[There's a couple false starts to this which are scribbled out.]

Has anybody seen Aim today? He didn't show up to work this morning and when I went over to his house, nobody was home. I asked at Wellspring too, but nobody seems to have seen him.

There hasn't been another group caught by the elevator, has there? I know it's been trapping people this past week, but I didn't think he was among those.

Aim, write back if you see this, okay?

I don't blame you. Still, the memories are important.

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

I'd look for alternate ways of getting them back.

He's on the guard now, right?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Maybe you'll get a memory crystal? You can just be stuck in have color-changing hair for a while.

Yep!

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

Those come up randomly...yes?

It's better than having memories shared.

Okay! They've probably met then, since she is too

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. They pop up from who-knows-where.

Yeah.

Make sense to me that they've met. But apparently not talked...he still isn't big on that...

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

I just had a dream. No crystals yet.

Especially when there's someone trying to play my mind.

Ffft *pats him* she'll still poke him on the journals

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Ah well. I'm sure you'll find one sooner or later.

What?

He can get used to that.

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

Ever have someone try to read your mind? Some guy tried to do that.

Ping for telepathic turtle, go FFV

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, that doesn't sound like fun. Why did he do that?

Sadl,y I've got no clue. /stabbed. I'm FFVII and vaguely familiar w/VI, VIII, X, XIII, and Dissidia

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

Apparently we knew each other from somewhere and he was searching for something. Me? Someone else? It'd be helpful if I could remember

[ Jab at the Tree. ]

It's okay, hardly anyone knows it. XD But there is a telepathic talking turtle who mindcalls Cara.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I hope you remember what you knew about each other, then. It sounds pretty important. Kinda rude to just try and peer in your head, though.

ty!

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Before I end up dead.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

...You think he'll try to kill you?

sorry if late. LJ's being funny and some links are coming up as dead when they AREN'T. /pokes LJ

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

The gut feeling. Not now, but maybe if the right memories come back

[Pause.]

maybe then.

Yeah, it's been weird for me too /kicks it

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Then be careful, okay? Who is it?

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not say on the journals.

[ooc: log? He needs to log with more people, anyway...]

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Okay. I can meet you somewhere if you want.

[ooc: Sure! Quicklog or full log?]

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

Your place at the Bazaar. Sound good?

[ ooc: Hmm...quicklog, then. ]

QUICKLOG

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll be right there.

[And Cara heads down there--armed with a shortsword, but that's just habit of being a Final Fantasy character not wanting to get caught short if the Sphere spawns monsters.]

QUICKLOG

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

[He only takes a few minutes to grab his own sword and get to her place. ]

...hey. [ He tips his head in acknowledgment. ]

QUICKLOG

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Hey there.

[She smiles very briefly as a greeting before unlocking the stall and going in, turning on the light. The look on her face is definitely one of concern. She doesn't know Legacy overly well, but he's a fellow Guard and she doesn't like the thought of anybody getting offed besides.]

Who were you talking about on the journal--howcome you think he'll try to kill you?

QUICKLOG

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

[ He follows her inside. Once they're in, he glances from her, to the floor, and around the stall. ]

Eternity. As for why... [ He reaches up to mess with his hair. ] His...attitude. The overall murderous atmosphere. The way he condescends. [ A frown as he thinks. ] I try not to judge on first impressions, but something tells me we've met before, and we weren't friends.

QUICKLOG

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

[Eternity? She's met him before--hugged him, actually, thanks to mistletoe, and he had a sword repaired at the stall. But she's seen him behave very oddly towards Paladin on the journal.]

I've met him a couple of times, months ago--he didn't seem murderous to me, but I didn't speak to him for very long. He doesn't act very nicely towards his brother, I know that.

[She leans against the counter, pensive as well.]

But it sounds like a pretty strong feeling to call it that, and if you think you've met him before... you should trust it, I think.

QUICKLOG

[memoriesclouded.livejournal.com]

Probably he won't be unless he has a purpose--maybe we had grudges in some other time.

[ If only his mind weren't drawing a blank. ]

His eyes are like mine...[ Murmurs to himself. ]

QUICKLOG

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

All right... then, be careful and try to stay away from him at least.

[Cara fiddles with the end of her ponytail, wondering what to do about this. She has banned people from the shop before on the basis of things remembered--Black is on that list because Rogue revealed his memory of murder on the fourth floor. But there's a difference between an explicit memory and a feeling.

She'll talk to Bastet and Stoneface about it and see how they feel... if he was around, she'd ask Aim too, but obviously that isn't possible right now.]

...Eyes? [That sounds like what he said; it was kind of quiet. She looks up at them.] You mean the way they kind of glow blue like that?
