[Memo looks awful: The demonic wings on her head are cut and bruised, as is her skin. Her dress is a mess, reflecting how she has spent the past few weeks lost outside.

The confused girl on the screen is holding up a numbered key: Her Genessia Commons key. She's also holding a stack of red bills, one of which has clearly been bitten into.]

I am Memo. I cannot remember where I am. I require assistance in the matters of: Where does this key belong? What are these red papers?

Additionally, I require assistance in forming memories of my situation. 

[action]
[You can find Memo wandering through all of the cities with that key. She's testing it in every lock that she finds. Again, she looks to be an absolute disaster. At least she smells bathed, thanks to public baths that accept her red bills. Whenever she sees a pendent wearer, particularly those with the Everglade pendent, her head wings lift and flap for attention.]

You have one too. A pendent. Where did we get these? What are they for?

[Azure was on her way home from her shift a Jolly Eddy's when she noticed the girl trying a key in odd places. She kept her distance, watching as she attempted a few different locks before deciding to intervene. Being propositioned with the question, she answered it as simply as possible.]

We got these necklaces when we first came here. They are used to travel to different cities.

[Baldur couldn't help but sigh slightly. Demons that he knew wouldn't be like this at all. It was such a strange sight to see and as much as he hated to admit it because to others back home it meant weakness but he was a tad concerned.]

I feel like you would need a 24/7 babysitter.

[memortalized]

I see.

[She taps her own necklace curiously, then looks up at Azura's face again.]

I ate the pamphlet, so I understand we are held captive. I did not eat any papers retaining to the different cities. What are they?

[memortalized]

I only need to eat memories. I am exiled and undeserving of company.

[firechild_azure]

You...Ate the pamphlet?

[It was clear she wasn't human but at the same time she wasn't sure if that was necessarily safe or nutritious.]

Genessia, Everglade, Attleton, Fayren, and Nova City.

[demonofbadluck]

That was in your world. The rules do not apply here. Babysitter and someone who can find you people's memories too much on just seems logical.

[aurabble]

You don't have memories?

[memortalized]

Yes. The ink and printing paper were quite bitter. I am able to remember material if it is printed in the form of a public message.

[So she puts almost all paper in her mouth, just in case.

Like that half of a red bill she's holding.]

Is there a particular benefit to one city over another?

[memortalized]

... I suppose it could be helpful.

I can bait a babysitter with this money. Maybe they want the key too.

[memortalized]

Correct. As part of my punishment, Memo was stripped of her "sense of self." I cannot form memories about me. I can only eat them from others.

Do you form memories?

[aurabble]

I can. That doesn't seem...

Do you need help?

[memortalized]

[She gives him a curious stare, with the wings on her head extending to their full wingspan. Then she nods slowly.]

Help is appreciated.

I am cold. And hungry... and very dirty. I require memories of how to solve these problems in this “Genessia.”

Also: What are you?

[aurabble]

That's...not good. [No shit.] Where are you?

What? I'm human.

[firechild_azure]

[Azure...Did her best not to grimace at the taste description. If anything, if she desired pamphlets, she could take her to places where she has seen a lot of printed paper that there is plenty of copies of.]

From what I understand the different cities cater towards certain backgrounds.

May I ask if written notes work the same as printed for you?

[memortalized]

I see. I wonder which caters to Memo's background.

[Unable to recall much about herself makes that difficult.]

Not for eating. The written word must exist in the mind of many, and have been far reaching, before Memo can benefit from eating it. I don't remember why this rule exists.

[memortalized]

[Memo looks around, then directs the camera at a street sign.]

I have no idea. I've already forgotten where I was before. Memo was probably trying to discover the use of this key. [Which she sneaks into the camera frame. Now Jaune has a view of a key with a street sign as a backdrop, and Memo's fingers. It's like a bad puppet show.]

Human... Mm. I can eat human memories. Why would a human offers their help to a demon, though?

[aurabble]

[He frowns at the street sign.] I know that street. I'll be right there.

Uh...no reason, really. You have more use for them, and I don't want you to starve.

[memortalized]

... It was always Memo's understanding that human memories held immeasurable value. But I suppose, memories of a stranger will not hold value. I do not understand it well.

[She is hungry, though, and he is offering. If she can remember some things about her situation, like where she lives or how to get necessities, she'll be able to survive on her own. It won't matter if her survival is a lonely one.]

[aurabble]

Sounds like you understand it just fine. They are valuable, which is why I'd rather you have them. It's probably a confusing explanation.

[memortalized]

... I have attempted an understanding.

[She nods again, with the wings on her head folding peacefully.]

