garregmach | (no subject)

A mist settles in over the monastery.

Is it morning? Night? Who can say? Today, the day feels endless. The sun is nowhere to be seen — or had it been at all? Instead, a curious green glow engulfs Garreg Mach, like an eternal twilight settling in. Time seems to be paused almost, though the wildlife in and around the area continues to act as though nothing is wrong. As though this is perfectly normal. As though it is natural for the skies to be dark, with not a single star in sight, and for the sun to be forgotten in the mist that lingers. The paths are at least lit by small orbs of light, fireflies flitting about.

However, should one come into contact with one of those fireflies, a memory of the past will be projected for all in the close vicinity to see. Joyous occasions, tragic events — they don't seem to discern one way or another. Perhaps it would be best to watch your step for now, though.

Of course, after lingering for about a day, the strange ambience will fade into what appears to be a normal night at Garreg Mach. It's as if nothing had happened at all. Did it? Or was it all simply a shared hallucination?

[ ● MEMSHARE POST. Coming into contact with the fireflies will share a memory of your character's with those around them. You can top-level with a memory to start out or have people tag you and determine it then, whatever. I don't make the rules (except I do and I say yolo). Have fun with it!

I am afraid I do not.

[ She shakes her head slowly once more, a frown crossing over her face. ]

It is quite vexing, to be frank.

That it is. There are far too many memories of mine that I would rather not subject people to. Though —

[Dimitri tilts his head, managing a small smile.]

I suppose if it is you, I do not mind terribly. We are raised to believe that the goddess is always watching. Whether that is true or not, I have had a lifetime to adjust to the thought of it.

Hmph. The same can be said of most people. Those who wish to relive the past should perhaps re-examine their priorities, quite frankly.

[ Which may sound odd coming from a ghost, but there they are.

She gives him a flat look before letting out a soft chuckle. ]

I cannot say if it is true or not, but I can say that I have little interest in peering in on time since passed in the lives of others.

[Ouch. She probably isn't meaning to take a jab at Dimitri with that first comment, but it feels like it anyway. Looking as if he just tasted something very bitter, Dimitri stares at the nearest wall.]

Is it so strange to long for times gone bye?
