[ Anyone Who Has Left and Returned with Memories ]

[He thinks on this filter for a long time. (Whether he should keep himself anonymous or not, whether it's even worthwhile in the grand scheme of things.) But eventually, he writes:]

I have questions, if you're willing to answer.

[ Anyone Who Has Experienced a 'Trip Home', excluding John Watson ]

I'd like to compare notes, as it were. Provided you're amenable.

[Some time later, he'll dictate to the castle at large. There's not much energy in him today; he sounds worn out.]

Give me recipes, residents. Your favorites from your home world, I don't care.

Unless you're from Earth, in which case, don't bother.

What would you like to know?

Filter forever!

[workaphilic]

1. What your experience(s) were like, holistically.
2. What precipitated it/them.
3. How it/they affected your memory. (How well you reconciled time differences, whether your memories of Paradisa were hazy on your "return," any remnants of Paradisa while at "home," etc.)

[At least he's to-the-point, today.]

[He switches to dictation, for ease of conversation. (He's not that nice to Allen, so cheers.)]

I've a few. Nothing personal. I'm concerned with the mechanisms in play, not the content of the memories.

Questions?

Filter/Written Forever!

[workaphilic]

Mostly to do with the process by which your memories came back.

Which batch were you in?

[impetuous]

Sure.

[workaphilic]

[He switches to dictation.]

It's a gradual process, from what I've seen. All the original memories are overwritten with false ones, and then reintegrated bit-by-bit with interaction with residents, emotional triggers, cognitive disconnect.

Roughly your experience?

[technically Percy can see both filters, but he doesn't feel like explaining how he got his Paradisa memories back without getting false ones]

I went home for a few months. What's your question?

[workaphilic]

[He switches over to dictation!]

Not so much a specific question as an interest in the whole experience. [He arrows up to the outline he wrote for Allen.]

[ THIS SHIT IS ALL WRITTEN. ]

That will depend on what you want to know.

[workaphilic]

Strictly functional. I'm interested in the castle's role, not the details of your life.

Written

[heirofficium]

I'm from Earth, but I suspect you've never had a pumpkin pasty.

dictated;

[workaphilic]

Unorthodox, but it sounds straightforward enough.

[whichwayyoulean]

Well, I make a mean green eggs and ham, but most people from Earth won't eat that because they think it's weird or...something.

[workaphilic]

Probably because they think it's diseased. [a beat, then with interest:] Is it diseased?

[truestsciences]

i normally just cook wwhatevver i can catch wwith my lusus an then put grub sauce on it
its really nothin special

dictated forever!

[workaphilic]

[Staring at the journal.

These people again, man.]

Going to assume you define "grub" as something a little more specific than just a colloquial term for "food."

[signedlefthanded]

I went home once.

[workaphilic]

[He'll switch to dictation, too.]

Standard procedure? Knocked unconscious, asleep for a week, indeterminate amount of time passes in your home world, back here without missing a beat?

[Written]

[clockworkchild]

What kind of questions?

[workaphilic]

It's scientific inquiry, not an exposé.
