sheep_game | Well, that was easy (?)

Really?

I feel like everyone I've talked to is suffering from it. I'm not sure I've met anyone who doesn't have amnesia.

[ Maybe everyone is a liar that lies to him. ]

I know some have forgotten portions of their memories. An experience that meant something important for instance. But I do not believe most have total amnesia.

Oh... yeah... I'm not sure I've met anyone with total amnesia.

But then again, I haven't met that many people in general. And it's not a question I start conversations with, so... who knows.

No, it is an unhappy topic of conversation, so I imagine no one is eager to discuss it. As for myself, I am glad most do not possess complete amnesia. It is somewhat vexing.

That's what you're dealing with?

It's not just memories of a certain person or timeframe?

Unfortunately not. I lost every single memory I possess.

[ He heaves a deep sigh. ]

I have gained three back since my arrival, but what I do know comes from context clues from what I have experienced already, and what Akuki-senpai has told me.

I see.

Has anyone around here tried to fix this? Either by stimulating the hippocampus or, er... magic?

. . . No. I suppose not. At least, I am not aware if anyone has tried. No one has offered such a service.

[She cocks her head, thinking about it.]

...If I manage to come up with a technique that might work, would you be interested in letting me try it out on you?

[ He blinks in surprise. ]

You... do you really believe you might be able to do such a thing?

I'm not sure. I'm not exactly a veterina--[wait Croi told her that term's offensive]-- a doctor, but I do have extensive training in biology. Provided I could acquire the necessary equipment, and maybe if I worked in conjunction with the other medical professionals I've met here, it might be possible.

If nothing else, it seems like it would be interesting to try, and it seems like there are a lot of people here that might benefit.

[and this place is a gold mine for test subjects!]

Getting the equipment might be a challenge, though...

[ She was going to say a veterinarian. ]

I... I believe I should specify that I am not actually a cat. Blood Fiend did this to me.

[ He lifts a hand up to his chin. ]

Red may have the necessary equipment. If you should like, perhaps we could ask him together for what is needed.

[Hold that thought]

...Blood Fiend turned you into a cat?

That is correct. He won't really speak much on it, but it is the same for Miss Sonata, too. He became cross with us each at some point in time, and then after... this seems to be the result.

[EVERY DAY SHE LEARNS SOME NEW STUPID THING ABOUT BLOOD FIEND. she really wants to spike that guy straight into the trash oh my god]

...And he can't, or won't, undo it?

Uhm... perhaps?

[ He doesn't know the answer to that one actually. Is he unable to undo it...?]

It can be a little bit of a pain when it comes to bathing and clothes. However, at the same time, there have been some positives, too. So while I would like it removed before going home, at the moment, I would like to keep it.

...What are the positives?

[ He ticks some things off on his fingers. ]

I seem to be faster, stronger, more agile, and possess greater stamina.

[ He glances back at her. ]

Nothing superhuman. But since gaining these ears, I have noticed the differences. I could easily carry someone now, for instance, whereas before I might have struggled.

Wow, really?

[Not what she expected!]

That's one hell of a weird power...

--But let's get back to what we were talking about before. Getting equipment from Red.

Oh, right-

We must be careful. Red-san can be quite unreasonable at times. I do not actually trust anything Blossom says or does though and would rather not go to her. Red-san is at least honest about being terrible.

His prices seem so steep, though. Is there some better way of negotiating with him? Some kind of leverage we could get?

He told me I had to die in order to get something I asked for once. He is incredibly steep.

[ He sighs in thought... ]

I do not know much about Red in general. He is a scoundrel, so I dislike associating with him very much.

What do foxes enjoy, though?

. . . Mice? Meat?

Sorry, he asked you to die?

[That's so much worse than hand-holding???]

What did you even ask for?

A spell that allowed me to breathe underwater.

[ Augh... he hates thinking about this actually. ]

He wanted me to be drowned and then kissed once the last of my life had drained away. And, if you will, he said resuscitation after was simply optional.

D...Did you do it?
