Aather skill 05 & memory 26
Skill: Basic hunting
Regained: Day 301 / Mulan game
Form: A snap pea. Snap and eat to receive.
Notes: Basic hunting, Breeze style, which means using her speed to catch animals and break their necks. This is something she'll have some trouble with until she gets more of her super speed power back, since right now she loses a lot of her element of surprise.

Memory: LOL?
Regained: Day 302 / Mira game
Form: A simple silver crown, you wear it to receive your memory. (6/8 left)
What happened:
All of this got back to Sam. Sam was not happy about it.
"Oh, my God. Are you out of your mind? 'LOL'? Really?" he demanded. "I thought I told everyone: no talking to people unless it's your parents. I told you and Edilio told you. And then, because I knew perfectly well that you would pay no attention to that and do whatever you wanted, I looked you right in the eyes"—he pointed at her eyes for emphasis—"right in those eyes, and I said something along the lines of, 'Breeze, don't go telling horror stories.'"
"He believes that." That last was from Toto, the truth teller. The boy could not restrain himself from announcing the truth or falsity of everything he heard. And he was 100 percent accurate. And 100 percent annoying.
Sam, Astrid, Brianna, and Toto were on the top deck of the houseboat at the lake. Two days had passed since the dome went transparent. Two days since they had seen the outside world for the first time in over a year.
"In the eyes. Me looking straight at you," Sam said, insisting, even as Brianna adopted a transparently false What, me? look.
"Brianna, listen," Astrid said. "You're very useful at communicating with the world, but don't go confessing to major crimes."
"Crimes!" Brianna's eyes narrowed and her thin lip curled. "Hey, I only do what I have to do."
"We know that," Sam said wearily. "We know that. The world may not." Then he added, "LOL."
"Yeah, well they can all drop dead," Brianna said heatedly. "What are they doing to get us out of here? They tried to kill us all! Now they're going to judge us?"
Sam's face revealed his own private agreement, so he kept his eyes carefully averted from Astrid, as if that meant she wouldn't notice.
"They didn't try to kill us, they were trying to blow open the dome," Astrid said.
"With a nuke?" Brianna shrilled.
"She doesn't believe that," Toto said. Then he clarified: "Astrid doesn't believe what she said, Spidey." Toto was talking less often to his long-since-destroyed Spider-Man bust, the object he'd spent lonely months with, but there were still occasionally references. No one took notice: at this point no one in the FAYZ was entirely sane.
"Okay," Astrid said icily. "Let me restate that: They didn't set out to destroy us all. But they were willing to risk it."
Toto hesitated a moment. Then: "She believes that."
But now Astrid was angry, and not at Toto or Brianna or even Sam—to his relief. "They wanted their highway back. They wanted this to be over. And they sure didn't want people discovering that they'd been tracking mutations for months. So they set off a freaking nuke under the dome. Is that true enough, Toto? And maybe it would have overloaded the dome and crashed it like they hoped, and we'd be free. But quite possibly it would have incinerated all of us, the reckless, stupid scumbags who would kill us after all we've gone through, gone through hell trying to stay alive!"
There were other choice words, many, in fact, a long and erudite stream of them. Astrid had never been one for cursing, but she was very well-read and had obviously picked up a few phrases along the way. When she was done and both Sam and Brianna were staring at her with a sort of wary amazement, Toto said, "She believes that."
"Yeah, I kind of think she did," Sam said dryly. "Do me a favor, Toto: go find Edilio, if he's free, and Dekka. We're wasting time."
Toto raised an eyebrow but did not comment. He climbed down to the dock. He was used to being sent on errands. It was almost as if people found him irritating.
"Breeze: you know what I need from you. I understand that you love to entertain the lookers, but I need you patrolling."
"I was just going," Brianna said huffily. She blurred, reappeared on the dock, and then, walking quickly backward, said, "By the way, they still want to interview you, Sam." Then she zoomed away out of sight.
"Why do I get the feeling we have a crazy twelve-year-old daughter?" Astrid muttered.
What it means:
* The dome is transparent MORE IMPORTANTLY I GAVE INTERVIEWS ON TV
* ON TV
* I GAVE INTERVIEWS
* The government had been tracking the mutations for months before the dome???
* This + they set off a nuke under the dome = the adults outside have not endeared themselves to Brianna at all
* Sam and Astrid are such parents :T
