Jema'grethy: Memory Cave

Passengers see a vision, an instance of someone's life, before just as suddenly - they find themselves inside 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're not alone. In the cave with them is another voidtrecker; maybe someone they know well, or maybe someone they've only seen in the aisles of the train. But they are together in this cave, and they will come to find out that it was one of their memories that the other witnessed. And them, one of yours.

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: Memories can be written either in this post or over here)

His eyes were leaking. She sighed. This was too common, she was used to it. But still she would expect more of someone who was an assassin.

"You could be starting over. No one do be knowing you here so you can be being whoever you do be wanting." Probably. She tilted her head. "So you can be doing whatever you do be wanting to be doing."

As hard as that was to choose.

"Is that what you're doing now?" Xie'er asked. He supposed he could learn more on healing and seeing what training there was that could be offered. It could be a way to help repent for what he's done in the past.

"I know alot about healing and would like to be able to use those skills here." He stated after a while. He didn't have a whole lot of purpose now. It had always been to serve Yifu and now he had no goal in mind.

"I do be guessing so." Starting over, changing. Becoming who she wanted. Though it was stupid and difficult and she didn't really know what she was doing.

"We do always be needing healing. People do be getting hurt a lot."

She sighed. "You would rather be doing that? Healing and no killing?"

She's almost disappointed.

"I would rather be fighting and using my art of poisoning. But I have a feeling that healing would be considered more acceptable." Xie'er replied.

He appeared to be more wistful at the thought of using his poisons again. However he would be willing to mold himself to what was acceptable if it allowed him to survive. Who said he still couldn't kill someone if he had to?

"Do you be knowing Xue Yang?"

She tilted her head. He might be a good person for him to meet, maybe they could help each other. Maybe they would make each other worse. They were very similar in many ways.

"He do be using poisons too, he do be knowing a lot."

He titled his head and shook his head no. "I suppose I'm going to have to meet this person then. I don't know many that know the art of poison. Some claim they do, but when I listen it's clear they don't.

Did you have any special techniques that you specifically used more then others?"

"Maybe. I do be being sure you will be meeting him soon."

And they could be weird and slightly leaky eyed together. Not that Xue Yang had ever gotten leaky eyed in front of her, but it was obvious he did that, sometimes. Probably alone.

He also held other peoples opinions very highly.

"His poisons do be being useful though." She sighed and then shrugged. "I do be knowing some poisons, I do still be learning though."

He gave a nod of appreciation. "If I happen to see him before hand I'll talk with him. If you want I can teach you some too. I've never shared my skills with anyone before."

The idea of having a student gave him a small sense of purpose. He was starting to feel like his normal self again.

"You would be teaching me?"

It was useful to keep her skills sharp, though poison wasn't something she could ask just anyone to teach her.

She would be happy to learn, sort of.

"What do you be wanting in return?"

"If you wish me too. I don't want to force this on you if you don't want to learn. I have some supplies on me. But it's not alot. I'm hoping to eventually find more or be able to grow more. I'm willing to spare some of it for you to learn."

He smiled, simply pleased by the notion to teach. "I don't need anything in return. I'm happy to share the knowledge with someone who I think will appreciate the art."

Nothing in return? He was weird. As weird as everyone else but she had expected different, he was similar to her in many ways.

But she could work hard. "I do be wanting to be learning."

She looked up as a door appeared. "We did be doing it."

"If I find something I need from you I'll let you know. But as of now I honestly don't need nothing from you. I never had anyone to teach before till now. That's more then enough." Xie'er explained and gave a nod in understanding.

Like before he waited till she left before he left as well.

This time she reached the door and then paused. "We do be needing to be leaving this one together."

Why? She had no idea but it was how it had worked last time.

[personal profile] scorpionsect 2022-06-21 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
..."Alright. I suppose that's why it's only one door verses the two we've had the last two times."

Xie'er rarely moved to join LO and walked her through the door. He didn't understand the reason for this, but simply accepted it for now.

"Yes." She wrinkled her nose. Would it be like last time? Would she now share a bond with him like she had Mami.

She hoped not, it had been weird, to be connected like that. He was no less dangerous than Mami had been but in a diffferent way.

She sighed. Whatever. It's not like they had a choice. She nodded at him and stepped through the doorway.

He sighed and made an expression of annoyance and followed right behind her.
