Yeah, wander into the thread, see I missed an opportunity to interact during the period in which I had time.  Ah well, off to bed after this post.  It's probably been a few effective days since my last post, but it kind of works anyway.

Falcata finishes her feeble attempts to learn to swing her hammer any better and returns it to its sling.  Swinging the heavy instrument about telekinetically was just as draining as she remembered.  She had never spent much time practicing her magic, and the weapon just weighed too much.  She wipes some sweat from her brow and plods out of the barracks back toward her quarters.

Her entire body aches at the expenditure of magic, and right now she's too tired to care much about the noisy outbursts echoing down the halls.  She was pretty sure that the voice belonged to Carrot, and that was becoming a bit routine.  If she was needed, somepony would come get her.  The incidents had worked themselves out without her involvement so far.

Maybe tomorrow she would try swinging the hammer around with her mouth... no, that would just give her a sore neck, and that would take a lot longer to recover from than burning up some magic.  Right now, she was just going to catch what sleep she could.


((Incidentally, are the guards' quarters near the barracks, or somewhere else entirely?  I'm always lazy about this and just let the guards and soldiers sleep with the civilians on another z-level))

"But why do I remember it, and not my own?" She starts looking worried. "Is this anything to do with my dreams?"

You do not convince me. You rationalize your actions and because the result is favorable you become right.

"Your dreams?"

I hold open the door for Friesden, hoping to talk as we head towards the carpentry shop where Carrot's present awaits.

"Hooves...wow...AND IS THAT A TAIL?! DAMN IT! Well, at least I can kill people again!" Laughs the clearly-not--possessed--Psycho-Carrot.

"Um, yes.  Sealing the entirety of your past was simply beyond my construct, and memories started leaking through.  I had to adjust the purpose of the spell, or it would have failed completely.  It's working on releasing your memories back to you slowly, so you can better deal with them.  If you happen to dream of the construct, please give it advice on how to help you.  Tell it.."

I groan as I say this:

"Tell it that your directions are the Progenitor's Will.  And, um...try not to let it's opinion of me freak you out.  I know I had a hard time with it."


*********************

New daemon thing, and Khenal is low on magic and without weapons or armor?  This is going to get interesting.

"The Progenitor's Will?" She giggles a bit as she says this, and the colour returns to her face. "What, are you the Progenitor?"

"Sure you didn't, Progenitor," she says in a lightly mocking tone. "You really are the greatest thing to happen to me in the world. Whatever those memories are, we'll deal with them, together."

I groan a bit at the name again, but then smile and nuzzle my love before heading into the carpentry workshop.

"Now then, where did I put his gift?"

((what?))
Khenal finds the gift with a knife sticking out of it, being used as a door stop.

I examine the knife before pulling it out.

"Who would stab a knife into the chest I made for Carrot?"

*****************

What, you didn't think Khenal actually forgot the birthday of one of his friends, did you?  And you've gone and put a knife mark in the lid of your new chest :P
