Memory Cave

[voidtreckermods]

After the passengers see a glimpse of a life that is not their own they appear in a cave. It is light, a strange moss glowing on the walls and ceiling illuminates the cave nicely and it is large enough for them to pace around in without trouble.

They are not alone. In the cave with them is another voidtrecker. Maybe someone they know well, maybe someone they have only seen in the aisles of the train. But they are together in this cave together.

The cave has no exit, at least not yet. They know that it will, eventually. When the time is right.

But for that time to come, they first must talk...

(OOC: For reference: memories!)

Rapunzel paused for a moment shaking her head briefly before looking over.

"Uh yeah... I was very open about my hair doing that before it was cut. It doesn't now." But she soon looked around, still a little bit confused.

"Do you understand what is going on? What I am seeing?"

[marriedanidiot]

Nerdanel tips her head and hums.

"Ah, so... it changed color when you cut it?"

She shakes her head. "I can only assume this is some strange ritual of the island, perhaps? I do not normally wander around through folk's memories! It's considered terribly rude to do so without express permission, and in truth, I am not skilled enough for such things normally. Are ... you seeing things too?"

[adropofsunlight]

"That's right, it went to this color which I assume is my natural color." And she still doesn't question her mother not necessarily being her mother, but then again she always knew of the brunette part.

She slowly nodded her head briefly, still confused about the things she was actually seeing though.

"It's always possible, but I don't get the purpose of it and yes I saw something before I found myself here"

[marriedanidiot]

Nerdanel frowns thoughtfully.

"I do not see the point either, myself. Was there something about that memory that was significant to you, perhaps? And do you recall what you saw yourself?"

[adropofsunlight]

"Um, if I recall there was a child and something about holding them." She could go into detail or she thinks she should if that might help, but she also knew this was probably another memory, so she might already know from that what it was.

[marriedanidiot]

"I had seven, so it sounds like one of my memories again." Nerdanel hums. "Black or red hair?"

[adropofsunlight]

"Oh, that I know. Red." That much she knew for certain. "I assume that depends on which child, right?"

[marriedanidiot]

"Then either my eldest, Maitimo - Maedhros, if you were here when he was - or my youngest twins, the Ambarussar." She nods. "They were they only of my sons to have my hair, although all of them had more red than my brown!"

[adropofsunlight]

"I can at least say it was just one child, so that kind of narrowed it down a bit." Because she was sure they were talking about one child anyway.

[marriedanidiot]

"Probably my eldest then." She nods. "I wonder why that memory in particular?"

[adropofsunlight]

"I don't know. I mean showing memories, in general, doesn't make sense. Like why do they need to be shown unless they want us to maybe learning something or perhaps get us to understand one another, maybe." It was a lot to think about really.

[marriedanidiot]

Nerdanel nods.

"Hm. Considering we have had a ... well, we've shared dreams before, perhaps it is to understand each other? Although really, tis quite a rude way to force it."

[adropofsunlight]

"Always possible, but why does it seem like a one on one kind of thing. Why in such a way?" She did somewhat agree that it was rude as well. "It is rude to force it though, especially if they show something people might not want to have seen,"

[marriedanidiot]

"Agreed - I've no real problems with the memories that have been shown on my side, but equally, neither have been particularly sensitive ones... And neither yours nor mine seem to have a common theme. Why, they're vastly disparate in time! As the one with Earwen was... mm, the last time I saw Earwen was shortly before I came here, in fact. And I have not seen any of my sons in several hundred years, let alone held them."

[adropofsunlight]

"So there is no theme to what memories are shown either. But it seems like the first memory had one thing in common and that is the fact it was close to the point before we came here... Maybe, I'm not certain on that one."

[marriedanidiot]

"Oh! Was yours as well? That might be one, yes. Let me think....I am not sure what relevance the second has. Was it a birth? If so....that was...why, millenia ago!"

[adropofsunlight]

"I mean if the first memory you got of mine had certain people in it, it would have been very shortly before I arrived here." She was mostly talking about Flynn for the most part.

"I don't know much about the second one. The only thing you mentioned about mine was that my hair healed...That could be any number of times I've used it in the past for Mother. Though I have used it on Pascal at least once."

[marriedanidiot]

"I only remember a young man tied up." She smiles. "Was that the one you were thinking of?"

She hums thoughtfully. "Who is Pascal? It was a small lizard ... a chameleon, I think."

[adropofsunlight]

"That's right. He is named Flynn Rider. At least that was what he told me." At the mention of Pascal Rapunzel suddenly realized he waasn't actually around, so she spun around to try and see if he was there before looking back.

"Chameleon is correct. He's my best friend. Until here he was my only friend to."

[marriedanidiot]

She considers. "Was it a first meeting then? If it was a birth, that might also be considered a first meeting for me, as well."

[adropofsunlight]

"It depends on what the memory you saw of me was exactly. It's always possible depending on what memory it was." Though given what she said she could at least give a guess.

[marriedanidiot]

"Hm. So we have, as a theme, perhaps our most recent memory before coming here and... possibly a first meeting of someone important to us. It certainly seems a good way to get us to know each other, but beyond that... I do not know. Were you able to find any clues?"

[adropofsunlight]

She shook her head slightly. She didn't think to even look for clues, but looking around she didn't see anything that would help them solve the problem.

"I can't say I saw any clues."

[marriedanidiot]

"I suppose it was too much to hope it would be easy!" She sighs and then smiles.

"Well, I suppose we have the beginnings of a theme, at least. I hope that will be the end of it, but who knows?"

[adropofsunlight]

"I think this will last until we leave, maybe? Which... Isn't that fun, but maybe we'll figure more out then." Maybe even more if there is a theme for a reason why each of them was picked to see each others memories.

But soon she turned her head and noticed something.

"Were the doors there before?"
