The human didn't dissipate. It didn't move. It just lay there, an unseeing, unfeeling bag of... nothing. He hadn't known what he'd expected, but this was just a disappointment. He wanted to go over and kick the corpse, make it melt into a beige goo or explode into glitter. He didn't. West just stood there wearing his customary frown, thinking about how much better it would be when he killed one himself.

He hadn't known what to think when he had arrived. They were everything he had been taught not to be, a cautionary tale, but here they were, living... thriving. He was going to miss them more than he had ever missed any of his kind before. Of course, they said he could come back whenever he liked and that comforted him some. He just hoped they were still here when he returned.

He called the school the day after he'd received the letter, unable to believe that he was almost free, that he would be getting away from this place with its memories that lurked in every thread of the curtains and smell in the kitchen. And as for her... he made sure he said goodbye face to face, just so he could see hers. She didn't cry or yell, but the sight still lifted his heart.

He was bored.
Ashes2Ashes was strolling along the forest path with slumped shoulders that made his wings poke out at funny angles. He'd yet to see one person to talk to other than a sign post and some delusional trees and his social meter had plummeted into the red zone.
But.. wait, were those voices?
An ecstatic Ashes grinned and made a beeline for the direction they were coming from - only to find himself staring back at a rather dashing fellow in the lake surface.
He didn't need any more convincing than that, he just plunged his hand right in and reached for the first memory.
Quote:
14. Happiness
It was warm. Strings of fire fell from the sky and he laughed, a beautiful birdsong. That was his masterpiece, his soul in melody. He flew circles inside that fire, crying out to the sky for hours.
When he slept, when the lights all went out and the world was in a peaceful darkness, there was no fear. Only comfort and happiness as he rolled closer to the gleaming feathers.
As Ashes2Ashes came back to himself he was smiling, but sobered by the knowledge that he had no idea what that was like. He was remembering a ghost memory, it was never really his.

It was addictive, the need to know and feel things he didn't before. His hands reached out greedily for the water but the second memory was more familiar as it swarmed over him and he fell into a peace as it replayed for him.
Quote:
1. Kindness
"Not like that". There was laughter, the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen. His fingers reached out but the nymph slipped through them with a laugh.
"You'll never catch me if you're that slow." All around him she danced, begging him to keep up, to catch her.. to win. Yet winning would end the game forever.
He still needed her. He still needed her patient, healing touch. He needed her to remind him that he was alive, even though he was dead.
"Come on, come on!"
The memory broke as he laughed and raced after her, in his heart knowing he had never meant to catch her. She had been the first creature to care that he had once been someone, something, anything.
His heart ached, but he smiled.

Ashes2Ashes should have quit while he was ahead. The dark man reached one last time for the lake of memories, drawing up a third and final one to play in his mind.
It was a hard one he would have rather not seen at all..

2. Loss
There was an awkward silence. He had only just become aware of it, but its weight settled over him like a blanket. She wasn't sure if she should meet his eyes or not, he could tell by the way they kept flickering away.
"I have to train," it was a whisper, "you don't need me."
He had never needed anyone more than he needed her. His fingers flexed as he thought about reaching for her, but he didn't. It wasn't like that. She was an anchor to life, she WAS life.
"That's not true." His voice sounded rough to his ears.
"You don't need anything." Her voice was stern suddenly. "Don't make this mean nothing. Live."
She was already backing away to a tree, reaching to disappear through the bark for the very last time he would ever see her. Life left, and he learned to live in the gray.
That was enough. A suddenly somber Ashes2Ashes stood and backed away from the lake, disappointed in himself for not quitting while he was ahead.

"I wouldn't cry over someone like you," she spit back.
"See that's just it, you're emotionally cold. Real freaking ice queen. Do you even know how to feel?"
"Over some pathetic excuse like you? No, never."
Inside, she could feel the pain of it all. How bad it had hurt to lose him. She had loved him, she'd never loved anyone besides her mother. And he'd thought her too emotionally distant to try to break through those barriers.
What was the point in doing it all over again?

She hated him, hated him for leaving her. He'd not even tried. He'd never tried. He didn't care enough to stay. He wanted her to just tell him everything instantly as though she should just love him and trust him.
He was too stupid to understand what that could mean. She wanted to protect herself and he wanted to tear down every freaking wall. The walls were meant to protect her--from people like him.
Screw him if he didn't' understand that. Trust had to be earned. She'd hate him for the rest of her life.
Pinkie didn't remember much about where she came from. Really all she remembered was...popping into existence as a little pink blob. Adorable, if she said so herself! Then it was just a matter of giving herself form. Lots of hips, lots of chest. But short and cute! Because just because something was cute, it didn't mean it wouldn't eat you!
And that was her beginning!

She wasn't necessarily afraid of new places or people. It was that she didn't know if the people would be friendly, or if they would be mean. Or even if they were going to just ignore her entirely! Which was super rude. But whatever. She kept stuck to her hope of meeting new people who could be her friends.

FlukeFiend followed the voices to the lake, his gaze shifting over the area. This place was exactly the same as last time, but he couldn't help but be enchanted by the voices and flow right to the water like before. Stupid lake, he muttered inwardly as his hand reached out for the images. The memories rushed in, taking him captive.
"...He's NOT a demon." Spinar insisted as his family presented his new 'cousin.' Though that wasn't the real reason for his hissed tone or narrowed eyes. The boil they had brought, he was the one, the one he had been playing with in the nearby ice caves lately. The one he had and now this? It was unthinkable.
Spinar refused, his nose pushed up to the air as he turned his back on his aunt and uncle before bolting out of the room. His fathers calls chased him but he refused to turn back. His scareling heart was breaking, it just wasn't fair. Why him? Why did they have to be family? He would never forgive his uncle.

Grey. The whole world was grey. And getting greyer, darker. He replayed it over in his mind. Someone said something awful about his twin. He couldn't have that. He'd seen red, then. But now it was grey. He had thrown a punch and then completely missed the one coming his way. It connected to his temple and knocked him on his a**.
The whole world was grey...

She stayed tucked behind the rock as he screamed. She didn't want her father to find her. All she wanted to do was cry, just be alone and cry. Her mother was gone--he should understand that.
She sobbed for her mother and her little sister. The beautiful future she'd imagined. And all of that wiped away in a tide of red. She loved them, she needed them--they couldn't be gone. She hadn't even gotten to see her sister.
Why couldn't she see her at least before she had to go? Why did she have to go?
Her father's voice was closer and she put a hand over her mouth to keep her from sobbing. I don't want to see him. Please, just leave me alone.
But he found her, and the first words out of his mouth weren't of comfort. "Why are you crying?"

He was just a kid. Maybe four or five. It was one of his earliest memories. He and Cadence had gone to school for the first time, and he could feel all the eyes on them. Twins weren't that common, apparently. He kinda liked it. But then one of the teachers took his sister to another room, and told him he had to stay. He didn't know the reason for it, didn't care. He just wanted his sister. They'd always been together, and until then he thought they would always be together, or at least not far from each other. This felt wrong...and it made him feel...
Empty.

Fear was not normally in her vocabulary. It was not something she was familiar with feeling either. Pinkie was a happy goo girl. She met everyone with a smile on her face and a tendency to make friends. But this one time....whoo. She'd never met anyone scarier. She didn't even know what it was about them that made them scary. She'd been minding her own business when a chill ran through her. She'd turned to look and stopped dead, then quickly pasted herself against the wall of a nearby building. The figure was dark, in a lot of black, which was normal for Halloween, so why was it so scary? She still didn't know. Maybe it was just the aura that came off of it in waves. Awful.
