{4th Snowfall; Voice}

[liberee]

This is--something is wrong. I can't....I can't remember. And Anna, something is wrong with her too. She doesn't remember leaving Arendelle to bring me back. I don't remember why I left Arendelle in the first place. I know the trolls took her memory of my powers, but this....this is different.

[Sure. There are painful memories. But at the same time, Elsa doesn't mean to forget them. But use them as lessons. To learn from those mistakes. But how can she? When she can't recall making them, the reasons behind them? Losing her memory terrifies her. More worrying is Anna. That's what Elsa is more concerned about. Anna has already had her memories replaced before....

Taking a page from Joffrey's book and demanding, claiming authority where there is none doesn't seem to be the way to go. Elsa just wants to help her sister.]

I doubt this is just the two of us affected though. I don't suppose anyone else knows what is going on here, exactly? From what I can tell it's....our memories. I keep forgetting things. And then there are those....Well, I don't think they are ghosts? It seems they might be other travelers? Something to do with Hel and her power to bring us back being interfered with? I don't know. I am not sure if anyone could help Anna, but it worries me. I hope we can fix things. Soon.

It's happening to others as well, Elsa. I don't know what is going on, however.

Are you alright?

[Video]

[liberee]

It doesn't appear that anyone does. I would have thought the gods might have given us some indication they were aware of all this. But perhaps they are busy with figuring how to fix this.

I'm...I'm okay. I mean, considering the situation.

[Video]

[5thchild]

I think so, as well. When something happens, the gods need sometime to figure out what it is.

Do you need anything?

[Video]

[liberee]

I hope so.

[There is a shake of her head at that question.]

Not right now. Besides the obvious of answers. Fixing this. I'm just worried about Anna.

[She's staring at a picture frame when she calls, and it's obvious that she's been crying. The thing is shaking in her hands and her raspy voice is thick with emotion and confusion.]

You're... not the only one, Elsa. I don't know if I can help. My potions only work for here. That's been the problem. I haven't been able to preserve anything between here and home.

I... try to stay calm.

[A photo? Elsa hasn't had anything of the sort herself. The best she had back home was a portrait of her parents. But she no longer has that here, of course.]

So they can't keep our memories of things back home? That is the issue right now. At least, as far as I can tell. Not that I know a lot of magic or such things, really....

Calm. Right.

[Conceal it. Don't feel it.]

Re: Video

[samantha_grey]

[It was something Honir had given, during an old event. She knew that. She just couldn't remember why a picture of her mother had been given. All memories of the woman were just gone...]

I... think something's just wrong. I'm having trouble remembering a lot of things from home, why I was always so mad about my life, how it got so insane. And... it's scaring me a little bit.

[video]

[dutybred]

[so it's happening to a lot of people]

It's got to be something to do with the war. Why else would so many of us be affected?

[video]

[liberee]

You think Thiazi has this power? To affect our memories? I suppose...if there is a way to stop us recalling home to make us indifferent to helping the gods in this war. That could make sense. Regardless, I cannot say I am...comfortable about it.

[video]

[dutybred]

I don't exactly like my memories stolen, either. [hmmm] Do you think a telepath could get into those lost memories if they looked deep enough?

[cyan_maid]

It isn't just the two of you - everyone's forgetting things! All I can think of is trying to write down what you do remember, and hold onto that as best you can in case more gaps show up. As for fixing things for good...

[Jane pauses. She doesn't want to say she's stumped, because a lot of people are suffering because of this, and that's not what anyone wants to hear.]

I think we'll figure something out. We just need to stay calm.

Audio

[liberee]

I have been keeping notes. I'm not sure how much that might help, but...I'm more worried for Anna. She's already had the trolls tamper with her memories before.

[That is why Elsa addressed the network. For Anna. Her sister has already been through so much, to have her memories mess with again like this...it worries and angers Elsa more than anything.]

I'm trying. To keep calm.

Audio

[cyan_maid]

Trolls in Asgard? Or trolls where you are from? [Because the last thing they needed was a band of creatures attacking the city. Jane's just checking, is all.]

We all are. It's not easy, but it's all we can rely on.

[video]

[notsogrimreaper]

People are losing their memories? I haven't heard of anything, but I promise I'll try to help however I can.

You know Anna though? And she's lost memories before?

[video]

[liberee]

It seems to be happening to everyone, as far as I can tell. It's not always readily apparent, unless someone says or asks something and you can't recall the answer.

Yes, of course I know Anna. She is my younger sister. Her memories... [Here, Elsa pauses, biting her lip.]

Her memories were taken by the trolls. There was an accident when we were playing together with my ice powers. I hit her head, and to save her, they had to remove all traces of her memories concerning my powers.

[video]

[notsogrimreaper]

That’s awful… Does anyone have any idea what’s causing the memory loss?

[Ryoji’s frown only deepens as he realizes. Anna didn’t even tell him that she had a sister. He feels ashamed somehow, like he should tell Elsa, even though they’re only casual friends and coworkers.]

I’m sorry that happened to the two of you. I guess here it doesn’t matter what powers you used to have… which can be a good thing.

[For some people, like him.]

[madcuriosity]

People... everyone is forgetting everything all the time now. It's... around this time last season, something bad happened. Something bad may be happening again. Something may be happening and no one can know.

[She woke up in an empty house. She didn't have anyone to turn to in the house and that terrifies her.]

Something is happening!

[Video]

[liberee]

It doesn't seem to be just the two of us, no. Unfortunately. Though I'm not sure I can say for last season? I don't think I was here in Asgard yet at that point.

But yes, it does seem pretty clear that something isn't right. You're not alone, are you?

[Especially with the memory loss and disappearances. She would hate to think of any of the children being alone and confused with everything.]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

No... you weren't here. But Asgard is getting further and further away from anything good and is instead becoming darker and darker.

I am... My house is all empty. Mommy and daddy went to the valley and... others are disappearing.

[Video]

[jocularity]

Something odd is going on with our memories, yes. I have found myself... forgetting things. [Things he doesn't want to forget, either. Things vitally important to him.]

[Video]

[liberee]

Everyone appears to be forgetting things. The important thing is we figure out why. How to fix things. I mean, if there is a way for this to be happening, there must be some way to stop it.

[Video]

[jocularity]

I... I know people are forgetting things. I've noticed it too.

I'd love to find a way to stop it, but I really don't know how. I don't think it's as easy as that once something starts here.

[unforgives]

Our memories? [emily frowns at that, looking genuinely concerned] It's definitely not just the two of you, I've found I'm forgetting things too.

[liberee]

Yes. It appears it is happening to everyone....Or, everyone here at least. I'm not as sure what might be happening with the group that left.

[unforgives]

Yeah, for all we know they could have lucked out in avoiding the issues we're having with memories right now or be going through something else entirely.
