Comments

[retellers]

[ they wave back. ]

How courteous. I would do the same, but I imagine you already know what I'm called.

[papasha]

[He comes to stand up on the bridge nearby, nodding some.]

Fox. I'm Blanca, but I assume you may already know that considering.

[retellers]

[ cheerfully, ]

Well, it doesn't hurt to have confirmation that that's what you prefer to be called, and not, say, a nickname reserved only for those you like.

[papasha]

That's true. Is it why you are called Fox?

[retellers]

[ they just tap their fox mask. ]

We weren't very creative in coming up with names.

[papasha]

That's all right. [He smiles some.] It's easy to remember.

Gives you a code name flare; very mysterious.

[retellers]

Easy to remember was the aim of the game, given our apparent memory problems. [ a smile. ] But I certainly won't complain about having an air of mystery either.

[papasha]

A fan of being mysterious?

[He seems amused by this.]

That doesn't exactly give us a lot of confidence in this situation, you know.

[retellers]

I'm aware. But I can't imagine there's much I could say that would put you at ease, regardless.

[papasha]

Probably not.

[He does not sound very bothered by this?]

So, what do you remember about yourself?

[retellers]

[ they hold a hand up to their chin, as if pondering. ]

I know that I'm human, and how old I am. And I remember general concepts, such as technology.

That's about it.

[papasha]

What about... more personal things? Like your favorite food, your favorit season. Did you lose those memories?

[retellers]

I have some general idea of my tastes as well, yes. Though, obviously, I couldn't name a specific memory of experiencing any of them.

[papasha]

I see. We're in quite the predicament, aren't we.

[Not exactly a question.]

[retellers]

So it seems.
