⊥ transient memories
[This doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. The only time he has even been on this trail was in those strange, wispy, transient dreams. Dreams by their very nature aren't real. They're figments of the mind, half-perceived bits of semi-consciousness emerging during sleep that sometimes last into wakefulness. Therefore, it should be impossible that he is on this trail right now and that he knows what lies around the coming curves.
[And yet, somehow, the impossible is proving itself to be very, very possible.
[He wants to blame this all on his master's hat and on the Force, as well as whatever unknown magical reaction triggered the explosion he halfway remembers. Yet that, while it explains his untold amount of time laying unconscious, doesn't explain how he can dream of a place he's only now visiting before he first visited it.]
Mas~ter! [Aifor sing-songs from above him.] I see town~!
[A town. He stops, shifting through memories both real and unreal, trying to see what he knows. He remembers people with no faces, voices with no speakers... No, he doesn't remember enough to be of any use. And yet, there is something about this village, something... something strangely uncertain that fills him with an odd sense of confusion. He doesn't know why, but it makes him less than eager to enter the village. Even so, he doesn't see any way around the town, nor does he remember anything in the detail required to teleport -- assuming, of course, that the other real-yet-unreal places in his head exist in this strange place.]
Master?
[He sighs.] It's nothing, Aifor. [It's a lie. He doesn't know if he wants to go forward, but what other choice does he have? Behind him is nothing more than the trail and the mountain, and neither of those will get him anywhere. He leans against the stone wall and looks up at the sky.]
I blame you, you old fool. Wherever you are, I know this is somehow your fault.
[ooc: Okay, I think I've finally got him back in shape. So, er, his profile is here, but long story short is that he's been here and yet he hasn't. All of his threads up to now have been dreams, at least to him. So he remembers things he's never done and people he's never met. And he's in a less-than-great mood right now, so don't mind him.]
