[ So after waking up from a vivid dream that he's becoming more and more convinced isn't a dream at all, Yata sits in the barn at Roy's temple late this morning having a minor panic attack. Unsure what he's supposed to do about this and when the first person he would normally go ask is the one person he can't go ask, he does the obvious thing. At least for him.

He flips open a video feed to the BBS. ]

So, uh, I know this has been talked about on here before but it hasn't really been relevant to me before now... [ Which, in Yata-speak, means he didn't pay attention. ] ...but.

What do you do if you wake up and suddenly remember something - or someone - from before. And you're pretty sure they don't? I mean. That's bad, right?


(( OOC Note: Both Fushimi and Yata have woken up with the same memory, Fushimi is just the sort to freak out about it privately while Yata is not, hence this post. Both characters may be tagging back replies in this thread however, and both are open to contact or action logs as well, just specify what/who you want in your starter ))

It's quite common for the new shinki. You shouldn't panic. But you should be careful with discussing the actual memory if it concerns other people here.

[ An unfamiliar voice, but he feels pretty grateful for the advice. Even if he is still sorta panicking a little. He's really not good at keeping secrets... ]

It does. How do I know what I can say? Or... I guess I can't say anything, can I?

[bussounoshima]

[It's a reassuring voice to here advice from. Calm, measured and completely certain.]

You might be able to, but probably not. If they're also a shinki, it's important that you learn what they remember first. You can't tell them anything about themselves that might be new to them- preferably not even that they knew you. It will be the same for them.

[thevanguard]

Shit. Then how'm I supposed to figure any of this out?

[ He's not the brains of this duo, he's the one that punches bad guys and sets them on fire. This is already making his head hurt. ]

[bussounoshima]

Carefully. [If it weren't such a serious situation, she might sound a little amused there.]

Perhaps mention something you remember without being specific about who was there or what actually happened and see how they react. You could also ask their god or a friend unrelated to your pasts if your friend has mentioned anything- you'll be able to tell them whatever you want and they can ask things without endangering themselves.

[thevanguard]

Oh. I guess I could ask his god. Although they haven't known each other very long yet...

[ It doesn't help that Saru hasn't gone out of his way here to make many friends. Yata's been the one filling that role, just as Saru's the one he would have normally gone to for advice about this. ]

[bussounoshima]

Someone else you trust could also work just fine. A god is just safer, because you don't have to worry about them hearing something they shouldn't.

[Well, you might. But that's a separate, paranoid layer of complication.]

If you do talk to him yourself, work slow. Stop if you feel you're approaching something dangerous.

[thevanguard]

Yeah. At least that seems to make itself known pretty quick.

[ As much as he hated that feeling. It was why he tried not to think about this stuff too much normally. ]

I can try it, anyway. Although I'm half expecting this to backfire horribly. I thought getting memories back would be great, but I think it might have just made everything more complicated.
