But still, he's not here to get roped into being my therapist. Writing it down's probably the best option. I'll just have to keep them all safe afterwards.
If I take it out of this place it won’t just vanish at the end of the week? I didn’t take anything out of the space location, other than my outfit so ...
[and he waves a hand at that, laugh turning sheepish]
The offer didn't stem from a desire to invade into your privacy - only to help. But so long as you feel assured in what you can do, then I'm perfectly happy for you!
I hope that it proves fruitful for you - I've been writing a few things down since we arrived, but it's a little disconcerting to see words that I know should mean something to me but... effectively don't.
[to which he sounds a little sheepish]
Though I suppose it helps in letting me know exactly what it is I've lost each week.
Like even if you can't read it just knowing it's there helps? [ she understands, woowoo. ]
I wanted to do that for my current memories, but when I was writing them down I realised I... don't really know what I've lost? They've either been so small that I can just look past them, or I've lost them so completely I don't even have an inkling something's missing.
While I can have a guess at other weeks... it's unclear for me what I lost just last week. It seems like everything's intact, and nothing's been brought to my attention of an odd missing space.
It seems like my notes weren't detailed enough, but it at least tells me that I need to be more detailed moving forward.
But a little memory loss is natural, isn't it? You tend to prioritise some events over others naturally, so little things can get lost along the way. Maybe your memory this week just wasn't as obvious as the others?
[ says alex, while i, becks, know that dana will have been picking memories like she's revving a motorbike to speed soo-won right off a trick ramp and into hell. ]
While that's possible... I'm not sure if this place is that kind. But I do like that way of thinking, so maybe I'll assume as much until proven otherwise.
It feels like we have a lot of those and not a lot of actual, proven correct knowledge yet, though. Both about how memory loss works and what's going on here.
Well... I haven't been able to get a better idea of the memory loss, unfortunately. Other than it seems that writing them down isn't entirely effective, considering that they don't suddenly conjure anything back, however it does work if you share your stories with someone. That someone will still remember them, even if you don't.
However nova can be generated in a few different ways. The primary ways are on Wednesdays, when those oddities seem to pop up, and Saturdays after trials. The strange adventures that you and I were caught up in also generate nova for that team. Nova can be attached to strong feelings, so there's also the belief that our bonds with the leaders as well as each other generate nova.
Finally, harming others can generate nova - but less than one might expect. Furthermore, during trials, we generate more nova if we correctly ascertain who committed the crime, and less if we get it wrong.
However thus far, unless Virid was on Wolf's team, they have not harmed anyone and yet maintain their lead. It's rather impressive. It may be that since Wolf is in the lead, more people from other teams are visiting him regardless, and that helps only add to his lead?
That's what I've been able to ascertain so far in the realm of nova generation and memory.
... Ah, that was actually something I was trying to puzzle out. What contributed the most to nova gathering. I knew what counted, but not how much. Although what about Saturdays after trial count towards nova gathering? [ she sounds less impressed ] Our emotional trauma?
The top of the list didn’t change that much. The biggest thing was Goat’s team jumping as high as they did. Does that mean both Wolf and Rabbit have been managing without committing murder?
[ ... ]
Did you want to share a memory with me? If it will mean someone remembers it even if you don’t.
[alex: i want info soo-won: what kind alex: idk any soo-won: just unloads literally fucking everything he has]
Mm... It may be our emotional trauma - but it may also be that voting itself contributes to it, from what I've heard. So it may just be that so many nova-generating events happen on one day, it makes them rather vital.
[if he had to take a guess?]
I'm unsure about that but... that would require me finding more than just one person on both Wolf and Rabbit's teams. And given the way that everything was weighted, we can't even be certain that Goat did commit murder since apparently that generates less nova than expected.
[so maybe goat just got really lucky with? votes??? cyoa????] I'd need more people's alignments in order to be truly sure...
[though the offer manages to get him to blink]
.... I suppose I could - though I wonder what memory to share.... Maybe something about my father...?

You could share it with Hansa, perhaps? If you feel more comfortable with him.
[they seemed close?]
no subject
I think he's already dealt with enough of me freaking out over this. It wouldn't be fair to pile more issues on him.

Mm, I understand. Maybe you can borrow one of the chests from the pirate ship and use it for your own needs.

[but - ]
But worth trying, no?
no subject
[ hm. ]
I will, but... now I’m worried it’ll disappear anyway and take my notes with it.
no subject
... that's true.
Definitely ask before you actually try.
no subject
Yes. Yes, don’t worry, I will.
no subject
Then I suppose that's one strategy, to ensure that none but you could get to them.
I wish I could offer more advice on how to guard them carefully... but I'm afraid memory theft is still a new enemy I haven't been sure how to battle.
no subject
I'll figure something out for these. But you'll understand if I don't tell you where I'm keeping them, right?
