[MEMORY # 11 (SIGNIFICANT NEUTRAL): Elena]
THIS MEMORY IS ACTUALLY TWO SEPARATE ENCOUNTERS WITH ELENA. The first follows directly from her starter memory (excluding a couple of lines where Mint says she's a princess)! The second is much later on; there's a sense of a timeskip in the memory itself.
[The first memory is with a girl in a ruined temple. She's watching Mint dust herself off after a hard fight.]
Girl: "Oh, I haven't told you my name yet. My name--"
Mint: "Hold on, are you Elena?"
Elena: "!? Yes! How did you know!?"
Mint: "I heard from someone in town. She said you came out here looking for your parents."
Elena: "Ohh. No wonder. I thought you were, like, a fortune teller. You kind of look like one."
Mint: (......Whatever.)
Elena: "Yes. You're right. I came here to look for my parents. They haven't been back for 5 days. I'm so worried about them... !!! Those brutes might go after my parents! I have to go find them fast, Mint. It was nice meeting you!"
Mint: "Hold on!"
Elena: "Yes?"
Mint: (What was I gonna say...? Oh yeah.) "Your father's name is Klaus, right? He owns the antique shop in Carona and is out here with your mother, Mira. They're doing research on the [relic] and haven't been back since last weekend. Tah-dah ♪"
Elena: "WOW! That was amazing! How did you do that!? You are a fortune teller, right!? Right?"
Mint: "Never mind that. Come on, let's get going. I'll help you look for your parents."
Elena: "Really!? Why?"
Mint: "You wanna find them, don't you? So I'll help."
Elena: "Oh... Ok... Thank you so much! I really appreciate this. Ok, let's go."
[Elena runs off, deeper into the forest.]
Mint: "Dang, why am I so smart? Hee-Hee-Heee♪ If I talk to Klaus, I'll finally be able to get some solid info on the [relic]."
[Elena leads Mint on through the forest for a while. They come to a wide-open space on a cliffside. There are two people there.]
Elena: "Dad! Mom!"
Klaus: "Elena, what are you doing here?"
Elena: "What am I doing here!? You haven't come home for 5 days! I was so worried about you! !? Dad, what happened to your leg!"
Klaus: "Oh, it's nothing. I just twisted my ankle a little. I can still walk."
Elena: "Phew... Thank goodness."
Klaus: "I'm sorry, darling. I guess I became too caught up in my research again. I can't believe you came here by yourself. Are you alright?"
Elena: "Actually, I almost got mugged by these brutes, but Mint helped me."
Klaus: "You are--"
Elena: "That's Mint. We met in the forest. She's really nice. She helped me look for you two."
Klaus: "Oh really...? Thank you for all your help, Mint."
Mint: "Oh, it was nothing ♪"
Klaus: "We haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Klaus. I live in Carona with my family. Oh, and that's my wife, Mira."
Mira: "Hello, Mint. It sounds like you helped Elena through a lot of trouble. Thank you for helping her."
Mint: "Klaus, there's something I wanna ask you."
Klaus: "Sure. Is it about the [relic]?"
Mint: "!? How did you know!?"
Klaus: "This young man asked me about the same thing a second ago. So I thought maybe you had the same question."
Mint: "Young man?"
[Rue walks up.]
Elena: "Who is that?"
Klaus: "His name is Rue."
Mint: (...He looks like a weirdo.)
Mira: "He got here just before you did. You know, Rue's looking for the [relic], too."
Mint: (Dang! He's my rival!)
Klaus: "Alright then. Let's talk about the [relic]. I've been looking for the [relic] for some time now. I've visited many ruins, read through ancient manuscripts..."
Mira: "Basically, he's been playing around."
Klaus: "Yes, yes. It's like a hobby. But it was time well spent. Recently, I found a vital hint that may lead me to the [relic]. There's an atelier around here that may hold the key to finding it."
Mint: "Atelier...? Oh, you mean a magician's workshop."
Mira: "That's right. Supposedly, about 100 years ago, a magician lived in this forest."
Klaus: "We believe that this magician did some research on the [relic]. If we go to his atelier, maybe we can get more information about the [relic]."
Mint: "Really!!!? W-Where is it!? Where is this atelier!?"
Klaus: "Well..."
Mint: "You don't know where it is?"
Mira: "Mint, can you come here for a second?"
[They walk to the cliff's edge.]
Elena: "Gee! It's so steep!"
Mira: "If the legend is true, there should be some kind of special area down there. The path that leads to the atelier should be hidden somewhere there."
Klaus: "But as you can see, the cliff is so steep, we can't get down there. Before you two came, I tried to get down there, but I ended up slipping and twisting my ankle."
Mint: "Dang, this is crazy. But..."
Rue: "Doctor, I think I can--"
Elena: "AHHHH!!! Mint!?"
[Mint jumps off the cliff.]
Mint: "See yaaa!!!"
Rue: "Geez...!"
-
Elena: "Oh! Hey, Mint!"
Rue: "Hi."
Elena: "OH, OH! There's something I wanna tell you! It's about Rue. He's really amazing!"
Mint: "What? What's so amazing about him?"
Elena: "This is gonna surprise you so much ♪ Ok, here it goes. Rue is--"
Rue: "Elena. Can you not talk about that, at least for now?"
Elena: "Ok...I'm sorry. It'll be our little secret ♪"
Mint: "What's up!? You told Elena, and you're not gonna tell me!?"
Rue: "It's not that, but I have my reasons... Sorry, Mint."
[He leaves.]
Mint: "What's with him? Aren't you going inside with him?"
Elena: "Nope. He just needed help getting here. I'm going home now."
Mint: "Oh, ok. Let's go back together then."
Elena: "Alright ♪ Let's go, Mint."
Mint: (I'll make her tell me Rue's secret...)
[On the way back...]
Mint: "So, Elena... What's Rue's secret?"
Elena: "I can't tell you, Mint. I promised Rue I wouldn't tell."
Mint: "Oh, come on. We're friends ♪ You can tell me."
Elena: "...Ok. I'll give you a little hint. Rue is a Pollywog, and the Pollywog is Rue, but Rue's usually not a Pollywog ♪"
Mint: "Huhhh??? That doesn't make any sense. Give me another hint."
Elena: "Nope. That's all I can tell you."
Mint: "Come on, Elena."
Elena: "Hey, there's something moving."
[Duke is dressed up as a star.]
Mint: "......What the heck are you doing, Duke?"
Duke: "What!? Man, this disguise was perfect! I can't believe you spotted me."
Mint: "Are you kidding? It's so obvious. Elena, you noticed him too, right?"
Elena: "No. Not at all."
Mint: "Dang, forget it..."
+ Irritable liking for Elena, Klaus and Mira.
+ So the [Relic] is probably something cool and ancient and magical but what does it dooooo seriouslyyyy.
+ What the hell Rue. What is your secret even. (Some curiosity and investment in Rue for the first time.)
+ Why is that guy dressed as a star.
+ A feeling of 'god my world can be sort of weird' for the first time ever.
+ She'll get a little shorter with people after taking this memory and more invested in winning games for herself rather than just for the sake of winning; it's nothing serious, just a constant low-grade built-up irritation from 'I have all these memories of doing things and a named goal but I honestly don't know anything about what I wanted or why and that's unacceptable.'
