Trauma Prom

[hitlist]

[ So we're in a tiny cell, it's pretty dark. Good thing Arya is a tiny person, because this could get cramped fairly fast. However she is already up and roaming around the small space, looking for a way out.

Arya logic. ]

Maybe we can find candles. Where are we?

I liked it, I suppose. I can't remember much of it.

[ she looks at him, a little warily ] I think I killed a lot of people. I can't remember if that makes me bad or not.

But I don't want to die. And I want to protect my friends. You're my friend.

[regrets]

... I've killed a lot, too. It does make me bad, and a lot of my resolve ... is to not kill again, and yet somehow, I keep doing it.

But I'll accept your friendship. Thank you.

[hitlist]

[ she hesitates.. ] I don't mind being bad if it means I can help my friends and my brothers. I would kill all of the bad people for them.

You're welcome.

[regrets]

... Ah ...

Something terrible happened, didn't it?

[hitlist]

I can't remember. I just remember being really determined that I would kill people...who I can't remember either.

[ shakes head ]

But we're still stuck. I want to trade something, too.

[regrets]

Maybe ... you can trade something less and that means I can trade something not as bad.

[hitlist]

[ thinks.... ]

I'll give up sight. That's not so bad.

[regrets]

... How can you protect people that way? That's too much!

[hitlist]

I could give up one eye...

[regrets]

No, I don't want you to harm yourself.

[hitlist]

Fine. Then I'll give up my name.

[regrets]

... So everyone will forget your name? I guess that's suitable.

[hitlist]

We can always make up a new one. And no one will get hurt.

[regrets]

... All right, then I will give up the memories of someone I love—someone who's here. It will be up to the personae who they choose, so that the choice won't be in my hands. Afterward, we can quest to get those back.

[hitlist]

Right. I'll remember, so I can help. [ hand shake....? ]
