I dunno if anybody's asked this already or if there's a giant City FAQ somewhere that I've been missing or something, but here goes. Anybody here remember the City when you went home?

How much of it sticks around?

You busy today? I kinda wanted to run something by you.

[errandry]

... yeah, think I can get that. Sorry.

[majorcrotchgrab]

I suppose I can see why they make us forget.

[errandry]

What in case we fuck up our timeline or something?

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Yeah.

private//video;

[errandry]

... I dunno about that, why would they even care?

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

... That is true. Hm.

private//video;

[errandry]

—that's it? No defenses or anything?

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

They don't seem to care much about us, so why would they care if we changed things in history back home?

[errandry]

Yeah, that was my point!

private//video;

[errandry]

Maybe stuff's gotta go one way in our timelines or else they won't be able to keep yanking us in here. Maybe they're just collecting our memories. S'that part really matter anyway?

[majorcrotchgrab]

You raise some interesting points. I wonder if anyone else has researched these things.

private//video;

[errandry]

They're kinda obvious if you think about it, aren't they...? And how would you research something like that?

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

When you're here for a long time, you tend to forget.

And I suppose you just... ask other people?

private//video;

[errandry]

Most people say the same things, though! Everybody gets their memories taken when they go home... but nobody knows why.

... how long've you been here, anyway?

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Well, I meant what they think the reason is for the memory loss.

[He leans back in his chair]

I was here for over a year, I think. Left for a few months and came back. I've been here since March.

[errandry]

It's like I said, though—what we think doesn't matter. Not if we've got nothing else to go on.

And I guess that's a while...

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

But it may help?

And it is, especially with the curses.

private//video;

[errandry]

You think so? We'd basically be making stuff up.

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

It might get other people to investigate it more.

private//video;

[errandry]

Yeah, but the only guys who can answer that are the deities, right? And they're not exactly saying anything now!

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

It might get their attention? I don't know. I'm curious but I'm not interested in getting overly involved.

private//video;

[errandry]

... pretty sure nobody is.

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Oh well.

private//video;

[errandry]

[ ... ]

Thanks anyway, though.

private//video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

No problem.
