Nope. And besides, I definitely didn’t sleep in this.

@Magnanimity

Oh really? I had thought you only took it off to swap suits.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

My head’s pretty exposed. Kinda need it.

@Magnanimity

No helmets?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Nope. I’m grateful that a lot of these things were stable enough in their dilapidated state to never, like, crush me in my sleep or anything.

@Magnanimity

Would that have worked when you have your power suit?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I think so, anyway. It’s what makes the most sense to me.
*Shuffles over to your side before lowering it and letting it go, letting out a loud, metallic crash despite me not dropping it from far*

@Magnanimity

That would not feel good to get hit by.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

A lot of things could have. I have memories of seeing things while I wasn’t myself, even if I have no memory of feelings tied to them. The weapons on these ships were insane, though. Nemid’s forces weren’t centered around equipment, but it did have a lot of people like me who were being taken over even throughout the battle. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was damage from battling hijacked ships.
*Puts my hands underneath the collapse and pushes upward, lifting the mass of the collapse up over my head and temporarily opening a path*
Quick.

@Magnanimity

*Skitters through*
Thank you for not crushing me. So this damage is all because of other ships?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

And there’s no light in that in your eyes? Come on now.
*Rounds a corner and comes face to face with a large piece of the hull having caved into the corridor in our path*

@Magnanimity

You're confident. You may be right.
*Looks into the gap left by the impact*
What caused so many small points of destruction?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

You’re more of a light in the darkness than you realize.

@Magnanimity

I don’t know if I’d call it light. More a permanent ceasefire with life.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Optimism is about your future. Resolving yourself to make the most of it is pretty positive to me.

@Magnanimity

I like that attitude. I'll need to remember it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I’m not sure what call I’d make in your shoes. But I respect that outlook. And you call me the optimist?

@Magnanimity

It's pretty pessimistic to assume your past isn't worth knowing, right?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Were you getting that impression of your past?

@Magnanimity

*Nods*
I get the sense that our past wasn't a happy one. So instead of digging into the details I won't like, I want to make the most of my new life.
