[Don can't imagine why Robert is calling for a semi-precious stone, so he pokes his head in to see what's going on.]

Are you okay?

[semper_cogitans]

[... Oh. Don's house? He can't recall having slept over here. What could've motivated such an unusual decision on his part?

It occurs to him that he doesn't remember a day happening... well, nearly a day.

Twenty-one hours.]

This is bizarre.

[A tad awkwardly:] Do you remember what happened yesterday...? Because I do not. And Hematite is missing... Where could he be...

[i_speak_softly]

I helped someone move furniture.

[That was two days ago, of course, but Don is bad with dates and he hasn't noticed he skipped over April 1st.]

[... Robert didn't name the turtle pendant, did he?] It's just enamel...

[semper_cogitans]

My Pokémon, Don. [Robert says this in a tired way, as though it ought to be immediately obvious.] Perhaps he did not expect me to sleep here. It would not be unusual for him to be at my apartment...

[As for the turtle pendant, Don may notice a conspicuous absence of it - and indeed, an absence of many other things he would normally associate with the scientist. Like his nanocomputer. Instead, there is an ordinary laptop where it ought to be...]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don is vaguely aware that there are some people in the village who didn't use to have Pokemon, but do now. He also knows Robert is not one of them.]

Robert, you don't have a Pokemon. And you haven't lived in your apartment for months.

[semper_cogitans]

...

... What on Earth - [Robert gives Don a positively flabbergasted look at this.]

You cannot possibly have forgotten that much.

[Seriously, Don. He's a bit worried now.]

This would hardly even be the first time you have seen Hematite...

[i_speak_softly]

[Don is completely taken aback by this.]

Robert, I haven't forgotten anything.

[He moves cautiously into the room, intending to check his partner for signs of concussion.]

[semper_cogitans]

[There are none to be found whatsoever. And, instead, an alarming amount of the room's possessions are lacking.]

Well, you can hardly expect me to forget... [Eidetic memory and all.

More crossly:] At any rate, I must locate Hematite. He should be somewhere nearby, with any luck.

[i_speak_softly]

[This is strangely rude and dismissive behavior.]

Do you want me to go out with you?

[It seems unwise to let the scientist wander around alone.]

[semper_cogitans]

[It is, knowing how he is usually...]

If you wish... [It lacks the usual tone, though. Instead, Robert seems more distracted than anything.]

Do you remember how a Magnemite looks?

[i_speak_softly]

Robert, I've never even heard of one.

[semper_cogitans]

[Well, this is alarming. Why is Don forgetting everything?

But... pressing on now.]

Metallic sphere, with screw-like appendages on the ventral and dorsal side, a single large eye with a small pupil, and two large magnetic semicircular appendages at each side...

Electric/Steel type.

[i_speak_softly]

[Don understands this description, but he's having trouble forming a coherent mental image from it.]

Do you have a picture?