In order to assist, I will need to eat memories of your helping Memo. I will then be able to remember the memory from your perspective. Memo will then be able to help herself in the future.

[firechild_azure]

I would say where you feel most at home at.

[Taking a moment to think over the girl's words, she was trying to think of what would be most beneficial to her.]

What about used books? Or should I help you grab some pamphlets?

[demonofbadluck]

[He sighed slightly.]

That is just asking for someone to use you though. You need to be more clever.

[memortalized]

Why would I be used? I have nothing significant to offer. All I can do is eat memories and create illusions.

[demonofbadluck]

To some, they can use that to make people forget. I would use it on my siblings so that they wouldn't become a threat for example.

People can be creative. [Well he wouldn't have actually done that, he prefers to fight but he knew of at least one sibling who might have.]

Where are you anyway?

[draconixaviarix]

[Hana sees and smell this girl, she smells...interesting. Definitely another spirit but not at the same time. But her wings are curious! At being approached though, Hana hopped back.

She just got a taste of her own medicine of no personal space, haaah]

Oooh hello there~ I do~

[Hana held the pendant up] They're for living here and ah..actually that's a good question. I think we got it from that..uhm...

....bed? Kind of like a cocoon...But you must be new, yes..?

[video]

[fadedscarlet]

[Yup, Kii knew a Demon when they saw one!, They grinned]

Finally! Another Demon! Thank freaking everything. Ahhhh..Memo. This is good, no, this is good.

Kii. Happy to be of service. That key? That is for your braaaaand new living space, I can definitely show you, and the red papers? Those things are the ticket to wanting stupid mortal things! How do you like that?

[That memory thing was quite an interesting fact, though]

[memortalized]

Home... [Memo doesn't remember what home is to her.]

Books are useful for gaining specific knowledge, but do not teach me about Memo.

[memortalized]

[Memo flashes the camera at a street sign, answering one question as she replies.]

Creative, huh. Memo isn't sure how to be creative. Eating memories is eating memories. It is not special.

[memortalized]

I am not sure when I arrived.

[She has actually been here for weeks, but simply forget that time.]

How does jewelry contribute to one's ability to live?

[memortalized]

How does Memo like that?

[She has no idea, so it's a sincere question.]

Brand new living space? I do not know where that is. Memo has never had a place to live before. Does it have a roof?

[firechild_azure]

Doesn't teach you about yourself? That can be hard in general to accomplish.

So in general, what are you trying to gain?

[demonofbadluck]

Are there people nearby you can eat from?

[Because he knew it might be a while before he could get there.]

[fadedscarlet]

Yes! It has a roof, a door, and everything is all in one small square place..complete of roommates.

[raises a brow]

..You looked dazed. Want me to show you? Oh AND BY THE WAY what are you again? Name and stuff? Didn't quite catch that, lil' miss..

[draconixaviarix]

Well..

[Hana looked down at her's] They mark where you are living and deems that you are a..uhhh sit-zen? Of this realm.

See? [she presented her pendant]

I have a green light because I live in Fayren. Your's doesn't have a color yet until you pick from a city or town. At..least that's what I've learn hehe~

[memortalized]

... That is very weird. This is a weird place.

[Memo just

sticks her necklace in her mouth. Hm.]

It has no memories on it, so I will likely forget your kind information within a few hours. At least it was kind of a stupid answer.

[memortalized]

Memo wishes to know her situation. I ate a paper explaining the kidnapping, but I still do not have memories regarding specifics. Where is "Commons" and has it been a month since Memo came here? I do not know where I live.

[She holds up her money.] I do not know how to obtain more of this.

[memortalized]

There are not. No one intelligent enough to satisfy my questions, anyway.

It does no good to eat the memories of stupid people.

[memortalized]

Memo is a fallen demon. She is called Memo. Her memory was taken away to punish her folly. I do not know very much other than that.

I like roofs and doors. This sounds like an interesting place. I would like to see it and eat a brochure about it.

[draconixaviarix]

Yes.

[Hana admitted] This place can be weird...but neat too!

Erm...this is a trick from my world, but have you thought about something to help with your memory? Like drawing pictures or symbols that help you remember..? Or-rather-do you need help..?

[fadedscarlet]

[okay but serious tone here]

...We're in the same fucking boat, huh..

[Kii sighs] Well, I can show you where you live. Eat a brochure about it too, whatever you want. Do..you have any powers left..?

You'll like it here. Nice, plain, don't have to worry about things unless you start them. So don't start shit, okay kid?

[firechild_azure]

So how can you gain this aside from eating paper? [Azure had a feeling there might be more to know considering it would be hard to get her requirements.]

[demonofbadluck]

It depends on the questions you need.

Like you would ask an expert at math a science question.
