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!)

"A city," Joss corrects gently. "A very large city, in fact, on an island called Great Britain, on a planet called Earth. My home." As to the second question, he frowns, considering. "I...well, I suppose I wanted to show the adults how much power I really had. I'd made this army of kids who were thrown away by the grown ups, just as I had been, and we wanted to take control away from the people who had hurt us. I...I suppose that made me happy, back then. Getting revenge."

Now it just makes him feel empty. Especially with what happened next.

"I didn't get it, you know. Revenge. I did, however, control a part of London for about one hundred years before it was taken from me by force."

He brightens when she does. "That tart did look quite delicious. And it smelled lovely. In the memory I could tell how happy you were to get it. What...what do you do when you're on duty?"

Surely, she's still to young to...

"Revenge almost never works." She says, softly. "I've seen it destroy courtesans in the House." She doesn't like remembering the blood pouring out of Kilanka's belly, as Yrlana stood over her with a vibroknife in the hallway of the House. But the memory is there. And then Yrlana was dragged away by the guards.

"I'm sorry you lost your home." She knows what that feels like.

"On duty? I play the lute, sometimes accompany someone when they sing. I play games with the patrons. Cards, chess, all sorts of things." She looks at him, a smile twitching her lips. "Did you think I serviced them?"
