[u]_How do I think? Do I?•[/u]
The courtyard was empty, quiet, and perfect. There was no one, no creature not a single living thing. Only Banshii. His eyes were a warm yellow, like an old light bulb on the last year of it's life, as he stared up at the sky, riddled with stars of all colors of the spectrum.
"New file...Number 1180."
"_Date: November twenty-fourth. Thanksgiving, as the humans and other creatures call it. I am thankful for this opportunity, to regain my memories, and I am also thankful for...sentience. I do not believe I would be here tonight without it.
End file."
He didn't know how he really felt about any of what he said he was "thankful for". As a machine, would he ever know for sure? That was a question he had asked himself thousands of times, and he had even asked others just as many. He still has not found an answer.
"...At least it's quiet..."

[b]The sound of walking was hurt, and approaching was a woman with snow white hair [/b]
-
Banshii didn't get up to look at who was approaching, he only turned his head to look. His eyes illuminated the ground next to them as he got a good look, after, he looks back at the sky. "Hello."
-
[b]The woman walked up, sitting by him and looking up at the stars [/b] "Hello."
-
"Do you like stargazing too?"
-
"Yes. Reminds me of how much space and life there is out there."
-
"...Indeed." He sits up, looking at the woman next to him. "So, who are you?"
-
[b]She remains seated, looking up [/b] "Who am I you ask? I am The Lady of Time. Zora. And you are -" [b]She stops [/b] "You are- I cannot locate your name."
-
He seems...confused "Is that an ability you have?"
-
"Yes. And no. I know all that come through here. And I know their history. Yours is cloudy."
-
"Is it because I am a machine? Or because I have no memory?" She heard a subtle spark from him
-
"I believe... I believe it is because of both. I can not read machines well, but your memory is fazed."
-
"Strange. Well, my name is Banshii. Current operator: Number one."
-
"Banshii. Interesting."
-
"Why? Does my name mean something to you?"
-
"I knew a man code named Banshee once. A long time ago."
-
He sits back down, silently. "Well I am not that man."
-
"Was it long ago? Or is it far from now?" [b]She drifts off into her thoughts, talking to herself for a few moments [/b] "Oh I'm sorry. Forgot you were here."
-
"You are...an interesting woman..." Banshii pauses in thought for a moment. "With your abilities...could you help me recover my memories?"
-
"Perhaps I could. Perhaps."
-
"Really?!" He seemed excited and quite joyful at her answer, that he might finally have answers.
-
"I will do my best. I cannot guarantee anything however."
