[ well, that's quite the mental update. while ishmael isn't reeling from the download's sappy effects, she is in the mood to yap and gossip -- which is typically unlike her at all. and so, while they're all still waiting for the download to finish, she's got this to ask on their shared network. ]

Looks like this is going to take a while. And I know that most of us here were haunted by certain dreams a while back, me included. It's something I've already gone through back home so I'm not too bothered with it now, but I'm going to go ahead and ask anyway.

What are some of your happier memories?

That's probably easier said than done, though. You don't even have to think too far back and just share whatever made you happy since coming here. It's corny, sure, but we could definitely need some cheering up after all that on top of this horribly hot weather.

Of course, if you're too shy to share them to everyone in the class, I get it. I know I am. You can just tell me privately if you trust me that much, or you don't have to say anything at all and just read or react to everyone's contributions instead. Also if anyone's gonna come here to say shit like "Oh I'm not gonna share anything :/" then do us all a favor and not waste our time. Thanks. 👍

[ ish is too embarrassed to share hers right now, if anyone's wondering 🧍‍♂️ of course, feel free to threadjack if needed. happy yapping!! ]

I am not petty at all.

[ Just where Ishtar is related. And sure, she takes offense pretty easily... B-But she's been working on that. ]

I suppose I do, yes.

She is more than family, she is my other half. We were one, once. A goddess whose name is forgotten. The other gods split us into two halves, to rule over the Heavens and the Underworld.

My apologies. I realize this is a lot of information, all of it likely sounding nonsensical.

[ a whole being, split into two... it's a godly thing, a concept that ishmael can't truly comprehend as a mere human. but being separated by your other half must not be easy to live with. ]

It's fine. You have pretty strong feelings about it either way. And in the end, you were happy that she was there for you at your very last breath.

[ even if... it can't have been easy for the sister either. ishmael had seen plenty of her peers die by her hand already, and it won't be the last. ]

[queenofkur]

I was.

[ Suddenly, Ereshkigal realizes she's talked too much. Which she doesn't mind, but what if that information reaches the wrong ears?! ]

Please do not utter a word of this to her should she ever show up in this world.

[ ... ]

You do know our conversation wasn't locked to private, right? That means anyone can see this.
