[ If there ever was a time Tim Gutterson thought he had reason to doubt his own sanity, this would be it. Sure, he’d had a bit to drink last night, but not nearly enough to give him a bad hangover this morning. He’d felt fine, and he had been on his way to the office after leaving his house at half past seven. He had stopped by for a quick takeout

[ Incredibly mopey teenager is mopey and emotionally steamrolled right now... but that voice is enough to get him to reply. It's probably one of the only ones that could have garnered a reaction at all. The only problem is that the voice isn't accompanied by a feeling he wants to expect. ]

... Tim?

[ Tim doesn't recognize the voice, but he doesn't give it much thought and simply responds with a quick: ] Yes?

Y-you're... back?

[ Well, that's the third person so far who seems to think he's been here before. ] Nope. Sorry to say, I just got here.

Who is this?

[ There's a long pause. ]

... nobody. Sorry.

Hold on a minute. Now that hardly seems fair, don't you think? Seeing as to how you know my name and all that, and I don't even know who you are.

You can't spare a moment to explain a few things? Maybe if you told me your name, it would help jog my memory.

[ It seems even more unfair that Tim doesn't remember being here in the first place. ]

... Lowell. People call me Lowell. You... were here before.

[ voice ]

[hellofashot]

Is there a reason why I can't remember?

[ voice ]

[polarisation]

I... I dunno. Hasn't happened before, I don't think...

I'd say I might have hit my head on the way over, but there's not a bruise or a scratch on me, and it can't have been a case of mistaken identity because you called me Tim. Unless of course, that's a coincidence too, then what do you know? Doppelganger, maybe?

... s' possible.

[ He certainly doesn't feel like the Tim Sefton knows... so maybe it's not even the same Tim? He sounds fairly downtrodden at the idea. ]

Stranger things have been known to happen, right? Especially in these parts. [ Or so he's been told. ] For what it's worth, I'm sorry I don't remember you. But if we were friends, who's to say we can't start over?

[ voice ]

[polarisation]

I-it's not...

Don't worry 'bout it.

[ voice ]

[hellofashot]

All right. If you say so.

[ A brief pause. ]

But you've got me curious about my time here before.

Any chance you could tell me about it?

[ voice ]

[polarisation]

I... I didn't know much. [ Just the part where he accidentally turned Tim into a werewolf. ]

[ voice ]

[hellofashot]

Guess you knew me after all. Most people I know back home would have said the same thing.

You been here long?
