...Has anyone seen my shoe?

[Anyone else getting the strangest sense of deja vu?]

[Bryn knows that voice. It's been a while, but she recognizes it immediately.]

Nick??

Ah, yes?

[WHERE THE HELL IS HE? AND HOW DOES SHE KNOW HIS NAME?]

[Bryn's never had anyone come back before, so she doesn't realize that he won't remember her.]

Oh, I'm so glad you're back! Where are you?

[Splee, her friend has returned!]

I am sorry, but, who are you?

[He's cautious enough not to give away his location to complete strangers. Besides he's got no clue where he is.]

[Who was she? Bryn's enthusiasm was cut short at that question, and Bryn bit her lower lip before answering. Had he forgotten like that time he'd died?]

My name is Bryn...I was your friend when you were here before. You don't remember me?

Non.

[His voice is an odd mix of disbelief and 'how much did I drink last night?']

I...I have been here before?

[Oh he definitely doesn't remember anything. Okay. Bryn can do this. She can be patient and explain things.]

Yes, some weeks ago you disappeared, however. This is Holloway's Keep. You might find others, like Alex, will remember you as well.

...

Perhaps you will remember in time.

[Was she telling the truth? Could he trust her? Nick wanted to trust her. It had been a long time since he had friends.]

And this Alex was my friend too, yes?

[If they were friends then-then does that mean they know about...?]

Yes, he was. I imagine he'll be just as happy to see you back here...

[She paused.]

If you would like we could meet and I could get you better up to speed...

[And, y'know, tell him about the fact that she and Alex share a similar gift to him and that everybody already knows about Nick's own talent, or at least, most people.]

[He's got to let this all sink in.]

I would like that.

[And that news might just...freak him out a little.]

I know this is a lot to take in so...if it makes you feel better to just give me what floor you're on I can meet you by the stairs...

[After all, she may know him but he doesn't appear to know her, and she can understand the need to wrap his mind around this turn of events.]

[O-okay. Okay. Um. He gets up, journal in hand and walks over to the door, tugging a bit.]

It is, not locked?

The door? Oh no. I know the rooms rather look like cells but...they aren't cells. We're not locked in them or anything.

Your room number should be on the outside...

[She's just going to gather things together and then she'll be ready to go find him!]

[Okay. Bryn will hear the sound of the door opening and...]

Ah, twenty-one thirty is the number on the door.

[Is that right?]

Reply

brynkitten August 22 2011, 19:49:26 UTC
Second floor then. I'll be right over.

[And she is, being only a floor above. She rushes there, though upon reaching the second floor itself, she pauses, not wanting to seem eager or to put him on guard for some reason.]

[If she seemed eager, it was lost on Nick. His back is to the stairwell she's coming from and he seems to be studying his surroundings. He can't seem to remember anything about this place.]
