"Yohan!" [The cry is from a young woman and it sounds like it's echoing in a cavernous area underground. It comes over the din of battle

Rogue One?

[Ben's startled.]

[white_disciple]

Oh! Oh, this is just like with everyone else, isn't it?

I don't know you, stranger, but if you're asking what that means, it sounded like a name to me. A name based on a profession, but a name nonetheless.

[marrymarajade]

I'm afraid so.

I'm going by Ben. And that makes sense.

[white_disciple]

Greetings, Ben. I'm Rauxes.

I'm curious as to why you recognized it. I'd thought no one in this place was from the same plane as I.

[esoteric_rose]

[Heard that "grells" word, but more important at the immediate moment:]

...I'm not sure, Miss Rauxes.

She's in a bit of shock ^^;;

[white_disciple]

I think I understand now...

Is this what Sir Vimes meant by a... a memory?

Poor dear. /hugs her

[esoteric_rose]

It seems so. That was all the sounds from something you experiences.

How does I memree?

[white_disciple]

The words 'Mindflayer' and 'Illithid'... they send a shudder down my spine, Mistress.

[notpissedoff]

[Well, if there was any doubt left in Rain's mind after their previous conversations that she must be from the weirdest place ever, that just dispelled it.]

[white_disciple]

[I think this is the Sphere's consensus about her world, yes XD]

[desertshadows]

She became the wind? [interested and surprised] That must be difficult.

Sounded like some kind of [pauses] mission. Or something like that.

[white_disciple]

From the tone of ... the Inquisitor's voice, it did sound like an impressive achievement that ... Marigold had only recently attained.

What kind of a mission do you think?

[desertshadows]

But still attainable, with the right training… Hnn.

Sounded like information gathering.

[white_disciple]

Information gathering... I wonder about that.

[ice_echani]

That sounds like an ingenious way to deal with the enemy... though physically impossible to my understanding.

[white_disciple]

Physically impossible? You think I should doubt what was said?

[ice_echani]

No, it is not that. I long ago learned not to question what is and is not possible here... but the idea of a person transforming into another substance entirely still seems strange to me.

[white_disciple]

Ah, that, well. I don't get the impression it's something just anyone can do. It sounded like an accomplishment, from the way the Inquisitor spoke.
