[Ike's world is stuck in the Middle Ages. Thus, he doesn't know about any of this newfangled technology you people have. You're with him somewhere in the city, when he stops and points to something ordinary, like a car or a telephone.]

And what's this?

I just got a memory back, and it explains why I picked up the sword. It was because of my father. His name was Greil, and he started training me in the sword when I was still just a child. But...that's all. I still don't remember anything after I was about seven years old or so.

I wonder how he's doing...

[You've remembered a traumatic or stressful memory! Somehow Ike heard the news, and he's coming into your apartment, concerned for you.]

Hey. Are you going to be all right?

[There's a battle! Considering the nature of the wilderness, you're probably on the same side, but perhaps there's a conflict within the city limits that has pitted the two of you against each other. Either way, Ike has just arrived and taken the lead on the field.]

It's time we turned the tides of this battle! Here I come!

Ah Lad, that there is what we call a Television. I personally have no interest in it, but many folks use to pass the way the time instead of something productive.

Re: 1

[blue_flames]

A device that wastes people's time? Why would anyone ever create such a thing?

Re: 1

[number_one_dime]

Ach, that wasn't what it was made for, but that's how people tend to use it. Ye see, its a series of moving pictures and sounds in order to convey information, but most people only pay attention to the trivial things and not the important ones.

But ye have to admit it is quite a profitable device.

[blue_flames]

...Oh. So then people can learn from it. Now it makes sense why people would actually own them.

[number_one_dime]

Aye. Just don't go thinking it's be all to end all with learnin', there's a reason why it's called the idiot's lantern.

Have to admit it seems strange to me that a lad yer age don't know what a television is.

[blue_flames]

Honestly, a lot of the things this place has are things I've never heard of. Even the communication devices are something that seemed unfamiliar to me...but at the same time I knew how to use it to talk to other people.

[number_one_dime]

Ye have to admit that's strange - I'd hazard ye might be on the same boat as the rest of us, not a scrap of memory to our names except well, our names.

[blue_flames]

I am. But still, I know what kind of cities I'm used to...and this isn't it.

[number_one_dime]

It is not too different from the ones I know, only they're not quite as empty.

[blue_flames]

Empty?

[ He just had to stop and point at a bluray dvd player, didn't he? Don't mind the girl as she puts on her best game face. ]

That is a--[ UM! ]--hmmm--[ Pushing random buttons until the DVD tray pops out. Then it's as though a lightbulb lit up over her head. ]--waffle maker!

[ Why it's connected to the television.. well, that's another question for another day, right?? ]

[blue_flames]

A...waffle maker?

[That helps nothing.]

[gandere]

Yes, it makes waffles.

[ DUH??? ]

[blue_flames]

And...what is a waffle?

[gandere]

It's a waffle.

[ Geez, what's with this guy? ]

[blue_flames]

That doesn't answer my question.

[gandere]

Then maybe you shouldn't ask dumb questions in the first place!

[blue_flames]

Asking about something I've never seen before is a dumb question? How?

[gandere]

You've never seen a waffle maker before?

[blue_flames]

No, I haven't. And I still don't even know what a waffle is.

[gandere]

It's a breakfast item.

[blue_flames]

...So you're saying this thing makes food? But why wouldn't it be in a kitchen?

[gandere]

Because someone's obviously misplaced it!

[blue_flames]

Something like a food maker seems hard to misplace.

[Of course, Ike likes his food, so he's not indicative of everyone.]

[gandere]

Listen, you seem to be the kind of person who just picks an argument just to have one. You asked a question, you got more than a single answer, so why do you continue to discuss it?

[blue_flames]

...I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm just trying to learn more about this world, since it's all unfamiliar to me. I apologize for coming across a different way.

[gandere]

Unfamiliar to you... Why didn't you just say that in the first place?

[blue_flames]

...Well, I figured that my question would imply it.

[gandere]

No, your question implied that you're an idiot and nothing more.

[blue_flames]

You don't hold your tongue back much, do you?

[gandere]

I have no reason to lie.

[blue_flames]

Better to be blunt than dishonest, yeah.

[gandere]

Don't tell me you're offended. If you were up front about your predicament, I wouldn't have though you to be stupid.

[blue_flames]

It'll take more than that to offend me.

[gandere]

Great. So have you been enlightened enough for me to leave yet?

[blue_flames]

Just one more question. Can you give me directions to the library?

[gandere]

I suppose I can do that.

[ Pulling out a notebook, she'll scribble down a map for him. Ripping the page out, she'll hold it towards his person to take. ]

Here you go then.

[blue_flames]

Thank you.

Well, I guess I'll see you around.

[Ike leaves. He just hopes he can find a book about waffles.]

2; I should get her more icons

[crimea]

[Just look who you're asking, Elincia has even less of a clue of what that telephone booth might be.]

I'm afraid I don't recognize that object either. Perhaps we should look for someone else's advice?

[blue_flames]

[Hey, cut him some slack. He doesn't remember her yet.]

It's not really important. Just curiosity, that's all.

jdfysgehrudgwhef this account had been sitting around for a while.

[crimea]

[Well she doesn't remember him neither :|]

But, to think neither of us would know what this is, what does that sa of us? Lost memories can't affect us in that way, surely.

[blue_flames]

It just means that it didn't exist where we come from, that's all.

I wrote 2 but I meant 1...I think that much is obvious

[crimea]

I don't know if I could be so calm about something like that. How would home look like, then?

[blue_flames]

I don't know. But that just means we have to wait to find out. I can do some waiting.

[crimea]

I suppose...nothing will come over worrying about what cannot be helped.

Still, I think we should do our best to learn what we can.

[blue_flames]

Of course. That's the plan for now.

[crimea]

Then we need to find somebody who knows what this is.

[And now you have an amnesiac queen dragging you by an arm, Ike.]

Come on!

[blue_flames]

Whoa! Wait, you really want to know?
