Right, so. I've seen much and more about Retrospec sending out *weapons* through the post, but I think this might be a first. Whatever it is.

If anyone else out there has some idea of exactly what this is -- aside from the obvious "it's a helmet," thank you, already got that one figured out -- then I'd be glad to hear it, because I haven't got a clue.

Like a story...

[ That's certainly what he's thought of his visions so far: that it was purely the stuff of fiction, like something one might only see in a fantasy or sci-fi tale. But people — good people, no less... His memories have so far been entirely devoid of those.

He casts his gaze aside before Penelope can catch the doubt in his eyes, and shifts his weight from one leg to the other with the kind of awkwardness that isn't entirely befitting a man of his age. ]

I hope you're right. [ He hopes that world is better off than what his own memories would imply. ]

[There's a hitch in his words that does draw her attention, and the alraune catches it too. It's dancing stops and Penelope reaches up to tug the creature off her shoulders and into a hug like a doll. Not that, beyond heartbeat and being ambulatory, it was all that different from one.]

I know I am. It may be troubled, but I think I've seen enough to make that assertion. Knights and Pirates and other such things, a kind old lizard, and a boy. I...feel like he might be a prince.

A prince? [ That catches his attention more than the rest, and he looks back to Penelope with a quirked eyebrow. ] How fanciful. Perhaps you were a princess in that other world, to be keeping such company.

[ And also, he thinks, that might explain why she was a target for kidnapping in the first place. But he's going to keep that thought to himself for now. ]

[Penelope snorts a laugh at that, her head shaking sharply.]

No, I doubt that. The other people in my visions treat me more like an apprentice or squire or something, and I definitely got a feeling from the one lizard who wasn't kidnapping me that he was taking care of me.

I'm probably an orphan there too.
