Fiiiiine. But why are the laws this way, and why not change them? Or at least allow for some wiggle room on the easy cases.

And to be perfectly honest this girl wasn't that much of a problem, I mean her efforts didn't even work so her one obsession isn't even a danger to anyone. She could even become helpful as she was. I would have rather we didn't say anything, knowing how out of proportion the reaction is. Oh well, I trust you know what you're doing.

One last question though: If WE eventually gained the ability to put her back together, minus unhealthy obsessions or mind slavery, would that be allowed?

Tell us where this place is and we'll check it out.

 

Sorry bro, but don't please threaten J for something we say or try. Threaten us I guess.

I mean, your probably our first threat to us ourselves ever so props for being that cool. I don't think a mindwipe would work, but you could probably fuck with our vision and shit. Just don't attack people we happen to care about to establish a punishment to us if that doesn't work. That's kinda villainous in the storybook kind of way.

I agree. Also I wanna meet the other leaders before I decide, no need to rush things right?

Nevermind he just tele-told me...

>J walks into Doredia's area and to her old home. It's an apartment building that is several stories high.

Okay he said I lived in.. Ha, 1J.

I approach a girl at the front desk solving some kind of puzzle with her mind.

"Fuck... Fuck.... Oh god dammit.."

She's not even looking at me...

be casually, say "wassup?"
if she has been here longer then you she should at least recognize you.

Ah, let's remember that most people won't know you lost your memory... again. And I'm sure this girl at least sorta knew who you were before so get reintroduced. Get her attention, say hi and ask if she remembers you.

"Listen, I just found out all my memories have basically been wiped out so I'm having a pretty bad day. Now if you'll stop playing with your stupid puzzle I have some questions for you; what do you know about me and where is my old room?"

"You'd better not be kidding me. I'm fucking serious. If I find out your playing a joke I will end your sad life right here and now."

"I'm not kidding, now answer my questions."

The toy stops moving and she stares at me.

"Huh, you are serious. Well I'm glad to see the new you actually grew a pair. Well I got good news and bad news. The good news is I know a bit about you so feel free to ask me anything. Bad news is I saw your place listed as Open For Rent so I had it gutted. There's already some people there but feel free to just waltz into their new house if you want."

just seeing the place should do something. ask if there was anything non-generic in the room.

Gutted? Damn. I don't think looking your old place will do much for you now, even without the mind blanking you'd hardly find it familiar. Ask if the old stuff is dumped somewhere or if it's already been recycled or incinerated or whatever they do here. If it's really gone ask what she remembers about it.

Now then the list of subjects: Your old name, powers, hobbies, your personality, how you dressed, the people you hung out with, places you went to and what she remembers about you when she first showed up. Also what her opinion of you was.

Feel free to just Waltz into their new house. Management just gave you permission, which you can tell them. Then they'll bitch to her not you.

I need to know. You were a criminal?

Ask if she knows where any of your old stuff is.

She stops in front of one of the rooms and walks in. A device on her wrist beeps.

"Fuck... Uh.. Your shit is in the back, don't touch my stuff. I'll be back later."

And with that she's gone. Good, she was kinda annoying.

look through STUFF.

I doubt her stuff is interesting anyway. Let's not risk more annoyance or the threat of physical harm from her.

Anyway, to the boxes!

Nothing makes sense. Your memory, records and material assets. The "mission". Unless if your past self were a criminal. By "crime" I mean something that you know, something that your parents did, something that you represents, something that threatens the social order.

Look through the suff of the landlord of your past self. She may be hiding something.

>Look through stuff

That sounds like a good distraction.

Hmmmm... There's not much in here honestly. Some really nice clothes, a few books with pretty dull titles... Anti Radiation Pills?

you may need those. read the bottle and see what it says. may be time to take one to prevent cancer. and keep digging.

>>365550
it makes perfect sense, the fact that you don't understand doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to everyone else.

