[ Hey, a new arrival who knows how to use video chat. Scott's got the camera set up on the table and himself more or less centered in the frame when he hits the button to record or broadcast. He lifts a hand and gives a bit of a wave to go with his curl of a friendly smile. ]

Hey. I'm Scott, and I guess some of you know me already? Stiles-- my friend Stiles, some of you probably know him, he told me that I've been here before, umm. But I don't remember. Sorry about that. [ His smile this time is apologetic, and comes with a shrug, shoulders hiked up toward his ears and then dropped. ] So I'm hoping that anybody who remembers me being here, if we were friends or whatever, let me know? Sorry that I don't remember you, but I'm sure we can figure it out. So if you wanna come talk or something, come by whenever or send me a message? My number is, uhh. [ He looks down and reads off his arm. ] zero-three-one dash one ninety. I guess I'm pretty much free whenever.

Oh, if anybody's figured out a way to charge a phone here, let me know? I know I can't call anybody or anything but it's got-- music and games and stuff on it, you know. It'd just be cool to have.

[ He lifts a hand and lets it thunk back onto his bicep, mostly covering the rings of his tattoo. He smiles again, one corner tugged up higher than the other. ]

So yeah, that's all for now. See you around.

[ A friend of Stiles, who she may or may not be on good terms with. She's not sure. ]

You know Stiles?

[standsupagain]

Yeah, he's my best friend. Do you know him? Or me?

[unbalancer]

Just him. For about a month. I'm Bonnie. You were here before. That happens. Someone I know also came back. He had no idea he'd been here, either.

[he throws this out to scott when he sees the message because he guesses it's only fair, even if isaac is a butt]

the whole bh gang is bunking down on floor 9 scotty. you WERE rooming with the scarfy wonder but there's plenty of other rooms if you want your own or whatever.

[standsupagain]

[ He is unsure why they would have been sharing otherwise. ]

[de_void]

[iceboxed]

[no it's not. but scott doesn't need to know the rest. not again.]

Scott? [ She's surprised to hear him -- more surprised that his memory's gone. She hadn't realized he'd left the ship, which just makes her feel shitty for not keeping better tabs on the kid. She tightens her jaw and offers a briefly apologetic look before explaining; ] I'm Emma. We ... talked, a few times. I knew Stiles, too. I didn't realize he was back.

Hi. [ This is the first real face-to-face 'I knew you before' Scott's gotten, and he's anticipating some awkward, so his smile is crooked, apologetic but warm. ] I guess Stiles has been here for a month, and I didn't actually leave, I just woke up in a different pod without some memories of here? I don't really get how it works.

But it's nice to uhh. Meet you again. [ His smile grows a little wider and he rubs at the back of his neck. ] I don't really know how to do this. Like do you wanna tell me what we talked about before, or do we start over, or something?

[uncurse]

For a month? I -- [ Oh. Same situation. No memories -- that explains why she hadn't heard. She drops it immediately. ] Well. Normally I'd say dealer's choice, but given the circumstances ... I feel like this is a story you're gonna want to hear. [ That's not nerve-wracking at all. ]

[the pause before 'talk' is what caught stiles' attention in the first place, but emma admitting to knowing stiles before keeps stiles there.]

Heeeeeeey, uh. Surprise?

video;

[uncurse]

Stiles! [ a smile lights on her lips briefly, but it fades as she acknowledges what she'd already realized, talking to scott. ] You ... don't remember me at all, do you?

[pushfall]

I didn't know you, but if you're interested in starting a club for people who have been here once or twice before and don't remember, I have some really great jacket and pin ideas in mind.

[standsupagain]

hahahaha sure, i'm in.

it might really be a good idea, maybe we could find out some pattern or something. who goes and when and what happens when they do. do you know if anybody's ever come back with their memories?

[skjalf]

[ she does not know him; they were not friends. but something he says has caused her to freeze and become filled with a sense of dread and dulled sorrow. ]

You truly do not remember anyone you knew here, sir?

[ she had thought that when they left, they would remember. all of them. if this is not so, then it paints a very bleak and sad portrait of what will come to pass.

she is glad that she is only using the voice function today. it is easier to keep her voice clear and level than her face free of emotion. ]

In that case, you have no cause to apologize. It cannot be helped. I did not know you before you left, but my name is Elizabeth. And I will be happy to help in any way I might.

voice;

[standsupagain]

Nice to meet you Elizabeth. That's really nice of you!

There are some people here I know from home but I don't remember ever being here before. People are nice about it but I figure they must get tired of having to introduce themselves over and over.

Where are you from?

[coy]

Welcome back, Scott. [ cue a bright smile.] I'm Caroline, we were... friends. [ Basically.]

video.

[standsupagain]

[ He smiles back, and gives a little wave. ] Hey Caroline. Are you Bonnie's friend? I met her earlier and she mentioned you. If that was you, I mean. The one who's having a party?

[extrabraincells]

Oh good.

Another one.

[standsupagain]

What?

voice ;

[50000volts]

Didn't know you previously, but welcome aboard. This place is kind of shit, but it looks like you aren't going to be lacking in the friendship department, so that should help.

Hi, I'm Darcy.

[standsupagain]

Hi Darcy, nice to meet you. Did you just get here too?
