Who: All regular Blanks
Where: In your dorms
When: Day 155 and 156
What:

[It doesn't really happen all at once, or to every dorm at the same time. But over these two days, you might spy a tiny spider slipping under the door. It is soon followed by several others, skittering along the floor, up the common room table and small cocoons of webbing are industriously opened. Almost as quickly and efficiently they scatter, vanishing.

If you missed this event... then perhaps you simply looked over and saw six small memory berries and the traces of webbing around them, fine threads catching the torchlight.]

((OOC: Two things! FIRST! Start your dorm's threads with [Your Team Name] for the sake of organization. SECOND. When you take your memories, ping Nishi with a thread link.))

As you swallow the memory berry, you feel something in your stomach clench and your mind seems to fray at the edges for a split second as you experience the memory unfolding in your consciousness.

[[Keyta rambled on as you strode beside the armored lizard. For a woman of her age and experience, she chattered like she was some new merchant. You know better though. This being the third outpost you've escorted her to on your trade route, she seemed to change entirely when surrounded by foreigners. All business and confidence then, sharp tongue and steady arm with a weapon. You've been enjoying this guide and guard run more than most.

But it was in situations like THESE that really reminded you that the merchant was a fellow clanswoman, more than her wanderlust... Now, harassment at the border to the swamplands was certainly nothing new... but a client not asking to meekly move on was.

"Look, rules like this are to keep your kind out of here. We don't want any trouble from you Pyxis thugs." The guardsman pushes up his potbelly and hooks his thumbs in his belt with an air of bullyish self importance. Keyta glances at you, then back at the casks. You had a job to do, and this priss was right in the way. "You aint got no passport, you aint got no clearance here."

"That right?" Keyta drawled, a casual hand to the heavy leather whip coiled at her belt. You didn't have to be told the plan twice.

"That's right." The large man sneered.

You stretch, not making much of a show of it. Then it's just a simple matter: you wind back and punch the city lovin' bastard right in his paunchy face. That was one heck of a satisfying crack, only made better as the son of a squidrat rolls on the cobblestones, blubbering about a lil old broken nose.

"That's me passport," Keyta grinned, leathery skin wrinkling as she sauntered past the guard. You nudge the armored lizard forward and it trundles ahead, pulling the cart and casks through the gate even as the two other watchman rushed forward. You just get ready for the brawl, unwilling to relinquish your cargo of wine to sell for the festival.

You can't help but think, as you trip up the first sot, that [Soldier] would only approve heartily of this as a proper Third Birth celebration.]]

As you return, the memory settles, interlaced with the rest of your recovered life, as if that was just another part of the world and people you left behind. It's hard to shake any of the conviction that it was real and it had happened to you, any more than you would a normal memory.

[There is the gentle sound of a shuttle moving through taut thread, and as the memory settles deep, your eyes open to the familiar garments of your kin on both yourself and those around you, dyed proud and bright.

City wear, for sure, but always practical. Short-sleeved collared shirts of fine threaded, plain-woven panna, closed with buttons of polished marwok bone. Trousers of good cort on the menfolk, and knee-high, pleated skirts of the same for the ladies; above the knee or not, ain't no one who'd call it indecent to a lass's face. Not one who didn't want an up-close view of the clan's favourite glove design: fingers free for delicate work, palms and knuckles guarded under the same slick leather as the jackets that covered their arms, collared v-necks more often than not hanging loose and open, for all that there's always tough wire hooks and eyes to close them.

Could always tell a Pyxis most by their feet, though. High socks on the ladyfolk, sure, short on the men. But the real sign was over those. Boots of [badgercrock] hide, always, thick-soled and lacing up their ankles. Business shoes, those—not that business never came with a bit of pleasure.]
