WHO: Clover & Terra
WHERE: The woods and the river and the lake.
WHEN: 3/10ish
WHAT: Two people who are probably not evil go hiking.
WARNINGS: EVIL

[There aren't a lot of hiking options in Recolle, so of course they end up at the edge of the woods, Terra's arms crossed and brows furrowed, trying to mentally plan out some sort of path for them. The weather isn't too bad, so he's wearing a light jacket with the sleeves rolled up––though curiously, there's some sort of...metal pauldron? on the side of his shoulder.]

I know we can just take one of the trails but...is that really hiking? It's way more fun to make our own way, our own experience...We can just go until we find the river, and then follow that to the lake, yeah?

Does my plan get the approval of our lovely administrative council? [and he gestures to Clover. you're the lovely council.]

[ Clover is dressed for the weather and dressed for hiking. She's sporting one of those tiny backpacks, and it holds her water, some snacks, a first-aid kit, and some other random things. Terra's pauldron gets a strange look, but she doesn't comment on it because if that's what he wants to wear, it's his prerogative. ]

There's a reason trails are created, and that's for safety. [ The lovely council is a buzzkill. I'm sorry. What's fun? ] Is it necessary to out of our way?

[ She peers in the direction of the lake and ends up nodding anyway. ]

But all right. I doubt it'll be that difficult.

[ Sorry, Terra. Imagination is for people who aren't getting degrees in science. ]

There could be sinkholes. You never know. [ A possibility is a possibility, but still, she has not know: ] What happened the last time you came to the forest?

[ Look. You never know. Recolle changes every month, and who knows what that does to the environment? New plants have popped up outside the city limits, and that has potential ramifications on the ecosystem!!

But does she remember everyone turning very small? No, she doesn't, but she read Elda's guide. ]


I wouldn't be so sure. When I was in Respatrum, people were put under mind control or hypnotized, too. The chances are... higher than you think.

[ It's not a laughing matter, and Clover's pace, which was easily matching Terra's, slows. ]

I heard it was worse with the groups that went to Bosuma and Magatus. We all agreed to go to these places even if we didn't know what was in store. [ So he doesn't need to be sorry. ]

I... may have been a victim.

[ That's as much as she's willing to freely admit. ]

I wouldn't repeat the trip, but I can't say I was nervous when I received the message. Concerned, yes. Worried, absolutely. Nervous? No.

[ She pulls her water bottle out of her bag and takes a drink. ]

I wanted answers more than anything else, so that overrode most of my anxiety. I was... I wouldn't say ready, but I was prepared to think about unfortunate ends.

[ From dramatic mind control to dramatic morbid thoughts. ]

[ No is the immediate answer that comes to her mind. She also looks away from Terra while she thinks of a proper answer to the question. The sky has no answers, the vegetation has no answers, and the rocks on the ground have no answers. ]

We were allowed to take some useful souvenirs home. [ That's serious, but it was also a very poor attempt at a joke because Clover lost the will to make a joke halfway through that sentence. ]

There are old legends that the new locations we found had. As you would guess, some of them were based on truth. Apparently, Pesgare, Respatrum, Bosuma and Magatus were all one land like Pangea. However, there was a powerful weapon strong enough to break the four lands apart and taint the land with darkness, keeping them separated. Someone wanted to recreate that weapon.

[ Clover stops walking and sighs. ]

So it wasn't so much information about our existence here in correlation with Retrospec, but it was information in regards to what's happening in this world.

[ So not really that much good, depending on what you wanted to know. ]

[ This shade at Sora....

He offered the punchline for her lame joke, so he gets a smile from her as a reward. She appreciates the gesture. ]


To be fair, what we received is more useful than a t-shirt and I made sure to take as much as I could... [ You never know when you'll need to toss magical gems at an obstacle. ] But...

[ She watches Terra try to converse with a squirrel and shakes her head. ]

I'm as good as can be. Are you? Even if you're stuck in an iron cage?

[ Clover wouldn't mind being in a cage if it meant she wasn't turning into a monster. ]

Yes.

[ Even if it's a rhetorical question, Clover answers without a moment's hesitation. For herself, she'd go back to the time before she received any of those memories. She doesn't want any of them.

She'd rather live in ignorance than to have echoes of a world where her sister is out to murder her. ]


Squirrels eat nuts and seeds. Sometimes fruits.

[ Maybe Clover should leave Terra to converse with the squirrel since he likes it so much ]

You don't know what you have until you lose it. [ Her words are said quietly with a hint of yearning. ] I don't want to feel chained to what I was given. I want to have the ability to break those chains and grab hold of a future that's bright...

[ A future that's better than her past.

She can't deny that Retrospec has made her life a nightmare, that it's given her more nightmares, but even as negative as she is, she doesn't want to accept it. She can't accept it. ]


We have make a choice about which world we want more.

[ Which memories they want more. ]
