retellers | AUDIENCE: ALEX

We've been meeting. [ he just looks? tired? ] Don't make a big deal out of it.

[ SHE WANTS TO LAUGH. WOLF. YOU'RE ADORABLE. ]

[ she does not laugh though. ]

I won't, I won't. I'm good at keeping secrets.

Thank you, though. For showing me.

... Yeah, well... Not like it tells you anything about me except my hair color.

[ false, glowy eyes. ]

-- And your eyes! They're very pretty.

[ glowy... ]

Don't worry about it too much. It's just... nice to see the face under there. Regardless of how you see your role, all of you are still people under all that.

[ dskljgds? he just. blinks, looking a little flustered ]

... Yeah. I know. I just... Take the mask off, and I'm still Wolf. That's all I've got right now.

Your face isn't a mask, Wolf. [ there's a difference. ]

... Have you remembered anything since the first week here?

... Nothing much. Know I'm an ex-SOLDIER turned mercenary.

[ no one else can hear the caps so ]

That's... more than nothing. Military turned mercenary is... kinda common, I think. I know some people who have been mercenaries.

Pretty popular career path, yeah. It doesn't tell me that much about myself. 'Xcept that getting paid is more trouble than its worth.

Suggests you're a fighter. It means you might find some more clues in any memories that come back about who you worked for, or what groups you were with. Like, um--

[ she pulls out the dog tags she got the other week. ]

Info like this. Maybe you had some sort of identifier as well?

Wouldn't be able to read it even if I did. Like with Bucky or Lup.

[ ughhhhhhh ]

This place is a pain when it comes to the little details.

Like it's not a pain when it comes to everything else, too?

Well, yes. But it's the whole... not being able to explain things to people when they forget them loophole that annoys me the most.

[ have you ever tried to explain to a priest who forgot he's a priest that he's a priest and mostly made of metal? it's not easy. ]
