Memory Cave

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!)

You ask that about the oddities if so... That was also normal for me in general... Monsters being a thing not where they came out of.

[Ah, crap. He now regrets asking if they should talk about what they saw and that brought them here. he thought it would help and now he realized what memory it was. If Lenalee ever came here she would be maaaaaaad. But for him... he just remembered why he was leaving, to that his friends couldn't get hurt. It was the best choice even if it meant he was considered a traitor now.

With a slightly awkward laugh he looked to the side.]

Out of all my memories, it had to be that... I mean... [They could have shown much worse but still. I was leaving home for a reason and I was content about that at least. As for you, I at least recognized one of the guys... Duo was it? And exploding giant...things.

I see. We don't have creatures like that. We have mobile suits.

[He could see that the memory was not necessarily the best one and he felt bad now for bringing it up, but he also knew that if they had to talk about the memories, he was going to have had to say it]

Oh... well, at least you were content about it even if it was not an easy decision. Duo, yes! He's my teammate from home.

[The second part gives him a pause. Exploding giant things...]

Did it seem like a good memory? It might have been when we were finally able to destroy our Gundams.

It seems like that, yes. It didn't come at all negative to me.

[He felt like he would at least be able to tell that much, so they had a positive memory and one where Allen was pretty much content in his choices and leaving, which for most would come across as a negative, but in Allen's mind it could fall under the positive if people knew the full context, but that was not something he could really explain, nor did he want to.]

I mean they did seem pretty destroyed.

Oh yes, that was certainly when we destroyed them at the end of the fighting. It was bittersweet but ultimately good.

[He was silent for a moment as he glanced around the cave]

I don't think that was enough.

[He frowned slightly. That wasn't enough? He wasn't quite sure how that wasn't enough, he was at least talking about it after all.]

What does this cave want then? I mean we talked a bit? maybe we are meant to do more? But what?

[Maybe they were meant to talk a bit more about the memories? But he didn't know what else they would need to talk about.]

Nothing has happened so I would assume that wasn't enough. I'm not sure what else we are supposed to say.

[He moved to lean against one wall, putting one had to his chin as he thought]

I'm not sure either, honestly. Like...I assume we are meant to talk more, but at the same time what exactly are we meant to talk about...I thought explaining how we felt would have been enough.

[Esepcially since for him that wasn't exactly the easiest thing honestly.]

Yeah, I'm not sure what more to say. I don't think there is much more about mine at least. I mean I could try to talk more about it.

I could talk more about mine, maybe why I left but... That's the only thing I'd not want to talk about. I know my friends aren't here and the reason is sort to do with them, but still it's also hard to explain to someone who wouldn't know what I was talking about either.

No, I understand completely. I don't really want to make you talk about something that you don't want to. We may not have to... but it's difficult to be trapped with no idea what the answer is to get out of it.

And they give us no hints as to how to do it.

[And Allen is really not that smart to just figure it out quickly how to do the thing. He soon looked around again, trying to figure out the puzzle but still couldn't figure it out.]

Maybe we're trapped here forever.

Probably not forever. There's probably some way out. Besides, we have to be able to get back to the train at some point.

Well... I can say that the first for me was probably not long after I arrived on the train. Is that the same for you? Maybe that's a recent event.

Yeah, it really wasn't that long from that memory before I actually found myself here. Nothing had been going on for once, so I was taking a moment from my duties to do paperwork and things that needed to be done.

I kind of hope the place didn't go to crap because my friend and I left.

So maybe that's a theme of the first one. Not long before arriving. At least between us, it seems fairly mundane.

[He didn't consider business work particularly exciting and not worthy. At least it hadn't been him sitting behind a desk with a giant stack of paper as was known to happen]

I hope not either. I think the Maguanacs and my sisters would be able to manage in place, but more of us our here and we just finished fighting a war.

I like to believe Bulla could take over and deal with things. But at the same time as much as she was capable she couldn't do that type of work all by herself.

[Considering it was protecting a whole city and all. But he soon turned his head slightly.]

I thought something happened there.

I understand completely. I probably take too much on myself that I shouldn't do the work I do by myself. At least that's what others tell me. I wouldn't really to inflict it upon my family.

[He blinked in surprise]

Something... with the cave?

That's what I get told too, to be fair. Can't do everything by myself and I do take their opinions to mind, but at the same time sometimes you just have to.

[He was soon back to focusing on the one in front.]

I thought I saw a door or at least something appeared anyway.

Yes, I understand completely. You have to do what needs to be done, even if it requires taking on too much.

Really? Shall we check it out and see if there is one?

Exactly. Even if it is rather dangerous.

[He nodded slightly as he went to take a better look around at the place they were in. Seems very basic, but he did in fact see something, or at least two somethings anyway.]

Do you think it's a way out and why two?

[It seemed like they both had the same issues in their life. Taking on a lot and dealing with it as it came.

Quatre followed him in that direction as well]

I guess it might be? Maybe one for each of us?

Maybe. This whole thing just seems odd though.

[Just in general, the purpose behind it the way it seems to work. This cave and the fact that until now there was no way out, but tnow there were two doors. What does it all mean?]

But at least we can go now. So that's great.

It does. It doesn't seem to be random if its the memories from the same person.

[He was curious about all of this and would probably spend more time thinking about this later]

Yes, I think we should go.

[And he was going to start in the direction of the doors]
