127 - WHY YOU GOTTA DO THIS, BARRON?

[buywithme]

Comrades, if anyone has had any... uh...

[Pause.]

Comrades, could anyone who knows Barron Sharpe personally, just let me know how they first met him?

[BARRON >C]

Comrade, you know, there are normally people who would be prepared to help you with things even if you don't change their memories first

He is a man of honourable, albeit not entirely wholesome reputation in the city-state of Lormyr. As I would imagine you would know, if you are indeed his warden.

Private

[buywithme]

...I don't suppose he was ever a pirate, was he?

[SIGH.]

Sorry, Comrade, I am his warden, but I'm afraid your memories don't correlate with what his file says. In fact, there are... several people whose memories of him don't correlate with it.

Private

[blackbladebitch]

Well, there was the incident with the Filkharians, but-

Do you mean to say that there is some sorcery at work?

Private

[buywithme]

Yes, Comrade. Barron...is able to manipulate people's memories, the things that you remember about him never happened.

They'll fade after a few days.

Re: Private

[blackbladebitch]

Can you offer proof of this claim?

Private

[buywithme]

Well... everyone but the pirate replied to me in private, but I could show you my journal in person if you wanted to see the replies of the other people he's done this too?

Private (feel free to assume this happens and Elric is not a happy camper as a result.)

[blackbladebitch]

You will forgive me, I hope, if I insist on this proof.
