[Hello, Abax City. Have a perplexed Erik looking at the screen. His face looks a great deal younger, no longer wearing the wear and tear of his life about the edges. But there is still intelligence shining in his eyes, determined to ferret this all out.]Hallo. Hallo? Ist das auf? Das ist lächerlich. Ich scheine zu vergessen, wer ich bin zu haben.

[ What's up, mind-wiped Erik, have your mind-wiped son. Though he's just more backdated, not completely blank. ]

It's going around. I've got more than a name and a helmet, though. [ The last he has is eating breakfast with the foster family. ] Just want to know when June became December.

A bigger question for others.

You are?

[Come come, son.]

Alex Summers. You can't figure a last name?

[ He pauses, chewing at a lip in thought ]

You wake up near the freaky white tree too?

Lehnsherr. I was told to look to you for some assistance, but you won't be much help, I fear.

[Nods.]

I did.

[ He gives a tight-lipped, apologetic half-smile as he shakes his head. ] Nope, sorry. Can't say I remember a 'Lehnsherr.'

Came to on the ice. Some weird lights were around, but that's it.

It was near the tree for myself. Had this ridiculous thing on, for reasons unknown.

[He taps his helmet.]

[doomhoops]

[ Squinting at the helmet ] Not exactly what I'd call stylish.

Lights in the water and a weird tree. Sounds like fantasy book stuff.

[token_vengeance]

No, but it must have some use.

It truly does. Reminds me of the stories I would read as a child.

[A beat.]

Or, at least I think I read.

[doomhoops]

Well, it's a helmet, so... trying to protect from something falling on you?

[ Or would that make entirely too much sense? ]

Most people did. Probably safe to say you did too. [ Because he feels kind of bad for you, dude. ]

[token_vengeance]

I'm not exactly sure what would fall on me. Or what I'd be doing for that sort of thing.

[He shrugs. Don't feel bad for him, Alex. He'll get you later.]

[doomhoops]

Dunno what else a helmet would be good for. Besides making you look like a dork.

[ Maybe the person he was before was one of those crazies that put on tinfoil hats to protect themselves from the Martians. So close, Alex. So close. But Charles would probably be offended by you calling him a Martian. ]

[token_vengeance]

...I don't know either, but I think you should watch your tone.

[Yep, he has no idea why he needs to put Alex in his place.]

[doomhoops]

[ And what is this strange urge to mouth off in retaliation, hmmm ]

My tone can watch itself just fine. You said it yourself, man.

[token_vengeance]

And I don't really need to hear it back, kid.

[doomhoops]

Sorry, gramps, my bad. [ His tone is not very sorry. ]
