℗ oo3. an experience worth mentioning

[quits]

Is there any theory as to who the castle weeds out of those crazy events? I'm not complaining about a five day cruise and shopping experiences, but it seems like being in the situation everyone else ended up in wasn't what normally happens.

I was under the impression that the times the castle sends people away it's just a location, but now we have to be concerned about our own memories? [Pepper is not a fan of any sort of brainwashing.]

Everyone's okay now, right? There aren't any side-effects that have come from that sort of memory tampering, are there?

It's the weekend. I let you sleep in, but I'm coming up there now and if you're not prepared for me, you have ten minutes.

It's pretty random, unfortunately. And our memories aren't always affected. It ... depends on how the castle's feeling at the time.

[quits]

That's unfortunate. You would think there would be a pattern of some sort.

[imnot_likeyou]

The events used to be a lot more ... dangerous. Not that I'm complaining, but there was a point where the castle tried to kill us once a month. It hasn't been that way for a while.

[quits]

Kill you once a month? That... that's horrible.

[imnot_likeyou]

It's been a lot more relaxed as of late.

[quits]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[imnot_likeyou]

I'm not sure. Depends how hard it comes back when it decides it's done relaxing.

[quits]

Sounds foreboding.

[imnot_likeyou]

It can be. People have died before. There's a two week turnaround and they come back, but it's still a death.

[quits]

That's horrible!

[imnot_likeyou]

That's ... the world?

[quits]

People do not come back to life in two weeks in the real world. At least not in the one I'm from.

[imnot_likeyou]

No, they don't. It's ... a lot to adjust to.

[quits]

Which proves my feeling that it's horrible.

[imnot_likeyou]

Sometimes it can be nice?

[quits]

I guess I'll have to wait and see. Either way, thank you for the information, it wasn't something I had been made aware of before.

[imnot_likeyou]

No problem. I'm Sam.

Pepper Potts.

[imnot_likeyou]

If you have any other questions about the castle, I'd be happy to answer them.

[quits]

I appreciate the offer and I'll probably take you up on that.

[imnot_likeyou]

Good. Then I'll see you around.

[quits]

I hope so.

I'm always prepared for you, Pepper.

[ Also, he didn't really sleep in. Too much to think about, too much to do. ]

[quits]

I'm sure you are. [She's half-way up the stairs to the tower as it is.]

[loisfuckinglane]

Memory havoc is far from new around here, unfortunately.

[quits]

I'm starting to get that idea. It's not my favorite thing to learn since arriving here.

[loisfuckinglane]

Do you actually have a favorite?

[quits]

There's a city within a ten minute walk and it seems like the air quality is really good. [Not a lot of pollution here.] That's all I can think of right now.

[loisfuckinglane]

I won't burst your bubble with the part about the citizen of said city being mindless drones, then.

[quits]

Mindless drones? That's not a good sounding thing at all.

[loisfuckinglane]

They're not as bad as they sound. But beneath the surface... they're not really all there.

[quits]

Is there anything else I should be aware of when it comes to finding things in the city?

[loisfuckinglane]

Depends on what you're looking for.

[quits]

[She exhales at the thought, it seems a bit daunting, if she's honest.]

Can I get back to you on that?

[loisfuckinglane]

Take your time.

[quits]

I appreciate it. I'm just trying to find my footing.
