Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

~I know I'm rather frail, but I wasn't blind yesterday!~ She feels the hood flip up, but blinks. She looks at Noelle with her glossy grey eyes. ~Noelle, I'm scared, where are you?~

Noelle: I'm right in front of you!

Crystallux: <A report. It seems your memory is returning to normal.>

453

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche cries. ~What do you mean "returning to normal"? Did something fuck with my head again? W-who-wha-why?!?~

454

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Noelle: Don't cry...

Pianis: I think whatever memory magic is affecting my Cryogonal is spreading to you now.

Crystallux: <Please confirm the veracity of this statement: Your name is Caroline Davis. You are a Psychic type Pokémon trainer affiliated with the J-Team. If you believe this information to be correct, there is a 100% chance of memory restoration.>

455

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche nods. ~Yeah, that's all true, what the hell's going on? Where am I, what the fuck happened to my eyes?~

456

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Pianis: What?

Crystallux: <Confirmed. Welcome back to us, Psyche.>

Pianis: You're making no sense.

Crystallux: <The area we are currently in seems to induce changes in people and wipe memories. Others have been affected by this phenomenon, including my own trainer. There is a 90% chance that others in the J-Team are also affected. However, the cause is currently unknown.>

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Town, a hotel

-Paula checks into a room-

Paula: Just gotta wait for them to get tired of searching. Then we can just slip in when they're too sick of looking around to actually notice us.

-She grins, glancing at the compass-

Paula: Dunno why they didn't pair old Fawkes up with anyone, but sucks for them--

-The window slides open, and a figure with a vaguely feminine face obscured by a masked helmet jumps into Paula's room. The intruder regards Paula coldly, speaking with an evidently disguised voice.-

Helmaroc: Paula Jaide.

-Paula crosses her arms-

Paula: Can't get any privacy, I see. Don't you know it's rude to walk in on a lady in her own personal quarters? What if I'd been indecent?

Helmaroc: I don't have the time for jokes. Surrender, or I'll use force to detain you.

-Paula puts a hand to her chin in mock-thoughtfulness.-

Paula: Hmm... how about "no"? I don't feel very cooperative toward intruders.

Helmaroc: Then I won't be cooperative toward thieves.

-At stunning speed, Helmaroc transforms into a dark-colored bird and rushes at Paula. Grinning, she ducks away from the attack, pulling out an obsidian dagger and slashing at the dark mass, not looking back to identify it further. Helmaroc tumbles out of flight and quickly transforms back, clutching a now-injured arm.-

Paula: Tsk, tsk. The Queen really does make things too easy, doesn't she?

-She laughs, and falls backward out of the window. She's caught by a Togekiss, who carries her away.-

Helmaroc: Gack... can't be so reckless next time...

-Helmaroc quickly rips off a piece of cloth from the sheets on the bed to wrap the open wound, then leaves as well, clutching the bandaged injury.-

[Spectrum was here!]

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche shakes her head. ~My head hurts... I want to get out of here...~ She turns around. ~...My legs feel strange.~ She stands. ~... I can walk.~

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Crystallux: <A report. Your disability appears to have been changed by this environment. This is most unusual.>

Pianis: I have lost all track of what is going on here.

Crystallux: <This is due to your own memory failing. There is a 55% chance that there may be some method of restoration available to you as well.>

460

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche blinks. ~Well, I guess I remembered due to Noelle... Maybe if they find someone who means a lot to them? Does Pianis have a significant other? I know Mezzo and Ever... But I don't know if he's here. I don't know if anyone's here other than you guys, Dune and Deziree, and... Lina.~

461

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Noelle: Huh? But I don't even know you!

Crystallux: <There is one, yes. Her name is Amanita. Her current status is unknown.>

Pianis: What are you talking about? The only significant other I have had is named Jenna, not Amanita. And she and I parted ways a long time ago.

462

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche sighs. ~But I know you, my dear. I know you quite well...~ She looks up to the sky.

463

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Noelle: Really? Wow... is it because of your magic?

464

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche shakes her head. ~Not magic, my dear. Well, not my magic. Whatever has taken us here has changed us... In another life, we are lovers. In this world, whatever has changed us believes that we are not, that I still have a thing for my ex. As best as I can tell, anyway, judging by Pianis's reactions... And as such, you do not remember me...~ She bites her lip. ~And why you don't remember me, when I remember you kind of hurts...~

465

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Noelle: I wish I remembered you too... you're nice.

Crystallux: <This is irregular. If reuniting with a significant other should restore memores, then memories should be restored to both participants. There is a 59% chance that there is some other factor involved in this process.>

466

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

~...I remember Unown. And being in Sinnoh. Maybe they're related to the anomaly...~

467

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Crystallux: <A report. My and my trainer's last confirmed location was Solaceon Ruins, in Sinnoh. The area is known for its high population of Unown. There is a 99% chance this information is related.>

-Pianis tilts his head-

468

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

~We need to find others who are not missing memories. ...I think Lina is normal.~

469

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Crystallux: <A report. Finding others with unaltered memories is an important goal if we are to discover the cause of this phenomenon. I detect a 99% chance that locating Lina is the most optimal course of action.>

Pianis: You think someone named Lina has the cure to your memory problems then?

470

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche blinks. ~Pianis, I have a sneaking suspicion that attempting to find her will help all of us. Or at least, it can't hurt.~

471

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Pianis: Okay then.

Mezzo: Well then, you have fun trying to get your memories fixed.

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche beams directly to Pianis and Crystallux. ~Should we encourage Mezzo to come with us?~

473

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Pianis: She doesn't have to come with, since she's not affected by the memory sickness.

Crystallux: <This information is incorrect.>

Yukikaze: <Yes, yes. We know. Don't worry, we'll fix you soon.>

474

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Psyche sweatdrops. ~Dearie, Crystallux is not the one with the memory affliction, I would know. I am a psion.~

475

Re: Fantasy Mini-Arc

Flower Field, outside Mezzo's witch hut

Pianis: No, it is, and now it's spreading to you. That's why we're searching for a cure.
