[PQ] Quality Assurance Testing

random event Not a mask. The mask. Ludo's mask. As the alchemist slipped it on it would feel almost as though he wasn't wearing it at all, but for a strange humming in his ears that might have been voices. Just because he could not feel it, however, did not mean that the changes were not apparent. Remi would be able to look straight through the barrier. Where once the almost intangible line between the Hollowed Ground and the world beyond was marked by a blur of wilderness beyond the Outskirts... now a gorgeous forest stood in its place. A wall of trees filled the landscape beyond the barren snowfields, a mixture of evergreens and deciduous sprinkled with snow and hoarfrost. It brimmed, too, with life. Small orbs of light danced through the branches and there was movement in the woods, revealing for a moment the flick of a tail or a twitch of ears from some mammal passing by. That was not all, however. The humming would grow louder, more persistent, and if Remi turned then around him he would see, clogging the air around his companions, a swathe of memories ripe for the plucking. Some sparked and leapt with joy or nostalgia; others settled over the person like a veil of mourning. Should he focus for too long on any one of them he risked being plunged, body and soul, into the experience.