Definitely keep those pills. The might be used to prevent taking damage from radiation, or used to counteract damage taken. Either is very important. Hopefully it has directions for us to read later.

Clothes are nice, maybe you should change into some of them right now and get out of the crazy ladies old clothes. Books I think we can just leave here. That pissy geek will probably like them and it'll save on moving around useless weight. But first skim through them, we are trying to trigger memories after all. And there might be something stuck or written in them.

The books. There is something inside of them? A note, a letter. Besides that, there is something more in these boxes?

>>365554
I would be grateful if you could explain that to me.

>>365558
your files are stored in your brain as encrypted files. they can be read an altered by those that know the codes to access them. the memory burnout broke the file as well.
the rest of your post was so poorly worded i can't tell what you were saying. i think it was she must be a ex criminal or something?

>>365551
The pills must be how you and your parents were surviving on the surface. Or attempting to survive in any case.

What are the titles for the books? A change in clothing may be in order, come to think of it, since you don't like skirts.

>>365559
This much I could understand. However, it doesn't make sense. Anyway, it isn't my intention to disrupt, hinder or hijack this misadventure. Just looking for a better understanding of the situation.

You want me to believe that a backup wasn't done, especially when this isn't an isolated occurrence? That third parties don't have ways to identify you, since all information is kept in encrypted files within your brain? That the sensible information about a new Sun Shard wasn't one of the first issues to be addressed? That her coworker, Lae, knows little to nothing about her? That her possessions were simply removed and entrusted to a landlord? That she just survived the radiation that would kill in a day Adora, the most powerful ENC user? That, unless Emril is a big fat liar, there is life outside Central Complex? That she found "Anti Radiation Pills" by chance? You want me to believe in a mind-control fascist that goes as far as to say that he is the law? That we just came out of nowhere, with no memories of past events, on possession of her, even though we're a mysterious and powerful artifact!?

Never expected one of us to be so gullible. I know! Maybe I should make obvious suggestion and stupid comments, or just sexually harass those around us! Anyway, besides the fact that our owner has no guts and morality, the funny thing is that we have little choice but to play along with this madness. Go to art stores in Doredia's place, meet the People under Mark, search for the underground Sun Shard.

Now! That Rubik's Cube! The landlord is the true owner of it? It's possible that some possessions of our coward have been stolen or confiscated.

yes
yes
yes because it isn't sensible it would cause a frenzy.
yes

where does it say a day? i just see that not even she could survive it. meaning that there is no way for her to be immune.
chance? they could have a big ass stockpile or something.
yes, emril is a FACTS oriented guy, i can see him not telling us everything but anything he tells us is the truth.
and yes.

I dunno.. Anyway Lae is pretty much all we got. I mean I don't see any thing he can gain from lying to me.

Oh hey look at this, a picture.

Hey that's a younger me! I was adorable back then! It looks like I just got something I really really wanted.

Sadly this really doesn't trigger any memories..

totally take that. and flip through the books real fast to see if anything is between the pages. then i guess take some changes of clothes and put all the stuff away and wait for the land lady to come back.

>>365593
Aww. Well definitely hold onto it, even if it doesn't help you remember anything else it itself is a memory. Keep it in the math book for safekeeping and bring it along.

Not only gutless and hypocrite, you're a pervert too? Whatever.

Apologize profusely. Your curiosity, and perversion, took the best of you. Now, you have the opportunity to throw a ruse here. Say you were curious about her. Maidenly blush, timidly flatter her taste for lingerie. Finally, call her on a date. I kid you not.

It seems that Dee knows more about your old self than what she shows on the surface. She kept your belongings safe and allowed you to reclaim them, after all. A little alcohol and some seduction may break this Ice Queen facade of hers.

Before I forget. There is a medical label for the Anti Radiation Pills? Something that indicates its duration, modes of use and side effects?

Focus. The feel of using this mask, the image of this mask over your face, the vision of the world through this mask. Any of this brings any memory?
