[ He's busy stretching out long, black wings, like how you'd stretch from waking up after a nap. ]

Good morning.

/3

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ very clearly on autopilot as she wanders over to the fridge ]

Good morni—

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ ...

...

... ]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ blinks at him for a couple more moments, goes "hmm" very quietly under her breath, and then shakes herself and resumes Food Quest. ]

Excuse me, goodness. ...Is it morning, actually? I couldn't really tell.

[cawnflict]

[ look... he appreciates people who are intent on food. ]

It might as well be.

[ It was the middle of the night before he arrived here, so it's clearly morning for him now. ]

[ghostfromthemachine]

Fair enough!

[ rummaging ]

[cawnflict]

[ a pause. then he's jerking a thumb to his wings. ]

This may be intrusive... but do you not have any similar features?

[ look, he's considering faking the amnesia, but the fact that he can't see ears or a tail or something is weird. ]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ pulling back to look at him ]

Nnno? Or— hmm. Actually—

[ hold that thought while she gives herself a quick once-over/pat down combo. then, with more certainty: ]

No. Which is kind of a shame, now that I'm thinking about it, but oh well. ...Were you expecting me to have them?

[cawnflict]

I suppose. I don't remember specifics [ :^) ] but everybody is supposed to have something like that. "Animal" features, or something similar.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ humming under her breath ]

Yours struck me as something surprising, so... hmm. That recording did say "worlds..."

—ah, wait, what do you mean you don't remember specifics?

[cawnflict]

I don't remember if I've ever seen someone without them.

[ Which is more or less the truth. ]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ hmmMMM ]

Somehow I get the feeling that isn't saying much.

[cawnflict]

Maybe. But the lack of something is weird to me.

[ A very, very small pause. ] But weird isn't bad.

[ghostfromthemachine]

That's possibly the wrong blanket statement to use, considering the circumstances.

[ but she grins at him a little, wry ]

[unaffective]

[ that's a bodypart? ]

... Yes, good morning... It seems that we'll be partnered here. It's nice to meet you.

[cawnflict]

[ it might be a body part :) ]

Partnered. [ WELL. She's not wrong, apparently. ] You as well. If I had a name to give you...

[unaffective]

You've lost your memories as well?

[cawnflict]

It seems like it. We must all be like this.

[unaffective]

... No, I've retained mine. It's rather that I was hoping to determine some manner of pattern within the loss...

And - I suppose there's little reason to imagine that you would recall your age, in such a case.

[cawnflict]

[ ...oh.

Interesting. So there are others who remember; part of his reasoning for keeping it a secret is that it'd look suspicious to be left with them when others did not.

Hm. ]

No, but a pattern isn't a bad idea to investigate. I was wondering if it had to do with what happened before we arrived. Or how we arrived. Do you know you got here?

[unaffective]

I don't. I spoke with someone from another car, and she claimed the same - further, of those with a greater degree of amnesia present at the time that she awoke, there was only a child. If you and the young woman present here are closer in age to myself, however, then it may not factor into the severity in any manner deserving of note...

... Though she and I both are hopeful that it may be temporary. Have you eaten?

[cawnflict]

Eaten... no, not yet. [ He's still thinking about the ages. It'd help to know that there was a pattern, he supposes. But if it's temporary... ] Why? Is there actually something edible in here?

[unaffective]

Yes - fruit, and a few other perishables. As we've lost power, however, it would be prudent to see to it sooner rather than later.

[cawnflict]

[ He's opening his mouth to say something—

and his stomach is growling. ]

[unaffective]

[ just

stares down at him, more incredulous than anything ]

... Would you like something...?
