That in specific is an indirect message. But anything in a blue box like that is just how communication is handled through the Star Stream.

Um... I'm not sure how to explain the 'Star Stream' to someone who didn't know what a phone was a few days ago. Let's just say all kinds of useful information pops up like that.

In that memory though, it was probably just details pertaining to my abilities.

[ Yeah uh. Kaz looks UTTERLY lost.

He tries to poke at the text box?? ]

Is it magic?

[thefaultinthestars]

[his finger passes thru, unless i guess he clicks the little X to make it disappear]

Sure. Basically? It's not really that important how it works.

[mishandthrope]

I'm trying to understand it.

[thefaultinthestars]

...It works in the same way the stars work, gravity works, fire works.

A scientist could probably give you a good detailed explanation, but I'm not someone like that. This is just 'how the Star Stream is'.

There are rules that govern my universe, one of them is that the Star Stream creates scenarios. People participate in the scenarios to survive, the constellations watch the scenarios for entertainment. These messages are just one of the ways the system communicates numerous details.

[mishandthrope]

[ SIGH ]

Like messages from the gods?

[thefaultinthestars]

If that makes it easier to understand. Sure.

[mishandthrope]

Somewhat, yes.

[thefaultinthestars]

Then think of it that way.

Was seeing one of my memories worthwhile, then?

[mishandthrope]

[ SIGH ]

All information is worthwhile.

[thefaultinthestars]

You don't sound like you believe that.

[mishandthrope]

Yours wasn't particularly useful. But it's not nothing.

[thefaultinthestars]

What did you learn?

[mishandthrope]

Your world is incomprehensible.

[thefaultinthestars]

[grins]

In that case, there isn't much point to seeing more?

[mishandthrope]

I may comprehend more.

[thefaultinthestars]

It's possible.

Does this mean you wanted to go forward with recovering your own memories?

[mishandthrope]

Fine. Yes. To an extent.

[thefaultinthestars]

Alright then. Next.

[reaches out to grab a seed]

[mishandthrope]

[ Take your pick! ]

[thefaultinthestars]

[Dokja picks number 1 and pauses as he watches this new memory, making a little 'ohh' noise at the appropriate moment]

[mishandthrope]

[ Kaz is breathing hard himself as the memory washes over him. More rattled than the memory itself might have you believe. ]

... That was the Black General.

[thefaultinthestars]

He's quite dramatic.

[mishandthrope]

[ A faint snort. ]

He is at that. The most powerful grisha alive, monstrously dangerous.

But even he can be escaped from at least.

[thefaultinthestars]

You were prepared for him specifically? Though I guess carrying around smoke bombs might generally be useful.
