EVENTS: _____________
Eigla runs back inside.
Eigla: "Klimt says he wants a true friend - someone kind and smart, who's going to face the horrible dead world with him, with dignity."
Mary hides her face behind her hands.
Mary: ""...He's just too pure. Ugh."
Rosa: "You have a lot of those qualities, Mary."
Mary: "YES BUT I DON'T WANT HIS FRIENDSHIP, I WANT HIS-
Uhm. Let's, uhm, leave that all behind us, shall we? How about you give me a hand stitching myself back up, instead, and we forget this conversation ever took place.
...maybe if I dressed more provocatively..."

"You should be more assertive. He's too down on himself to make any first moves. Or try acting weak. He might want to be manly and protect you then." > Sew sew sew. Make sure not to sew my hands. Not used to having mitten fingers.

Re: Nechronica
Mary's embarrassed gesturing and sobbing makes it quite hard to work on her stitches properly.
"B-but... What if he just thinks I'm weird and ugly? M-maybe he has something against rams? Maybe he prefers human legs? I-I'm getting desperate!"

"He probably does, but Peggy is made of arms and intestines and she's doing fine. We're all physical freaks and misfits. Klimt is scared of that, a lot. I don't think a body will help you much with him. So use your mind." > Conversation check. Definitely don't sew my hand into her chest while I'm distracted with talking.

Re: Nechronica
Mary: "...You're right. I suppose it's a lot more about personality than physical attraction where he's concerned. Ugh. I'll- I'll try my best.
That said, uh. I think you did something wrong, because I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be hearing your thoughts right now."
Rosa looks down, realising she'd just accidentally sewn her own hand to Mary's skin. She feels strangely fluffy and hungry for grass and hay.
Whoops.

Re: Nechronica
Mary: "...Wind speed, bullet drop, aim correction. I, I have no idea of what half of it means.
Uhm. Seems like we're only getting lower-level, subconscious thoughts for now. Y-You should probably cut yourself loose before memories start getting through!"
Rosa thinks of Eigla.
A confident, industrious girl. You like her.
Red. You don't know her. She looks unstable.
Mary. It's you, for now. You're embarrassed. It'd been so long since people last saw you.
Klimt. He's-
Rosa stops in her tracks and shivers as she thinks something VERY inappropriate. Mary seems to notice it.
Mary: "W-wait, what was that? A-are you looking at my thoughts! D-don't do it, please!"

Re: Nechronica
FRAGMENT OF MEMORY: EGO DEATH _______________
Sheep. Your family.
Wolves. Danger.
The ram. The source.
Peggy. Thief. Freak. Punished by fire.
The red wolf. Fear.
Rosa. Too quiet. Nice.
Snow. You don't like it. No grass when it snows.
No, no, that's not you- You're Rosa, you love the snow! You want too see snow! You-
Snow is bad. No food for the flock. Starving.
Who are you?
You're a ram in its pen. The world spins around you. You bleat panickedly.
You're a zombie. You smell fresh meat. There is a metal door. You break through it. Something charges at you, biting and goring and trampling.
You're not yourself. You feel calmer, but hungrier. The Flesh does not sustain you anymore, nor does grass alone.
You're a truck driver, crawling from the wreck. The ram approaches. There is too much purpose in its eyes.
You're rats in the grass, and fallen crows. You're ghouls and mudmen and zombies. You're the scientist, and the wolf eating her legs.
Who are you? There's too many, and no two are the same. You can't agree.
The flock. You need the flock to live, and they need you.
They're your flock. Your lambs. You agree.
Mary had a little lamb Its fleece as white as snow
It's you.

EVENTS:
Rosa coughs and shivers, her mind slowly becoming her own again. Eigla stands in front of her, having cut the red-stained threads with her pocket knife. Mary is breathing heavily, covering herself with her hands reflexively.
Mary: "It's... It's too easy to lose oneself inside another. P-please don't do it to me anymore. It took us far too long to become stable. I can't afford to lose that.
I'm... Sorry for what you had to go through. None of us- I, was ever in a prison like that."

"I- I- Yes. Sorry. Thank you. Sorry. I. I'm going to go sit down. For a bit." > Go, find somewhere to sit down. I did something bad. "Eigla, I. Would like to, be alone. For a bit."
