event: don't you forget about me

[For those of you venturing into Mayfield's library today, you can find the head librarian hard at work at the front desk or shelving books. Most people who try to approach her will simply get a stern look and a reminder to keep their voices down.

If you happen to have something of hers though, you may get quite a different reaction...]

[OOC: This post is locked to characters who have a memento. Please do not reply if you don't have one. For those who do, you can go ahead and respond in any order; however, day 7's memento will be chronologically the last one she'll see.]

S-sorry.

[Creepy feeling intensifying.]

B-but...I think I've got somethin' that belongs to ya...

All overdue fines should be deposited at the front desk.

No...not that. This.

[He'll hold up the photo.]

[She sucks in a startled breath, her hand reaching out to brush tentatively against the photo before jerking it back.]

W-who is that?

[Beast Boy peeks around Gentarou with lobster claws ready in case she turns into an abomination.]

He's... a friend of yours! Right? Probably.
cosmicbond: by <user name="totling"> (Point!)

[personal profile] cosmicbond 2012-09-15 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Not really sure. But since the pic's yours...he's gotta be someone you know. Maybe a good bud or somethin'.

[He'll hold it out closer.]

Go on, take it. Maybe if you hold it, you'll remember.
mayfield_mods: (Librarian)

[personal profile] mayfield_mods 2012-09-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
N-no. No, he's not a friend, he's...I've never seen him before, never....
cosmicbond: by <user name="totling"> (Point!)

[personal profile] cosmicbond 2012-09-15 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Somehow, I can't believe that. In fact...now I'm positive that you know; somewhere deep down, who this is.

[Any creep factor he had is gone, and is replaced by pure confidence.]

I don't r-remember...forgotten...I forgot...

[Her voice suddenly changes, from the fearful cracking waver of an old woman to the voice of a young teenager.]

No. They made me forget. My own brother!
cosmicbond: by <user name="totling"> (whhaaat!?)

[personal profile] cosmicbond 2012-09-15 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Your brother!?

A-and...what happened to your voice?
thebeastwithout: (Uh)

[personal profile] thebeastwithout 2012-09-15 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Your what?!

[Beast Boy allows the claws to turn back to normal hands as he stares.]

Dude. ...Are you like, secretly from the future and also my age or something?

[She juts out her chin and cocks an eyebrow defiantly, the expression oddly youthful on such an old face.]

Why are you so surprised? Most of us had family at some point or another, even if we weren't lucky enough like old MacCready to bring them in.

And I don't know how old you are, but I just turned 56. [She pauses, looking confused.] N-no...no, that's not right....
cosmicbond: by <user name="totling"> (Im gonna fail!)

[personal profile] cosmicbond 2012-09-15 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
This is gettin' confusing.

What do ya mean 'bring them in'? Into the town? What does that MAKE the town?

...it was supposed to be a haven. It was never supposed to turn into this.

[Her voice goes bitter.] And you shouldn't ask so many questions. He'll just make you forget. Like he made m-me forget. Because he wants you to be happy, see? Even if it means losing your family, your past, everything that makes you who you are.

How is THIS happy? Happiness comes from both good AND bad things. I wouldn't have so many friends if I only accepted the good bits.

I'll help everyone stop him, and show him what TRUE happiness is!
thebeastwithout: (Grin)

[personal profile] thebeastwithout 2012-09-15 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
But, dude.

If you're starting to remember stuff now, you can totally help us out, right?! You don't really wanna stay stuck here, either!
mayfield_mods: (Librarian)

He killed the last person who said that to him.

Even if I'm remembering things now, he'll just make me forget again. He can't stand it, you know. That there might be someone who knows as much as he does. [Her gaze is blank and distant.] I'm sorry. I don't know what I can do.
thebeastwithout: (Ready)

[personal profile] thebeastwithout 2012-09-16 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
...Dying's somethin' a hero has to get used to pretty quick. We don't do the job for the health perks.

But if you don't want to fight... then you can at least tell us what we need to know so we can fight. While you still remember.
mayfield_mods: (Librarian)

[personal profile] mayfield_mods 2012-09-16 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
When he kills you, you don't come back. And he could do so much worse than that. Like what he did to me.

I don't...[She grimaces, holding a hand to her head.] I might be able to do something if I can access the main system, but it's been so long, I can't remember....
thebeastwithout: (Somber)

[personal profile] thebeastwithout 2012-09-16 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
...Sorry to push ya so hard. It's kinda exciting that one of you actually wants to work with us, you know?

Can you just try your best with whatever it is you're thinking? No one'll blame ya if it doesn't work out.
mayfield_mods: (Librarian)

[personal profile] mayfield_mods 2012-09-16 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
I-I remember I knew things, things no one else could understand, but I can't remember what...he must have buried those memories even deeper. If I just had more time, maybe I could - I only need more--

[She gives a small cry of frustration and fear, squeezing her eyes shut before her face smooths out. When she speaks again, her voice is back to the tremulous waver of the old lady's.]

I'm sorry, boys, but I really must ask you to leave if you can't keep your voices down.
thebeastwithout: (Life is pain)

[personal profile] thebeastwithout 2012-09-16 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
H-Hey! What, you're the one who just -- ...Oh.

[Beast Boy stares, disgruntled, for a moment or two. He reaches forward again to poke at the photo.]

Look, look! Your brother! You remember your brother, right?!
