[Jenny's sat in her room. She's been staring at her rifle and newly acquired crystal for the longest time, thinking. She's had the advantage point of speaking to Cosmos right after she arrived, so most of the confusion has gone. Yet... things to mull over, the denial, are still taking their time to seep away

I cannot remember, but... it seems as though it has been a long time. You are newly arrived?

[Video]

[timetorunagain]

That's unfortunate... [She pauses, a thought occuring to her.] Do you mean that... you can't remember how long you've been here? When you arrived?

[She nods at the latter.] I am. I spoke to Cosmos when I arrived.

[Video]

[for_cosmos]

Few of us remember much. Only those who have arrived recently, like yourself, have all of your memories.

[Video]

[timetorunagain]

... wow, that's... disconcerting. I'm sorry.

Makes me wonder though, how long everything has been going on for, if memories disappear.

[Video]

[heavenslament]

I'm not sure how long I've been here. At least for the previous war...and that's all I remember.

[Video]

[timetorunagain]

A previous war?

[This... really isn't looking great on the getting out of here soon front.]

[Video]

[heavenslament]

[Terra nods.]

I'm not sure how long it went on, though. Those of us who were around then have lost most of our memories. Cosmos said we might regain them as we fight.

[Video]

[timetorunagain]

I hope you're able to. Memories are important. I'm sorry...

[ammazzare]

[ This one must be new. He'd have recognized her, for sure, if she wasn't. ]

I've not been here for long; what I've heard is that this war has been going on as long as anyone can remember.

[timetorunagain]

That's what's been said.

Though, there's the fact that... some people I've talked to don't seem to remember much at all, save this war. [A soft sigh.]

[ammazzare]

And some of us remember everything. Memories work strangely here, it seems. [ He pauses, and then bows a little, smiling. ] My apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ezio. Ezio Auditore

[timetorunagain]

Exactly. Those of us who are new to this war do... which means you must be new as well. [A pause.] Ezio. [She's folding her arms now, though she seems a little... bemused by the display, a smile tugging at her lips. The bow, that is. But she amuses him.] Jenny.

I'm a pretty recent arrival, myself, but the way I understand it... this has been going on for a long while.

[Video]

[timetorunagain]

Beyond what anyone can remember. I think that's what worries me. How longcan that be?

[Video]

[miragediver]

There's no telling. It worries me, too. It means there's no telling how long we'll be here going forward, either.

[Video]

[timetorunagain]

Exactly. And, if we forget, those of us who are new... what then? It seems a lot shorter if you can't remember your goal.

[Speaking somewhat from experience but in the opposite calibur. A seven day war, which had. Gone on for as long as anyone could remember. Generations. They all thought it had been longer than that.]

[Video]

[nullnullvier]

This war hasn't been going on very long. The first battle was just fought, but before this war there was another one. And before that, who knows? I'm pretty sure even that wasn't my first war.

[Video]

[timetorunagain]

Many previous wars?

... who knows how long they lasted, if the survivors don't remember. [A sigh. This is. Not really sounding any better.]

[Video]

[nullnullvier]

I wish I could tell you. But I don't even remember anything about myself. Only my name.

[Video]

[timetorunagain]

[A frown. She looks sympathetic.]

I'm sorry...
