Issue #5: I Was A Yankee Doodle Zombie (25% Droning)

[Action 1] 1489 Kramden Road

[Mike was up with a start looking around.  Mayfield, still this hole, still, why was it he thought he had memories growing up here.  Completely nonsensical ones, maybe getting up and looking around the house would help.  Probably not though, it was still a prison.  Putting on his flight ring he let out a breath and

[Awkward long pause.] Fake? What do you mean a dream about living here? Haven't we always lived here? [He's so confused. Most of his memories had been replaced. He keeps getting a memory flash once in awhile about a place he feels like he should be familiar with though.]

That. That doesn't sound right though.

[notasidedick]

Two Face. [He says the name distastefully. Even without all his memories intact, there's something about that name he really dislikes.] Pamela? Oddly enough, this place replaced my memories with apparently her being my favorite ex-coworker. [Weird.]

[boostedfailure]

"Yeah, this place has her as my ex... But. I'm still breathing so I know that's fake information."

[notasidedick]

That sounds kind of awkward. [Not sure he'd want to think he was an ex or dating anyone here. It's bad enough his 'wife' is a ginger.]

"Its the goofy programing the town inflicts on us when we're bad. I'm guessing you got a super whammy amount of it, or, you just don't have the experience with brainwashing I do."

[He's shaking off something the bat family and a green lantern are getting hit by, he's about to get super smug]

[notasidedick]

I feel like we're ten year-olds being scolded when you explain it that way. And I've gone through brainwashing befor-oh. [That came out so naturally. What even. Mouth moves faster then his brain apparently.]

You're sounding pretty smug. But I also get the feeling not everything you one knew had been replaced. I just need to figure out twenty-six years of my life now. Shouldn't be too hard right?

"Actually, I think they tried to do it to everyone, just listen to the phones, just I have so much experience with mind nonsense I was able to shrug most of it off. I KINDA know the reprogramming they want, I mean... I can feel it, but, they forgot something important so, it all fell apart."

[notasidedick]

It seems like the levels differ. It seems some people had been affected completely while others weren't even affected. [Curse your selectiveness Mayfield.] But at least now that I can confirm I'm not going nuts, it makes a lot more sense. Needless to say, I still feel like I'm going a little nuts with everything contradicting itself. But it's like playing a game. [Like Riddler's stupid riddl-why did he think Edward was his upperclassman? :|]

"Good way of looking at it. Honestly I figure my brain has been scrambled so many times that the town didn't quite know how to deal with it so I only got some of it."

Get out Varnish error. You are not wood El Jay.

[notasidedick]

I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but it might be better to not be completely effected by whatever is going on. I think I've talked to a few people who had it worse.

Thanks though. It helps to have others around who can knock some sense into me without literally hitting me to do it.

[boostedfailure]

"Ah hey, its not the first time I've had to tell someone that I wasn't nuts and they are. I should write a book I think. But if you need me, I'm here."

[notasidedick]

I don't know if it would be allowed to get published here. It seems that things here are pretty selective. I'd read it though.

No problem. I think I might check on some people to see how bad they got affected by this.

[boostedfailure]

"If I were you I'd check on your sidekick. Maybe he ended up a nice little helpful boy so you could get some blackmail photos."

[notasidedick]

I'll do so. Hopefully, he doesn't think that he's lived with whoever it is all his life. Snorts.] Nice, helpful, little boy. I doubt that this place would get rid of his snarkyness.
