Sooo if anyone else was having memory problems like I was, turns out the oasis near here can fix that if you drink from it. Just be fast, because those weird little cactus guys aren't very friendly... Yeesh, why does every plant here want to kill us?

Anyway, I feel like we need some kind of... storytelling club around here. Me 'n' Eddy had a pretty good time swapping stories from home, and I think it'd help us all get to know each other better if we shared in bigger groups. Just not your research papers, you nerds. I'm talking about actual fun stories! Like movies you liked or just funny stuff that happened back home. Actually have some fun around here for once.

Just because we're stuck in an apocalypse doesn't mean we have to be boring about it!

Anyway, Leon over.

[purplexing]

Oh good, you remember everything now?

[Color him relieved!]

I thought it'd be nice to take a dip but yeah, the cactus things didn't make the prospect very appealing. Some of them kind of nailed me when I was helping Akechi escape, too...

[Yeah, he does not wanna go back there.]

[faceguy]

Yep. Do… you remember everything?

[A hesitant question. He knows Donnie does not like having his brain messed with.]

Are you okay?

[purplexing]

Everything I've already told you, why?

...yeah, I'll be fine. Wing's a little sore still.

[faceguy]

Okay. Soooo... I'm gonna get you a drink.

[brb]

[purplexing]

O...kay?

[Was it something he said?]

[bufudine]

[Oh that's a relief. He'll just need to convince Jack...]

What's a movie?

[faceguy]

It’s like, uh… a moving picture? With color and sound.

[A brilliant description.]

[bufudine]

...Like a serial?

[A TV serial?]

[faceguy]

Uh, well, I've never called it a serial. [The heck kind of old man word is that?] But I guess so?

[saisdoesmatter]

Oh yeah?

Think we could bottle some of it for the road?

[faceguy]

I saw a bunch of jars and buckets down there. We can, just need to avoid those dumb cactuses, unless you want to live life as a pin cushion.

[saisdoesmatter]

Yeah, I'd rather not. But if that water's good for healin' people...

Might chance it to stick my leg in before getting stabbed.

[faceguy]

Did something happen to your leg?

[soldiernoclass]

Sounds good! Count me in. I've got plenty of stories I don't mind sharing.

[faceguy]

Sweet! That's two!

You know, I don't think I know much about the world you came from at all.

[soldiernoclass]

Well, what d'you wanna know about it?

[faceguy]

It's not Earth, right? Do you guys have magic and stuff there?

[Don't worry Serph, Jack does not need convincing.]

Hello. Um. Can you show me where that is? I am surprisingly good at dodging things, I should be okay from the... cactus things. But I would like to remember who everyone is.

[He's gotten fairly comfortable with most of the people who know him, over the past week and a half of not knowing them, but it's still weird.]

[faceguy]

Oh, yeah! I can take you.

[He definitely doesn't mind helping Jack out.]

So you got hit with it too, huh? Bummer.

[wereperrito]

Very much so. Stepping out of my van and suddenly having all the tails and the ears was, well, a little overwhelming, to be honest.

[Worse was the people who clearly knew him who he didn't know.]

Can I meet you now?

[faceguy]

Yeah, you're telling me.

[Try seeing your own heart!]

Sure. I'm by our Turtle Tank. It's, uh, pretty hard to miss!

[undyingcrow]

It's concerning that even our memories aren't sacred here. I shouldn't be surprised, but I am glad to hear that you've recovered.

[He chuckles wryly.]

That being said, I wouldn't be opposed to such a club. It seems like a decent way to ground ourselves in this hellscape.

[faceguy]

Yeah. Dee and I were thinking of making notes for ourselves in case something like this happens again.

[It's about the only way to ensure they'll remember important things in the future.]

And hey, the club can help with that, too! If one of us forgets something, the rest of us can remind them!

[undyingcrow]

It's not a terrible idea. Now that there's precedent, we can't be certain it won't happen again.

[Hmm, come to think of it...]

Having others keep records as a backup wouldn't hurt, either, even if it's not the primary purpose of the club.

[faceguy]

Exactly! It's like, a memory club! Oooh, a Recall Club! ReClub!

[Yeah that may be what he's calling it now.]
