[Text] From Late Night

[ 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. ]

[ 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.

[livingimpaired]

That's true.

We could very well see how we died.

[matchbreaker]

Yeah, that's a possibility. Maybe someone'll even see that whole world ending thing.

[livingimpaired]

The world ending -- that would be something.

[matchbreaker]

Something, that's for sure

[livingimpaired]

It is not a something I want to see, however.
I cannot even fathom it.
I cannot comprehend it.
I apologize for how dismissive I sounded as I reread what I wrote, but it is honestly something I cannot humor in my thoughts.
If someone sees such a sight in their memories, our efforts should be to care for them.

Would that be something you'd be interested in adding to your notes about this app?

[matchbreaker]

[ She has one already. A poor teenage girl who should never have had to deal with it. But there's no reason to be so public with it. She exhales and... ]

If the information should come to someone then... yes. There's a significance chance that risk could exist still, if all our souls are supposedly from dead worlds.

Not that I would wish that on anyone.

But if it was, then that ought to serve as a warning.

[livingimpaired]

A warning?
Perhaps, you misunderstand my intention.
I have no need to know the way the world ends.
I have no reason to know what it looks like.
I merely believe a person that sees may end up broken underneath the sight and should be looked after by others to ensure that they can return to the light.

[matchbreaker]

I agree that's the priority.

But I also think that should someone remember what Retrospec's supposedly been cleaning up after, we should try to know more.

[livingimpaired]

It is good that you agree on my thoughts.

But I disagree on the later.
What if they were just a bystander in the chaos?
What knowledge could they have?
Sometimes, the pursuit of knowledge is not worth it, Elda Marker.

[matchbreaker]

[ The pursuit of knowledge isn't... Mmmmmm ]

Something is better than nothing, if we're going to do anything about it.

[livingimpaired]

There is that pride talking.
Pride and very little thought.

My morals tell me to leave them be with what they know.

[matchbreaker]

Then you do that, there's no reason you shouldn't.

My moral say to respect what people want, and I would like them to choose to volunteer. You're right, it is thoughtlessly prideful for me to say something like "save the world," but . . .

My family's on this world.

[1/2]

[livingimpaired]

I understand.

You want to know so that you can protect your family.
You want to know so that you can use the abilities of everyone to keep them safe.
It's a wish born of the purest of intentions.
The wish of a mother that wants to see her children outlive her.
The wish to protect this world from what could destroy it with the knowledge of other worlds.

But your wish and your love for your family does not mean others should suffer.

[livingimpaired]

No one should feel they should volunteer.
It shouldn't even be asked of them.
Because what could they say to these honest feelings?
What person could say that they would wish to never think of it again in the face of such pure love for one's family?
They would think of their own family on this world.
If not them, then the people that matter to them.
Moral obligation.
Social obligation.
Or they are silent and they never tell anyone.
So no one knows that they can volunteer.
Then, what, Elda Marker? What happens to those people that you wanted the priority to be to watch over them?
