♬ What Sarah Said - Death Cab for Cutie

WHO || Des, Rafael, Violet, Jade, anyone else who comes to see Jade. [closed]
WHAT || Jade awakes, and asks to see Des, Raf, and Vi...
WHERE || A hospital, Chicago
WHEN || July 4th, 2013
HOW || Actionspam

[ Today's the fourth of July, and the city is bustling with happy, smiling citizens on their way to watch fireworks tonight with their loved ones. And then there's the Corvette of people sailing through traffic with almost desperate abandon, as Des steers his way through the city with a basically heartwrenching nat 20 drive check towards the hospital. Rafael lets Violet sit on his lap in the passenger bucket seat, but he doesn't say a word as he stares forward grimly, lost inside his thoughts entirely the whole way there.

They make startling time. There's another car of Knights on the way, but lagging quite a bit behind by the time Des pulls into a spot right up front. ]

[ he takes that in a sec ]

She must remember. To have asked for us both.

[nothingsodivine]

Yeah, and don't you think that's a little weird? Myri's no slouch, but I don't think she's capable of bringing back someone's memories. [(Wis 21)]

[romanticidal]

Only the gods are.

[nothingsodivine]

So you think her mom intervened?

[romanticidal]

You have another explanation?

[nothingsodivine]

No, but if she was gonna intervene somehow, you'd think she would've blessed you with better aim.

[romanticidal]

She took Eterna's memories in the first place. She urged her to leave this world.

I do not think she wanted her to remain a part of it.

[nothingsodivine]

She took her memories because Jade asked her to. [He rolls his eyes.] And if she took her memories, then why give her back the new ones? What was so important about us?

[romanticidal]

We loved her.

What is more important than love?

[nothingsodivine]

I wouldn't know.

[romanticidal]

Perhaps she wanted Eterna to have closure. So that she would not...

[nothingsodivine]

What? Drift? Haunt our asses? [He shakes his head. No, something doesn't smell right here.] Tell me something, Fluffy, how old are you?

[romanticidal]

[ what a weird question des, god, don't ask a lady her age ] 41. Why?

[nothingsodivine]

On my next birthday, if I remembered what that was, I'll be 3975. I have seen a lot of people convince themselves the earth is flat and that you can't split the atom and women will never vote. So trust me when I say that just because you're convinced that only gods can bring back memories don't mean it's strictly so. There's a lot at play here.

[He shrugs.] I may not have a better theory, but I don't think it's her mom.

[romanticidal]

[ well... shit, buddy. rafael can't even figure out how to respond to that so it's probably good timing that vi's about to threadjack soon. ]
