Okay, so, lemme get this straight.

I don't know where I am, I don't know who I am, and I'm supposed to just sit here in this nice stupid room and ...what?

Just deal?

No. Nope, I'm outie, yo. This place can't hold me in and it sure isn't givin' me the answers I want.

Later.

K have fun.

[xiaolindragon]

I'll be sure write you a postcard.

[theheirofbreath]

Where are you gonna go?

[xiaolindragon]

I don't know. Anywhere but here.

[theheirofbreath]

Umm, I hate to tell you this, but I don't think there's anywhere to go.

I think this city is pretty much it.

[xiaolindragon]

What, is there like some horrible moat or something surrounding this place?

[theheirofbreath]

No I think there's just a big wasteland full of ruins and monsters and stuff...

[xiaolindragon]

So we either stay here or we go and die in a monster infested wasteland. No, really, whose idea was this? What are we supposed to do?

[theheirofbreath]

I think we're just supposed to collect anemoi and get our memories back.

[xiaolindragon]

And that's it? I mean-- [He's frustrated but now he just sounds uncertain. He hates the idea of just sitting and waiting.]

What even took them in the first place, you know? So we could play the stupidest scavenger hunt ever?

[theheirofbreath]

That's all, no one knows, and yeah pretty much. In that order.

[xiaolindragon]

Great.

And this anemoi or whatever. We know for sure they'll actually give us back our memories?

[theheirofbreath]

Oh yeah, it totally works. I've gotten a couple of memories back already.

[xiaolindragon]

Really? No kidding?

[Pauses. He's at least a lot less angry now.]

Guess I can play along for now.

[theheirofbreath]

It's actually not that bad. But if you want to speed up the process, I hear you can find anemoi in those ruins.

I've been meaning to check that out myself someday.

[xiaolindragon]

How far are they, you know?

[Very interested.]

[theheirofbreath]

Dude, there are like ruins and caves and secret temples and crap all over. This place is lousy with them. Take your pick.

[xiaolindragon]

Oh. Pfft. Well in that case, I'm definitely not sticking around. Thanks for the info, dude.

[theheirofbreath]

Well, just so you know, you'll still have to come back. You need to take the anemoi to the lab in the city to get processed or something.

[third_alternative]

So you're just going to leave, with no memories of anything?

Pfft, yeah. That's smart.

[xiaolindragon]

Hey, its better than just sitting around!

[third_alternative]

What makes you think we're just sitting around?

Besides, where do you think you're going to go? It's not like there's much of anything beyond town that isn't full of bears.

[xiaolindragon]

At least I could punch the bears. It'd make me feel better.

[third_alternative]

So...unable to remember anything, leaving the only civilization around, and getting mauled by bears.

You know, I think you're off to a pretty good start here.

[xiaolindragon]

I know. I'm thinkin' of going blindfolded just to make the odds even.

[third_alternative]

Oh yeah?

So how are you going to fight all these osos viciosos, anyway, huh?

[all_onis_are_true]

Yeah, uh, have fun out there. With the monsters and dangerous ruins and no memory of whether or not you can actually fight any of them, I mean.

[xiaolindragon]

I'm not leaving the city, geez. Whatever, I just don't like sitting around when I could be actually doing something.

[all_onis_are_true]

Such as?

[xiaolindragon]

[Why is everyone asking him that.]

I don't know, something.

[all_onis_are_true]

Read a book? Watch a movie? Other exceedingly productive things that will probably involve you waiting around for memories to come back anyway?

[xiaolindragon]

Find out why I don't remember anything and punch whatever did it in the face?

[all_onis_are_true]

Considering that apparently for a lot of people, the very last new memory they had before losing it all was gigantic, really powerful things that may or may not be the cause of their memory loss? Yeah, uh, good luck with that.

[xiaolindragon]

Tch. Like I'm scared.

Whatever, I'm not leaving just yet anyway so it doesn't matter.

[all_onis_are_true]

Ill-informed courage can get you killed, you know.

Well, whatever. At least there seems to be plenty of ways to get anemoi, so it's not like you're really doing nothing.

[xiaolindragon]

Yeah. [Sighs. At least he's calmed down.]

So, whats the deal on that? What's the quickest way to get one of these anemoi things?

[all_onis_are_true]

It seems to vary. Some people just take jobs around the city. Others go out exploring the area. I think the Justice League offers a freebie or two to new arrivals. Those seem to be the main methods.

[youngestboxer]

Good luck with that.

[overwinters]

... Then where are you going to go? If people could just go and leave, they would already have done that, right?
