Stephenson picks up the device.
[i]Hello! I don't seem to remember who you are right now. Could you refresh my memory, and stop leaving three-week old sandwiches on the ground? Thanks.[/i]
English
-
[i]I could, yes. Check the fridge.[/i] *The old, familiar robotic voice comes over the channel*
-
Stephenson heats up some takeout from the fridge. [i]Now, who exactly are you, and who am I?[/i]
-
Edited by TwiggierTiger22: 10/12/2015 12:49:58 AM[i]An old enemy you would call me. Your name was once Crane, Agent of the Overwatch. Unfortunately, you were somebody else before then. Stephenson, I believe.[/i]
-
[i]Ok, sure. I remember that. I also remember... somebody else.[/i]
-
[i]Really? Do tell.[/i]
-
Stephenson shakes his head. [i]A girl. I remember a girl. She saved my life. Twice now. First time I've loved someone in...[/i] He trails off. [i]She's gone, like Evelyn. And I can't remember her face.[/i]
-
[i]Hmm. She might have escaped the fight you two were in. I saw a trail of blood and some missing clothes. I found you in the corner of the room, bleeding out. She must have thought you were dead.[/i]
-
Stephenson grimaces. [i]It's likely. I shot that... thing that was after us. He's dead, right?[/i]
-
[i]Whatever it was, it's nothing but a pile of dust. Also, I made sure to grab as much as I could before the authorities came. It wasn't much.[/i]
-
Stephenson nods. [i]Good. Dust means dead. Permanently. A body would just disappear. Now, [b]where[/b] exactly am I?[/i]
-
[i]Neo-Centra. An old base of mine. Try to keep it intact until I come back. Also, I'm bringing company.[/i] *The comm tab falls silent with that final remark* [spoiler]You know that post with 233 replies? Moving to there for now.[/spoiler]
-
Stephenson sits back in the swivel chair and flips the holovis. [b]On this episode of [i]Hoarders: Buried Alive...[/i][/b] [b]Them Li-zords is a-comin' for mah kitties!! Even the dead ones in the fridge![/b] [i]Ohhh, that's disgusting.[/i]
-
[spoiler]I'm back.[/spoiler] *In the front of the warehouse, something makes a muted -thump-*
-
[spoiler]Good to hear.[/spoiler] Stephenson perks up. [i]Hello? Anyone there?[/i] He pats his pockets for his pistol and finds nothing. After a frantic few seconds, he secures a rubber camping mallet and begins to search the apartment.
-
"Put that down, it's not like you could hit me with it." *The voice from the comm tab comes from right behind Stephenson. As he turns in surprise a cloaked figure, two red eyes staring down at him, leans against the doorway* "Well? Aren't you going to thank your host?"
-
Stephenson whirls. [i]Oh.. uh... Sure! Thanks for letting me stay. Did you find her?[/i]
-
"Unfortunately, no. She was nowhere to be found. Unless you count a masked klutz. I much doubt your friend was her."
-
[i]I'm afraid not. That means she's... dead, then.[/i] The detective deflates slightly and sinks into a nearby chair. [i]Dang-nabit. Just when I get my life back together.[/i] He chokes up and stares into the air in front of him.
-
"Dead? Highly unlikely. But, yes it is possible." *The figure nods* "Now, can you remember my name? Or is it still just a blank in your mind?"
-
[spoiler]Hue hue.[/spoiler] The detective looks confused. [i]Sorry. It's all gone up here.[/i]
-
[spoiler]I couldn't resist.[/spoiler] "Well, just call me Blank. You can fill it in later."
-
Stephenson starts in his seat and gets up. [i]Actually, I think I know where the girl is.[/i] He moves slightly closer.
-
"Really? Do tell." *The figure reaches up and flips back the hood of their cloak, revealing a full-headed, skull-shaped mask.*
-
Stephenson peers at the mask. [i]Interesting.[/i] He grins. [i]Look behind you.[/i]
-
"Hmm?" *They turn, a hand moving towards the pistol at their hip...*
