exsilium | 09 △ VIDEO | FORWARD DATED TO THE 19TH

[ Whoa, who's this guy showing up on your tablet screen all of a sudden... Adam Jensen after surgically getting the shades removed and somehow changing his eyecolor to blue-gray, it seems. He frowns deeply. ]

Hi. I've got something of a weird request. Probably.

[ ...Somehow he sounds different, too. Slightly less gravel, and is that inflection in his voice... ]

Guess I shouldn't be surprised given the nature of this place--or maybe it's really just me and premature Alzheimer's or something, but I'm having trouble recalling some things.

[ He briefly raises a hand--a perfectly normal, flesh and blood hand, at that--to his temple to rub at it. ]

...So if some of the guys I was talking to before could help jog my memory, I'd appreciate it. I'll be... at the precinct, in my office. Working. [ Yeah, still confused, but what can you do. As an afterthought before ending the feed, ]

It's probably a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone's seen or heard of Dr. Megan Reed? Just--

[ Yeah probably not. ]

...Nevermind.

[ And off he goes. Click. ]

(( ooc: forward dated with mod permission because next week will be busy for me! And just as a note, while I might use icons of augmented Adam, that's just because there isn't too much iconable material of pre-augs Adam. Until the end of the event he will have no roboparts or shades whatsoever and look like a completely ordinary human--and a few years younger. ))

[ Being an asshole to this guy just feels right to Adam. YOU KNOW? ]

Why would I lie about this?

Seriously though, it seems odd to forget anything leading up to... whatever might have happened, too. I don't remember going out for a drink, but I'm fairly certain I've talked to you before. Multiple times.

Not that I remember. Was there drinking involved in all of those conversations, by any chance?

I... don't think so. I'm not a heavy drinker and even if I was, my tolerance's pretty high.

[ aaaaaaaaaaaahahaha ]

I'm not sure what's going on. I can't just be imagining things.

Maybe you're losing your mind. [ shrug! ]

...Sure, could be. Considering I feel like that about most things right now.

Do tell me what you think you were doing before last night.

Before last night? That's hard to say... it could have been Laviera's party. Were you there?

Lav--huh? Who's that?

Nevermind, apparently not. Come to think of it, I don't think she much cares for humans, so you probably wouldn't have been anyway.

That's not the point. Who's that person, and where was this?

A rich and beautiful noblewoman with a weakness for a pretty face, and it was back in Aluthsa. Why?

...So you're saying you just arrived here. How the hell would I have been at a party in another's world?

Maybe you're from Wyander. How should I know without knowing you?

I'm not--I'm originally from Detroit. So I suppose we can cross out any 'parties'.

[ Okay now he's just confused. He touches his forehead briefly. ]

Maybe I'm mistaking you for someone else.

Oh, yes? Just how many "elves" do you know?

A couple. Though none of them very... intimately.

[ HE THINKS ]

You're certain, with that spotty memory of yours?

No. But even then, I wouldn't remember, so does it matter? I'm sure good times were had by all.

Well, how am I supposed to know if I should ask for a repeat performance, if I can't remember the quality of the first?

Suppose you'll have to live with the torturous lack of knowledge as it will forever remain a mystery if you're missing out, then.

[ Also that wasn't an invitation Vanadi. ]

We might always try dinner together. Just to refresh our memories, you understand.

[ not sure if want.......

on the other hand, Adam really wants to remember because this is bugging him. ]

... If you're paying.

It would be a shame on the house of Vadarta if I invited you out without paying.

Fine then.

[ Just don't get your hopes up man. ]

Good! Now, I hope you have a favorite restaurant, because -- [ with a laugh ] --I really have no idea where I am.

... Then why don't get to know your new surroundings first, then. I'd rather not waste any time playing tour guide.

[ not least because he's not entirely sure about restaurants and places to go himself... ]
