[ I mean she's still out in Magatus but there's a thought which has sort of lingered in the back of her mind for a while now and as such more to clear her mind from thoughts of wolves and the thoughts of her own son (including of all things puns, why??? she's going to put out vaguepost in the form of: ]

So does anyone else have children in the memories they've been getting?

To answer my own question the woman I am in my memories has a son and then her son has three children as well.

[ So this tbh pretty young looking 41 year old is a grandmother in her memories but that's beside the point. ]

I believe I would have ended up more stressed.
See? You're already feeling better about being an anomaly.

At least you realize it.
But yes, since you've spoken well of him -- or at least well of how forward he is with everyone, I may attempt a chat or two.

[matchbreaker]

Go for it. If you learn anything new from him . . .

Well, I've got my work cut out for me fixing up an edit to the guide.

[livingimpaired]

That is right.
You are the one who wrote up the guide.
Thank you for doing so.
I had been linked it to a friend's daughter.
I must admit it is nice that you are keeping all that in line.

[matchbreaker]

I did, but it's meant to be open to anyone, so it can live beyond me if I were to get removed from the app.

You're welcome though!

But ideally, more people will end up writing different sections of it to collect more perspectives and knowledge together. I'm sure I've missed things, especially about August or God forbid this month's mess; what the other three groups are doing.

[livingimpaired]

Most wise.

I'm afraid I don't know much about what is going on with the other groups save that there is a fishing village and it is most likely doomed no matter what they do. But I suppose that is just me hoping that it is for a friend that found the place disturbing.

[matchbreaker]

Well I sure hope it's not doomed I've got a friend out there too.

But that's fine, people just should report when they do and if they have anything I've gotten wrong there rewrite things.

Obviously, even trying to understand *all* of this is above and beyond.

[livingimpaired]

Well, not in the way that people think of doom, anyway.

It is. But so long as an attempt is made, that's more than worth a few incorrect statements here and there. The big picture is that we're attempting to discover more about the situation that we are in so we can better know our world. Is that not so?

[matchbreaker]

Going back to hope, that is the hope.

[livingimpaired]

And what better reason is there?

[matchbreaker]

[ ... Hah. There's nothing to disagree with there, so she decides to leave it at that. ]

I hope the city remains safe until we're all back.

[livingimpaired]

I'm certain that it will be.
I don't believe anyone left behind will allow anything to happen.
It would destroy their pride as people.

[matchbreaker]

Is that what's on your mind?

[livingimpaired]

Could you elaborate on your question?

[matchbreaker]

Pride. Is pride what's motivating you now to help the city, or are you excluding yourself?

[livingimpaired]

Oh.
I am excluding myself, yes.
I have no pride.
That is an odd thing to admit to, but I am afraid I don't really have anything I could call pride.
What motivates me is that I live here and it would be troublesome if I didn't do anything.

[matchbreaker]

Well then as long as you're helping that's still fine! It's just interesting you'd push pride on other people.

[livingimpaired]

Is it?
Why?

[matchbreaker]

Just in this conversation alone you've been ascribing a lot to other people while accepting not very much on yourself.

Humanity functions because of the hope that holds society together.
The people of Recolle have a pride they need to maintain to keep the city in order for us out of it.

Seems to me plenty of people's motivations could be just as simple as not wanting their house to get lost in whatever chaos happens next.

... I have no idea what happened.

[livingimpaired]

Hm.
I am coming under the impression you may think I believe it is negative for them to have pride.
Is that right?

I am not offended. Just curious.

[matchbreaker]

Not really!

I'm just not sure people think that hard, I know I don't.

[livingimpaired]

Oh, I don't think they are thinking hard, at all.
No one seems to think that it is a tad inflated and unfair to believe they can save an entire city if something were to happen.
They believe in their capabilities and community -- have pride in both to believe that they will succeed.
I don't think much thought is going into it at all but I commend them at it and hope for the best.

[matchbreaker]

[ Still weird to put yourself on the outside but........... whatever seems fair. ]

Well, we'll be doing out best out here, so you guys do you best back there. Both of them are probably connected with the storm and whatnot.

[livingimpaired]

They may be.
All the same, "the best" is all we can do.

Anyway, have you found your people yet? Parents to those in other memories, I mean.

[matchbreaker]

What do you mean?

[livingimpaired]

Which part are you wanting clarification on?
