1. Someone asked Olivia once, "Don't you want to be someone? Something more? Don't you have dreams?" At the time, she laughed. "No, not really. I don't have any goals besides trading magical items." 2. Questions like that were often considered, but she found no need for them to have an answer 3. She is many things. She is someone who trades goods. She is someone who does magic. She is someone who can reach into the space between worlds and pull items from it. 4. She wants what most people want. Security, happiness, a world that doesn't have pain in it... a feeling of usefulness. 5. What does she feel a strong pull toward? People? Animals? Surely, yes, but everyone normal feels that pull, and Olivia would describe herself as at least moderately normal, if not quirky. 6. She never feels like being much else. Identity is hard to pin down. 7. Well, it isn't like she ever asked to be a person, now is it? 8. To her, it's more convenient not to have an identity at all. 9. Her identity feels loosey-goosey to her. People describe her as a bit listless, but kindly. Unfocused on goals, but interesting. A nice lady, but "with something missing". 10. She wonders when this feeling of "not being real" will stop.
The memories are rearranged, but some still refuse to link up...
Memories #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, and #9 are incorrect. FAUST gets the sense that #6 comes earlier in the sequence, and that #8 is close to where it should be, but not quite there.

[ Oh hello miss trader lady. He's a little surprised at first, but he accepts the hug.
Somewhere, it reminds him of a few years back, of Alina patiently coaxing them from their shells, of Talulah ruffling their hair. Before things went bad.
They weren't able to hug FrostNova, but he imagines she would have given hugs like this too. ]
You went to the "fake" that we were trying to work with an old friend to stop... I'm sorry, dear. None of us meant to fail you. Unfortunately, the Forest got wind of the idea, and a battle broke out.
[ Would that he could. He is rapidly becoming knife emoji at the forest man ]
We fell for it. You can't be blamed for our decisions.
[ Well, he supposes they could, but he doesn't blame them. It was ultimately up to them if they went on the trip. He and Mephisto both didn't want to and still went. ]

Memories #5, #6, #7, #8, and #9 are incorrect. FAUST feels like #7 belongs moderately higher in the sequence, and that #6 should be much lower.

YDALIR stirs from slumber, her eyelights blinking around at the scene before she pulls FAUST in for a hug.

Are you alright now, ma'am?

[She has no earthly clue what happened after the Faintening, unfortunately. She does not know about Silent Hill: Roseroot.]

[ That may or may not have been based on trauma. He doesn't want to think about that too hard. ]
We escaped, and found you here. We were told you needed help, so...
[ He helped. Hi. :) ]
no subject
[They should kill that guy.]

[Ydalir have you considered therapy—]

I'm pretty sure you count as a real person to everyone here.

[Please we're begging you to exist.]
Although, I suppose it would be nice to eat again. And have lips. I haven't made a facial expression in eons.
no subject
[ He has not been told any npc lore, he has no idea if this is a thing or not. ]

Uh... Do you want us to? I doubt the others would mind helping you and all.

[Ydalir, please,]

Well, whenever you decide we'll be here. I'm glad you're alright though.
