EVENT LOG - Amnesia

[lucetimods]

Who: Us!
What: We're, um. I forgot.
When: Now-ish? It ends October 1st, I'm sure of it.
Where: Well, everywhere seems nice.
Summary: Well, I woke up and I don't remember a thing. Oh, wait, this flashcard says, "Post a log".
Rating: I can't remember

Greetings, your name is LUCETI MOD. It seems you've lost your memory. Here's some facts about yourself:

1. You need to post a log about an Amnesia Event.
2. You should link to all the flash cards.
3. Remind people to tag the log like so: [canon] character name
4. Remember to tell them to have fun. Apparently that's a thing?

Hopefully this is all just temporary. Be careful who you trust out there. People may claim to know everything, but you know what they say: Trust half of what you read and none of what you hear. Good luck!

[The less fortunate thing about using Nala for healing is that Mia didn't get a sense of how Adele is doing in general. What she observes must be enough.]

You are welcome to lean on me for support if you feel you need it. [It's not likely anyone else in the village will be in a state to comment.]

[fleurdesel]

I...I think I can manage well enough. It's more mental exhaustion than anything else, really.

[She straightens her shoulders and manages a thin smile. It's not entirely sincere but it looks better than sagging with every step. And it's important to look like you're fine. Isn't it?]

[frost_jewel]

[Whatever it is, Mia hasn't forgotten that Adele was at the very least an overnight patient. There might be more going on than either of them realize. She sticks close.]

If you have other questions, I will do my best to answer them.

[fleurdesel]

Thank you.

[The smile widens and brightens a bit. Answers are always wonderful, especially when all you have is questions.]

This place...the wings. The cards. Is this normal or is there something greater at work, here?

[frost_jewel]

[None of this is "normal" and yet...some parts are less normal than others.]

Nobody had cards like that until this morning. Yesterday you all had your memories. The wings are a part of living here, and so you might call that normal.

[fleurdesel]

I don't think I'm supposed to have wings, but if they're part of living in this place then...[She shook her head.]

I hope this doesn't last. Not remembering is becoming frustrating.

[frost_jewel]

If it is anything like every other time unusual and unwarranted things happen, it should only last about a week. So far no one appears to be suffering memory loss due to medical reasons. [Wouldn't that be terrible.]

And, yes. There is something greater at work here.

[fleurdesel]

This is a regular occurrence; not the memory loss but this sort of strangeness?

[She doesn't know if that makes this better or worse.

After a moment's consideration she decides it's worse. Far, far worse.]

...Who, or what, is at work?

[frost_jewel]

An organization known as the Malnosso, for starters. It is a story so complicated even those with their memories have trouble following. Things like this are regular; most of them are referred to as "experiments".

[fleurdesel]

This is a test to them?

[Did she sign up for this? Was this a voluntary situation? That didn't sit right but it was a possibility, an odd one but still. An explanation.]

What is it they are trying to learn? I can't...how does this help them?

[frost_jewel]

[If only they knew. Mia finds more interesting subtext in her questions.]

What did you think of when I said they were experiments?

[fleurdesel]

If it's an experiment there's a purpose behind them. Something they wish to test, a hypothesis to prove...isn't there?

[That was how it worked, right? Or didn't it. That was the first thing that came to mind, really.]

[frost_jewel]

[So she hasn't forgotten everything. Just...key things. Much like the others.]

One would expect that. I'll be purple in the face before I learn what it is, though, I think. We are...their subjects, their soldiers, perhaps occasionally their co-conspirators. But not ever equals.

[fleurdesel]

If we're test subjects to be experimented on we wouldn't be equals. That is...how the hierarchy works...I think. The separation between subject and scientist is present for a reason.

[That sounds right, at least. She's not certain if it's true. Or how she knows that.]

[frost_jewel]

Yes. In this case things are more complicated, but also far more difficult to explain and, I think, not what you should focus on first.

[Finding someone who might know her better is first. According to her escort.]

[fleurdesel]

We should find my husband first- though I do not know where to find him. If I'd woken in our home it would have been simpler.

[frost_jewel]

[Mia makes a frustrated sound.] If I had thought before rushing out of the clinic, I would have been able to tell you why you were there. [It is, as has been more usual lately, herself she's frustrated with.] I'm sorry.

[fleurdesel]

You were doing your duty, yes? Better to find the wandering patient first and worry about possible complications later.

[That seemed right, somehow. She wasn't certain.]

I...did check the chart at the foot of the bed. There wasn't anything written.

[frost_jewel]

Wasn't there? That is strange. It was also the right thing to do. [Hearing Adele say she was doing her duty is comforting. Mia smiles.] Thank you though. The Welcome Center isn't too far away now, so we should be able to find the proper house soon enough.

[fleurdesel]

It seemed wise. If there was anything vital in the IV I woke with it would be better to know before I removed it, yes? There would have been something written were that the case.

[That's just how these thing worked, or should work, really.]

Good. Having somewhere to go for certain will help my peace of mind a great deal.

[frost_jewel]

[Adele would not be surprised at all at what people will just do in order to escape the clinic. It probably gives her headaches.]

And with any luck, he remembers you and can tell you something more about yourself.

[fleurdesel]

And if we have both forgotten...we'll sort it out should it come to that.

[She sighs, shoulders sagging.]

[frost_jewel]

Please, Miss Adele- [That feels strange; Mia would usually call her Doctor, at least. She doesn't know if she knows that about herself.] If I have learned anything from living here it is that there is always an end to the experiment. I know you'll be fine.

[fleurdesel]

The time between now and then will be all the more frustrating for the lack of memory. Knowing that I ought to be accustomed to this and find myself failing to manage is more than a little mortifying.

[frost_jewel]

I don't think you are failing to manage at all. Really. I would be a mess if I woke up with nothing, but many of my friends have just been...calm and logical. And so are you.
