I ... guess I understand. [Probably. It was a weird situation...] Let me guess -- you have amnesia, too?

[airhead_overlord]

Uh-huh. And that card thing I got wasn't very helpful.

[fellpool]

...Yeah, same here. [Wasn't helpful? More like mentally devastating.] I'm assuming you were staring at-- [he points as his ears] --these?

[airhead_overlord]

No, I was staring at your hair. [So painfully honest, but now that you mention it-] ...Are they real? I saw them move...I thought they came off. [Because wearing fake cat ears is normal, right?]

[fellpool]

My ... hair? [He's about to feel self-conscious about his hair as well until he realizes that they have similarly-colored hair.]

The ears are real. So's the hair.

[airhead_overlord]

Yeah. You're the only other person I've seen with blue hair like me.

Do you just have those ears, or do you have ears like me too?

[fellpool]

There's at least one other boy with blue hair. [His words are muttered, as he tries to push away that encounter with his "original" to the back of his mind.]

What do you mean? I only have one pair of ears. [He scratches one of his ears self-consciously.]

[airhead_overlord]

I wonder why there aren't that many...

Well...I've never seen someone with ears like that, so I wouldn't know.

[fellpool]

Well, my card already told me that I was pretty much alone with these ears. I wouldn't be all that surprised anymore if blue hair is uncommon, too. [It would be just his luck at this point.]

[airhead_overlord]

Well, having ears like that is pretty neat. [And your card sounds more helpful than his...]

[fellpool]

You think these are ... neat? [Well, he had resisted the urge to cover his ears, but he wasn't so confident as to think highly of his ears.] But anyone with them would look out of place.

[airhead_overlord]

Well yeah! No one else has them, and they kinda look like cat ears! [And that's pretty neat to him.]

[fellpool]

I think they might be cat ears, but I'm definitely not a cat. [Okay, maybe not "definitely." But he was still holding out hope that he wasn't just some stupid boy's clone.]

[airhead_overlord]

...Maybe part cat? [Why else would you have cat ears, if you weren't part cat?]

[fellpool]

I-- [He deflates a little, sighing reluctantly.] I guess so. They don't feel weird, but knowing I'm probably the only person here with them isn't ... comforting. [Shouldn't you be looking for things that are comforting when you had amnesia?]

Anyway... Who are you? Or, uh, what did your card say your name is?

[airhead_overlord]

Why's that? Shouldn't you feel unique? [Or special? Because Rae here would like to have a pair of cat ears!]

It said my name's Raenef. What's yours?

[fellpool]

My card kinda presented itself in a way that makes me feel a little too unique, if you can believe that. [Especially since unique was unique, and there shouldn't be measurements of uniqueness.]

My name's Leon. At least my name feels right.

[airhead_overlord]

Well at least yours didn't make you feel bad for tomatoes.. [He still feels off about that one..]

And yours is an easy one! It took me a while before I could say it and it sounded right.

[fellpool]

"Feel bad for tomatoes"? What? [Paint him incredulous.]

I guess it depends on how it's spelled... Can you imagine if you couldn't read and you had amnesia?

[airhead_overlord]

Apparently I cry when people eat them. [He doesn't want to try it out to see if it's true..]

Then that would've been really bad...even worse if that happened to everyone. I wonder what would've happened then.

[fellpool]

That sounds pretty unlikely, but what do I know? [Not much, with this stupid amnesia problem.]

We'd probably all be assigning each other names or something. Because we wouldn't know our own names.

[airhead_overlord]

And I don't really want to try it out, just in case..

Those names would've been pretty interesting though.

[fellpool]

You still remember things though, right? It's weird -- my idea of amnesia was that you forget everything. But I still remember what clouds are, that trees should be green, that the sky should be blue. Things like that are still intact.

[airhead_overlord]

Well yeah, and I remember words, and all the important things...maybe we just forgot who we are?

[fellpool]

That's a really selective kind of amnesia. Especially for a whole village.
