[The Fellowship of Animus] || [Part1] || [Recruitment]

[the_white_rider]

Characters: Fi, Gandalf, Xion, Zelda and everyone in the tower who want things to change
Setting: Any floor, any day from the 18 to the 26 (except the 21)
Format: Prose or action, whichever you prefer

Summary: Recruitment for the Council of the Sages (Fellowship of Animus). The four recruiters will walk throughout the tower in order to find and speak with the people they think could help. Anyone is welcome. There's no real setting, those four are just gonna go and bother people during their daily Animus life. So feel free to pick a day and location of your choice, otherwise it’ll be randomized. OOC Post is here if you want more information. Happens after this reunion.

Warnings: None. The recruiters will do this together, but feel free to put in the subject line if you’d rather want someone in particular to do it. The others recruiters may threadjack at any moment.


If you are a good person, don't reek with evil, and would love to help, odds are that at least one of those four, Gandalf, Zelda, Fi and Xion, is gonna bother you speak with you about changing the fate of the people in the tower. If you're evil... Some derps may approach you anyway.

Gandalf's idea ever since he first set foot in the tower was to see its people work together- About everyone in the tower has something in common: the desire to change life in the tower ultimately to see their homeworld restored. To that purpose Gandalf convinced Zelda to lead a movement. She was perfect for the role: princess, chosen by wisdom, descendant of a goddess.

Now remains to actually get the people into that movement. The network is too dangerous for that, you don't know who else is watching. So here, they're roaming the tower to find those who wish to stand free and fight the evil. Zelda, Gandalf, but also Fi and Xion, the only two other people in the tower who are aware of this plan and its purpose. And here it goes.

That is true, he did mention that they had methods of dealing with it. I do not believe that memories can be completely erased, the base information will always be there. Similar to how a child can experience a traumatic event and remember it several decades later.

That is a possibility, that cannot be denied. It could also be real. Without outside contact, it will be very difficult to discover the truth.

[Fi nods at his answer, slightly pleased.]

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Completely erased, no, no perhaps not, but effectively erased, yes. There remains the possibility of memories being regained, but they do not always return. Some memory loss is permanent, in fact if not in theory.

Sometimes the child never remembers. [He says this without any particular emotion, but he smiles when speaking of his work again.]

I'm pleased to assist. [This should be interesting. He wonders briefly what his enemies--his experiments--will make of it. It's amusing for a moment, but he doesn't consider them long.] I'm already researching, and I believe I've been making some progress. The nature of our existence--it is a puzzling question, worthy of my attention. I doubt there is another biologist of my caliber here--though I do have a research partner of sorts. Together I'm sure we will make progress.

Memory loss is a rare occurence where I come from. And it is through reincarnation that the memories were lost. They could be recovered, however.

Unless similar events occur to trigger a piece of the memory.

I have not met any other biologists thus far but I would say that there is currently a seventy-eight percent chance that you are correct. You are welcome to extend the invitation to your partner if you so wish.

[Reincarnation--does he even want to know? Probably not. It sounds like mysticism to him.]

Things are quite different in my world. I wouldn't say it's common, but head trauma can lead to sudden memory loss, and it can also be caused by certain chemicals or illnesses. As for memories being hand-picked and specifically removed... We do not have that capability.

[He would use it in a heartbeat, if he could.]

Yet it is best not to assume that the way things operate in our worlds will be the same here; that would be a fallacy.

I am sure my colleague would be quite interested, as our work is along the same lines. [Fuhito has his absurd notion about saving the Planet, but Hojo could ignore that failing, for the most part. Otherwise, he has a fine scientific mind.]

Seventy-eight... Well, if you do meet another member of my field, you must tell me, so I can ascertain their worth.

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

I am glad that I have no encountered such forms of memory loss in my world. No one would be capable of helping those afflicted.

You are correct, it would be. [Fi had already learned how desperately different the worlds of others seemed from her own.]

I am glad to hear that. And if I locate any others, I will direct them to you. If it is not objectionable, I will now add you as one of my dowsing targets.
