Impressions after Alyx's Cuan wish

by Hildegard

Time period: 5th year, Glas, 4th day of Emberheart
 
ENDEARING:
Velo: He gave me his blood, bones, and soul. Committed his life to following me around the world and sharing knowledge with the non-Infernal communities to help them thrive. I don't think either of us know what we're doing, despite all the help books, but I love him...and I'm pretty sure he reciprocates...at least he tells me almost every day. I don't want to forget him, so we made a couple rings of mind shielding, and after this weird memory attack, I've been starting to write down as many memories as I can. I want to protect us.
 
Nizu: I’m so relieved to have Nizu in the Artificer’s workshop and in FUCKEM. He’s my kind of chaotic and so reliable.
 
Zoku: He’s so brave, but it took him awhile to realize Velo and I are dating. I hope we meet again when things are safer. He was such a great research partner for project memory.
 
Kilgore: She worked so hard during the Dueling tournament and always is willing to try new things in Pole Dancing. I haven't been going consistently due to FUCKEM, but she's a reliable friend.
 
Aoife: I tried to check on her after Megale left, but I haven't received a response yet. She's had a rough year what with the relief camp efforts and that nightmare night. I hope she's ok. We still hang out at the picnics from time to time, but she seems preoccupied.
 
Eva: I think I figured out a way to create a flesh golem construct baby for her. She is so obsessed with becoming some angel mother. It's borderline tedious, but I've learned a lot from observing her interactions with Marcel...and she does help me for a lot of sewing projects...

Marcel: I'm glad you finally moved to Tarslemoor! I can't believe you ran all the way here when Boreas attacked. You're so kind to Eva and watching the two of you has helped me with my own relationship.
 
Ren: I don't know you that well, but welcome to FUCKEM. Glad to have you on our team. No, I will not join your bubble team. I don't want my wings getting ruined. I didn't realize you were the one who put me to sleep the night the Kisjan were interrogated and the Knights of Terranimbus came searching through Tarslemoor. Next time, please move me back to my room. Fortunately, Untermeowler protected me.
 
Bebo: Such a good roommate. Sorry I boomed you during the construct night...I hope you're ok. I heard Diffraxus has been mustering an army, so I hope you're unaffected. Let me know if you need any help...or if you received any strange offers.
 
Untermauler: I’m glad you took the offer. Thank you for being such a supportive advisor to FUCKEM and believing in me. I hope I don't disappoint you, but I really do believe that we need you at the academy. I know we're both trying our best.

Tana: Incredible teacher, impeccable fashion. 2nd favorite behind Untermauler. She's so brilliant.
 
Rednop: You were put in a difficult position, but thanks for trying to support us. Unlucky Terb targeted you with that mirror. We've been working on mirror alternatives in FUCKEM and submitted a grant proposal to the Tower of War as a way to bolster our defenses against Infernals. RIP.
 
Ohva: I know you're trying your best in the Kisjan. I hope FUCKjan can keep collaborating together! Hearing how your Refugee Camp connection was a mirror clone is concerning. Let's try and help everyone we can.

Balvarax: Thanks for all your help with Operation FUCKjan...and for keeping me company at the Well when I wasn't feeling great after Buta's death. Go confess to Ohva already. You two make a cute couple.
 
Buta: I miss you. I wish you didn't suffer alone. But thank you for trying to protect us.

Watch: You've been a great ally and friend. I know you're worried that we may be taking on too much with the increasing threats to the academy, but what else can we do? Let's keep prepping to help as many people as possible.
 
Des: You're ok. I am kinda harsh on you since you're vapid and shallow, but at least you own it. Protect Cora or else I'll shave your head and glue it to your nostrils.
 
Cora: Ah my queen. I'm always jealous of how uninhibited she can be. I'm glad she does want to help people...and yeah, the Codex are a bunch of jerks...well the upper echelon...but we got our own thing now, so let's be heroes.
 
Dubby: Thanks for all your help harvesting dreams for FUCKEM. Oh and thanks for helping Velo with his dream studies.

Antioch: You're always a great client. What's that magnet next to the one that's probably representing me for?
 
Yannaselle: Thanks for helping Velo on the Dream Team and for tutoring Kilgore.
 
Athalor: He's not bad, but he's still kinda guarded...or unaware. Not sure which one is worse. But he did commission me for the headband, so I'll gladly work with him. And it seems he's capable enough to work directly with Untermauler, so he can't be terrible.
 
Garnet: Untermauler seems to respect you, so I think I can trust you. Be careful. If you need anything, let me know...oh and I hope you liked your shoes.
 
Durina/Renobe: Such a cute couple, I hope they don't let the Codex corrupt them.
 
Ardath: Our connections have flourished over the year. I know we didn't talk to each other much in the Grove, but it's great to collaborate with you. Thanks for joining FUCKEM. Let's make our mark.

Dart: Reliable friend and mentor. I'm sorry I used the obliviax, but protecting Cora was more important. Thank you for helping me further my studies.

Sventisko: I still don't trust you, but you've helped us get into the Refugee Camp, so you're ok. Don't break Mason's heart.
 
Mason: Patient, reasonable, willing to share intel, but kind of a pushover sometimes, especially with Sven. I'm glad we're working together for FUCKjan, but we need to think about more than temporary fixes.
 
Slaahg: Quiet, but supportive. Thanks for all your hard work in FUCKEM.
 
Arianna: If I didn't know from Untermauler that she was in Irolek, I would have suspected she was dumb enough to follow Alyx from the power of friendship. She was really nice though. Hope she's learning a lot in her new setting.
 
UNKNOWN:
Cuan: I've read about him in my journal, but I don't remember anything about him. No one does. Apparently, he was important enough that I told him I liked him, but now I feel rather indifferent. I do want to know why I'm wearing this bracelet.
 
TEDIOUS:
Megale: After all we've been through, she just left. She wouldn't even say where she was going, but said she had some sort of offer. What could be worth it that you would just leave? Also, next time, if you don't want your memories taken, don't lead someone down to a sketchy place while you're monologuing. I hope she finds happiness.
 
Lex: I don't know why you left the academy, but good fucking riddance. You didn't help during the refugee camp relief mission, you did jack shit in Untermauler's class. Led Ned around like a dog. Go fuck off with Alyx I guess. I don't even know why I made you the Shiftweave and gave you a paper bird.

Ned: I tried to offer you social improvements and they haven't really sunk in, have they? I could help on your stupid Terbovision project, but I don't like that you're not willing to promise not to scry on FUCKEM.

Terberisa: Of course, you would betray the academy. I know the earth and stone person dragging a mirror around the Spire must have been you. Rednop was a good guy and you're just a terrible pawn. If you even try to hurt Velo or my other friends, I'll end you.

Kraius: Shit attitude, doesn't give a shit about the Codex members disappearing without some guidance from Athalor of all people. Come on.

Alyx: Didn't think you were a good leader before, know you're just bad news now. Way to blow your opportunities. What's the point of a dark academy anyways? You're just gonna be used and discarded.
 
Designer 6: How dare you try and use me. Why would I even care about working with the Machine Prince?
