So... yay for avoiding the apocalypse, obviously. We have to honour the lives that were lost, but -- it could have been so, so much worse. We could have lost everything. Everyone could have lost everything. And we didn't. So I get why everyone's more into celebrating right now than anything else. I think we've earned that, after the past few months. Heck, after the storm itself. That sucked.
But I've been thinking. Every one of those gods wanted something different from us, even if I couldn't really tell what they wanted. Monsters are pretty old news. Bad memories are too, if you've been here long enough.
[ Jaime leans back a little. He's in his office in the Memorial Centre, surrounded by books, hair mussed as though he'd recently swept a hand through it, his other hand holding onto a pen and clicking it rapidly, fidgety as he is. It's small, but there's an unhealed cut across his chin, the hair there a little matted with blood. ]
But Clotho was something else. She asked for memories, or other sacrifices. What'd you guys give away? [ He tilts his head, considering. ] If you even remember giving something away. I know she asked for three things, but I can't remember all of them. I'm pretty sure that's by design.
...are you happy with your decision?
