Summary
----
LONELY BOAT IN THE OCEAN - Trite but true nonetheless; you're not lucid enough to exactly think up anything extravagant. The moment you woke up, you became acutely aware of the fact that while you must have been sailing for over a week(or based off of your recollection, no matter how unreliable that is at the moment), you haven't the slightest clue as to where you're going. Luckily this dilemma is solved rather quickly as you seem to be coming up on a lighthouse in the middle of nowhere.
THE VAST SEA BELOW - As if it were fate(or some form of cruel and unusual punishment set by a higher power), the current pushed the boat forward until it docks up beside the island.
MALADAPTIVE LOGICIAN [impossible:failure] - You’re here for a reason. Perhaps you live here?
JUDGEMENT [trivial:success] - Unlikely. You may not recall your identity but even you can't imagine anyone actively choosing that kind of life.
GILDED FLEECE [trivial:failure] — at least not with this much water surrounding you; a storm could flush you out in an instant.
YOU - Do I even know how to swim?
HALF LIGHT[medium:success] - Ha! Not on your life, boy.

Summary
THOUGHT CABINET - REVACHOL PARLE
The city speaks to those who work in its wounds - paramedics and police, the civil servants of catastrophe. It whispers through radio static, through the silence after sirens, through the space between heartbeats. Some fight the voices. Some embrace them.
But everyone who stays long enough learns the truth: Revachol doesn't just contain stories - it tells them.Bookmarked by noteuponhisdesk

Summary
YOU: A lean man in a white tank top repairs a Kineema as you sit crossed-legged next to him, yammering about all the things your clothes and appliances said to you the day before. He acknowledges every single insanity with the same dry humour, he asks you to hand him various tools, and you tell him that his Kineema loves him, and he grunts and replies ‘It better. I'm almost done changing the oil.’
“He already saved me.” You say, to nobody. “He didn't love me then and he still saved me. He doesn't love me now and he's still saving me.”
DORA INGERLUND: “But you know he can't keep saving you. He's human, just like me. We can't. You can't keep doing this.”
YOU: “Then I won't.” You tuck your hands back into your pockets as you free-fall, back into the land of the waking. “I’ll save me.”
