Enough is enough. Who knows how long it's been in that place without a proper meeting. I propose we convene back at the base in Invidia. That'll keep the migraines and getting lost to a minimum, plus whoever the Authority is won't cotton on, I should hope.

[Invidia - Authority's Mansion]

[Wolfsbane is entirely fed up. After a few days in Avaritia (it's longer, but who knows in that place), she sends out the notification and sets up shop in the mansion back in Invidia; not too far a commute for anyone no matter where they are, and plenty of room besides. When the others arrive, she's sitting at the table, eating a plate of steak and lima bean salad. No, she didn't make any for you. Okay, those with good senses can probably smell that there's more in the kitchen, but given where they are, it seemed tacky to offer to share.]

I'm sure we've all at least come up with something by now investigating that tacky tourist trap. Share, will you?

(This is an open mingle log for everyone to share the fruits of their investigations! Have fun... or at least vent your frustrations at Avaritia's economy.)

Memetic shock has been pretty rough on people before... [Yes, she's invented a medical term for flipping out because you just got a difficult Memoria back.]

But you have no way of knowing what kind of memory it might be! For all we know, it could contain skills or information that turns out to be really useful here.

[phantasmagorial]

That's exactly what scares me, though. It could be anything.

[ I could be anything, is the sentence that almost follows but she manages to catch it before it comes out. She has to take a moment to compose herself before she continues. ]

I–I just... I want to know that everyone's okay for now before I go and find whatever it is.

[mementomoritz]

...Would it help if someone else saw the memory first, or is that worse? [What? She's already seen one of Rei's memories and so has Chiron, it's fine. Probably.]

If one of us touched the butterfly first, we could tell you what it was, so you'd be prepared when it eventually came back to you.

[ She gives Medic a familiar grim smile. ]

I really don't know. But... [ Another pause, to take a big shaky breath. ] Maybe running from it isn't setting such a good example.

[mementomoritz]

[Medic smiles back, and reaches out to hold her hand.]

Then... when you're ready, we can go with you.

[Whatever she does, she doesn't have to do it alone.]
