So you didn't remember even after all that... what a disappointment! But tell me about the people, maybe that'll help you remember more about them?

[manufactured]

Fair enough, though you can't possibly claim that you aren't asking me through morbid curiosity.

I believe I've been both of them before, in other memories - I know that for a fact about one of them, but the other one was a little more vague. I believe he was someone I've seen in passing, but I can't be sure and I'm not certain where. If I think about it for long enough maybe something will come to me, but for now I suppose it doesn't matter.

The one I don't remember very well was named Jack Krauser. I still don't recall much about him, but I know I worked with him at some point and he was highly proficient with knives. He liked fighting with them quite a bit, and he always carried some absurd number of them on him.

I've also recalled a few more things about someone I've seen before, but they were very disjointed and I think one of the things I remembered may have been coincidental.

I remembered talking to him in a large abandoned facility of some sort. We were aiming guns at one another and he seemed determined to make me understand something that he was going on and on about, but any importance the little speech he gave me may have held is completely lost on me for the time being. Then he called in a pair of inhuman...things that he referred to as "friends" of his and left them to kill me. The fight that ensued was strange, in that it was physically impossible, so I'm not certain that I was recalling most of it correctly.

The other memory I had about that person involved him standing on some sort of structure above me and intentionally cutting himself - once across the mouth, and again by intentionally closing his hand around the blade of a large knife he was carrying. I don't recall much else, but I do have the feeling that he did that sort of thing often.

[scythegun]

Well, I'm glad I could help you with your memories, I suppose...?

[No seriously, what does he do with that last one, oh my god.]

Anyway, what was weird about that fight with that man's "friends"?

[manufactured]

I was doing things that shouldn't be possible - jumping upwards of twenty feet into the air like it was nothing, taking a seven-story drop and landing without injuring myself at all, being hit with high explosives and finding it merely "annoying" as opposed to being killed outright.

It was...interesting, to put it lightly.

[...IT WAS SO FUCKING COOL, JAEGER he has entirely too much decorum to yell at you about how fucking cool it was BUT IT WAS SO FUCKING COOL]

[scythegun]

That sounds like a fun memory, honestly! Sure, it also sounds unrealistic, but battles seem to be interesting memories!

[manufactured]

...It was, yes. I enjoyed it quite a bit back then, from what I recall.

[scythegun]

I'm not surprised. I enjoyed the one fight I remember quite a bit!

[manufactured]

What was it like?

[Huh.]

[scythegun]

I was fighting against four people - a young man, a young woman, and two kids - and I had three oddly-dressed men with me. I believe I was giving them orders, but they didn't last very long against the enemies. There was magic involved and plenty of impressive, strange moves and overall the experience was enjoyable! They won, but I wasn't trying very hard.

[...we also all screamed our attack names but uh. let's ignore that.]

[manufactured]

It sounds interesting, at any rate. Unbelievable, but enjoyable.

[scythegun]

Precisely! It was fun, but absolutely unbelievable. I'd probably consider it the best memory I've received so far!

[manufactured]

This was probably one of the best that I've received as well, now that I consider it.

[scythegun]

I hope you regain more like that and less involving giant leeches!

[manufactured]

...I am still not sure why I was so unconcerned about where that went.

[scythegun]

What do you mean?

[manufactured]

My coworker just picked up and walked off with a giant leech and I was entirely unconcerned with this turn of events.

Somehow I am currently less bothered by the murder than I am with that.

[scythegun]

That really is the most bizarre thing. I have no idea why you'd be fine with this turn of events, but maybe you'll receive a memory that will help explain things a bit? I'm not sure what could explain that, though.

[manufactured]

Again, I'm fairly sure it was a part of someone's research, so there is that much... At the same time, I also don't recall ever seeing anything that could have come of research like that.

[scythegun]

It sounds absolutely bizarre. I wonder what they'd have to be researching to create something like that...

[manufactured]

...I think I have some idea, but I can't be entirely certain.

Perhaps I'll discuss it with you eventually. I haven't been avoiding it due to a lack of desire to tell you, but rather because I want to be sure before I bring it up to you.

[scythegun]

I understand. That's fine! Just don't forget to tell me whenever you do figure out what's going on!

[manufactured]

Of course. You don't have to concern yourself with that.

[scythegun]

Good! I do hope you get your answers at some point.

[manufactured]

I do feel as though I'm getting closer to them, to be honest. I may not always care for them, but knowing is better than being kept in the dark.

[scythegun]

I'm beginning to think you're right. As much as I may not like it, I can't ignore all of this forever. I'll need some answers too, someday. I hope I'll be ready when I get them.
