Effect Room: Amnesia

[stealshinies]

[Today, quite a few of the rooms seem to have taken a liking to inflicting some stupefying amnesia. One might still remember bits and pieces of the past, their name, their family, and common knowledge...or one might forget everything. Either way, the effect only takes place once the room has been exited, and then its poor victims are left to wander the halls in their confusion.]

((ooc: so basically, at some point when walking out of a room, your character is inflicted with amnesia! mingle, tag around, etc.~ Characters who tag into other threads don't have to be affected by the amnesia, only the ones making the thread starters do. Effects last as long as you want.))

...you believe yourself to be addled in the mind? That truly is a fearsome concern.

[Now he's worried. Stupid 'friends' and their stupid 'problems' making him feel the stupid 'concern'...]

I know nothing of your medical history, or of what sort of person you were before you came here. I had not met you prior to my arrival here. If your brain has become addled, then I know nothing of it.

[whiterosefoes]

Oh, that's right. Who would know? Maybe I could ask Elly, or Rosenkreuz... if I have a condition, they're the most likely for me to have told.

[dontknowjack]

True enough. Elly and yourself are bosom friends; she would surely know if you had such a problem in the past. Rosenkreuz... might know. I know not.

[whiterosefoes]

Then I'll ask them when I see them. [she pauses, then mutters] If I recognize their faces.

... Do you call her that too, or did I rub off on you?

[dontknowjack]

They're not difficult to recognize. Eleanor is the only girl who can enter this place other than monsters... and her hair stands out. While Rosenkreuz... Rosenkreuz is definitely noticeable. He wears his blue dragon armor constantly, and there is nobody else who can fix you in place with just a stare so effectively.

...most methods of address are merely habitual. I am not so familiar with Eleanor as to use that version of her name while interacting with her. But since you used it, it suffices.

[whiterosefoes]

[Harriet rests her chin in her hand, trying to imagine them. She can almost remember the shape of Eleanor's face, and the image Jack paints of Rosenkreuz certainly creates a good outline.]

Dragon armor and an arresting gaze? Sounds... er... intense.

[...she can't imagine falling for someone that serious.]

I thought it was funny, that's all. Half of the time you go around using my full name, and then Elly is just Elly.

[It seems she's just latching onto whatever she can.]

[dontknowjack]

...heh. 'Harriet' is not easily reduced to a nickname. Unless I were to start calling you 'Harry'...

[Skipping over the Rosenkreuz thing entirely because c'mon, he can't make that guy sound appealing to Harriet.]

What would you prefer I called you?

[whiterosefoes]

...No, that's not what I meant - I mean, you were adding my last name too, sometimes. Like you're a parent or something! I'm just glad you don't know my middle name. Then again, neither do I.

Anyway, just Harriet is fine, I think. Harry... that isn't necessary by any means. [she's definitely making a face at that.]

[dontknowjack]

If you wish, I will try to keep it to 'Harriet'. It's an old habit. Things sound that much more dramatic when you read out their full names, you know!

[He memorized Henry's many future titles just so that he could use them if he needed to be dramatic.]
