No, um, more like this. That should help. . . Um, unless it's too heavy for you! It's not too heavy, is it?

[though, it sounds like the second one doesn't really sound like he has much confidence in the subject. shouldn't a teacher know what they're doing?]

	About the memory? [Considers.] ...it wasn't mine. Or at least, it wasn't who I've remembered being in all of my other memories. It had something to do with this place, almost certainly, because something about it reminded me of that judge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't say for certain, but it would make sense. There was something wrong with them. They weren't natural. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

* looks away. *

Aah.

These memories-- Cygnus had something like them back then, the first time that mystery Judge with the looms showed up-- and then the codes she gave us, and the murals we found in that cave... which I'm even starting to wonder if we really 'found' or were 'led to'.

Someone's going behind King and the others to get us understanding things. Things about this place. The history to the Judges. That someone... could just be that Judge, or others. The question is... why?

	If we knew that, we'd have a better idea what to do about it, wouldn't we? [Pauses for a moment, considering.] But if it is a judge, we'd do well to remember that whatever they're showing us, they're doing it hoping to benefit from our involvement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-10 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	Seems pretty unlikely they're doing this just for us, yeah. Unless there really is a Judge who's that... noble? Compassionate? At the core. Which isn't impossible, I guess, since they've all got these focuses on different things... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even Messenger used us, and he was supposed to be focused on providing us with knowledge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-10 01:15 pm UTC (link)
	Well, can't really say any of that knowledge didn't help us, some way or another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-10 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	Helped us? Hardly. It helped him. Considering what we got instead, what he orchestrated into place, he wasn't thinking of the benefits to us at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-10 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	Whether or not he was, there's one definite thing that came out of it. We know now that Judges can be affected-- broken, even-- by things we can do. That's a pretty risky piece of info for even Messenger to let us have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-11 12:55 pm UTC (link)
	Obviously. But whatever reason he had for arranging it had to be worth the risk to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-11 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	* nods. * As for that other Judge... the 'Weaver'. Bones on Canis had a memory of coming to one of her Games, at a time when she wasn't... broken up like we see her now. She was kind, according to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-12 01:01 am UTC (link)
	What did he remember? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-12 05:14 am UTC (link)
	...being underground, just like we are now. He was hunting lizards when he heard a Call and headed for the Arena. The Weaver was there. Complete, I guess. Saying to him, "Tell me, Hero, what do you seek?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-12 05:43 am UTC (link)
	Something more recent, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-12 06:39 am UTC (link)
	Aah. And after the Judges started their Games, too. Which makes me wonder what happened to the Weaver between then and now to change her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-12 06:51 am UTC (link)
	Presumably, whatever happened to Trickster. She stopped getting whatever fueled her, and crumbled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-12 11:12 am UTC (link)
	But she didn't vanish completely. And... come to think of it, that last time we saw her-- it was like there were pieces of Trickster in the voices we were hearing, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-12 12:10 pm UTC (link)
	Which is what makes me think that whatever happened to her is the same as what happened to him. He's become the way she is, now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-12 12:14 pm UTC (link)
	... * blinks. * Wait. You think it could've also been orchestrated? In her case? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2010-09-12 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	Not necessarily. But I think the outcome was the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tothelight 2010-09-12 12:36 pm UTC (link)
	... From what Jace said, Bones got the impression that her Games used to focus on good adventures. Stuff that got people bonding. No negative feelings about them. We're almost positive Trickster's fuel was the fear and the anger he got out of us from the kind of Games he made up. So if the Weaver crumbled in the same way... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
