[protagonized]

[When the video feed clicks on that morning, it's clear Alice? is distressed, and perhaps a little distraught. He can't sit still; he shifts uncomfortably even as he looks at the screen.

The mask is gone; he runs a hand through his hair distractedly, letting out a short breath, a not-quite-sigh.]I can't be the only one who...who forgot who they

[Man, why does he always get suckered into talking to the depressed amnesiacs?]

Nope, you wouldn't be the only one.

[Video]

[protagonized]

[You know you love the members of the Amnesia Sucks club.]

Well...that's good. Did you forget too...?

[Video]

[tsundere_ojisan]

[At least Alice? isn't a spoiled brat. :|a]

No, but I know someone without a past. Or much of one, anyway. As far as Vatheon's concerned...well, let's just say I wasn't out and about. My joints can't take the cold and wet very well.

[Don't believe him, Alice?!]

[protagonized]

[That would require spoiling. :|]

Really...? Why doesn't he have a past?

[...This face.]

You don't look that old.

[shard_finder]

[She smiles at him but she looks confused as well.]

No...you aren't the only one. I lost memories of this place but not who I am, but I know I talked to others who completely lose everything of who they were.

[protagonized]

[He can't quite manage a smile back.]

...Oh. So...was it just another curse?

[shard_finder]

I...guess so. I know that the clothes and the masks were a curse because what else would they be, but the memory thing? I mean it did effect a few people so I guess it makes sense that it was one or part of one...

[protagonized]

...If it wasn't, what could it have been? Do...do you think this place can mess with our memories?

[Voice]

[first_scorned]

[ ... A soft sigh. He's in an empathetic mood. ]

No, you were not alone. And some of us are normally... quite good with our memory.

[Voice]

[protagonized]

[It's not visible, but he nods anyway. And is perfectly content to switch over to voice.]

...At least it wasn't just me.

Well...Are you alright?

[He doesn't even really...recognize your voice. Well, whatever. He cares anyway.]

[Voice]

[first_scorned]

... No worse than making an utter fool of myself, I suppose.

[ He kind of wants to kill himself right now. His voice is tired. World-weary, really. So different from just a few days ago. ]

You have memory problems, don't you? You're the one the angel is looking after. Alice.

[ A pause, and... his tone is wry. ] At least this time, you didn't die.

[Voice foreverrrr unless otherwise stated]

[protagonized]

...Everyone does here at some point.

[Huff.]

It's like we can't get through the month without being embarrassed somehow.

[He pauses, hesitant.]

Yeah, that's me. You're...?

[He can't quite put the voice to a face. And--]

...Well, I'm glad I didn't die too.

[girlpowertouka]

Hey, Alice-san. And no, I think everyone did. You okay?

[protagonized]

[Sigh.]

Fine. I'm fine.

What about you? You're alright, right?

[girlpowertouka]

[She doesn't believe you. But she nods.]

I'm fine. It was scary, though, you know?

[protagonized]

[He nods.]

I know...

But it's over now, so...it probably won't happen again.

[I hope.]

[video--action, if that's okay baby :3]

[shibuya_rave]

[Alice?. He saw him on the street and barely exchanged more than a few words with him, and that hurts. If this has shown him anything, its that; he was wrong.

His memories do make him...the good.

And the bad.]

Alice?, I'm outside you're door now, okay? [He knocks sharply.] If you're in there, let me in.

[Action] <333 Always, love.

[protagonized]

[He doesn't move for a moment, but eventually, he does stand and open the door.

But he's silent.

This hurts. It really does. Losing his memories again and again, no matter for how brief a time, when they're all he has--

And his identity. He swallows.]

That's...

['Not my name'. But he can't get up the courage to say so. It's all he has.]
