[Well there's all sorts of people who find themselves in Sirocco with out a scrap of memory to figure things out. However, one probably did not expect to see a Pince-nez set on a bill, or a Duck in a nice top hat]

Well, this is certainly a grand little 'phone'! Too bad 'tis all I got of note. So now that this thin's on. A-hem! I am Scrooge, and I seem to be sufferin' from some sort of amnesia, so those lads at the lab say.

[...That's quite a scottish burr right there]

Does anyone know where exactly this Sirocco is or why we are stuck here?

*Talking duck, meet humanoid fox.*

I'm afraid not. It's all rather a big mystery to everybody.

[number_one_dime]

I was afraid that would be the answer, lass.

[faithful_kitsune]

We'll find the answers when we are meant to, I believe. Meanwhile, the recovery of our own memories is our primary task.

Incidentally, I must say you are the first of your kind I have seen here. I'm certain you will get comments about such, but I thought you may wish to know in advance.

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona doesn't know!

[number_one_dime]

Might I ask... what is a Mokona?

[number_one_dime]

Really, what kind of place is it that a Duck would be so strange a sight?

[faithful_kitsune]

This place, so it seems. I have rather deduced that those who arrive do not all come from the same world. I suppose a number of them do not possess ducks as dominant species. I do not remember enough about my own to know how it is with mine, though I know I myself am not a human like many here.

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona is!

[That is... a very well-dressed and articulate bird.

...Yeah, sure, OK, probably not the weirdest thing Booster's ever seen.]

I haven't gotten a good enough look at any maps to say where we are, but as for why we're stuck here, well, that's mostly a question of practicality. You could try to leave, but I don't think you'd get very far before a monster decided you'd make a tasty snack.

[number_one_dime]

Monsters...?

[He raises a skeptical brow, peering over those glasses]

[canthandleacape]

Yeah, did nobody say anything about that? It's kind of an important thing to mention.

[dentistwannabe]

[Huh, talking animals. That one's kind of new.]

Not sure where Sirocco is, beyond the fact that we live here, but most people - creatures? - stay 'cause of the anemoi that gives us our memories back.

[number_one_dime]

Most mysterious...

[number_one_dime]

Ah, yes - those things that the lads at the lab mention, is what they say really true, boy?

[number_one_dime]

I mean - ach, never ye mind.

How long have ye been here?

[number_one_dime]

I do not believe that was mentioned to my best recollection. Or what recollection that I have left!

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona has been here for... one, two, three... four months! She's one of the oldest new people living here!

[canthandleacape]

That's a pretty big oversight. Well, as long as you stay in the city, you should be fine. Er, normally, at least. There's a little bit of an infestation problem right now, and if you see something big, blue, and lumbering, you should probably run like hell, but we'll have that dealt with soon enough.

[faithful_kitsune]

Ah, but what is life without its mysteries, hmm?

[rookierabbit]

[Talking animals. More talking animals.

...he shouldn't be so surprised anymore.]

We all do. It's part of the reason why we're here, actually. From what I've experienced, anemoi can restore your memories.

[dentistwannabe]

Yeah, very true. It sounds shady, but most people here've recovered memories thanks to the anemoi processing.

[number_one_dime]

So I've been told, it seems no one seems to know how. Don't ye think that's a wee bit suspicious?

[number_one_dime]

So it seems.

[Scrooge rubs his bill thoughtfully]

And is that the only way?

[number_one_dime]

Big... Blue and Lumberin'?

Well, if that seem to be the conventional wisdom, I'd keep my guard up then.

[number_one_dime]

Oldest of the new people?

[mokomanjuu]

There were people living here before who remember things, and then a lot of new people and Mokona came here with no memories.

[dentistwannabe]

If there is, I don't know about it. I wouldn't rule out the possibility though?
