So I decided that amnesia sucks and I'm done with it.

[Well, that's... one way to announce being back.]

It's no fun at all. It seems neat and all in stories, but at least in stories you don't forget only the exciting stuff.

So you know what, I'm just not doing that anymore. I don't know how anyone else puts up with it. No more amnesia for me. It was so boring, I'm pretty sure I willed it to stop.

[Claire, that's not how that works... He actually sounds like he believes it, too.]

Anyway, looks like I've missed a lot 'round here! Gonna need to catch up again. But hey, I got plenty of free time.

Oh hey, it's you! I wondered why you'd stopped showing up! I guess that was quite a disappearing act, huh?

[cestlavino]

Well hey to you, too.

[He remembers this girl, at least. Which is good, since he didn't actually make many connections during his time on the network.]

Yeah, that's one way of putting it. Though generally I like to be in on my own tricks. Unless... I guess maybe this act was so good, I fooled myself? Ha, now that'd be something.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Ha ha, the sign of a true master.

You still performing at least?

If nothing else, forgetting things likely protected you in a certain regard.

[cestlavino]

Which I'm sure some people would love. But me, I never asked for protection. So, gotta say, I'd rather keep on remembering.

[radiantchicken]

Just make sure you remain aware of your surroundings. The mafia's been unusually busy as of late.

[Lily blinks. She looks surprised, but also tired. These two are unrelated but still noticeable.]

Well, wasn't expecting to see you again. Are you still in Vegas?

[cestlavino]

Yeah, I am. It's where I live and work, after all, even if business hasn't been as great lately.

...You look like you've seen better days. Rough time?

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Well, glad to see you made it through rising mountains and giant monster crabs unscathed, then.

...more than a little though, yeah. Still... not as much as other people, so I guess I can't complain...

[Looks like vampire girls are a thing. And she seems to come complete with a slight Romanian accent.]

I hope for your sake you have powers... With the Mafia out for our blood, you'll need them.

[Video]

[cestlavino]

[...Well then. How 'bout that.]

Uh. Define 'powers'... 'Cause I'm not sure what I have qualifies or not.

[scarlet_devil]

[She's perfectly aware of the clichés and all that. But in the end, it's not so bad if it means she'll stay young and beautiful.]

Well then, would they be any use in a fight?

[onecream_fivesugar]

Oh, hey there!

Good call on the whole amnesia thing and welcome back, whoever you are!

Video

[cestlavino]

Well thanks, miss whoever you are!

If you ever feel like you've forgotten something, just do what I did and make yourself remember again. Seems to work!

[Claire, it most certainly did not work like that. Stop.]

[onecream_fivesugar]

It's Miss Robyn, just so you know.

I'll keep that in mind, I think it'll be a huge help when it comes to finding my shoes in the morning.

[ghostly_heiress]

You mean you forgot your echoes?

[cestlavino]

Yeah, I did. Just went right back to normal life without realizing I'd even forgotten anything.

I don't recommend it.

[ghostly_heiress]

It was rather bothersome. I had it happen before, but it was only for about two weeks.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I don't think you get a choice about when and what you forget. Isn't that the entire definition of amnesia?

[cestlavino]

Then explain how I remember everything again.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Did you consciously wish 'I want to remember' over and over again?

[greenisthenewblack]

Not gonna lie. That random amnesia thing scares the crap out of me. I don't plan on participating if I can help it. [Sheila does not like the idea of a big chunk of her memories being wiped away like that. The logistics nightmare of it is bad enough, but at this point it'd be like losing a part of her identity, as well.]

My roommate's recently recovered, as well.

[cestlavino]

I guess on the bright side when it happens you don't know enough to know anything's wrong. But I gotta say, it was really weird to have someone I knew both on and off network talk to me about stuff I didn't remember anymore.

...I mean, I just thought he was being crazy like usual, but still.

[Not a farfetched theory, really.]

Wonder what makes it go back and forth like that. Doesn't make any sense, does it?

[dragon_blossom]

Ew, yeah, I've just lost stuff from traveling between barriers and it sucks ass. So fucking glad we have teleporter thingies. So, uh, welcome back and all.

[cestlavino]

Thanks, I appreciate the welcome and-

Wait did you just say teleporters? We have those now?
