Memory

<Snipped quote by Memory>

When he was a kid he was trained to be a soldier. I believe they altered him in ways to become the perfect soldier. I don’t know how much that is true. Because I was not born yet.

@Spiritblitz

Were you not raised like that?

Myriad Reality

@Memory Wait lol, what happened, hahaha, did @Etcetera arrived to our location, or did you teleported out into the tavern? 😶‍🌫️🫨👁️👁️

@Shadrack Nor

@Etcetera showed up out of nowhere, ye. For good reason, as you'll soon see.

He was made to be a soldier, just like Dad. He was really good too, but it never sat with him well. My brother and Dad fought a lot, it was annoying for awhile to patch them both up!
*chuckles*
After the war they tried to hold my brother, but he didn’t want to continue on like Dad. And sooner than we even got to know, he left.

@Spiritblitz

Made to be? What do you mean?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

He just up and left.
*flicks my fingers at once*
Poof! Without so much as a goodbye. He was never one who like the duties he was set with. I guess he wanted to get away from it all.

@Spiritblitz

What duties did he have to deal with?

*shakes my hands dismissively*
Nono, I wouldn’t do that to ya anyways. Even If I were to run some tests on you, it would not have been anything near invasive or harmful.
*follows your tone shift*
Yeah, I don’t believe I have mentioned him when we last spoke, but he has been missing for a very long time. My sisters and I have been searching for him while going about our careers.

@Spiritblitz

I'm sorry to hear that. What happened to him?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

I understand, it is interesting how you manage with all of those consciousness running around.
*mumbles to myself*
I would love to get some tests and research on your brainwaves and pathing...
*shakes my head*
I have been good, still looking for my brother, but that seems to be an endless task.

@Spiritblitz

*Seems uncharacteristically perturbed for a second*
Um... mom says I'm not allowed to be a test subject.
*Resumes my normal calmness*
Right, your brother...

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Meredy. It's been a long while. I've met both of you when you were younger, I would expect some sort of memory fault to be in place. Easy to forget someone when you don't frequently see them.
*chuckles*
Are you doing well, too?

@Spiritblitz

Sorry about that. I often end up meeting someone and then not running into that memory, if you catch my drift. I’ve been as well as always. How about you?

Myriad Reality

*sees Prism at the Tavern and sits next to him*
Heya stranger! what are you doing here alone?

@Spiritblitz

Oh, er, what brings you here... um...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Understanding... is a funny thing, ain't it? Sometimes it takes more than just words.

*my gaze drifts to the Tesseract, my eyes reflecting its otherworldly glow.*

Some things... you gotta feel. You gotta experience. And trust me, this ain't something you want to experience.

*Just as Soldier Boy is about to respond, The Woman, Anya, approaches, her brow furrowed in concern.*

Ben? Is everything alright? You seem agitated.

Soldier Boy: Yeah i'm fine sweetheart *I caress her back letting her know to not worry*

Anya: Okay, but please don't think about it too much alright?

*she kisses me on the cheek*

Soldier Boy: Anyway, i think i'm supposed to get in touch with my commando unit anytime now, we were tackling a group of pirates in orbit here, and i just let them know i needed some time to myself first... but keep in touch yeah? They have 'psionic' communication chips that are quite helpful to reach people nearly anywhere they are, and i'd love to keep in touch with you, i think you may have answers to many of my dilemmas...

On the other hand... if you say you are addicted to travel, are you a fan of action packed adventures? I mean this would be a dangerous mission, and i absolutely have no idea of your level of military preparation, but you give me the vibe of a mysterious wizard from distant realms that you read about in legends and fairy tales usually those guys are quite well equipped for battle... what do you say?

@Shadrack Nor

I’m no stranger to observation. I can’t say I—

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

About six months or so... ever since i was dropped on this time and planet... And let me tell you, there ain't nothing worse than hearing that the countries of the world have been nearly completely assimilated in this 'Terran Dominion' crap, i was fighting commies, and now i live in some sort of a vast nightmare that is a communist empire!

*After saying that i turn towards you inquisitively*

Hold on a second, where are you even from though? I have seen some crazy people, fought some... rather ridiculous mutants, and forged some good friendships here, but i never saw someone who just casually says they travel between lands and they don't mean planets like everyone seems to do these days.

@Shadrack Nor

I come from a faraway land. Some would say that I don’t come from anywhere at all.
*Glances at the hypercube out of the corner of my eye*
I get the impression though that your tool might understand.
