I'm sorry, I was just... wait, what was it again?

[There is a moment of silence.]

I'm not... certain what... sorry, nevermind.

[The feed closes.]


3:35 PM:

[The feed opens.]

I'm going home; there's clearly something wrong. It seems to be-- it's-- what are those? Well, it's not me-- it... it isn't isolated, I doubt it's an actual physiological issue. But... I should not be treating patients for as long as this lasts.

[The feed closes.]

[He's clearly exasperated that he has to ask this. And that he has to do it publicly. Shut up, he forgot how to filter and his phone is at home. Craziest thing - he forgot it.]

House, which building do we live in?

Lots of memory lost today. Interesting.

[dr_conscience]

I suppose it is, though I might use a different word. Of course, I'm hardly an objective observer.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Seen stranger things theoretically. Will keep up on the observations though. Must have a medical reason for this... Unless it is one of these "curses".

Notice anything strange?

[dr_conscience]

Curses. That was the word.

Which is also what I suspect it is at this point; we seem to be dealing with rather widespread, sudden memory loss with no associated symptoms.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

...You're forgetting about the curses? That was apparently common knowledge for everyone in the City.

It seems so. No particular targeted type of memory that I can tell. Randomly-targeted amnesia.

[thenormalsquint]

Oh, for the love of God.

[Him too... again?]

[dr_conscience]

That's strikingly similar to my own thoughts on the issue.

[thenormalsquint]

[Not quite, Wilson. Angela's thoughts on this are more along the lines of Please don't let this be the slugs again, No, really, please don't let this be the slugs again, and I'm sure I didn't hit him this time.]

Turn on your video.

[Angela is on a mission for the truth.]

[dr_conscience]

Uh-- alright. One second...

[He's confused by the request, but compliant. Have some audible fiddling with the device. No, really, he can figure this out.

After a moment, there's a somewhat confused Wilson on your screen, one brow arched.]

Yes?

[thenormalsquint]

Let me see your ears.

[Funny how she's the one checking a doctor's ears for inflammation. Usually it's the other way around.]

[neverplay]

I'll walk you there, Dr. Wilson.

[dr_conscience]

Thank you, Mindy, but you really don't have to go to that much trouble.

[neverplay]

You sure? I've got the time.

[dr_conscience]

That's alright. Cameron actually made the same offer, so I figure I'll let her play hero today.

[neverplay]

Okay.

[ Then a pause. ]

Howcome you can't remember?

[as_damaged]

...You've forgotten where you live?

[dr_conscience]

It's... disconcerting. I remember what apartment it is, how to get there once I'm inside the building, just... not which building it is.

[as_damaged]

Are you certain it's only some kind of curse?

[dr_conscience]

Well, no, I can't be certain, but...

I haven't suffered any head trauma, I have no symptoms other than the memory loss, and it's not an isolated incident. It seems to be the most likely explanation at the moment.

[as_damaged]

I can meet you, and walk you the rest of the way, if you'd like...

[o-tea-p.livejournal.com]

Ah, the joys of aging. Don't worry - it gets better.

[beat]

Of course, sometimes it gets worse.

[dr_conscience]

[... what.]


[hang on there, iroh.]





[... what.]

[dr_conscience]

It's not--

I mean, I'm not...

[damnit, james. stop. flailing. for a moment. and articulate yourself.]

I know I'm not exactly a kid anymore, but I'm not quite old enough for that-- for it to be a concern.

It's... this is a curse.

[o-tea-p.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, my mistake. In that case, it will DEFINITELY get better. And when you get to be my age, just remember what I said before.

[pause]

If you can, that is.

[dr_conscience]

Well, assuming I do manage to remember, I'll try to bear that in mind.

[... this whole thing makes asking the next bit a little awkward]

I'm sorry I have to ask, but... have we spoken before? I don't think I've actually forgotten anything that significant; it just... seems like it would be best to ask.
