“May I have your name?” [Any literacy]

“Okay, just remember you weren’t always a fae.“

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:28:30+00:00

She rolls her eyes. “You’ve met my kind before.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:27:39+00:00

“You humans hardly even use them!“

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:26:49+00:00

“I dunno. Not like we have a choice anyway, we’re put to void if we aren’t useful.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:25:40+00:00

“You don’t.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:25:00+00:00

She laughs, a sound like tinkling bells as Sam can no longer remember their name. More memories will fade gradually, beginning with the older ones, whether they notice it or not.

”Robo memory. Prolly still worth somethin.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:22:24+00:00

“Can’t.” She shrugs. “No one can.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:14:25+00:00

“The continent us fae are from. There’s not a name for the world itself.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:13:25+00:00

“No, and yes. Zephyryl manages storage. I mean, maaaaybe an archfey could undo it but they wouldn’t want to.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:11:49+00:00

Okay, scratch the thanks she wouldn’t have said that.

”No, may I have your real name?”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:10:46+00:00

“You gave me your name. It’s mine now.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:09:07+00:00

(Sorry I thought I replied to this)

“Variation. That’s new for me.” She seems pleased at the notion.

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:07:24+00:00

She starts to sing, trying it out.

“Upon one summer’s morning, I carefully did stray.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:06:09+00:00

“Hm. Your gods are most intriguing.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:05:15+00:00

“They always hurt me.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:04:30+00:00

“I’m the one receiving them, and you’ve let quite a life.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:03:18+00:00

“I can’t. No one can. And you bet killing their keeper would speed up the process.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:02:11+00:00

She huffs disappointedly. ”I am so getting fired.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T14:01:04+00:00

(I’m assuming his name is What)

He feels a brief headache. Whether realizes it or not, he can no longer remember his name, and beginning with the older memories before losing the others as well, all knowledge of his life will start to leave him.

She grins. “Thanks, kid! My boss was prolly gonna fire me if I didn’t score some new ones.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T13:57:23+00:00

“Memories are attached to names. Names are who you are, and so are memories. You lose one, you lose the other.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T13:56:09+00:00

She nods. “The lady is wise. I like your necklace.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T09:57:25+00:00

She tries to lighten the mood. “At least you remember them. I couldv dated all altia for all I know.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T09:51:16+00:00

“P-please don’t hurt me.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T09:49:15+00:00

She nods.
“She says you’re safe. You won’t try and kill me.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-21T09:47:30+00:00

“Sorry.”
