Research Anxiety Fatigue weighs heavy on your eyelids as you fight to contain another yawn. Your fellow researchers are just as exhausted, but you’re so close to an answer and that adrenaline alone keeps you going. That and the knowledge that he is expecting results and he’s not someone to disappoint.
You adjust the precious specimens of crystal other, stouter people than you have so carefully and selflessly collected, small shards really, arrayed in small, custom-built stands across your workstation. If you could only get their power, the light they shed as they quietly shine, to refract between the scattered mirrors correctly-
And then it works. The manufactured crystal connected to all these mirrors and shards lights up, illuminating your workspace. You feel your face spread into a smile of glee, excitement swelling in your chest. Then a heavy but comfortable hand rests on your shoulder.
“You’ve done it, m’boy. Good work.”
The memory ends as you turn to face the source of your praise.
(OOC: While the vision fades before the speaker is seen, for some reason, that voice sounded familiar, as though you’d heard it before but can’t place where)
Loyalty No visions come with this crystal, but a name, “Tobey”. It evokes feelings of safety, security, warmth, and love. It also fills you with the idea that Tobey will never betray you, he will always protect you, comfort you, and be at your side, through thick and thin, and includes the knowledge that he has as long as you can remember. It feels as though you know the world is a cold place, but Tobey is home, wherever he is.
Note: You're welcome to come up with some of your own, also! Also, if you have any questions about these, feel free to ask!
