Something occurred to me today and I realized that practically no one has mentioned it. We all know by now that sometimes we just randomly get items from home, usually in the strangest places, but there's something that I feel should be mentioned.

There are times where a shinki will suddenly remember something from before their death. This does not cause them to turn into ayakashi. I don't know what causes it, but one of my shinki, who is my best friend from home, woke up a few weeks ago and suddenly the day we met back home as well as several other events.

[Trying to keep this short here.]

He hasn't turned into an ayakashi with this knowledge. I don't know why he hasn't turned into an ayakashi, though I'm obviously not complaining, and since it's been a few weeks I can safely say he's unlikely to. Shinki, if you suddenly remember something, you should be okay. Gods, do not attempt to cause these memories yourself. There is something different about the shinki remembering these things on their own and us gods telling them these things. I would also assume that if Shinki A remembers something about Shinki B and tells B about it, B will turn into an ayakashi.

Anyway, if there are any shinki out there who woke up with memories they didn't have before and were panicking I hope this helps.

What if we don't want to know anything about our lives. Is there a way to prevent it?

[brynwieldr]

I have no idea. If we knew what caused it, we could figure out how to prevent it, but since we don't....

So it's not unusual for shinki to suddenly remember something from their past life.

But what if they've received an item instead that could be connected to it?

text

[brynwieldr]

That doesn't seem to trigger anything either, since without the memories it's just an item, isn't it?

[antepone]

Thank you for telling us. I think, if it were to happen to me and I didn't know, I'd have been a little scared.

Is there any rhyme or reason to it? I suppose that's my only question, if you don't mind answering.

[brynwieldr]

I don't think so, no, though I haven't exactly tried to study it. I just realized it's never actually been discussed before and probably should.

Milord, I know of someone else who received their memories back. His name is Bandou.

Tell him Niles sent you.

And let me know how he reacts.

Private; Text

[brynwieldr]

First: why would I speak to him? This is just a PSA.

Second: Niles what have you done to him?

[chickshades]

yo
niles said i should come talk with you?

text

[brynwieldr]

You must be Bandou. He said you regained some of your memory as well.

[minogame]

Now you tell me.

( It's not like he literally just remembered something this morning and went into a huge panic over it. No big deal. Great timing. Truly. #KotetsuSalt )

[brynwieldr]

It's not my fault the universe has a poor sense of humor and timing.

[Given Maria just had someone from her own world arrive, this is a little more reassuring to hear than it might have been a week ago.]

Thank you for the information. I haven't experienced this myself yet, but I've seen people mention suddenly remembering things before, so I may have to expect it from my shinki if it's getting more common.

If you don't mind me asking, were you able to discuss that information with them as well, rather than just being told of it?

voice

[brynwieldr]

I was. I would let the shinki bring up the topic on their own while you just ask them what they remember, just in case.

yours too, leo? kairi just remembered something about me, riku and roxas a little while ago. she's fine too. i guess it really is fine if they remember things on their own.

uhhh if saix ends up remembering anything he might end up wanting to square up with me who knows...

[brynwieldr]

That's good, about Kairi I mean. Should Saix remember that you killed him, however, I will stop him.

Did your shinki do this themselves or did it just happen?

[brynwieldr]

It just happened.

[sweetdeath]

You mean we can actually just remember things? On our own? Nobody said anything about --

Wait, what was that about ayakashi!?

voice

[brynwieldr]

If a shinki is told something about their past, they will suffer extreme blight and turn into an ayakashi. Most of the time the shinki and god will both naturally shy away from that, but it can be overcome. It shouldn't be, but it can. But yes, shinki will occasionally just remember something from before. I don't think it was common knowledge before now.

Voice

[clothes_make_the_man]

It's disturbing that this knowledge isn't shared openly with new shinki and their gods when they first arrive. I'm sure the old gods think it's to keep us safe, but it's more dangerous not to know.

Voice

[brynwieldr]

Actually, I'm not sure even they know about this. If they did, I think they would tell the new shinki and gods about it since otherwise, we have shinki panicking over suddenly remembering things which can in turn lead to blight.

( She'd thought for a long time if it was best to respond. Really, she doesn't do well when it comes to speaking to others but it seems rude to just listen to Leo give such helpful information and not say a word. Maybe she should text him instead? Oh, but she hasn't quite gotten used to this thing yet so finally, she decides to speak. If she keeps it short and simple, that'll be it, right? )

Th-thank you for sharing this. ( She's quiet, as usual but look, she tried her best here. ) I'm... I'm glad he remembered you, too.

( She kind of wonders who it was. Who did Takumi say was here again? Niles...? )

--oh, Lady Sakura?

[He may not be married to her as far as he cares, but she is a sweet young lady and there's a smile in his voice]

Wait, are you a god or a shinki?

[handsome_genius]

Of all the days to bring this up... you're sure there's no way to know it's going to happen?

Because... it JUST happened to me.

[He shakes his head]

You could ask a shinki, they might be able to tell you, but the god has no way of knowing.

Voice; From: Kairi

[pure_radiantics]

You're right... this would've probably calmed me down to know ahead of time. Thank you for trying to help other shinki and their gods by bringing it up. I'd been meaning to talk about it too.

Voice;

[brynwieldr]

Yes, Sora told me you remember something. I'm glad I could be of some help.

[darkestbefore]

[ Well, this is certainly very interesting information, if a bit frustrating. ]

I thank you for this information, I will keep it in mind. Although I wish we knew more about it, or to understand how this happened. If we could restore memories without hurting our shinki...

[ That is information she is bery interested in, for various reasons.

She gives a low sigh. ] There seems to be so much in this arrangement we've been entrusted with that no one understands. And too many dangers risked with a misstep.

[brynwieldr]

At least they give information now. We weren't told what would happen if we told a shinki their past until someone turned into an ayakashi.
