[VIDEO; LOCKED TO DANNY, KOUSUKE AND PALOM]

Okay, look. I gave that lab anemoi like they told me to. And I still don't understand how it works, but I guess I did remember a few things, and some of them were about those creatures. Unfortunately, even with everything I remember I don't... honestly know a lot about them. But I can give a few details here and there.

I don't... know why they exist. In my world. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it. But I guess I can't really deny they exist at this point.

You set us up. If you're trying to create new memories, congratulations, because I'm not going to forget that.

((OOC: 3% on the Onis, and some of the iconic moments in his own dealings with them that recur between game versions.))

*For everybody else, Hiroshi seems to have hit the library even harder now, and is reading just damn well everything he can about monsters and creatures. Well. That's a shift.*

I guess I noticed most of that. 'Cept I didn't really want to think about it too much.

So. [Palom pauses at this point.] What do they want? What are they for?

[allonisaretrue.livejournal.com]

...I don't know. I just... Maybe if I get more memories. Or something. Maybe it'll make more sense. But I'm not sure it did then, and I'm not sure it ever will. All I know is I ran into them, and I lived. Somehow. I don't remember a lot more than that.

It's... it's frustrating, you know! If I could just research them... if I could just make SENSE of them, maybe...

...You know how you don't believe in magic and things like that? I think that's kind of how I felt that night. Something like those monsters can't exist. It shouldn't exist. But it does.

Magic makes sense to me 'cause I understand the rules - it's not just random stuff happening like it probably looks like to you. You could understand it, too, if you really wanted to try. I feel like... no matter how much you know about those things... no matter how much you study. You won't ever understand the rules. I see that face in my dreams, and... it's not something I want to understand.

That's as may be, but... but I can't just leave it at that. I remember those things. I've met them before. They're tied into me, somehow, I can feel it. I can't just let that slide. I need to know. Know... something. Anything. Even if just to remember why I have to remember them in the first place. It's... important. I can feel it.

...

Don't go after 'em yourself, OK? If there's a lot... I don't even want to go out of the city myself anymore.

[allonisaretrue.livejournal.com]

That'd just be foolish. But... thanks.

I guess I should look into other ways of getting these gems.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Beg.

[allonisaretrue.livejournal.com]

...ways that don't require me COMPLETELY compromising what little dignity I have left.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? I do it all the time.

...You can take some jobs if you want. I --

[OH CRAP. Palom's face whitens briefly as he realizes he never did get around to smashing any bugs.]

Heeeeey! You know what? I've got the perfect chance for you to get more anemoi! Possibly. What do you think?

[allonisaretrue.livejournal.com]

Is that so? I guess I don't really have much better to do. What did you have in mind?

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Get some bug spray and meet me at the SuperSugarHappyFun Bakery or whatever it's called in 10 minutes-ish.

[allonisaretrue.livejournal.com]

Uh... okay?

*What.*

((I will throw up something tomorrow if you're interested in tagging. Nothing fancy, just smashing some giant cockroaches.))

((Fine with me. Could be fun. :V))
