The Megamycete absorbs the memories of all life within its reach, but there are laws which govern this world within it. It seems worthwhile to catalogue them as they become apparent.
1. The "memories" that comprise this realm do not strictly reflect reality.
2. Only those who are attuned to the mutamycete in life retain control of their faculties here in this realm.
This aligns with my understanding of the Megamycete as revealed to me in its visions before my death.
Yes. My death. My physical body is gone, absorbed into the Megamycete. And yet I do not despair, for this fate has granted me fascinating insights. All those years I strived, have continued to strive, they are not for nothing.
The memories, the consciousness, understanding, and knowledge I accumulated in life have transferred here to the Megamycete, where it serves as a source of power within this realm. If I can harness this power, I believe I can use it to affect the thoughts and memories of others.
Of course, it's hardly a perfect arrangement. With so many minds and memories gathered here, finding and retrieving a single person from amidst the rabble has proven an immense challenge.
Her memories are here, yes, but dissolute. Perhaps what is needed is the right vessel into which to hold her.
And of course, I know of the perfect vessel, the only real candidate in all my years of searching: Rosemary Winters.
