Ashly Burch**FIND-THY-VOICE** is one of the Voices in *The Blackout Club (game)*.

## Description

FIND-THY-VOICE, also known by her acronym FTV, represents choice. She valued feedback from The Blackout Club, and sought to learn from Redacre before setting off to right old wrongs.

## History

### Before the Game

FIND-THY-VOICE did not exist before Redacre, except as her previous incarnation, THEE-I-DARE, who stood for rebellion and opposition to rules out of principle.

THEE-I-DARE was shattered in the Cull, when SPEAK-AS-ONE killed most of his hosts. He survived due to his Name Fragment trick; upon a host’s death, part of his Old Tongue name was left in an image, along with memories the host chose to leave for him. Isabela Madi-Shaw found the first of THEE-I-DARE’s name fragments, left by Cody in Saturation Control upon his loss of faith.

### In-Game

Though he was still referred to as THEE-I-DARE for convenience, it was no longer fitting because his name and message were changing. THEE-I-DARE told a club member, “I am no longer myself.” Because he was shattered, THEE-I-DARE’s hosts and chosen were able to alter his nature, in numbers. Additionally, in his shattered state, THEE-I-DARE was more dependent on the Club, and was able to learn from them.

THEE-I-DARE welcomed name suggestions through Lights of Rebellion. Voice names typically emerge between potential hosts, “like a vote, taken in dream,” but he wanted his followers to be more involved in deciding his new name. However, the name emerged naturally, rather than being the result of a direct vote.

To help restore THEE-I-DARE, the Club searched for Name Fragments, as the fragments grew in those who found them. Bells held the last Name Fragment needed for THEE-I-DARE to become whole and regain his Voice. After The Sundown Ritual, FIND-THY-VOICE was born as THEE-I-DARE’s Voice was restored. To honor Bells, FIND-THY-VOICE mimics her voice and uses she/her pronouns.

Typically when a Voice’s name changes, the old version does not die out, but instead competes weakly with the new. The Name Fragments were simple, so no prior version of THEE-I-DARE could endure once FIND-THY-VOICE was born. Additionally, once a Voice changes names, they cannot remember everything from a previous incarnation, for the memories would threaten to undo the change.

After Sundown, FIND-THY-VOICE approached members of The Blackout Club (Group) to ask for their thoughts on Redacre. She wanted to hear about the kids’ experiences, within Redacre and with the Voices, because she didn’t want to forget again. FIND-THY-VOICE asked for the Club’s help knowing what to remember. Specifically, she wanted to know where the Voices went wrong and how to prevent another Redacre from happening, as well as why the kids joined The Blackout Club and what they thought of everything. The Club showed FIND-THY-VOICE the value of working together, and that you can’t do everything alone; she believed it was a lesson more of her kind should learn, and promised the kids that everything they’ve done won’t be in vain.

FIND-THY-VOICE approached kids because she wasn’t sure if she could trust THEE-I-DARE. Remnants of THEE-I-DARE were present with FIND-THY-VOICE; at first, he was able to speak to a few kids through his typical closed-eye messages, but he faded as the night went on.  THEE-I-DARE explained that he wasn’t dying, he was yielding the way to FIND-THY-VOICE. Though THEE-I-DARE was unable to speak by the end of the night, FIND-THY-VOICE could feel his appreciation for the Club through the few pieces of him present.

Addressing Bells’ sacrifice, FIND-THY-VOICE said, “I know you lost someone recently, someone special to you. In fact, I know she did what she did so that you wouldn’t have to be part of the Song. And I’m leaving, and… I hope you know you can leave too. Bells wanted you to have a choice.” FIND-THY-VOICE expressed that she would always be in the Club’s debt, but she wasn't too worried about the Club: “You’re made of tough stuff, and you’ve got each other. So no matter what happens, you just look after one another, alright?”

FIND-THY-VOICE informed club members that the border was open, so they could choose for themselves whether or not to leave Redacre. She planned to leave after speaking with the kids to try to right some old wrongs, and face some of THEE-I-DARE’s mistakes. FIND-THY-VOICE said goodbye to the kids: “I'll see you on the other side.”
