FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Ness Tavane (aberratic, on behalf of The Forgotten (Julius, Bastien, Clarisse, Viktor (and Isaac)))
RECIPIENT: Everyone
NOTES: Player plot info! Basically: As far as everyone in the Gallows is concerned, the people Ness is talking about just straight up do not exist and never have.

[ the voice that comes over the crystal is a soft, somewhat frazzled soprano. other voices can be heard arguing behind her, but only the tones of frustration and suspicion are audible; the content of the discussion is indistinct. ]

Good afternoon, Riftwatch, this is Quartermaster Ennaris Tavane. We—that is, myself, the Seneschal, Griffon Keeper La Rue, and Messeres Bastien and Viktor, we are being barred from use of the ferry to re-enter the Gallows. Is there anyone available to vouch for us, please? We're all very tired from our return journey and have quite a lot of work to get back to.

[ viktor's words don't quite reach her, distraught as ness is—she's somewhere else in her mind, wounded in a way that is separate from but worsened by this forgetting. she takes her sending crystal in hand and breathes in, fortifying and shaky. ]

We can start over. We're rifters, we already did it once, we can just... do it again. And again, and again...

[Viktor's already frowning brow briefly deepens its creases. He, for one, did not make that choice without giving the alternatives—including the worst among them—deep consideration. Accepting the last resort as an inevitability? Pass.]

I understand your distress, Miss Tavane, and sympathize... but, ehh... you're skipping the part where we try something else first. Just... give it some time to unfold so we can make some informed decisions.

[ explaining her absolute, irrational certainty that no one will remember them—her—them, that no one will even care to try, is... more than anyone has time for at the moment. if viktor is so certain this can be fixed somehow, he's welcome to try; ness just nods doubtfully and turns her attention back to the brewing fight between clarisse and cedric. ]
