[ For once, Angela is using her device intentionally. And she is not happy. ]

Whomsoever is responsible for the rash of memory loss that is sweeping across the quarantine, I demand you step forward and reverse this, now.

[ TWO of her siblings are affected by this; it is unacceptable. ]

Have we not suffered enough, under the thrall of the artifact some months ago? [ She means the Temporal Chalice, which altered the lives and histories of so many here in the quarantine. ] Come forth and answer for your crimes. Reverse this plague and return our city to a state of peace.

[ Or else she'll cut you down where you stand, being the implication. ]

This one's not on me, just putting that out there.

[He'll accept blame for the chalice nonsense, but he has no idea what's going on now.]

[hevenly]

Very well. Have you any idea who is responsible?

[spellslots]

Nah, as far as I got it figured out it's not any kinda magic, and it's not like uh, there's a creature back home that erases memory? But it's not that either. So, you know, working on ruling shit out, not so much on what the actual cause is.

[Not the most helpful, but he's trying??]

[hevenly]

[ She nods. ] Good. Continue your efforts. Perhaps there is a logical explanation behind this.

[ In the meantime she'll just?? continue to intimidate people???? ]

[spellslots]

If it helps at all, people can relearn the shit they've forgotten, but I dunno how bad it is for whoever you know that got hit.

[Lup forgot how to cast spells, which is kinda shitty, but not the worst thing.]

[hevenly]

What if the thing they have forgotten seems to be the entirety of their identity?

[spellslots]

You mean like, they've forgotten everything?

[hevenly]

He did not remember his own name.

[spellslots]

Fuck, that's rough.

[A lot worse than Lup's.]

That's a lot to relearn but uh, maybe it'll pass? Most of the weird shit here seems to.

[hevenly]

Mm. Perhaps it will. Do you know of any ... magical methods of restoring memory? In the meantime.

[spellslots]

You know what, let's find out.

[The feed cuts out for a moment, as Taako wanders off to find Lup, using his transmutation stone to cast panacea.

When he comes back, he looks frustrated.]

Well that didn't work and I just wasted eight fucking hours.

[hevenly]

[ In the meantime, Angela has been out and about, teaching a memory-less Nico how to use a sword. When Taako replies finally, she herself seems tired and frustrated, too. ]

It was worth a try. At least now we know magical restoration has no effect.
