[QUOTE="Victim, post: 3977086, member: 78"] Ashley - at least it vaguely felt like people had called her that before, so it was probably her name but everything was so hazy - drops roughly but safely from a nearby tree, spilling some of fruit she carried. "Good morning," the girl calls out to Dee and Michael while picking up the lost pieces of her breakfast. She's still sweaty from her early run. [i]I don't belong here. No. This is a safe place; it's calm and relaxing. No; tame. If you wanted relaxing and easy, why climb for the fruit on high branches instead of plucking the low hanging ones?[/i] "Do you remember something indicating that our abilities are in some way unusual? Perhaps everyone has an ability. Maybe we're in a safe, isolated place because our abilities are too weak," she replies to Dee, heeding an inner warning not to confess her own doubts. [i]What bothers me most isn't having an ability, or even not remembering the past. My power seems useful. And I am full of energy; I can make myself a new life even if old memories never return. But only if new experiences actually stick, if time doesn't keep slipping away, if everything didn't blend together into a fuzzy, indeterminate now. Memory loss shouldn't be on going. Should it?[/i] "And, umm, what was your ability again? I sort of forgot." She eyes Dee's knife uneasily, but covers herself with a smile. [i]Thrusting upwards with a knife delivers more force than swinging it downwards. ??? Yeah, I guess peace isn't for me.[/i] [/QUOTE]
