The Remembers Assemble!

[cannot_flinch]

WHO: Team With Memories & New Memories
WHERE: City Public Library
WHAT: Everyone gathering together to find Billy.
WHEN: After the He Row Announcement
WARNINGS: TBD



The City Public Library was an elegant old brick building on the edge of town. It was beautiful inside with large windows and plenty of soft places to sit and read. Right by the check out desk there was a tropical fish tank with a rainbow of fish.

Ikora actually quite liked this part of her identity quite a lot. All the pre-Golden Age technology was quaint and simple but she loved the feel of a book in her hands. She would miss this once they returned to Temba.

Which might be sooner than she thought. The intervention of the Agrii had finally given them a direction. None of them had a good idea for the source of this little world as the Agrii or the forces in control of the Agrii or many things. Now, they knew who to find.

Of course... how to find Billy was another question. She had one of the private study rooms in the library reserved for their little group and anyone else that might wander in with memories returned. Ezra was very helpful in spotting those.

Cayde was very exuberant when he spotted them which was not very welcome in a library.

"Here." Ikora put a few water bottles on the table. "Help yourselves. We have more in the back."

They would be talking for awhile so she imagined water would be needed.

"Willard?" Cayde made a face, tapping his chopsticks against the bowl. "What's that have to do with Billy? Wait, what is Billy short for? Or is that actually his name? Is there such a name as Billiam? ...Bilbo? -oof, if I had a name like Bilbo I'd probably opt to be called Billy too..."

[on_repeat]

"William, I think. Billiam's a variant." Although it sounded silly. Who was he to judge names, though? "I mean, Bilbo's a thing if your parents are into pop culture references."

[deal_me_in]

"It is? I was kidding about the Billiam..." Huh, you learned something new every day.

Cayde paused, giving Echo a look before he smacked the table. "Oh! Right, that's where that came from. I swear, there are some weird bits of info floating around in my head from this place."

[on_repeat]

The sudden movement and table-smack made Echo jump in his seat. "You mean the stuff you should already know unless you've been living under a rock?" he asked, shooting a look at Cayde.

[deal_me_in]

"Heeey." Cayde huffed, clicking his chopsticks. "That rock happens to be reality. You're the one floating around in the fantasy world," he retorted.

[on_repeat]

Echo leaned back with a frown, instead thinking about the Exo's reply rather than debating it openly.

If it was a fantasy world, then why did it feel so real? But that interruption from Ga Re – that was also very real. He saw it with his own eyes.

"...You're not the only one who's said as much," he said after a few beats. "Said something about remembering a whole other life outside of this one."

[deal_me_in]

The Exo gestured around the room with his chopsticks. "Everyone here either remembers or feels like there's something off." He grinned again. "So welcome to Club Crazy."
