[There's a pause.]

I guess I do some if I'm bored?

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[...that is...not what he was expecting...]

Well, uh, does that mean you'd do something like-doodle on the edges of a paper, or...would you...

[It's at this point Dylan realizes the pointlessness of trying to hide things, and moves sketchbook in front of him, pushing it forward.]

Use a sketchbook, like this?

[whimsicalism]

[There's another pause then an embarrassed laugh.]

Huh! I forgot about that thing! Yeah, that's mine!

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[Well, that is a relief. He was starting to worry there.]

Alright, glad I found it then. Just-a couple more questions, I think.

How long did you say we've been here again?

[whimsicalism]

Since January, I think?

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[Luckily Dylan has actually asked around again and, no, it is not January, it is September, there isn't even more lost time than they thought.]

Okay, one last thing...or two, maybe.

You remember where you hid this thing, right?

[Maybe it's still silly, but hey, always good to check if someone has lost memories.]

[whimsicalism]

I... can't remember, sorry.

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[A small sigh.]

Even when I'm right about something, it still feels bad.

Okay, that at least establishes that we all have missing memories. And that...I should probably prepare you for something before you hear it from Adorabat.

[A deep breath, just in case this gets a strong reaction.]

Do you remember anything about Nanami? Anything at all?

[whimsicalism]

She's stuck up. She's really not worth my time so I don't bother paying attention to her.

[She... sounds a bit annoyed at the mention of Nanami, actually.]

She just likes that stupid ogre, after all.

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[...OH BOY-]

O-kay then! One last question, maybe a bit personal, but I'll word it so that you just need to say yes or no, and you don't have to give me any other details than that. Sound good? Cool!

[Did he deliberately ask that question just to immediately ignore what the answer could be? Yes, yes he did.]

Are you especially close to any girls who's name starts with N? Someone here we don't know about yet, or back wherever you're from? Again, details aren't necessary, just would like a yes or no!

[This may be the fastest Dylan has talked the whole time he's been here...]

[whimsicalism]

[You can't see it but if she could, A would be doing the Office stare right now. Just hard middle distance.]

No. I don't really have any time for that right now.

[He can not see it, but he can practically feel it. If dogs could sweat, he'd be filling buckets.]

Well, that's all the questions I have, thank you very much for your time!

[Grabbing the sketchbook and hiding it under his jacket again-would A even get to use it when she's like this? He has no idea! He still isn't even sure if she's just invisible or if this is a full on ghost situation! That's what happens when a dog who is also a skeptic deals with real supernatural stuff for the first time!]

Sorry if this was a bother, just wanted to check over some things, really just was worried about how much everyone remembered, including you, and now I know, so ha ha ha...

[Right by the door now, escape so close, just one more thing.]

[and that has got to be the fastest Dylan has ever ran, just to get out of this conversation before A can start screaming at him

he has R-E-G-R-E-T-S!]

[whimsicalism]

[There's no yelling. Just. Well, he can't tell but there's a stunned silence. Just. What.

What in the world is happening here.]
