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...]

They can change your mind, your memories, your personality - do you really think changing your body's beyond them? It's one of the easiest tricks to pull off if you know what you're doing.

[ Somewhere outside the library, the Volt swings its door into the Corvette- the car equivalent of an elbow to the ribs. You're not helping, Sideswipe. ]

We know, actually. They put us in different bodies when we got here. It was... frightening.

But why would they do that to you?

[mayfield_mods]

Because he's afraid of me. Of what I can do. He knew I wouldn't just sit back quietly when he k-killed Mr. Grey and droned Samantha.

[Both the Corvette and the human holoform jump at that. The car's engine grumbling while the holoform just folds his arms.]

What can you do that's so dangerous to them?

[She sniffs and tosses her head proudly.]

What, you think Mayfield got this good on its own? Dr. Zemekis might have created this place, but it was way glitchy when we first got here. I helped fix it up.

[electrowhipit]

You put it together, and you can take it apart. That's what they're scared of, isn't it?

So they locked you in a new body, and made you forget.

[stabbywheelfeet]

But... now you remember? So you can take it apart and... send us home?

Maybe?

[mayfield_mods]

I don't know if I can take the whole thing down, but I can definitely cause some major damage.

Or I could. [She wrings her hands anxiously, hunching her shoulders.] But...everything I knew about how this place worked, he buried even deeper than my memories. I don't - I don't think he erased them, he can't do that, but it's like trying to see through fog, and...and I can feel him watching me, every second I'm here, making sure I can never come back....

[electrowhipit]

Is there anything we can do to help? Anything at all, and we'll do our best to make it happen.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Aren't... you back now? At least, partially?

That's something, isn't it?

[mayfield_mods]

If I can just...get enough time, enough back to get out of here, somewhere he can't control me anymore, maybe I can--

[She clutches her head and gasps, shuddering for a second before her face goes blank and placid.]

What are you boys still doing here? The library is closing.

[electrowhipit]

What- no. Annie? Please don't be droned.

[stabbywheelfeet]

... Jolt.

I think it's done. Come on. Let's... get out of here.
