[It's not often that Jaime uses the video function, if at all, but when he does? He seems pretty darn ticked off about something:]

So I WAS going to ask if people had experience with technology - specifically futuristic or alien tech - but I think I'll have to put that one on the backburner. Guys? Quick question here: say you remembered you were dating someone.

But you're not sure if you even wanted to date this someone in the first place. How the heck would you even go about it? Break it up? Pretend it doesn't exist? Try to block it out with those weird blue-things I saw about a week ago?

... Seriously. Those weird things are actually just as scary as this memory. I hear they're out and about, so be careful, and y'all? If you run into 'em, just run and get the crap outta there.

[action, private to Booster]

[There's a rather loud knock on Booster's door. Jaime's not too sure if he came at a bad time, even though he sent a couple of messages in advance, but... he figured news like this should be said aloud.]

[ooc | 3% memory regain! Jaime remembers most of the events of Infinite Crisis (which, for the sake of this post, boils down to "Booster kidnapped Jaime from his bedroom in the middle of the night") as well as some of the events in the second issue of Blue Beetle.

(He also remembers what the Scarab is and that it talks to him, but he's been pretty quiet about that.)]

Experience with tech? Yeah, I think I've got that covered.

[dentistwannabe]

Oh yeah... because of your nanites, right? I think I might have something similar to that.

[third_alternative]

Similar to nanites, huh? Like what?

[dentistwannabe]

It's... like a scarab, like the ones in Egyptian mythology. I think you might wanna see this in person.

[third_alternative]

Mythology and nanites, huh?

Sure, I'll take a look.

[dentistwannabe]

Awesome! I'm in 401 at the Suites anytime you're free.

[third_alternative]

Got it.

[And a few minutes later, have a knock at your door.]

Just tell her she's gross and throw mud at her. Girls are dumb, anyway.

[dentistwannabe]

Well, my significant other isn't that bright, but I'll... keep that in mind.

[He'd be more likely to take said advice if his SO was actually a girl.]

[alittleblackmagic]

Huh?... What does being bright have to do with anything?

[dentistwannabe]

... It's a figure of speech. Don't worry about it too much.

[alittleblackmagic]

...

Well, anyway, you shouldn't send the stupid blue things after whoever it is. Not even Relm deserves something like that.

... ah that is more of a mistake on my part with wording ;;

[dentistwannabe]

What? No, no, I meant... block the memory of said boyfriend/girlfriend with the memory of those weird things.

Even sadists aren't that mean.

[youngestboxer]

I can't believe they're starting to move into the city...

[Video]

[dentistwannabe]

Me either. It's getting ridiculous... seeing as I didn't know they existed until that night.

[Video]

[youngestboxer]

...You don't think they'll ever make it to where the hotel and everyone else is, do you?

[Even as he speaks, it's pretty clear he's not super hopeful.]

[Video]

[dentistwannabe]

I don't know. But if they do... I guess we'll figure out a way to defeat them.

[Video]

[youngestboxer]

Is that even possible?

[Video]

[dentistwannabe]

You never know until you try.

[Good thinking on Jaime's part to send messages ahead of time, otherwise Booster probably wouldn't be in. As it is, though, he opens the door pretty promptly.]

Hey, Jaime. Guess you lost your keys when you disappeared, huh?

[action]

[dentistwannabe]

Unfortunately. They kind of placed me in a different room too...

[He laughs, though his smile's fainter than usual as he lets himself in.] Have you gotten a new roommate since then?

[action]

[canthandleacape]

There was Kousuke. Kid around your age, kind of stand-offish. But he disappeared a little before Christmas. I gotta say, though, it's been kind of nice having the place all to myself.

[As is probably immediately obvious from what a mess the living room area is. I mean, check out those magazines (all fit to be viewed by innocent eyes, thankfully) scattered all over the couch, and then there's the dirty dishes just left on the table in front of it, and, gosh, is that a pair of pants carelessly tossed on the giant stuffed beetle in the corner over there, and--

Wait. Giant stuffed beetle?]

[action]

[dentistwannabe]

[Jaime nods politely at the explanation, though he's kind of disappointed he didn't get to meet the new kid.

... Huh, the giant beetle ended up here again? Jaime can't help quizzically giving Booster a Look as he folds his arms.] Is that... the thing I won at the fair?

[action]

[canthandleacape]

[Booster tries his darnedest to look totally innocent, not that he is very good at it. Crap, he totally forgot that thing was there, maybe he should've actually tried to clean up some.]

Oh, uh, is it?

[action]

[dentistwannabe]

It sure looks like it.

[Jaime grins widely, trying to mute his excitement--with much, much difficulty.] Man, I thought you hated that thing!
