Just now, Chiyanna said:
"I...I...just saw a plant of a bright color...with small round things hanging on it. I saw it in my mind. Does that make any sense?"
"I've heard others describing something similar. And memory flashes do happen from time to time, at least for you newer ones."
Again, despite it having been almost obvious from the beginning, he found himself jealous of this spirit's recovery speed. He'd hoped for someone who could share his experiences. He knew this was wrong to wish for and that he should be happy for the them. He'd be a terrible person for hoping that someone had had to go through the same things he did. He shouldn't wish his fate on anyone. And besides, plenty of spirits had gone through what he did. It was just that none of them had made it back. There were others that had it worse and he should do try his best to prevent more suffering.

She approached carefully, stepping lightly and keeping her head low so she looked less threatening. At least she could remember how to interact with others.
(shes looking at yall's characters)
His thoughts were interrupted when he noticed another figure out the corner of his eye. One of the newcomers he'd met earlier?

Just now, Chiyanna said:
The spirit looked at the tall things, "Plants..." An image went through their mind of a green bush with a few purple round things on it, surrounded by tall, lush grass. "They don't look like plants to me."
"They're the only plants I know aside from grass. There's reeds and even a couple of trees! You don't run into those a lot around here," he said, trying not to sound offended and hiding his jealousy of the fact that this lost spirit had a better grasp of plants than he did.

The spirit had gotten lost in their thoughts, but once they were done thinking they said "What did you stop for? Are we there?"
"Almost. See those tall plants over there?"

"That...that..." the spirit paused, thinking back on the way the shadow with the swimming tail had talked about babies. How it had them, that look in its lights. But though it stirred something in the spirit, it just didn't know.
As Fangs waited for them to finish, he looked around. The swamp was a lot closer now, he could see the outlines of the few old trees through the mist, which was sort of beginning to clear. There was no sign of the two newly arrived spirits from earlier and he hoped they were together.

The spirit still didn't quite understand everything that was said, but some of the words that were unknown before now were known, "What are babies anyway? Do you know?"
"They're small nichelings that grow into big ones over time. Weird, I know. Some others claim that even we were babies at some point! I find that a bit hard to believe"

(is this still open for new people? if so, how do i join : 0 ?)
(Yep!)

Don't reveal which character it is to other players. The idea is that no one remembers anyone. Don't use names, but your nicheling may gain a desription after interacting with others. This description can then be used in the place of a name when referring to the said nicheling.
(The image part isn't really a requirement anymore as long as you provide a good description)

"About birds that steal babies and swimming tails and names." Replied the spirit, "I'd rather like to know what a bird looks like, but all I remember is hearing that they steal babies."
"I have no idea what they look like either. I think it's come up in a conversation before and someone mentioned the were blue. Unfortunately I don't have much of a grasp on what that's like, either. They must be quite big to be able to carry a baby. What would they even do with one anyways? Teach it to fly?"

As they walked down the hill, the spirit looked around. This area was...different than the rest of the place. But was it familiar? And what am I doing here? Why can't I think...why don't I know? And why do I understand so little conversation?
He noticed them looking around. They're curious about their surroundings. Good.
Then a less pleasant alternative came to his mind:
Or are they about to wander off?
It didn't seem likely, but just in case it was true, he tried to strike up a conversation again.
"So... What did you two talk about back there?"

The spirit simply said, "OK" and continued following.
Soon they were close enough to see the swamp in the distance even trough the fog. He picked up his pace and started trotting down the hill, but then realised he should probably wait for his companion and slowed down.
Fangs had so many questions. He wanted to ask what it was like and how much their experiences differed. Did they remember anything from before? What daylight or bright colors looked like? The smell of fresh air? Birdsong? The sensation of being alive, actually taking in air to breathe and feel it flow through your body, rather than just for the sake of communicating?
Those were all things that - at least according to what others had told him - new arrivals missed. But his past life was gone. This eternal twilight, the dark sky and the endless dead landscape were all he'd ever known. Even most of the things from before he got lost that had still taken place in this realm he knew only from Guiding having told him. Of course familiar descriptions and situations being brought up over and over again had awaked something, but it wasn't the clear picture it had once been. Perhaps that was why he didn't feel the same urgency to remember his life others did? He didn't know what he was missing out on, and was content with the way things were now.
Did this spirit feel the same way, or was it different for them? How strong a part did time play in what could or could not be recovered? They were clearly recovering faster than he had, which made sense considering they had clearly been here for less time, but did that also affect how much could be recovered?
But his questions had to wait. The spiky spirit was clearly in no condition to answer and even if they were, Fangs wasn't sure they'd be willing to talk about it. He himself had never even told Guiding the full truth of his experience. Right now he had to get this disoriented nicheling safely to an area where there was less of a chance of wandering off. And it wasn't as if being all the way out here made him exactly comfortable either. The idea of slipping back into that void terrified him even more than the thought of Guiding yelling at him.
(Sorry for wall of text, I just really like introspection ^^')

(i don't think there would be any real "living" things besides the nichelings, and the nichelings are spirits so they're technically dead)
(Yeah, all the bugs here are sort of... ambience? Wether they're real/"alive" or not is up to debate. Some nichelings choose to think they're real just to feel less lonely, but there's no real ecosystem in this absurdly obscure spirit realm)

"I wonder if there is food here..." she asked, changig the subject
(Unfortunately food, like a lot of nice things, doesn't exist here. This can be a very though thing for some spirits to deal with and Guiding recalls some of her lost friends chewing on grass or trying to catch bugs to mimic the sensation of eating)

"No-no. I mean, I don't know. Everything's so foggy, in my head and in this place."
"I've been in your situation. It'll get better, I promise. My friend at the swamp can help you."
-
2 minutes ago, Chiyanna said:
"O-ok," said the spirit, "I follow, you."
"Thank you."
He let out a sigh of relief. Finally. Then he started walking towards the swamp. He thought it'd probably be for the best if he kept talking. Just in case.
"So... Any idea how long you've been out here alone?"
-
31 minutes ago, Chiyanna said:
"Uh...I think they saw another shadow and rushed off."
He was delighted and relieved at the sound of a coherent sentence.
"So they're not alone at least? That's good to hear! Now would you like to come with me to the swamp?" he tried once more. Guiding would be awake any moment now an he didn't want to worry her (or make her angry)

(Added the first section. I'll just leave a link to the rest since it's very long and not very relevant info to this rp. Also they're silhouettes so the camo won't be any more effective here than just laying down and closing their eyes.)

(Geesh a lot happened overnight. Also I feel like everyone is discovering things about themselves way too fast. I'm going slower with my nicheling, but it feels like they're stunted or stupid or something because of that lol)
(Things are a little too fast-paced for me too. I mostly try to ignore it and keep doing my own thing. Also your nicheling has the excuse of having been here since the last thread since new arrivals have some traces of their lives left and older spirits' memories fade)
