[MEMORY LOG] Memories #9-#15
Exploring the secret passage as a child. (pre-game, offscreen)
FROM: Heart games.
FORM: colored sugar in the shape of pancakes
SHAREABLE: no
Richard, being the bookworm he is, discovers some documents that mention a secret passage under the castle. He's already familiar with the cellars because of spending time down their hiding out in his forts, so it's easy for him to locate it. It takes him a few tries to work up the courage to explore it properly, but it's very exciting secret all of his own.
Inside the cocoon. (Adulthood, +Lambda)
FROM: Handless Faith's risks game.
FORM: a card (rip for memory)
SHAREABLE: 1/2
- To 8:23.
- Also this picture.
- I'm pretty sure Richard is only semi-conscious during a good portion of the cocoon. Richard doesn't want to be in control, Lambda does, and besides, both of them are resting and gaining energy and eleth. So mostly what Richard's going to get from this memory is a sense of temporary safety and of him and Lambda literally against the rest of the world, and of... growth? They're creating something new, and Richard himself is physically changing as well.
- It should be noted that while Lambda is in the driver's seat, that doesn't mean that Richard doesn't approve of what he's doing. This is all consensual.
Heading for the secret passage to meet his friends and collapsing. (Childhood, offscreen)
FROM: Cheshire's Truth or Dare game.
FORM: a vanilla mouse-shaped cakepop
SHAREABLE: no
Richard goes from being super excited about sneaking his friends into the castle to feeling as though something's not quite right by the time he gets to the cellars... he goes to the ruined statue to sit down for a moment, and then unconsciousness overtakes him. He doesn't really have time to wonder what's going on.
Barona: encountering Aston and Hubert, and making plans for later. (Childhood)
FROM: Darkness-Three's trauma game.
FORM: a sweet dried date
SHAREABLE: no
- To 3:32.
- Kind of self-explanatory. He's super excited to have his friends visiting them and wants to show them the castle. There's some slight underlying weirdness with Hubert's behavior and the strange man Aston was talking to, but Richard's having such a good day and is looking forward to spending more time with his friends, so he doesn't really pick up on it.
Leaving Lhant: standing up for Asbel and giving him the ring. (Childhood)
FROM: Baker's eating contest.
FORM: gummi worms
SHAREABLE: 6/7
- To 4:38 and then from 5:18 to 6:05.
- Richard is lying about being the one to ask Asbel to show him around, and Aston knows he's lying, and Richard knows Aston knows he's lying. But he wants to stand up for his friend (and he can use the power of his position to protect him, which is good -- it should protect someone, at least).
- He's genuinely shocked and worried to hear that his father is ill, since he was fine when Richard last saw him. He doesn't suspect any foul play just yet.
- He gives Asbel the ring not only for the reason he says -- so that they can meet if Asbel visits -- but also because he really wants some physical proof that what happened in Lhant wasn't just his imagination. When he sees that the ring is gone, he knows he'll remember Asbel (and Sophie), and he hopes Asbel will think of him when he sees the ring.
- ♥ Asbel ♥
Lhant Hill: Bryce and falling off a cliff. (Childhood)
FROM: Hades's getting to know you game.
FORM: a golden ring
SHAREABLE: 7/8
- To video end.
- Apparently he didn't tell Asbel and Sophie that he was the prince right away. In the memory, his identity being revealed makes him feel like whatever small spark of hope he had for connecting with them has vanished. In Aather, he'll be grimly unsurprised that he didn't tell them initially.
- Bryce is part of his retinue. He is also a bully and a generally unpleasant person, but there's nothing Richard can do about it. While he doesn't like Bryce, his betrayal is still a surprise and a blow.
- Richard is sure that he's going to die, and he's also sure that he's going to get Sophie and Asbel killed as well. Feels bad, man. He's so paralyzed with fear that all he can do is watch while they battle Bryce.
- Before he can even calm down and start processing what happened, he slips over the edge of the cliff, and drags Sophie and Asbel with him when they attempt to help.
- NOT A GOOD MEMORY :| Even though he knows in Aather that it turns out all right, everything that happens here is terrifying.
An assassination attempt. (pre-Adulthood, offscreen, +Lambda)
FROM: Heart games.
FORM: a crystalline sugar cog wheel
SHAREABLE: 1/2 (small bites)
- We know that Richard has likely survived numerous assassination attempts. This is one of them. In the middle of the night, he wakes up because someone has gotten into his room. He attempts to fend off the assassin and is mostly successful, but in the process gets stabbed quite badly -- or so he thinks? When the guards rush in to help, he finds that the injury is much less serious than he had assumed. It must have been his imagination, in the heat of the moment. (No. It was Lambda.) He's ~15 at the time.
