[ 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.

[ He casts the woman on the screen a critical glance, brow furrowed. ]

I can understand how this may be distressing, but I somehow doubt who- or what- ever is responsible will come forth in the face of mere threats.

But you say something like this has happened before?

[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.

[deathkid]

Wow, miss, is it that bad? Everyone here seems so cool! Are you going to find the badguy and beat him up?

[ oops, guess who's also affected. ]

[ private voice | un: trickster ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki sounds extremely worn out. ]

I do not think anyone will step forward.

[hevenly]

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

[hevenly]

My threats are not "mere" anything. I will follow through on my promises.

[ She sighs, but the anger doesn't leave her. ]

Yes, several weeks back. Many of us lived lives that were different from the ones we truly have lived. We had memories of those separate lives, we were... physically changed, in some cases. [ She was missing an arm, for example. She glances down at the restored arm and makes a fist. ]

It was not a pleasant experience.

[hevenly]

[ This demeanor does not seem to fit her impression of the King of Ghosts. And in fact, he has changed his name on her device. Could this be another situation like Jacob Kane and Romulus? An alternate personality for the same person?

She must tread carefully. ]

If you were not your whole self, you would call that "that bad," would you not? Your loved ones certainly would.

[ She purses her lips, a look of grim determination crossing her face. ]

I will find whoever is responsible, and if it is in my power to do so, I will make them reverse the damage they have caused.

[ permaprivate ]

[hevenly]

[ He reacts with exhaustion, she with anger. And yet they both react. ]

Then I will seek them out where they are hiding.

[deathkid]

[ nico's eyes are less gloomy than they usually appear, there's less of a fatigued air to him, and if anything, he looks more worried than his usual cynical features usually display. yes, it's as if he's de-aged about 8 years. ]

I don't really know, to be honest. I've been looking for my sister, but I can't find her. I don't even know how I got here, either. But if you're going to get the bad guys, that would be awesome!

[hevenly]

I am afraid I do not know the whereabouts of your sister.

[ But she does know him... Sort of. ]

We were pulled here from our own worlds through a multidimensional portal. At present, no one knows how to make it send us back. It is likely your sister is not here.

[deathkid]

Oh, but... I've never been anywhere without her. I'm not old enough to be on my own.

[hevenly]

[ Angela frowns, and a slight crease appears between her eyes. ]

There are those here younger than yourself. Do you... require supervision?

[deathkid]

[ meanwhile, nico is hugging himself, looking frightened. ]

I just... don't know what to do. Without Bianca...

[hevenly]

[ Angela breathes a slightly put upon sigh. ]

If... you like, you can help me in my search for the "bad guy." So you don't have to be alone.

[deathkid]

Really? Cool! I even have a sword (though I don't know where I got it....)

[hevenly]

Do you know how to use it?

[deathkid]

Swing it at bad guys, right?
