The Void

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

"Yo lady, what's with the hair? It's changin' colors, I see."

[Kennifer]

"Yeah... that's just a thing I can do. I've always been able to change my hair. It's... a lot of fun, actually."

Amanda smiles.

[Cassie]

The closing of the mansion door brings Nephrite to Chris's attention.

"Whuh? Who are you?"

[SmilyCube112]

Amethyst looks at the letter and decides to leave it at the Zeppelin before going into the Mansion to follow Nephrite, who very clearly doesn't want her around. Eventually Amethyst corners her in a room, and she says to Neppy: "Ok, now tell me WHY you're trying to avoid me. I clearly don't remember, so please just tell me. Then I'll leave you be."

Neppy.........thinks about that. "You'd......better........."

Neppy then picks up a small pebble and throws it at the light switch, revealing paintings on the walls.

[Cassie]

"Sorry, but who are you-"

"Theirs is Nephrite-"

Both Chris and Henka immediately notice the paintings. The latter reflexively flings off his fistful of trash backwards in shock, scattering trash.

[Kennifer]

Amanda goes fully into the mansion, trying not to trip on the scattered trash as she checks out the paintings.

[wingedcatgirl]

Loren, still an otter and hanging around by Amanda, observes the paintings.

"... Yeah I dunno the significance of these at all."

[Kennifer]

"Means nothing to me, either."

Amanda shrugs.

[Dookie]

??? Just tries to take one of the paintings off the wall.

---

"They're...just paintings, right?"

[SmilyCube112]

It's no use - The paintings have been screwed in place, yet they all depict the events that shook the Mansion: First one depicts a masked group wandering around the place; Second one shows Nephrite encountering one of them, and being tied to a chair with an explosive in the room; Third one shows a blurred individual walking in and surprised to see Nephrite; Fourth shows the two of them leaving the room, Nephrite being freed; Fifth and last one shows Nephrite and the blurred individual managing to escape the Mansion, depicting the explosion being kept inside the place, yet a few pieces of debris still went flying. However, a piece of debris can be seen flying straight into the blurred individual.

"I have no idea who saved me that day, since I cannot remember. However, I'm convinced it was HER because I recall seeing someone like her in that group." Neppy says, pointing at Amethyst. Those with keen observation, however, can see that the bodily builds of each masked individual from the paintings does NOT match up to Amethyst's build.

[wingedcatgirl]

"Huh. That doesn't seem to track. First off, why are you scared of her if she allegedly saved you, and second, the builds don't match up at all."

Strong words to hear from an otter.

[SmilyCube112]

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Yea - I clearly don't remember being here until now."

[Kennifer]

"Yeah, that... unless she's a shapeshifter with amnesia or something I think it was probably somebody else."

Amanda shakes her head again.

Her hair is a deep plum shade now, straight with bangs and cut in long chunky layers.

[SmilyCube112]

Both Amethyst and Nephrite seem confused now. "What's this 'omneisio' thing you speak of?"

[Kennifer]

"Amnesia? Means you've lost some of your memory, basically."

[SmilyCube112]

"That's crazy! I haven't lost any of my memories at all!" Amethyst says, laughing at that. Nephrite, though, has a different opinion on that.

"Wait, lost memories? Has anyone suffered that?"

[Kennifer]

Amanda shrugs.

"No idea. I was just saying that unless she HAD been here and lost the memory of it, she's probably not the one in those paintings. Especially since it doesn't look like her body type, either."

[Cassie]

Chris busily draws some of the painting's key details, but stops for a moment at the mention of lost memories.

"...Lost memories? I've definitely suffered from that, right Amethyst?"

[Dookie]

“Wait, forget what the paintings are about, who drew them?”

---

“Oh..do you need your memory to come back? Do you two suffer from it? What's your name? Who are you? What are you from?”

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

"No, I haven't lost any memories," Mindy says, "but honestly right now, I kinda wish I will..."

I have definitely. After my motorcycle accident, not much I can remember.

[Kennifer]

"I don't think I've lost any memories. At least, I hope not... that's kind of a scary thought."

[Cassie]

"Honestly, looking at the paintings' contents, whatever happened...doesn't seem much compared to what I heard the Shrine Maiden constantly deals with on a daily basis." Henka remarks, referencing Gensokyo with what he says in the latter.

[SmilyCube112]

"I'm not sure, I think someone else painted them. Wasn't me."

"Well, who cares about lost memories? I don't have any."

[Dookie]

??? walks up to Amethyst.

sus

[SmilyCube112]

Nice job on getting the 400th Thread Post Award. Not as good as the 500th one, but still good nonetheless.

"What do you mean by that?"

"They have a point - You keep saying you haven't lost any memories when others have proven that they have lost some here. So odds are, you've lost some too. If only I could recall who kept me safe that day."
