Remembering.

...

Say, Ore. Do you like your other self?

[throughbamboo]

[tilts his head]

I do, yeah. We ain't all that different. I don't got enough context for the stuff I don't like.

Do ya like yours?

[causeplay]

I do. She has a... flair to her, that I didn't think myself capable of. Even outside whatever this was.

I want to know more of her story.

[throughbamboo]

That's sayin' somethin', considerin' what you got.

I'd like to know more of mine, too, but I don't think I'm gonna get too much.

[causeplay]

Why not? One can fit so many antics into an elderly man's life.

[throughbamboo]

[considers for a moment]

'Cuz the "other me" spent twenty-five years in prison.

[causeplay]

Without breaking out?

[throughbamboo]

From what I can tell, I broke out at some point. But I spent all that time in there first.

[causeplay]

Goodness. It's a wonder you didn't die of boredom.

[throughbamboo]

Don't think I was too concerned with stayin' entertained.

[causeplay]

Do you know what you were in there for?

[throughbamboo]

Murder. Among other things.

[causeplay]

[ ah yes my beloved teacher doesn't know about the murders ]

I suppose murder isn't really to your taste.

[throughbamboo]

Not really. N' truth be told, I didn't actually kill anyone. S'complicated.

But I sure as shit tried to.

[causeplay]

If you were anyone else, I'd call it a skill issue.

[throughbamboo]

[he. Is not sure how to take that]

Thanks?

[causeplay]

You're welcome.

[throughbamboo]

I'm sure this goes without sayin', but can ya keep that to yourself? Don't 'zactly want that gettin' around when I don't have all of the details to explain it, y'know?

[causeplay]

Don't worry, 'teach. My lips are sealed.

[throughbamboo]

'Ppreciate it, lil' lady.

Have ya gotten other - cycles or whatever in your visions? D'ya know what it means?

[causeplay]

I did. Much of it is a blur, admittedly... but I did get a name, toward the end. Tamar.

[throughbamboo]

N' who's that?

[causeplay]

It's what she... I... called the chalice.

[throughbamboo]

Huh. D'ya know what she - you're doin' with somethin' like that?

[causeplay]

Your guess is as good as mine, unfortunately.
