Quit her successful career for reasons she can't remember... Check.
Run a pawnshop that makes very little money off of people's old stuff... Check.
Illegally sell memories of other people out of the backroom... Check.
Try to stop her former work partner from finding out...

Maeve has been struggling to keep her head above the water along with the people who sell her stuff for a little extra cash. It doesn't help that the more she gets to know them, the more she feels like she has to help them. From Mr. Pendells, the schoolteacher struggling to buy books for his students, to Mrs. Miles, the pregnant wife who holds her secrets even closer than Mae does.

The bubble that she has been living in pops with the arrival of Finley, her old partner from the Department of Memory Acquisition, at the pawnshop. He comes with a vague proposition that the DMA needs help that only she can give. But she realizes with his return that she doesn't remember what caused her resignation from the Department to begin with and that her illegal memory dealing may be the least of her concerns.

For one, her emotions were out of control. She never got a peace of mind being left alone with herself. She was either blaming herself for actions, or she was traumatized at night by memories on this... place. The same place she felt more comfortable coming back to. Why did she come back? Why was the Isle her safe place? The same place she was punished on consistently for breathing incorrectly if her mother viewed it as so. But even still... it was her pain and her happiness. She felt more trapped and boxed on in Auradon than on the Isle. Was this a bad thing? Did she cause herself to feel that way? Was it Ben? Ben. The thought of him made her put the list against her chest. She felt terrible for leaving him.. but they were in a tough place. He wasn't listening; he wasn't hearing. She was impatient; her expectations.. could they be considered high? Should she focus more on working on her relationship than herself? No, in order to fix the relationship she'd have to fix herself. But she's a part of the relationship... Barely being here fifteen minutes and already struggling within her emotions, Mal began growing an headaches. The headache told her it was time to rest someplace quiet, to ride out the storm within her brain, for in time pain does ebb. "Working on myself hurts..." the purple head muttered in defeat, sighing a bit afterwards. A smirk spread across her face as her eyes landed on an rock had a forget-me-not hue.

"Almost Green" od NUmaker
Části: 34 Dokončeno
Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!

Kael Reyes is a "blank," a courier with no past and no memories, surviving day by day in the shadowy world of the underground memory trade. When a routine delivery goes wrong, Kael finds himself in possession of a stolen neural chip that holds the truth about NeuroVale, the corporation controlling the city through memory manipulation. As the chip begins to unlock fragments of his own erased past, Kael discovers he isn't just a courier-he's the key to dismantling NeuroVale's plan to rewrite the minds of an entire population.

But as his memories resurface, he's forced to confront a horrifying truth: he once worked for the enemy. Now, Kael must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything, including the last fragments of his identity, to stop NeuroVale and reclaim the city's freedom. In The Memory Thieves, the fight for free will isn't just about the future-it's about uncovering the truth hidden in the past.
