Memory 2: Exams
Jul. 16th, 2014 09:50 pmForm: Pea pod, eat pea for memory, 4/5
( aching pen-hand prana )
EFFECTS/WHAT HE LEARNS:
* A lot of Waarden history he doesn't care about enough to retain. It'll slip through the mental fingers of anyone else viewing the memory, too, but a few impressions will remain: the Waarden are more defensive than expansionistic, primarily preoccupied with internal strife or external aggression; it has a bureaucratic eunuch class composed mostly of imperial by-blows, the sons of rebels and anyone who wants to trade their future children for a life of wealth and comfort; and at this point in his life, he resents it.
* He gets the three days of form exams before the narrative picks up, so he can at least demonstrate the six sacred motions and some spell-forms.
* Calder is his best friend and apparently went out of his way to be a bro. Bayan cares about him a lot; they show their affection mostly through snark and draping.
* He vaguely remembers that Eward was also his hexmate at some point, and this is a good start. Apparently this is from way earlier than his other memories, especially given that he was using magic freely in one of the others.
* His school is on top of a mountain and in retrospect that's kind of awesome. It has some great views.
* Apparently he changes his mind on a lot of things eventually.
* ugh school ugh exams ugh.
* +15 tendency towards being physically affectionate
* +15 snark
