Who is the little lady?

INDRUS MERCUR: Oh! The little lady is Symnia. *Tiny laughter from far away from mic*INDRUS MERCUR: She’s a jadeblood that was crawling around the vents a while back. Shauwn picked her up and she’s been living with us ever since. A real sweetie. She says I used to tell good stories, wonder if that’s true. INDRUS MERCUR: Whatever the case it’s good to hear a signal. I was worried HIL had scrambled it.

[askthearmadatrolls]

INDRUS MERCUR: It's been pretty quiet out here recently. The little lady seems to like stories. I read the troll Aeneid to her this afternoon. She's asleep now.

Name of Patholomortician: Sangui Temper

Circumstances of Death: Both subjects returned to their blocks on the night of the fourth octant of the first solar sweep in the void.

Preferred Course of Action: We formally request that the food distribution system and everyone involved in it go through a mandatory screening and are fitted with circumstantial watches. The medicull team has been notified of this change, as well as the rest of the higher ranked ships in the vicinity.

Addendum: The head of the Patholomorticians would like to provide a list of subjects that should receive additional screening for a myriad of reasons

has indrus learned anything about the circumstances of his death/memory loss???

The recording clicks on. After a few moments of silence, probably of him reading the ask, the audio finally crackles to let you know that he’s no longer muted. Deep breath.

INDRUS MERCUR: Most of the information that I have about my amnesia comes from my roommate, who had to hack into my brain to keep me from becoming a vegetable afterwards. And even then the information I have is sparse, but here’s what I do know.

INDRUS MERCUR: My brain basically became soup after an… incident… and apparently parts of that caused some of my neural pathways to go haywire, and then silent. I didn’t lose any of the skills I had, even if I can’t remember how I know to do certain things, but every memory is gone, of every person, every experience.

A short moment of silence. What to say, what to say?

INDRUS MERCUR: I’ve run into five people so far that ‘know’ me. It’s the same, every single time. I greet them, they look at me like they know me. Ask me what’s wrong with me, why my voice is all screwed up, why I can’t remember them. And when I tell them I don’t know?Hitched breath

INDRUS MERCUR: It’s the same damned expression every time.

Long pause. Almost as if the answer is ove- wait. There’s the static again.

INDRUS MERCUR: …Was I really that close to anyone? Old me seems like a much better person than I am. But from what I can see? He wasn’t happy.

INDRUS MERCUR: I know my memories will begin returning, slowly. Maybe. My roommate says there might be a way to speed it up, so I can begin living as ‘the old me’ again. Would old me want me to? Would he want me to be happy, ignorant, spiraling? Or would he rather I returned to him. To be unhappy but with the truth.Another pause. The guy likes his time to think ok.

INDRUS MERCUR: I’m sorry. I’m rambling. There was a second part to your question?Pause. He’s reading the question again.

INDRUS MERCUR: Oh. My… death.

INDRUS MERCUR: …I’d rather not talk about it.clicking recorder.

What's life like in the armada, and why is Soleil the last existing limeblood? :?

Coughing can be heard as Soleil clears his throatSoleil: Howdy y’all- no no that’s dumb, uh, how do I start a new recordingThe sound of Soleil tapping on his phone can be heard. He drinks some water and gargles it.Soleil: Peterr Piperr picked a peck of pickled peppers A peck of pickled peppers Peterr Piperr picked.He clears his throat. Tap tapSoleil: Okay it’s about to start again………..So someone asked what life here was like! It’s not, uh, very good for me, it could be worse. I have a block I’m kept in and some guards who watch over me, one’s pretty nice, the other not so much. It’s okay though, I’m fed and I get to shower myself, and they don’t torture me. As far as why I’m the last Limeblood?There’s a long pauseSoleil: Well uh, on Alternia, and the whole Empire, Limebloods were hunt down and- uh- well to put it bluntly exterminated. Why? Well the whole caste was born with a special psychic ability to soothe down even the angriest highbloods with a few sustained seconds of Shushing. As far as why I wasn’t culled in the brooding caves? My Lusus saw me and just, sat on me, and hid me, and stole me. He was a big fuffy dogdad, I miss him.There’s a longer pause this time, with some sniffling intertwinedSoleil: That was a depressing note, so uh, instead I’ll end it with a song recommendation! My recent jam is a song called “I do what I want” by Missio! Ok well, that’s all I got to say, hope you all have a good day!!

The sound of tapping echoes, only to be interrupted by a sniffle Unknown Voice: Oh, is this- is this on? Sorry I’m adjusting to being blind A short pause is then met with a long sigh Unknown Voice: Uhm, so, my name’s Soleil Akiano, people call me Sol. I uh, guess I’m doing this because I was suggested to by my Moirail Seleni. Another short pause is broken apart by a sniffle and the faint sound of a foot tapping Soleil: I guess I just answer questions, but you probably want to know some first right? Well, I just recently blinded, trying to adjust to that, I was accidentally jettisoned straight for the Armada, which is now where I am being held prisoner, as I’m the last existing Limeblood. Uhm, some things about me, I like movies and music, I had a whole collection of them! I don’t really know what else to put, so uhm, Bye! I can’t wait to answer your questions!!! The sound of Soleil fumbling with his phone lasts for a second before the audio ends.

sound of clicking recorder

INDRUS MERCUR: So hey. I'm talking into a fucking machine.

Long pause + static

INDRUS MERCUR: It's uncanny, I guess, thinking that whoever you all are will be hearing this in the... past? future? present? Time is strange here. ...Who knows if you're even trolls?

Sigh

INDRUS MERCUR: Either way I'm going to be sending this recording out towards the session in front of us as fast as it can go. I... don't know why I am, but something says I should. See, it might be the oldest trope in the books, but I've lost my memory, pretty much all of it.

Small laugh, degenerating into wheezing. 

INDRUS MERCUR: People keep acting like they know me, and I have not a clue who they are. And on top of all that nonsense, strange things keep happening, my own revival from death only one of them! My roommate has told me that I'll be remembering things slowly. I hope so. Either way, I'm calling for you guys to ask me your questions. I need answers, but I don't know what questions to ask.

Deep breath

INDRUS MERCUR: So yeah. That's what I've got to say. Don't know how they'll arrive but one they do, I'll be waiting. If I'm still alive. Sound of clicking recorder
