I made it back home and as long as I'm out of the Forest now my memories seem to be getting better.
Returning back to the base was... Disheartening. It was completely abandoned. Everything was still working, but all of my Towerborn were gone. I had left quite a few behind when I went to see Rioter and I guess with me being gone so long they... Just left. I'm all alone now.
I don't like it.
On another note! I tried food for the first time in a while. I don't normally have much use for money, but it is occasionally useful and so we had a small store of cash just in case we needed to bribe someone or something. I took a few dollars and went to a local restaurant. Some fast food place. I'd have preferred something more fine, but I didn't want to spend too much money and after my time in the forest and the time it took to get back home I was starving so, I settled.
I ordered a hamburger and some fries and well... Food tastes good. I'm assuming this is not a new bit of information for most of you, but you cannot imagine what it's like to taste food for the first time. At least the first time you can remember.
I am smart enough to know I shouldn't eat too much as that will result in a negative impact on my health. I will restrain myself to only eat when I am hungry. I don't have the money to spend on tons of food anyway.
So, that out of the way... as well as various other body related issues it's time to figure out what to do now.
I'm not sure. I'm not going back to the forest... Definitely not. Not without a lot more preparation.
I could probably seek help from The AMU, but they might be mad at me for my little trick with the book and I'm not sure I want to go to The Archive in my current state. I mean there's no guarantee they won't try to take advantage of my vulnerable form to run all kinds of experiments on me.
There's ARC, but I never really looked into them all that much and don't know much about them at all. I think I'm still on my own. I'll figure something out...
Right now though... I think I'm going to sleep. I am just so tired...
