5th Crystal: [Written]

Odd.  I have the strangest feeling I was supposed to do something, but for the life of me, I can't remember what.

A rather irritating feeling, that...

If you don't think about it then it'll eventually come to you.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. I just hope it wasn't terribly urgent.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Even if it was terribly urgent no one else remembers what was going on, therefore the urgency that might have been urgent is no longer urgent because no one remembers.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

... That's a fair point.

[slickandskilled.livejournal.com]

You too, huh?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Seems to be a running problem here.

[slickandskilled.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I doubt anything important happened.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Well, at least if it did, we're all equally in the dark about it.

[slickandskilled.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

[knightofratatosk]

I think it's because of the experiment.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Most likely. The Malnosso know how to surprise us, that's for certain...

[knightofratatosk]

I thought I was finally starting to get used to this...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Probably best not to think too hard about it.

[knightofratatosk]

You're probably right. I've already got a headache from this.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

If it's terribly important, I'm sure something will remind you of what you've forgotten. If that doesn't happen... well, it's most likely not worth remembering anyway.

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah. I just hope this doesn't happen again... it's kind of scary to lose two days like that.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Well, experiments don't repeat, as far as I know. So it really shouldn't.

[knightofratatosk]

That doesn't mean they won't come up with some other way to mess with our memories.

Oh, it's you! I want to thank you for your assistance the other day! Those spells were very impressive!

[Written]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Ah, Sir Lute. You've returned to us.

I appreciate the compliment... I only wish I could have done more for you and that boy.

[Written]

[heroicsymphony.livejournal.com]

It's alright. Don't beat yourself up over it. You did what you could.

[Written]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Well, with the two of you returned to us, that only leaves the demon. Let's hope his "penalty" was enough to slow him down.

[Written]

[heroicsymphony.livejournal.com]

We always lose something important, so I'm hoping that'll hold true for him, too.

[Written]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

And... your loss, if I may ask?

[Written; filtered]

[heroicsymphony.livejournal.com]

Well, it seems my voice is gone, but worse things could have happened.

[Written; filtered]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Ah... my sympathies.

[Written; filtered]

[heroicsymphony.livejournal.com]

Thank you, but there's no need. I'll be alright. As long as I can still cast spells, it's fine.

[Written; filtered]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

That's very strong-willed of you. Your friends must be worried, though...

[Written; filtered]

[heroicsymphony.livejournal.com]

They haven't found out just yet, but they will soon. I know they'll worry but I hope I can reassure them.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

An affliction many seem to face, Sir Golbez.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I've noticed that. An interesting experience for my first experiment.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Usually they leave our memories intact, however.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

The loss of our memories may be a specific part of this one. They do appear to vary their methods almost constantly.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

So, it wasn't just me...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

On the contrary, everyone seems to be suffering the effects. And I hear this is the first time an experiment has had this particular aftereffect...

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Well, I've honestly been neglecting my journal...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

It's not as if you have an obligation to use it. No one's really depending on you for anything here...

Your friends notwithstanding.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm here with my girlfriend at the moment, so there aren't too many others...

That and reading back, I haven't seen them make any complaints yet...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

More or less as I had expected. There isn't much relying on our efforts here. I suppose one could consider it liberating...
