[A brief text message appears on the consoles. It's directed at the Foreigners, but it's not encrypted, nor has Tony disguised his console ID. All that's unusual about it is that it's text: Tony almost always uses the video setting.]

How many of you have been seeing other people's memories? Does anyone know why it's happening? Is it happening to kedan too, or just Foreigners?

Most important question: is it over??

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes, it's happening to others.

[ One highly disgruntled thief over it, too. ]

it's fun, isn't it?

[In case you didn't catch it, Bakura, that was sarcasm. Lots of it.]

[ Oh, he caught it. ]

Should I find it this ironic that for a place which claims we can't keep out memories when returning, it spends a lot of time toying with them here?

not sure, I've never figured out what the right definition of ironic is.

I think I'll keep it simple and just say it really, really blows.

No idea. But I did notice that it seemed to be triggered by close proximity. SH

[ Private beyond this point. ]

I have a small project for you, interested? SH

I think similarity or familiarity is a variable, too. in all my experiences so far, the memories have had something in common with each other. like two similar situations or related events.

[And on the private channel:]

I might be. what is it?

Yes, I did notice that as well. SH

[ Private: ]

I need a tracking device made-small. Easily attached. SH

It is definitely happening to others.

As for the rest, try shaking someone's hand. If nothing happens it might be over.

it feels weird to say this, but the experimental approach would not be my first choice here.

In this case, I can't really blame you.

I have, as of yet, not experienced this phenomenon on a personal level, but I have been secondary witness to other events around the city. I suspect that the telepathic energies of our reptilian host might be a viable lead with regards to investigations, given past experiences and the knowledge that Turtles of this world possess the ability to access one's subconscious. However, I have no definitive proof that this is the case. Only hypothesis.

don't worry, you're not missing much. [The experience has so far been almost entirely craptastic.]

that makes sense, but it also means we probably can't stop it. great.

if it's tu vishan, do you think he's trying to tell us something?

I have memories of Tu Vishan engaging us in communication directly. Past occurrences allowed him to either appear in individual dreams directly with his message, or to send flashes of seemingly unrelated images relevant to it. I cannot be certain what seeing others' dreams may be trying to tell us, if this is the case.

Seems like purge of excess psychic energy from somethin'.

You think about trying the library instead of moping around like you're the only one with bad memories they sure as hell didn't want shared?

collecting data from an affected group about the scope of an event is moping? thanks for letting me know, next time instead of moping I'll sit alone in my room and not talk to anyone about it.

[And then, because he is an adult who is occasionally capable of communicating without sarcasm:]

an energy purge? is that something you've dealt with before? any idea what could cause something like that?

Or you could stop being such a little bitch about it. Next time bring some research in advance and man up enough to use the video function like you normally do.

[For all his being a douche, Penny's more than happy to continue theorizing as well.]

I haven't had to deal with something this big before, but last time I did, it came from an asshole with a lot of power trying to destroy the world. Right now? It seems a hell of a lot less deliberate and more like moron who's trying to work with magic way above his level.

I sure hope it's over, that thing was about as much fun as five root canals.

you too? I got a highlight reel of basically all the worst things that have ever happened to me and everyone else. super fun!

Oh I got a tragic backstory for people to enjoy. Because, you know. sharing is caring.

[Miles flicks on the camera, stares slightly offscreen for about five seconds, and then flicks off the feed.

Subtext: HE'S NOT ENJOYING THIS.]

[Well, sorry, Miles. >:/ What do you want him to do about it?]

[MAKE IT NOT HAVE HAPPENED, DUH, TONY.

He flicks on the feed again, and when he speaks, his voice is a little hoarse.]

Got an answer yet? 'Cause I'm not exactly fond of watching reruns of the Upshur Show.

Yes. I'm not sure why it's happening.

[ It's very inconvenient. ]

then we're all on the same page - page one. or page zero. that page before the book starts that has the publisher and all the other useless crap on it.

[He's the best at analogies!]

You could go one step further and say we're still on the cover.
