Zero Divide - Episode #1 - "Looking Glass"

"I suppose Alan is as good a name as anything else - inspired by your father then? Indeed..."

"I want to go on the 'field trip' as much as anyone else. I have a lot to catch up on. Why don't you go check up on the others and let sit down with my book? I promise I'll try not to break anything while you're gone if you don't."

"I'm please to meet you, Mira. No, this is not my home. It's Vanessa house. That women decide to take care of a bunch of people who has lost memory... yeah, I am among them. And this his her dog." Ian walk to the dog and stroke Arjuna. "Calm down girl. There is nothing to fear."

Once the dog has calm down. "Please, enter. This is the garage. I was working on that Mustang. I'm trying to put it back on track. The engine is working, but the electrical system is still not working. So, you come from outside the wall? I haven't left the estate since I remember, which is not that much time... a week, maybe a bit more, i didn't really kept track of the time. You wanted to take a dive in the pool?"

If the dog doesn't want to calm down, Ian will lead the mastiff into the house and close the door of the garage, to not scare Mira.

(I wanted to oppose Hammerhead's bluff check)

"It looks like it's blank. Maybe it's somebody's journal. Or sketch book, since the pages aren't lined." Ashley holds up the magazine with its blank pages fanning outwards, bending the covers inward. While letting Dee look at the blank, she examines the front page. (It's still the same, right?)

It is the same, and sorry I didn't pick that up on the opposed check. Michael rolled a 16, Ashley got a 23; she notices that something is troubling him, or was troubling him.

“Well as long as you behave,” Vanessa replies with a curt smile, “I need to finish a few things upstairs as is; I just wanted to make sure you were okay, Alan.”

Krishna remains following Alan around.

Ian

“Are you kidding me this is the garage, I would have never figured that out from all the cars and tools. So wait you live here with this Vanessa who is taking care of you because you don’t have any memories or something so you got like amnesia? Yeah I thought the place was deserted so I figured I would sneak in and sunbathe, maybe dip in the pool if it wasn’t too dirty… but if you are offering and if we have finished the grand tour of this piece of junk,” referring to the Mustang, “I would like to see the pool.”

“So basically you don’t remember anything? What a bummer, it would totally suck to not remember the last time you had sex? Do you even remember that?” Mira asks sitting on the hood.
 

Facade picks up the deck of cards distractedly as she looks around. It was...a house. Even without memories, it was easy to recognize. Very houselike. House-esque, you might say. TOO house-like?

"Haven, since you've been here, have you met any servants? Maids? Anyone like that?"

She goes to the portrait and eyes it critically as she awaits his answer.

(I guess I should ask, as long as I'm at it...have we? :))
 


"Nope. I don't remember my parents, my first day of school, my first date, my first night with a girl, the first time I took some drugs... For what I know, I could be an orphan with no formation who had never a date and never tried any drugs." As he tell that, he starts to put back the tools he had taken into his toolbox. "I'll just take care of my tools and then I'll show you around. But I warn you, many of the others who have amnesia have turned paranoiac today. They might asks you a few quetsions about what is outside this Estate. Also, I don't know what Vanessa will think of someone coming uninvited, but I don't think there will be any problem."

My last sexual relation... I never thought I could have a girlfriend somewhere out there.

As he finish to clean his workbench. "As you seem to like that much this garage, I won't make you wait anymore. But these cars seems to be the only thing that tied me to my past. I don't know where I got those skills, but I understand the smallest things about these pieces of junk, like you like to call them. It is one of the few things my memory have kept. It's the only thing that doesn't make me feels empty."

Ian grabs the apple he had brought and take a bite. He leads Mira inside the Estate. "Come on girl!" he tells to Arjuna, asking her to follow and stay near him. As he enters the kitchen, he sees Michael and Dee. "Good morning you three. We have a guess. This is Mira" He turns to Mira. "This is Michael, Ashley and Dee. Do you want something to eat of drink before going to the pool?"

"I suppose I could split up, see what's up with the rest of them. But they're probably suffering from the same restlessness that we have." He looks up, seeing...Ian, wasn't it? The mechanic.

"Hey Ian. Nice to meet you, Mira," Michael says, rising out of his chair and extending his hand in greeting. "Wow, this amnesia thing must be some kind of epidemic. I take it you've already met Vanessa."
 

Haven thinks about the question for a minute or two and then he shrugs. "No I haven't met anyone here but Vanessa and the other people like us. The dogs too, if they count, but no I haven't seen another soul."

"Kinda weird boss lady."
