[network] @MarbleHornets; morning 20 [open]

[genreblindness]

[Here's a summary of the last ten or so hours of Jay's life: he woke up locked inside a spooky cold morgue in the middle of the night, suffering from a terrible headache and sensitivity to light that made him want to curl up in the shadows. Then, just as he finally managed to fall asleep, he woke up to a mystery injection with no warning. Then, upon inspecting the tablet he found on him, he discovered he'd recently posted a video on the local network despite having no memory of doing so. A video that made it look a lot like he'd died.

Actually, he seems to be missing at least several weeks' worth of memories. Again.

And just to top everything off, he has no tapes for his camera.

Everything really sucks.

He hadn't planned on making any more posts until he had a better grasp on the situation, but after a skim of earlier posts he feels the need to ask a question.]

Apparently a couple of people here have lost their memories and then gotten them back. Is that a common thing? If there's anyone else who's experienced something like that, please tell me. Thank you.

[Al's voice is even higher and younger sounding than usual in his relief. He knows, logically, that Jay probably didn't survive the other day. But Al's seen people defy the odds before, and thinking that he survived and just dropped his tablet is much more comforting than pondering over a possible revival. So he focuses on that, and the relief of hearing Jay again.]

Hey! You're okay! Thank goodness, Tim was really worried about you... and so was I.

[Memory loss is something Clayton suffered after revival, so it points to that too, but...]

Do you remember hitting your head? Maybe that's what's caused any memory loss.

[Oh what now WHY IS THERE A LITTLE KID TALKING TO HIM. What is this place even.]

Uh, yeah. I'm okay. I don't really remember, like- anything from this place. So if I hit my head, I really don't remember.

[armoured]

Wait, nothing at all?

[He can't deny that he's shocked, he didn't think even Clayton's memory loss was that bad.]

Do you know who I am?

[genreblindness]

Uh, no. No I don't. Sorry.

[He doesn't want to hurt the kid's feelings, but there's not much point in pretending anymore, not after he told Tim just how little he remembers.]

[armoured]

[He feels a little saddened by that, but he pushes it to one side almost at once. Now isn't the time for pity or wallowing, it's the time for action.]

That's okay, that just gives me a second chance to make a good impression on you, right?

[genreblindness]

I- I guess? Did you not make a good impression the first time?

[armoured]

No! I mean, yes, or... I hope so.

[Good job there, Al.]

I guess we didn't talk too much before, but we have a chance to remedy that now. You probably have a lot of questions about this place, huh?

[genreblindness]

Uh... right.

[What is even this kid's deal.]

I do have a lot of questions, but I dunno how many of them you could answer. It sounds like nobody knows very much about this town.

[armoured]

You're right, maybe I don't have a lot more answers than anyone else, but we know at least a few things... or, at least, we've found some clues.

[Though what the clues mean is anyone's guess.]

I guess Tim has been filling you in, right?

[Because surely Jay hasn't even forgotten Tim.]
