Memory walked again, this time damara.
-started out in the dream bubbles. My immediate surroundings were yellow and sandy, but the sky was multicolored and cracked in some places on the horizon. I took in my outfit - red skirt, white socks, buckled red shoes- i think i was wearing a seifuku but I'm not sure. As I looked up from myself a gust of wind suddenly blew my strands of hair sideways into my face. I grumbled, brushing my hair out of my face and glanced over in the direction it came from. Since air pressure doesn't happen organically in dream bubbles, I thought to myself that Lord English must have taken out another dream bubble.
I wandered a little ways, thinking about how there must have been alternate versions of my group there, and a part of me was thankful my group was all in one bubble - or at least I always assumed so. I didn't usually bother to check either way. But the idea of one reality's gang getting scattered into multiple dream bubbles seemed like a weird concept to me. The dream bubbles never really made sense though.
- I took a seat under a weird tree, perched on a cliff edge. I could see where I had been from there, and I decided to just let my feet dangle while I had a smoke. As I spaced out, staring down at the ground, I saw Rufioh passing underneath me and got an idea. I flipped my foot so that my shoe came loose and landed square on his head. He got startled, looking around as he grabbed the foreign object off his head before finally looking up at me.
"Oi Rufioh, could you give me back my shoe, I dropped it," I sneered, pretending as if it was an accident. We both knew better though. Rufioh sighed at me and said
"Damara, what do you want?" As he tossed my shoe back up. I caught it, grinned, and I don't remember exactly what i said, but it was the usual mix of insulting and vulgar with a bit of self-depreciation. I remember getting a kick out of his expression. He just frowned and sighed "why are you always like this," before stalking off in a huff.
"Mata mite ne, Rufioh-sama"
(see you later, Master Rufioh), I taunted. I relaxed some, fixing my shoe back onto my foot before I decided to lay back and stare up at the sky, feet still dangling off the edge.
- I didn't get to lay there undisturbed for long, before Horrus suddenly leaned over my head, his sweaty face a little too close for suddenly being there. "Excuse me, Damara, but I was wondering if I could ask a favor," he started, as I scrambled to get away from under him and sat up.
(Horuss, stay away!), I shouted angrily at him. I wasn't in the mood for his horse shit. Of course as usual he didn't understand what I had said. He sorta frowned as he tried to understand through my accent.
"You seem rather angry at me, Damara. I do wish I better understood what it is you're saying..." he folded his arms and tilted his head in thought, but i was just too upset for even messing with him.
"Dakara omae wa mou iku wayo!!"
(That’s why you should just go already!) I snapped at him, jumping down from the cliff to get away from him.
-Something strange happened to the space then, though, and rather than landing at the bottom of the cliff among the sandy area i was in, I plummeted through the air until I landed in a pile of snow. Dream bubbles... weren't all that much fun to deal with.
Wherever I had landed was super cold, snow was everywhere and it was still snowing and i had no clue whose memory this was. It didn't look like it belonged to anyone i knew. Just about then, one of the human kids - a godtier Jade- approached me, and I made the connection that this was probably her memory, maybe even her land. "Hi there! You must be one of the trolls!" She smiled at me. I frowned a bit at her, arms folded tightly against me as I shivered in my seifuku. I sort of grunted an affirmative at her, trying to figure out her deal or place her- as Damara, I hadn't had any contact with the kids up to this point I don't think.
"My name's Jade, what's yours?" She inquired to me.
"Watashi wa Damara desu," I replied, but she didn't seem to understand me. I started to repeat myself, but I reconsidered my words. I enjoyed using my accent to piss off my group, but I didn't like them that much for the most part. She wasn't one of them though, and I actually wouldn't have minded befriending her. So I decided to make an effort to be nice.
"watashi wa -- My name, is Damara." My speech was slower, and I tended to pause or hold at certain times, but she seemed to understand me well enough and was pleased.
By this point she noticed how cold I seemed to feel, and decided I needed to go with her elsewhere. She took my hand and led me elsewhere, and while the memory began to peter out from there I’m fairly certain she led me to where she’d been conversing with John and Rose and introduced me to them.
-I remember thinking Jade was fairly pretty and cute, and John looked just weird to me (I only remember the subjective thought process, not what he specifically looked like.) I don’t remember thinking much one way or another about Rose. I also remember focusing on how Jade was holding my hand, and how nice it seemed.
-I had another brief memory, of fighting with Meenah before we all died. She was on top of me pummelling my face repeatedly, and it stung. I used my telekinesis to fling her off and away from me, and I slammed her hard into the wall as I struggled to sit up. I was pretty pissed, but I was also hyperaware that everyone around me seemed to be judging me hardcore, given that I’d injured Rufioh heavily and that it seemed like I just dealt a lot of damage to Meenah. But I felt justified in my actions, they both had it coming I felt like. I’m not sure if at the time everyone understood what both of them had done to me.
-I also briefly remembered scratching the Cardinal movement, just breaking it with my weapons (wands or needles, not sure which... I feel like they were wands tbh). It was so freeing to destroy it with my own hands like that.
The Japanese is pretty weirdly formatted, although better than google translate. I’m not sure if it’s because my brain refused to use google translate style on principle, or if as Damara it sounded more like human Japanese. But this is as close as to how I remembered it at the time I was seeing these memories, so this is how it is.
Some details didn’t feel entirely accurate at the time I was recalling things, but after processing it everything feels pretty spot on in terms of general accuracy at least.
