[He laughs and does sit up abruptly spraying sand all over and also using BARiTONES ability to reflect, well sand in this case, so they hover for a moment unnaturally until they succumb to gravity.

He picks up a bucket and fills it with sea water before returning back the spot of his former sand prison.]

And what do you hope for? A tale where the seas spill red with blood?

[He dumbs the contents of the bucket in the depression, a brilliant crimson, that spread out across the sand. Wine actually. Wouldn't recommend drinking it.]

Holy shit, Alex! [ laughinggg ] That's a little more Biblical that I was expecting but, also, super cool.

You know, I never could read that book cover to cover. I got bored halfway through.

I suppose I am still missing a few of BARiTONES abilities. Though I don't think they are suited well to the stage either.

How are you dreams?

As far as I know, I never really tried! Reading it I mean. What dreams?

It wasn't part of your studies? If I were to speak Greek at you, would you understand it?

I have much more artistic capabilities in them. That is, if you don't mind a visitor.

I have no idea. Does Five know Greek? And also, I never mind anything! Feel free!

He knows a little. I assume he learned it when he was young.

Then perhaps I will see if I can find yours sometime.

...You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Dad made us learn random shit like that. But also, I wouldn't be surprised if I'd forgotten all of it! Especially since, you know, drink and drugs, etcetera etcetera, brain frying.

Are you sure you aren't giving yourself too little credit?

I think I'm being realistic about what anyone should expect from me!

And in your words what should one expect?

Absolutely nothing! If people don't expect anything, I'll always be a pleasant surprise!

I won't argue the philosophy. 'Tis a good one.

But you don't have to be brilliant or particularly brave or special to have worth. It's all the little moments. Like this.

[ snorts, falling back onto his back in the sand, limbs outstretched ]

It's a nice moment! But I mean, it's because I'm not that smart or brave or whatever that I'm pretty useless? I'm okay with being useless!

You are unique and special in your own way, and not for your abilities.

But if you are content with it, I can hardly complain. How have things been for you?

I am! Okay! I think I'm mostly always okay. I mean, I missed the game too, and that's the least okay people have been right? Like you.

How ironic to say this to amnesiac, ...

... have you ever had a memory that you can never forget, but you suppress for the weight of it? The game sought fit to allow me to relive it in catches and moments. I hardly can tell what is real or not sometimes.

Which is why I asked if you were suffering from something similar.

Ooooh... That--sounds like it sucks. [ huffs, blinking up at the sky ]

I think if we were home it'd be worse. Like--just from my memories of it. Cause I already can't always tell if people are dead or alive, and then--like. What's a hallucination because of what I've taken and what isn't? So that, plus my dreams are usually some weird-ass combination of my memories... I get the feeling that if I was home, I could probably easily just walk into traffic or off a building without realizing it.

Lucky I haven't, actually.

But, uh. Did you...wanna talk about it? Is that why you said sound is good? Probably cause I've never shown up in those memories of yours, hm?

Is there a particular sensation that makes the memories take over. For Five it has been smell, especially that of ash and fire.

Mine is sound. The closest I can equate it to is the breaking of glass. For it is the sound of shattering souls that does rattle within.

Not the most pleasant topic.

--Right, keep you around soft comfy things.

[ because that's totally the important thing to take away here ]

More serene and peaceful sounds, but yes.

[He motions at the ocean.]

And that's why we are here. Well, and that I have something crawling under my skin, but really compared to the rest it is minor detail.

[ grimaces ]

Can I do anything to help with that?

Truthfully, it isn't that bad. Would it be just the physical ailments, I doubt I would be bothered much at all.

Yeah, mental weirdness is the worst. I don't really have any specific memories of being through rehab, but maybe I can share it once I get one? That might help?

[He can't help but smile at that and run a hand through his hair.]

It would be an interesting watch nonetheless.
