Editing All Roads/Session 19 (section)

==What Isis did inside Isabelle's mind==
ST:	Her mind is incredibly disorganised and erratic as you jump into it.

ST:	Memories don't seem to bear connections to one another, or threads of time and causality.

ST:	Everything's just a jumble with no mental relation to one another.

ST:	Which makes it extremely difficult to realise sequence and piece together continuous events.

ST:	Some are buried, and others are damaged such that they are barely recollections at all. 'Blank space' memories fill a large amount of the gaps, seemingly endless copies of Isabelle wandering alone; created when her terrible short-term memory suddenly loses all sense of time and begins a new 'recording' cycle.

Isis:	Isis quietly casts the spell over and over as each instance's duration runs out, slowly accumulating a better understanding.

ST:	Though you recognise them as individual memories in their own right they seem to string together infinitely to Isabelle.

ST:	Despite the problems, however, you find what you are looking for eventually.

ST:	They're still difficult to decipher, but in one memory you see Isabelle watching Lucy, who sits looking terribly bored as she tries to read a book.

ST:	The young girl seems unaware of the ghost watching her.

ST:	There are a number like this, and in each Lucy does not acknowledge Isabelle in any way.

ST:	One sticks out against those, it's Lucy screaming as she stands over her own body, Isabelle trying to comfort her but crying streams of tears herself.

ST:	The scene is as your saw it in the end of your vision; Jean heaving against the wall, Lucy's body nearby.

ST:	The last memory you dig up pertaining to either of them is Isabelle and Lucy standing in the apartment's bedroom, before it has been burnt.

ST:	Alastair is busy picking over the place, though looks intensely nervous. He doesn't notice the two of them watching. Lucy looks furious, her face twisted in rage far worse than a girl her age should be capable of.

ST:	Isabelle is pleading, but the words don't seem to be remembered in the memory. Alastair's breath begins to fog and suddenly the window cracks, causing him to jump. He looks around quickly before making some arcane gesture, his eyes becoming milk-white and deadened. He then looks right at the two.

ST:	The memory cuts there.

ST:	Amidst the jumble you manage to find Lucy's full name. Lucia Garennier.

Isis:	After starting out with her most pressing questions Isis roams farther, trying to assemble a more general picture of Isabelle.

Isis:	As Isis makes connections between memories and identifies the contours of the puzzle so to speak she begins to trace lines between them in notional space.

Isis:	Connections of silvery light like the threads of a spider's web, or when seen from a distance an enormously complex Atlantean rune.

Isis:	It's not much, and maybe Isabelle would feel better not remembering more than she does ... but knowing is always better than not knowing. And this is after all almost all she can do for the poor ghost.

ST:	From the collection you get you manage to piece together an overall image of her and her life.

ST:	A middle-class child she grew up in a good home and as she got older she was a fairly average student in school. In her teenage years she startted to act out, and her relationship with her parents soured.

ST:	She went to university as soon as she could, and there she met a guy who she eventually dropped out to live with. From there it went downhill, drugs and alcohol taking over her life.
