[ well okay.

they will sit in tis room and listen to the man scream, and wonder what's going on. the sudden recognition makes it impossible to finish the food, so they just set the porridge down and wait for whatever comes next. ]

[nothing happens. they're ignored for a while, which is probably a good thing. the door is left closed and locked, so they can't leave. the screams eventually subside.

and then after a few hours pass, a person pokes his head into the room and gestures to them, sort of a "follow me" motion.

you don't know them, either.]

[ saber stares at him, before quietly getting up and following after him.

do they trust the stranger? absolutely not. but this is doing something other than sitting here, and it's not like the woman told them to not leave this room so. yippee. ]

[the stranger will lead them down the hallway to an area where some stones can be pulled away, revealing a secret little alcove. it's quite pretty here, actually - some flowers bloom here even in the pitch darkness, casting a light glow.]

So. Did they erase your memories again?

[ saber freezes, now even more alert. they look the stranger over, desperately trying to see if any tiny ping of memory hits them of who this is. ]

What do you mean? Who are you?

Uruha.

[why does this person get a normal name.]

I'd say we're friends, even if you can't remember right now. Well, maybe we wouldn't admit that as easily if you did remember. I don't get why they're always so much harder on you that way.

[ WHY IS HIS NAME NORMAL.... WHAT DA HELL

saber still isn't sure what to do. ]


... why are they erasing my memory? Why do you remember? How can you walk around freely?

[ they have another question they want to ask, but they're worried to, so they stick to these for now. ]

Uh, I really can't? And I don't. I just don't get mine erased as often as you do. Like I said, they're hard on you for some reason, even though you're better at all of that than I am.

[the torture things.]

I snuck out. I thought you might need a break.

... I see.

[ they go quiet for a moment. ]

When they make you do that–does the person claim to know you? Do you feel like you know them back?

[he looks a little conflicted.]

No, not for me. But you've mentioned something like that before.

Okay...

[ they still aren't sure what this means. ]

Uruha, what's my name?
sacredpath: (Default)

[personal profile] sacredpath 2025-02-25 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[uruha looks a little embarrassed to have to say it.]

Your name is Sorrowglare. You even forgot that?

[ ugh this SUCKS they have amnesia and their name really is stupid as hell. just kill them. ]

Yes... the woman had to tell me. [ ... ] Who is she?

The Mother Superior, you mean? Be very careful around her, okay?

[around this time, there's the sound of footsteps outside in the hallway, near the stone they'd pushed away to get in here.]

...Oh no. We'd better get back.

[ they clearly do not want this conversation cut short, but they understand that getting caught would definitely hurt more than anything.

but okay, saber will skedaddle back. ]

[they get back! and the next morning, they are taken to the mirror. round 3. same thing, except now they can remember their wonderful name, and they are taken to the person on the altar.

we don't need to rp it all out i just want to know if anything changes or if they still go right ahead and don't hesitate.]

[ sadly, remembering their REAL TOTALLY LEGIT name this time from the start does make them more suspicious of the man calling them saber.

they will, ultimately, do it again. i can't say they don't hesitate, because they always will simply because they are not someone who likes or agrees with the concept of torture, but blood will be drawn again. ]
