Molly Carpenter /\ Fifth Veil \/ Video

[padawanwizard]

[ Molly doesn't appear to be any different, on the surface, to those who still remember her being, y'know, her. She does look pretty dubious, though ]

So, is there a reason everyone's acting like something weird's going on? Unless "making people forget what other people were like" is a test and I'm exempt for some reason.

[ she shrugs a little

Hells bells, Mol. [He breathes a sigh of relief]

Thought it was only me.

That a new hoodie?

[padawanwizard]

[ Molly quirks an eyebrow, looks down at her hoodie, and looks back up ]

No? I mean, I know I don't wear it 24/7 or anything, but it's this or scrubs.

[ though to be fair, she does wear scrubs about half the time since the breakout ]

[harry_b_dresden]

Well, I mean, yeah, but...

Wait, that's your only clothes? You were just wearing jeans the other...

Wait.

I..

I recognize that kind of sweater.

[padawanwizard]

Well, since I was wearing it when you met me...

[ thoughtfully ] Maybe it's selective amnesia. You forget little things about other people. Like what they wear, or that they're a magical pony...

[adashofrain]

I have no idea. Maybe they're messing with our heads in a way that we don't know it. This wouldn't be the first time.

[padawanwizard]

Lovely, this place just gets better and better. I'm glad I'm not the only one confused by the confusion, though.

[adashofrain]

I think it's funny.

[padawanwizard]

[ snort ] Yeah, well, it's that, too. But it's a little lame, don't you think? Freaking out over, y'know... how everyone's always been?

[shardsofmemory]

I know-- I don't get it. I hardly feel any different at all.

So, you wanna come over now?

[padawanwizard]

You don't seem any different to me, at least? [ shrug ]

Yeah, lemme change? Scrubs aren't exactly high couture, but it's better than dragging my sleeves in dinner.

[shardsofmemory]

There's no fashion rule in my apartment, don't worry. The food's the important part.

[padawanwizard]

Roger that. [ she flips off a jaunty little salute ] See ya in 10 or so.

[worthyheir]

Something's definitely off, but I haven't been able to use my makeshift Rashinban to figure out what.

[padawanwizard]

Oh no, Mr. Card Games can't figure out what's going on! We're doomed!

[worthyheir]

For the last time, it's not a card game! They're basically magical tarot cards. You can't play poker with tarot cards.

[padawanwizard]

Sure you can, there's suits and stuff, right?

[ yeah, she didn't listen the last two or three times you tried to explain tarot to her, hun, it's not gonna happen this time either. ]

[hung_garian]

Yeah, people always think they're the special snowflake exempt from the memory-fuck tests. But guess what, honey, if they fucked with your memory chances are you're not gonna know the difference. Just a handy little PSA? You're not necessarily who you think you are. Sorry to break it to you, but that bubble was gonna have to get burst one way or another.

[...well, at least it beats the weird happiness. Sort of.]

[padawanwizard]

[ Molly considers this for a moment, then shrugs casually ] Well, I guess that's a possibility. I hope you weren't expecting that to be a dramatic revelation or anything, 'cause I'm not really one for the shock and sobbing.

[video]

[hung_garian]

Don't worry, it's not a disappointment. The shock and sobbing's only amusing for so long. After a while it just gets annoying.

[video]

[padawanwizard]

Pretty much!

So, have you recovered from your cheerful cake cravings of last week?
