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.]

[bufudine]

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

What's a movie?

[saisdoesmatter]

Oh yeah?

Think we could bottle some of it for the road?

[faceguy]

Yep. Do… you remember everything?

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

Are you okay?

[faceguy]

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

[A brilliant description.]

[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.

[soldiernoclass]

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

[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.

[purplexing]

Everything I've already told you, why?

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

[bufudine]

...Like a serial?

[A TV serial?]

[faceguy]

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

[brb]

[faceguy]

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

[purplexing]

O...kay?

[Was it something he said?]

[faceguy]

Did something happen to your leg?

[faceguy]

Sweet! That's two!

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

[faceguy]

[Yes it was.

It'll be sometime later when Leo shows up back at the tank, holding a jar of water in one hand and shaking the other, a scowl on his face.]

Ow... they got me.

[saisdoesmatter]

Yeah, library trap got me good. S'doing okayish but still hurts. Might help ease some of the burned skin.

[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.]

[purplexing]

[Donnie shoves his goggles up, turning away from his work on Leo's battle shell.]

Are you okay?? How bad is it?

[He comes over to check, ignoring the water in favor of looking at Leo's other hand.]

[faceguy]

It's fine! I don't even bleed anymore, see?

[He holds out his hand. Really, they got him closer to the wrist, where he actually has skin to pierce, though it's true that while there's a puncture wound, it isn't bleeding.]

Here, this is for you. [He holds out the water.]

[faceguy]

Ouch. Want me to help you get down there? I can portal us close so you don't have to walk the whole way.

[faceguy]

Oh, yeah! I can take you.

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

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

[purplexing]

[That of course doesn't stop him from checking to see if there's any needles he has to pull out. That hadn't been fun on the receiving end, almost as bad as being hit by the things in the first place.]

But you said "Ow" so you must still be feeling things.

[Once he's sure Leo's all right, he looks at the water. Well, he is pretty thirsty because he'd gotten carried away with his work again.]

You didn't have to go all the way to cactus land to get me water you know...

[Still, Donnie takes the jar to have a drink. A long drink. Okay that water's gone.]

[saisdoesmatter]

Mebbe. M'reaction time's a little off since it hurts.

I don't wanna get turned into a pin cushion though~

[faceguy]

I... well, yeah. I still feel pain.

[It's a big step for him that he's admitting it! Look at him go.]

Wow, that's a funny way to say, "Thank you Leo, you're the best, Leo, you're my champion, Leo."

[And... woooow, okay. That was a big drink! Leo will just... watch, expectantly.]
