What's the deal with people coming back and remembering? How come I don't remember things from before? [Sorry, Sam, but you're the person she knows has been here the longest and she doesn't feel like asking everyone.]

Did I miss someone telling everyone that Fenris is gone? ['Cause guess who went to look for him and didn't find him?]

Friend of yours?

[She pauses...]

Yeah. He was.

[downright]

Sorry to hear that.

It'd be nice if... given the choice, we could opt not to leave.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah? You'd stay or just know people that really like this place?

[downright]

I don't know actually.

Maybe. Maybe not. I've got a love hate relationship with the castle.

What about you? Would you stay?

[msattentionspan]

It's alright. Probably beats whatever I got back home. [one way trip to prison...]

[downright]

How long have you been here?

[msattentionspan]

Over a year -- you?

[downright]

About nine months or so, but this isn't my first time here.

You've got friends from home?

[msattentionspan]

Not sure if I'd call them friends, but people know me.

[She pauses.]

Do you remember being here before?

[downright]

Nope. Brand new experience each and every time.

Where are you from?

[msattentionspan]

Each and every time...

Shit, how many times?

[downright]

So far I've been kicked out of the castle twice. Third time seems to be the charm.

[there's a long sigh as Sam straightens a bit. It's a complicated thing and he's not sure how to explain it to her.]

I don't know. People coming back with memories is a fairly recent thing.

[there's another beat]

As far as I know, people have been showing up here about five or six years? And it's only been this past year that people who remember have been coming back.

[msattentionspan]

Huh.

Do you think the castle's just run out of room to hold all of our shit?

[imnot_likeyou]

[a half-laugh]

It's possible. But in a way, it kind of makes sense. What we thought all along was that the castle was freezing time, and then wiping our memories when it put us back.

Instead, it's just sending us elsewhere and picking up another ... us. There have been multiple versions of the same person in the castle before -- I mean, just look at the Doctors.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah.

[a beat]

What if I read about someone that I met here before and they came back with memories?

[imnot_likeyou]

[There's a pause.]

I think that depends on who. But if they came back with memories, they'll understand if you don't recognize them.

[msattentionspan]

They seem to have been pretty important to me.

I mean, I read the journal.

[imnot_likeyou]

[There's another pause.]

Who came back?

[msattentionspan]

[She shifts a bit, the sound of her chair scooting against the tile echoes loudly in the really open space of the club.]

Reno.

[imnot_likeyou]

[Oh. Yeah, that was ... yeah.]

You two were really close. But Reno was here before I was. He'll get having to start over.

[msattentionspan]

Journal says we were married. [She quickly shifts into the next sentence.] And he knows I don't remember, but it doesn't make it any less awkward.

[imnot_likeyou]

[Sam ... missed the wedding. Oops?]

When I first got here, there was a girl that the previous me was really close with. It was weird, for a while, but we got past it. It just took a little time.

[a beat]

Granted, we weren't married [and he kind of tortured her once] but we managed to figure it out.

[msattentionspan]

[She nods.]

I think it was the castle... [She's not likely to ask Reno for details.]

I'm not the most patient of people.
