12th Joke - Promises Kept [Action]

[pants_yourmove]

[[People had their memories altered. Aaron knows about the brain washing, but this is the first time it really sunk in. It is a lot to think about without all the fake memories filling his head. It is enough to risk skipping school, chores, work, and obligations entirely for the day

[Guess who you wanted to see again. Okay no. But honestly he doesn't even seem to notice you. He's just standing off to the side looking over the town.]

[pants_yourmove]

[[It takes a bit to notice that someone else is there.

Though when Aaron sees him... this face.]]

[hungry_monster]

[Johan doesn't move, he just continues to stand, watching over the town.]

[pants_yourmove]

[[Aaron waits a moment, and when nothing obvious happens he thinks.

Aaron was warned about Johan now. Still, it seemed hard to believe.

Also, Aaron was never the brightest kid when it came to danger. Maybe he'd just talk with Johan a bit.]]

Hello Johan...

[hungry_monster]

[And Johan glances over. He seems to be lost in thought for a moment but then smiles.]

Hello Aaron.

[pants_yourmove]

What brings you up here?

[[It was a good spot to think, though an awkward spot to find a teacher.]]

[hungry_monster]

Just thinking.

[pants_yourmove]

[[Stands up, Johan probably couldn't out run him. Maybe it was time to pry.]]

Did they get you for Valentine's day too?

[hungry_monster]

[Blinks...]

.....Yes.

I believe they did.

[pants_yourmove]

[[So far so good. No need to run away...]]

What did they do?

[hungry_monster]

[Nope, in fact after the initial smile. Johan seems more quiet and distracted then usual.]

They altered my memories.

[pants_yourmove]

Yeah, they got me with that too. Were your memories good?

[[Prying, not sure where to go from here but Aaron liked asking questions at times.

Maybe he could learn why Johan was dangerous?]]

[hungry_monster]

[Johan looks back over the town.]

They could have been worse.

[pants_yourmove]

I guess so...

I think I have a question about it.

[hungry_monster]

What is it?

[pants_yourmove]

How can we tell we are actually who we think we are now... I mean if they can change that and brainwash people to think they live here. How do I know I'm Aaron or you know you're Johan?
