W5: MONDAY

[malewife]

[ Where is Bradley? They are bumping into each other with Niah, the wolf daemon, sniffing him. ]

[battling]

[Bradley is right at the doorway to the mountains. It's not quite his preferred level of chilly, but it's approaching it.]

[malewife]

[ Niah, seeing the mountain, runs through the doorway while Joonghyuk simply stays here to stare at Bradley. ]

Bradley Bain.

[ Usual greeting. ]

[battling]

[He is so Oz shaped, but he is not Oz.]

Lookin' around at the new places?

[malewife]

[ Is Bradley thinking that right now... ]

... Yes. [ Mm. ] You saw the note in the lobby?

[ They can check out! Mountain! ]

[battling]

[No, but Nero would be.]

The one about losing their memories of Thursday night?

[He's walking in.]

[malewife]

Yes.

[ He crosses his arms. ]

This is the first instance this information showed itself.

[battling]

There was the artist a few weeks back. He didn't seem to have any memory of it.

[malewife]

Miyoshi Kazunari. No memory despite what he said when convicted?

[battling]

[It's been weeks and my ooc memory is shot.]

That's right.

[Sometimes you just keep losing!]

[malewife]

[ MIRA HAS SAID WE CAN RETCON A BIT OF THIS. ]

As you already know, Diluc Ragnvindr remembers. I can tell you that another killer also remembers. Both were possessed.

[battling]

[Tiredly rubs his forehead.]

So they're possessed and they got the potential to forget. But the forgettin' only happened once?

Think it's true information?

[malewife]

... Cloud Strife's memory was strange after he was revived. It could be similar with Sheila Hammond now that she's back. Another theory is a late attempt on covering for Aikawa's killer in the case they were movie scripted.

If those are not relevant, it makes me wonder if someone wanted to garner sympathy.

[battling]

She seemed aware when I was pressin' her to answer. [It didn't seem like a memory scramble, but my pcs are waiting. Aikawa's memory script is going to confuse me forever.]

They didn't think possession was enough?

[malewife]

Possession should be enough. Not having a choice speaks for itself.

But this week… Is a strange week.

[ He somehow has forgotten the effect. ]

[battling]

Yeah.

...

What week are we on?

[malewife]

[ …………… ]

The fourth.

[ SAID WITH SO MUCH CONFIDENCE ]

[battling]

Huh. These things always did feel fuckin' long.

[But also there ARE memories MIA. How can he check?]

[malewife]

For our lifespans, they should feel short...

[ ... ]

But you're right, it feels longer than four weeks. [ wait. IT'S COMING TO HIM. ] Never mind. It is the sixth week.

[battling]

[He doesn't have to worry about his kids dying every single week. It's usually like 2-3 times in a season, that's way less stressful.]

... How'd we forget that?

[malewife]

[ oh... joonghyuk is used to watching multiple people die in a minute... ]

... I don't like it.

[ He has no explanation? To forget?? Niah comes back, confused and looking at them both. ]

[battling]

[ That's happened to him once and he doesn't really want the repeat. ]

It's the hotel, ain't it?

[malewife]

[ Thinks about it. ]

... Still better than sharing memories.

[battling]

[He liked some of those memories! The last time this happened he forgot Nero. This is terrible.

He looks unsettled.]

This happened near the end of our run. We encountered this thing that only took memories of people we cared about.

[malewife]

This… thing?

[ He already doesn’t like how it sounds cause of the focused memory loss. ]
