event: don't you forget about me

[mayfield_mods]

[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...]

...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!

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]

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]

...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]

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]

...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]

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]

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?!
