The next one was far too easy to hunt down and he laughed, a deep, knowing sound as he shook his head. "Seaside? That's too ridiculous. You can't hide from me."
And he was off again, hands empty-handed, but the scent of his prey stronger.
[ Location: B4 ] [ Tanita ] Fia slowly looked around, and then felt the watching and the pain, and curled in on herself, trying to hide from it, her wings wrapping tight around herself. She was trying not to cry out in pain, so overwhelmed with the pain. Finally, it ebbed, and she looked up. She stared at the fog, and paid attention, listening, reaching, and trying to reclaim the good things, the memories, wishing she could reject the door's words regarding the other things going on.
She moved to get one of the memories, then found herself face to face with a monster.

She narrowed her eyes at the sensation, turning her head sharply as if it would in some way allow her to spot whoever, whatever it was that was watching her. And she would be granted pain for her trouble. It was excruciating and it should have knocked her out but.
But something in her held on. Something in her clung to the pain long after the pain had subsided and this only further served to confuse her. Waking to fog, she stumbled on unsteady feet, trying to find something, anything to steady herself.
It wouldn't take long for her to realize the fog was part of her. And the question that now lingered was exactly how much?
At least she could tell she was a she. Considering her body frame and all. But to anything else nothing came to mind. Nothing except the sensation she was being watched. It sent chills up her spine, and slowly she turned around to see what it was only to be blind sighted by agony.
Then there was fog everywhere, with shards of light dotted throughout the mass of grey. Every time she tried to grasp the light with her hands it recoiled, the fog surging around with anger, hatred, and questions she couldn't even fathom nor have a answer for. All she could do is run, run and hope she could find a way out of this wretched place.
She kept running, until she felt something shift past her feet. Stopping in her tracks, she bent down to grab it, a slim piece of paper that appeared to be torn from a book. It triggered a memory, of the sound of typing on a keyboard, and the roll of a dice upon a board, coming up with strange and fantastic stories.
It was nice, to recall at least something about herself.

[LOCATION - A5 - Toki/Eli - GONNA GET SOME TREASURE]
Eli stumbles into a room glittering with hundreds of crystals. Frantically, she reaches out for them, but can only touch one before the rest simply disappear.
She remembers standing on a mountain in her hometown, feeling like she could take on the world. For some reason, all the loneliness she felt before has faded away--why was she even lonely? She can't recall.

Racing like the wild creature he was born to be the fog parted before Wolf as he solved puzzle after puzzle, annoyance waging war with exultation and fear as hands finally closed around a memory.

Weapon
Howling circled in and around Wolf as a piece of himself clicked back into place. It wasn't precisely of himself because he could tell that it was a distinctly separate consciousness from his own. But it was as vital to him as his arms. In fact, it was very much an extension of them.
From inside the cleared fog he held out his hand and the ancient Mayan weapon appeared from nowhere. There was a sense of approval, familiarity, and the kind of wildness he himself was currently embodying. There were no words but, he remembered, Nokosi never really spoke. He growled, he howled, he snarled, but words weren't his strong point.
That was fine. Wolf was strong enough for them both.
6. InSaNiTy - what have you done??? Your character starts hearing voices and they sound very familiar... (the voices are from their actual suppressed memories).
Fia ran from the spot she was in, and found a new one, rolling onto it with a shuddering shake of her body. She looked around and found something interesting and glittering. Was it another memory? She hoped so, so she reached over and picked it up, her eyes eager and fascinated. However, instead of the feeling of a memory returning to her, she found her eyes going wide and she just sat down in place, shaking in horror as whatever it was overwhelmed her. She found herself looking around, because she heard familiar voices, but she could not see anyone nearby that she thought she knew.
They were were whispering to her, and saying things, strange things, and calling her a name she did not recognize, too.
"Tanita, your father loved you very much, but that horrible boy, George, took him from you far too young... But I promised I would raise you well, and proudly, in his stead, my little love."
"Taniiiiita, here is a gift from Norbert! He sent you... I think it is a plant, Tani! You should raise it and see what it grows into, my dear! He included a note, saying it is a gift for getting into the Academy!"
"That chain mail dress looks wonderful on you, my adorable niece!"
She held her head, and whimpered, trying to make the voices stop, trying to make the memories go away. This was too much, it was overwhelming, and all she wanted was her memories back!
Chris continued into the fog and the further he went the more unnerved he felt. The voices that sounded like memories, tenuous and fleeting, began to get overwhelming..
and then became smothering and insidious. The further he went the more they whispered and plucked at and disturbed his thoughts.
Returning after that encounter with the creature, she sought out to find out more about things. And ended up, well, in some sort of treasure room? She stood stark still for a moment, trying to take it all in before reaching out and...
She became acutely aware that she wasn't always the tired sort but that in fact she'd always wanted to be a parent.

It continued to wander, finding itself faintly sick at the thought that its movement was aimless, drawn persistently towards the pursuit of a goal.
The lack of direction left a strange taste in its mouth - one that it was compelled to speak aloud.
"Sour."

[LOCATION - C5 - Toki/Eli]
Feeling considerably more upbeat, Eli walks straight into another puzzle wall. After realizing that trying to mess with the clocks gives you an mild (and yet unpleasant) electric shock, she looks at it from a distance instead.
If there was a possibility that the fragments she'd gotten earlier weren't all hers, then how could she know if the remaining two were hers as well? This doubt was not very... good for her. But she was going to press on because this fog was getting to her and the door was not helping. Where she found herself next started out as smells.
It was of food. Of meat dishes and pasta recipes. Of hot-off-the-grill barbecues and long-simmering soups. A lovely kitchen in a lovely house. And she could only call it but one thing: Home.
Once again she thought of the fragments, of the loneliness that could be hers, of the children that should have been hers, of the man whose face she didn't know but was hers to love. Was he here? She could only hope.
