Reforge

And, just as quickly, it’s gone.

Great! Good! You’re glad!

You hadn’t- you mean, it’s not like you’d been angsting over the no memories exactly but- that doesn’t mean that this isn’t- you just- it’s like when a word is just on the tip of your tongue except it’s the most important person in the world to you, full stop and you

just

CAN’T

REMEMBER

Fucking excellent! Guess you’ll just hang out here in the fucking void still knowing nothing until you utterly disassociate or whatever’s happening to you! SOUNDS DANDY!


??????: Hey!


??????: Hey you!
Oh. It’s that guy.
??????: Yeah, you! You’re gonna die- I mean, not exactly but that’s not important- if you stay out there!
??????: We’re gonna reel you in!


??????: Don’t worry too much about this!
??????: Okay! Bring him in!


There is a crash, and an apology.

Pastwhile,

Donna (You!) is (are) waiting on top of Teneogris’s outermost wall. The agents from Four Corners, apparently a pair of adventurers, are just outside your gate, far below. You came straight here from your vizier’s chambers to apprehend them for their blatant involvement in the conspiracy that’s put yourself and Aeron in danger, destroyed your home, and could wreak untold damage in your lands in the very near future. These people… killed your father. You will make them pay.

So how are you going to do this? They’ve come openly, allegedly seeking audience with your vizier. They probably think you don’t know the truth, and that’s assuming they even think you’re alive and didn’t plan for you to die in the initial summoning which of course they absolutely did, obviously.

Should you have them arrested on the spot as a show of force, then interrogate them immediately? That would at the very least be satisfying. Or should you welcome them openly and play along, seeing how they act when they think they’re undiscovered and perhaps getting a better sense of what their plan is, at the risk of giving them a chance to further it?

Also, and this sounds silly, you know, you’re objectively the most beautiful and intimidating person in the world, but should you make a direct appearance? When you concluded your meeting you’d planned on it, but, frankly, running for your life through the forest is not clean work and you haven’t had a chance to tidy up.

Will you strike now or lure them in? Will you show yourself or work from the shadows? And is there a way to make some time in all this to get a gods damn wash and change of clothes?
