Midnight's Private Journal: After Legends Rise

by Midnight Erebus

This mission today was an unsettling one if I'm perfectly honest. So much about where we were reminded me of home. A squirrel-like race of people with a hero worship culture and impressive technological skills? If it were not for the great chasm and the fact that they appeared to primarily be of the fully furred variety, I'd almost have thought we were in the country of Yggdrasil as Nilly had once described it to me. Then add in the seer-like abilities that were very much like that of the village seer who used her visions to assign most of our hunts? There were a ton of little reminders that made me especially wary of anything resembling a large acorn given those tended to be explosive when Nilly was around.
 
Then add in the fact that it appeared hundreds of years passed here to the point with the crew's story passed down despite those being far more recent? There are implications there I can not even begin to fathom. Truth be told while I'm happy to stay in Liminal for a while to learn, I can in fact imagine a day that I return home. The option is one that I'd like on the table for me to pick at my leisure one day but now there is the risk that home may no longer even be home? I'm not sure how to process this. Perhaps I should just be putting it aside until the day it is even relevant. After all, even if I decided I needed to go back, I don't know how to in the first place.
 
I think this is why I felt so... would it be sympathetic or empathetic? One of those for Tsoki. Not only did their home bring up so many memories, but we may have pushed this same fate onto them. I hope they can be made a part of the crew. This seems to be a prospect they'd absolutely love. Can't even imagine the disappointment they'd feel if they could not and were just essentially dropped in the city. Whatever happens, I'll make it a point to have their back. I share responsibility in this for not having a better plan on our escape.
 
Maybe after I get a good break to recover we'll share some drinks and I can find out what their story was. I've definitely exhausted a lot of energy these last few missions and can't keep ignoring it. If I pushed myself much further without a break, Linlin would beat the ever living crap out of me if she were here.
