[ 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. ]

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?

[matchbreaker]

Oh wait no I got it now.

[ Her people, sheesh... ]

There's been a few responses here? you can read them yourself

[livingimpaired]

Oh good.

And I could, but is there anything wrong with asking you?

[matchbreaker]

Guess not?

I found a few people

[livingimpaired]

That is good to hear.

Also, the reason why I asked you instead of looked is because you can think of if you have or have not yourself, too. This post is mostly for yourself, is it not? So if you found what you were looking for, I can tell you simply and honestly: Congratulations.

[matchbreaker]

[ To be honest, she's only barely sure what she's looking for. But yeah. she's not entirely alone in this.

... Actually. ]

Do you have a sense for if the man in your memories is older or younger than you, in the bulk of what you've gotten?

[livingimpaired]

For right now, I'd say we're about the same age.
I've only received a few memories.
Some were in his twenties.
Some were at an age I'd say is close to mine.
His skills and sharpness is far beyond my own, however.
It's a little humbling, honestly.

Why?

[matchbreaker]

A realization I had a while ago, I guess?

A the memories I've gotten concentrate on two main ages and while one's younger than me, one's much older than me. These are the whole lives of people, right? So there could be more to it and some people might be older or younger than they are here.
