mem_more_mihsMaurice sat at his desk writing steadily with both hands, as usual. His door was open, which meant that he did not mind being disturbed, as usual. He was as ever ready for visitors whether personal or business related, as usual.
Only very rarely were any of these conditions not met. Being one of the more sociable Memory Keepers it often fell to him to pass on messages to the rest of the group from outside forces as well as those inside. Still, he didn't mind the responsibility, it was almost always a pleasant surprise when he heard somebody knocking on the door.
"Come in," his effeminate and gentle voice called out with a smile. He didn't look away from his page though, he was so close to finishing it that he simply could not.

Date: 2012-09-18 08:00 pm (UTC)"In any case, you and I unwent the same tutelage - indeed we all did - instructing us how the formatting and archiving of memories would go. Although the method has changed slightly in practise than it was originally taught in theory, it is much the same. Indeed, the method of editing and caring for memories is something that we actively regard and thus something that remains fresh in the minds of us."
Attiké folded his arms over his chest, continuing on as if he wasn't speaking and using every word know to mankind in what could be a simple conversation. "By Forces Memory, Birth and Death we were taught that memory is a personal thing - unique if you wish - and that as we work we must cross reference and work hard to keep it as such.
"For example, the memories of an individual who experienced a trauma in childhood involving a swimming bath, will clearly remember anything involving large bodies of water more clearly than some other experiences experienced in their life; and so their memories must be trimmed and treated with that in mind. Personal. Am I correct in this?"

Date: 2012-09-18 09:51 pm (UTC)"So we are agreed, we received the same learnings on the manners of recollection. This leads us on to the fact that we each are in charge of our own memories, given the opportunity to tend to those as we see fit. Is this correct?"

"I have been informed that I am perhaps quite over-zealous, indeed 'cut-throat' and 'ruthless' in the matter of the records of my own memories."

Date: 2012-09-20 09:05 am (UTC)"The word was said, it doesn't really matter how." He paused briefly.
"For Kitta to say such a thing must mean that he is indeed concerned for you regarding your Memory Keeping methods. What do you think?"
Maurice would have to have Kitta keep an eye on that, he had already decided. If Attiké was telling him this he must have wanted an intervention of some kind. Why else would he come to him and say anything at all? He would make himself the 'bad guy' as he usually did, but that was fine.

Date: 2012-09-20 06:48 pm (UTC)Attiké held up one hand and one finger, as if to stop Maurice from forming a thought he felt was coming. "I am not asking for an opinion on my methods. In fact, my curiosity lies with how other Memory Keepers work. Do they indulge in the exact science we were taught when trimming their own memories; or like me, do they adopt a personal method.
"I have already inquired at several libraries, and so I come to you, Maurice."

Date: 2012-09-21 02:26 pm (UTC)"Personally, I am sparing with my own memories, keeping them as carefully as I would any other living being. It is not in me to eradicate the things I do not care to remember or feel, since I believe learning from them is more important."

Date: 2012-09-23 08:16 am (UTC)He gave a sigh. Those two were so estranged from the others, it was difficult to gauge what the best course of action was when they were concerned.
"I hope the remainder of your survey goes well."

Date: 2012-09-23 05:58 pm (UTC)Attiké gave Maurice a dry look, one eyebrow lifted. "Do not misunderstand my feelings on being an outsider. Merely because I want to know if I remain on the outside or have gained some footing into the group, does not mean that I am trying to fit in and regretting how I chose to maintain my memory.
"However I shall remind Kitta that your doorway is open."

End?
Date: 2012-09-25 08:10 pm (UTC)Attiké gestured with his hand, cutting open a portal to another library, stepping through it without a further goodbye.
