Dreaming Together With You - A Fading Memory Experiment - On Hiatus

Question: the bell rings every year in New Hope, right?

“... Or take a shit for that matter. Not that I’ve checked to see if I—you know what, not the time.”

"Hey, 'Brose, did, uh, did you shit yourself?"

Dreaming Together With You - A Fading Memory Experiment - On Hiatus

Yeah, exactly! Brown probably already knows what little writing there is on local stories, and his relationship with the Bilica family can help, too. Audrey would never be able to interview Stoat, lol. Plus just being generally more familiar with writing and record keeping.

Audrey, meanwhile, already has passing familiarity with a lot of Hickory's older friends, from running his errands, so she'll be doing a lot of the legwork for finding people and getting their stories.

EDIT: By the by, I'm good to keep this back and forth with Eckehart going, but anyone else can feel free to stop Audrey at any time.

"Yeah, that all sounds fucking great, but it's a little late for 'our own choices,' wouldn't you say, Eckehart?" she spoke his name as if it were meant to hurt him. "We already didn't get a choice in coming here. And I didn't ask if I could walk away, I asked if I could go home. Is that within your power or not?"

It seemed like he wasn't personally responsible for bringing them here, and she very much doubted he actually could help reverse it.

@PerfectThought I have a proposition: during the time skip, Audrey and Brown work together at gathering local folklore from older townsfolk. They could make a sort of Gravity Falls esque journal, comparing the stories people tell to their own experiences in Yo'Kibur during the prologue.

"Aud, do you believe in destiny?" Rowan pulled Audrey's attention from Toby, who seemed to be having a worse time by the minute. "These stones have been here a long time. But if I didn't know any better..."

Yeah, actually. But what do the cobblestones have to do..." she trailed off, looking at a smaller carving off to the side. It depicted a girl in ceremonial garb, she stood on a boat and rang a bell. It so much resembled their own town’s ritual, that it made her wonder if there was a connection between their home and this place they had been stolen away to. It made her think of Weeping Sam. Lost forever, never to see his family again.

"I got a question too," she actually raised her hand, like they were in class. Her other hand squeezed Toby's, "If I said I didn't want to meet the princess. That I'd rather just go home, would you let me? Or is it even your choice?"

Oh, I forgot about the Brown connection!

I will say, that's probably relatively recent, like the last year or so. I don't imagine Audrey has worked for Hickory any longer than that, she's only 16.

So it might be a lapsed friendship that has only recently reconnected.

@Fading Memory

Answer seriously, how confrontational can Audrey be with this guy before it becomes a problem for the story? Cause she's #notokay with what's currently happening, and is mainly remaining calm for Toby's benefit.

Do you know, I say that but I'm also just so impatient to get my character's power.

I'm having a good time, the pacing of the posts doesn't bother me, but I think I'll agree that the story has shot forward a little.

@gisk , We never discussed what kind of connection Audrey and Aleyn might have beyond her mom working at the Inn's bar area.

I also forgot to edit my sheet for my Yo'Bikur form. lol. Start of this month has been hilariously lopsided.

@Taka

Yeah!

I think since they're close in age, and their parents work together, they might even have been play date partners when they were little. She might have had a history of clashing with Markus, even before his parents went missing, and Markus became the head of the household.

When that happened, Audrey stopped being welcome around the Ward house, and they would mostly just see each other at school.

You know, I'd thought Ambrose got a wardrobe change in the transformation, did I imagine that?
