[sofucked]

Hey. [Lee gives a kind of awkward wave at the camera. He's not good at this sort of thing, not fond of talking to so many at once. But he has something to say that he feels is important.]

The little girl that lived in Thor District with me and - [Who else lives there? He can't remember their names anymore.] Uh, with others. She's gone - disappeared. 'Pretty sure her name's Clementine. I don't know if it's for good or not; some people have come back, haven't they? But, uh. I know she has friends, so I thought you guys'd like to know.

[He pauses here. He knows she should mean more than just a girl he shared a house with. There's a lingering bit of... something in his gut telling him she's important. But hell if he knows why.]

...Uh. I know I'm not the only one losing memories. I don't if there's much we can do about it, but look, maybe any kind of constant reminders from others might help. So. If anyone here knows who the hell Clementine was supposed to be to me? I'd appreciate the hint.

[A bit of an odd request, perhaps. But he's growing frustrated. She could be his damn daughter for all he can remember.]

And if you see her around, if she comes back - could you ask her to get in touch with me? Uh, Lee, that is. [In case she's forgotten him as well.] ...Thanks.

Comments

[intelligently]

I think she's disappeared before.

[ She thinks. Clementine has disappeared before but there's that whole memory thing ]

[sofucked]

She has...? [Huh...] You remember if she mentioned where she'd gone?

[intelligently]

Home. We've talked a few times. She'd been there a while.

[sofucked]

Really? Could be where she is now, I guess.

[He can't... remember if that's a good thing or not.]

[intelligently]

Everyone should get to go home. She was a kid.

[ Clearly Lydia can't remember it's not really a good thing either ]

Did you know her?

[sofucked]

I think so, yeah. Just, uh - having a little trouble remembering how exactly...

[intelligently]

You're not the only one. Everyone's forgetting something.

[sofucked]

So I hear. Hopefully it's not permanent.

[intelligently]

I don't think it would be. I mean, it wouldn't help us help the gods.

[sofucked]

Hm. Makes you wonder why it's happening at all, really.

[intelligently]

What are the chances that we already know that but forgot?

[sofucked]

Heh, good point. I'm not remembering shit, so it wouldn't surprise me.

[intelligently]

That makes being here more worrying. It already seems pretty bad.

[beforethewar]

[Eight knows the little girl is important, but his memory is playing up on him so that he can barely remember who he is, let alone her. Still, he's been concerned as well.]

I haven't been able to find her, either.

I...can't remember who she is, exactly. That's doesn't say much, though. I don't hardly know who I am.

[sofucked]

No, I... know what you mean. It's pretty fucked.

'Wish I could be more help to you, but. [He shakes his head. He feels like he should know who this guy is, but he doesn't right now.]

[beforethewar]

It's difficult to help someone when you can hardly help yourself, I know.

Odd that I can remember things about this city, but not about myself. I remember...is she still on the network?

[sofucked]

You're not wrong.

I'm not sure - [He shakes his head.] I haven't see her on there.

[But those who disappear still seem to disappear from the network.]

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

She was like a daughter to you. And you were like a father to her.

[Video]

[sofucked]

[There's a heavy pause. Lee nods, brow furrowed. That's around about the answer he was expecting.]

I looked out for her? [He shakes his head.] I wish I could remember.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

You did, yes. It'll come back to you. And hopefully she will too.

[Video]

[sofucked]

Yeah.

Did you know her well?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Pretty well. She stayed with us. But Eight knew her better.

[Video]

[sofucked]

Hm. [He currently has no idea who Eight is, admittedly.] But you remember her?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Yes. I'm outside the city. What's happened there doesn't seem to be happening here.

[Video]

[sofucked]

Hm. Anything unusual happening out there? I've heard things about people who went on that trip and got back here - different.

[Like Ghost different.]

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

The ghosts?

[Video]

[sofucked]

Yeah, ghosts. I'm not one to - well, believe in somethin' like that. But that's sure as hell what it looks like.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Then we're two. Not that I've seen them for myself yet.

so so late - audio

[shinybaldhead]

Annoying as hell, isn't it?

[ He's just commiserating here. ]

also late - audio

[sofucked]

[A sigh.] Yeah. You could say that.
