[The feed clicks on and it's obvious that Wei Wuxian hasn't slept well based on the darkness under his eyes. His hair is a mess and he is clearly not wearing at least a shirt as he just woke up and couldn't even wait to get dressed before wanting to get some closure from what he just saw.]

So..I think I just got my second memory.

[His voice is a little rough, either from the rough night or the emotions of the memory, he isn't sure. He clears his throat and glances back as he hears the movement of sheets on the bed. But the other occupant doesn't seem ready to stir so he continues as he looks back over at the screen.]

It's just as unpleasant as the first..but apparently in my past life I had family. And I get the impression losing them was also my fault.

[He reaches up and rubs his face with his free hand, clearly disturbed by what he saw in his dream. He isn't even in his own apartment right now so he can't find a way to distract himself without finding his clothes and making a quick escape.]

I don't know if I'm strong enough to deal with these kinds of things...has anyone developed or gained a power for wiping memories?

[howkickassiam]

Had a dream, huh?

[chenqing_player]

More like a nightmare...and hopefully one I don't have to see again.

[howkickassiam]

Yeah, sounds like it. I hope you find someone who can help you.

[chenqing_player]

Not sure I'm going to be so lucky. The Bureau probably wouldn't want anyone with an ability to get rid of these memories.

[howkickassiam]

Hm. I got the impression from my encounters with them that they would rather we didn't have these memories at all. But that might just be because Mr. Martin is such a grump.

[chenqing_player]

You got to meet him too? I feel like I'm the only one who was left out of that meet and greet...

From what I have heard, it sounds like everything that man says is a lie.

[howkickassiam]

You didn't have him approach you right after you had your Event? That's wild. I wonder why.

[darkforcerising]

Can't wipe memories.

Want to talk to someone about what's in your memories?

[chenqing_player]

Maybe..[He glances behind him and then looks around the room as if looking for something.]

Not sure why it's always about death with mine..

[darkforcerising]

You aren't going to say anything that'll upset me. My memories are pretty bad also.

You want to meet somewhere?

[chenqing_player]

Yeah..I can't really talk here..[another glance at the figure in the bed.]

I don't know that one night stands should be privy to crazy past memories. He'll probably be asleep for awhile but..

[Small sound of victory as an article of clothing has been obtained.]

Have a place in mind?

[darkforcerising]

24 hour diner - [ADDRESS]

They have great pancakes and fried food.

Place should be mostly empty at this hour.

[chenqing_player]

Perfect. I'll meet you there as soon as I can find all my clothes.

[Which is can't do while holding a phone.]

[serpentinthegarden]

You look like Hell.

[ Which was said softly enough to sound kind. ]

You could wake up...

[ He gestured towards the lump laying next to Wei. ]

Talk it out with your sweetheart.

Video

[chenqing_player]

I feel like it too.

[There is a soft laugh as he glances back at the other body.]

Sweetheart? I'm not sure I even remember his name..let alone trust him enough with the crazy going on in my head.

[ Anthony's eyebrow arched ever so slyly. ]

Just visiting then.

Want to get out, have a drink or two? Might get your mind off everything.

Video

[chenqing_player]

Yes..definitely need that. You still owe me one anyway!

[He saved Anthony from his mother, now Anthony can save him from his mind.]

Video

[serpentinthegarden]

[ This would help even the score nicely. ]

Pick the place?

Re: Video

[chenqing_player]

[He sends an address.]

Meet there but uh..give me a few minutes? Kind of have to get cleaned up and find my clothes.

[He does not want to go out looking like he just survived a tornado.]

[neverjedi]

Hey. We haven't spoken in a while but I know you already had a lot to deal with, with the first memory. I wish I could do something practical to help, but since I can't - if you need to talk or some distraction for a while, let me know. I'll see what I can do.

Voice

[chenqing_player]

Thanks..a distraction might be good. I'll take any help I can get.

[He's not sure he is strong enough for all these bad memories if they keep happening.]

Re: Voice

[neverjedi]

Then let's plan something fun for next week. I'm sure it won't be enough but if it gets you out of your head for a little bit, it might be worth it.

Voice

[chenqing_player]

[He finally cracks a smile. It's small but it is the first time he has felt like smiling since waking up.

I appreciate it. As long as it doesn't involve swords or fighting..I am down.

Re: Voice

[neverjedi]

No swords or fighting for me, either. [ For lots of reasons. ] We'll grab something to eat and, I don't know, go pet cats and visit and arcade. Light, fun and normal.

Re: Voice

[chenqing_player]

[He laughs softly]

Sounds like fun. I especially like the petting cats part.
