A world's support

[Nephrite]

In that same order:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+12 : 12 + 12, total 24[/blockquote]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+19 : 7 + 19, total 26[/blockquote]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+13 : 13 + 13, total 26[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

Even with Lifasa supporting you, it doesn't go far. You feel drained after that last time - if anything, you feel like a nap or more support is needed.

[Nephrite]

So for some reason it didn't calculate right.... all those should have 15 added to them.

I don't know why the board gets grumpy when I use + signs.

Does that change anything?

[Anastasia]

It does. Relining then.

Again it happens - effort, focus, pain. Yet this time when the pain clears, you can remember. You can remember talking to Elena as the throbbing in your mind fades, leaving you resting against the soft ground of Lifasa.

[Nephrite]

"Thank you." Moore says as he pats the ground. "You've done me a service I can never adequately repay to you. But you know that, don't you?"

He picks himself up and goes to fly back to Aurora.

On his way, he wonders if he'll be able to remember this when he leaves Lifasa... well, when he enters Aurora he should know, since that's its own Demiplane.

[Anastasia]

Your trip to Aurora is uneventful - and on entering, you still remember what was formerly lost to you, no sign of losing it right away.

[Nephrite]

To his old room he goes.

He clears his throat, "Elena, I'm back."

[Anastasia]

Elena pops in, dressed up like Tryll - which in this case is a ghostly aura and a rather horrific fish-horror suit. "Hi!" Elena calls. "How did it go?"

[Nephrite]

"I remember it. It took a trip to Elysium and some help from Lifasa itself..." he takes in a breath.

"You and I were in the library," Moore starts. "Do you remember? You said you watched Medi just like that. That he never fully overcame anathemic knowledge. I don't know if my remembering will resonate the knowledge within you, but I want you to remember, too." He adds the last part rather quietly, with a bit of reverence.

[Anastasia]

Hands on her hips now, "I don't remember that at all," she says, shaking her head, "But it sounds like something he might do. Explain."

[Nephrite]

Moore retells Elena's explanation, word for word — he retells the entire conversation, but without including specifically what Cantasa Alexandria did.

"If you think back to that time, it was before we had invested to have two of you." Moore says. "So even if you really can't remember, there should be a pocket of time you can't account for."

[Anastasia]

"I don't remember anything like that," Elena finally says, expression distant, wistful. "It is the sort of thing he might have done, though. I believe you."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "It's not enough to just believe me, I want you to remember too. I wonder..." he taps his chin. "Let me try something, okay? Hold on."

Off to the library he goes, to retrieve Eternal Joy and bring it back.

"When we originally did this," Moore says as he opens the book, "I don't remember having any pain like I did when I was remembering this before. I think that's part of what Medi did - to keep the pain away. I wonder if exposing you to this will trigger anything." He says as his attention turns to the book.

Will he experience the same thing when he tries to read it? He turns a page to find out.

[Anastasia]

You can read it easily - it feels clearer now. Elena looks as it and starts to read, nothing seeming to happen right away.

[Nephrite]

"I wonder if it triggers when someone is trying to overcome it." Moore says. "Actually... if I say 'Cantasa Alexandria,' you can understand that, right?"
