he dotes way too much actually
[Besides, she's not sure psychometry counts as "wit"...]
no
i know someone else who also had split personalities
there was a lot she kept to herself back then too
you're not doing anything wrong
no subject
The sentiment is there and I don't know how to delete messages, so. Apologies.
I see. Yes, I guess it is a lot of keeping things to myself
and from myself.
I worry I have other painful memories I'm hiding from myself and this will be for nothing
but the other personality comes at an annoying cost.
Still, I am fortunate. It must be very hard for others to live while knowing what their most painful memory is, at all times. I don't think I could handle that.
no subject
really
it's not like i go around reading my old messages in the first place
and if anyone weird is going around reading them i wasn't specific either so it's fine
that's a normal worry to have when you can't remember
besides while it may be hard for people who can remember
it's hard for you too in other ways
no subject
Most people tell me I have it easy
I wonder why we've been tasked with sharing painful memories? This place is so strange with its requests.
no subject
people say lots of things
that doesn't always mean they're right
i think they want us to get along or something?
or just to watch us suffer
who knows
no subject
At least, I hope they're different. Getting along should never be suffering? Ideally?
I wish I could tell if we had completed the mission just through this conversation. I can't think of anything more to say, unless I got into the gruesome details.
Those are... perhaps, unfair to unload on you.
no subject
It's only unfair if they're not as gruesome as you're making them sound
But only if you want to tell the story
And have any nosy person read it
no subject
I suppose I had best try. This is a mission, so...
Well. Actually! I don't remember the details. I was in so much pain that I can't recall the specifics.
I kind of remember they drank a lot of my blood, though. At least it didn't go to waste?
... actually, i hate that.
no subject
Huh
That's not really gruesome detail but I guess it's acceptable
It's kind of normal to hate it when you lose that much blood I think
no subject
I imagine my memories must be hazy because of how light headed it all made me feel.
Though, they needed me to be conscious enough to want to be a vampire. I believe they were snapping my bones when I decided to go for it.
I think I've relived that experience enough. I'm feeling nauseated. I apologize for troubling you for so long.
no subject
Jerks
It’s fine
If you’re feeling nauseated then you don’t have to talk about it anymore
And don’t apologize
no subject
But thank you. I think, perhaps,
i may go lay down.
Unless you need something? Is there something you feel you should share?
no subject
So you're welcome
Take care of yourself first and then go worry about other people
I already shared that bit about my past earlier
Unless you want more details on how I was a terrible kid who was a burden on my parents, lied to them constantly to make them feel better and gave my mother a nervous breakdown
no subject
As for that,
I've no idea if that is normal behavior for a child. Surely your troublesome behavior was well-intended or accidental?
no subject
and that's that
and no that's not normal behavior at five
but i don't think i was what you would call normal anyway
