bakerstreet | Hey, can you tell me what year it is?

Ah, amnesia. The old standby for soap operas, it usually involves a good knock on the head and a complete loss of memory. Ever wanted to do that to your character? Well, now's your chance.

1. Comment with your characters!
2. Others comment. Optionally, go to RNG and roll the scenario. (As to who gets knocked on the head, well, that's up to you!)
3. ???
4. PROFIT.

1. HEAD-ON COLLISION - ...whoops. It was an honest mistake, really! You didn't see that car/tree/post/person/whatever coming, but now you're stumbling out of the wreckage sans memory. Better ask for help.

2. WAIT, WHO ARE YOU? - Okay, so a while ago, you got into...something that caused you to lose your memory. Fortunately, you managed to get by and create a new identity for yourself. Unfortunately, someone new has just entered your life. Or should I say, someone who's a little too familiar...

3. RINSE AND REPEAT - Sigh. Really, this is just so inconvenient. You wake up everyday with no memory of who you are, and have to figure it out over the course of the day, only to fall asleep and have to do it all over again the next day. Good thing someone's there to help you out, right? And what's with all those post-its and notes?

4. THIS ROOM'S TOO WHITE - Welcome to the hospital. You've got an "Unknown" tag on your wrist, a healthy diet of bland hospital food, a steady trickle of doctors coming in to check up on you, and a TV, and nothing else. Looks like someone's coming to help you today, though! Here's to hoping they knew you before you lost your memory.

5. I'M SUPPOSED TO DO WHAT?! - Oh, crap. There's something only you can do right now--that is, the you who didn't lose your memory, anyway. Better figure out a way out of this mess and how to control your strange abilities before it's too late.

6. FIGHTING FOR THE WRONG SIDE - Uh, oh. Looks like your enemies decided to take advantage of your confused state and convinced you that you're on their side. Here's to hoping your allies can get you back to yourself before you cause some serious damage.

7. JUST TOO TRAUMATIC - You just saw something that's so traumatic you lost your memory because of it. Unfortunately, right now, you have to remember it, or else something really bad happens. Hope you don't regret remembering this!

8. I DON'T WANT THIS - You've been living a peaceful, ordinary life, for a while. And you'd rather it stay that way, because you're not sure if you'd want to remember what went before. Unfortunately, something's coming, and the key to stopping it lies in your memories.

9. NO SUCH THING - Maybe you were a wizard, or a werewolf, or an angel, or a demon, or something else entirely before, or maybe you just knew about the masquerade. Sadly, you've been knocked on the head and now believe yourself to be a perfectly ordinary person. Magic? That doesn't exist, right? Anything can be explained with science, after all! Right?

10. I'M WHO?! - And who the hell are you? Basically, this is the wild card option! Combine one of the above or make up a new one or whatever you want! Go wild!

[M/f for shipping things, everyone welcome for everything else. Factory reset/hard reboot, anyone? Or Aaron can try to help, but lbr. It's Aaron. That will probably go poorly. Let me know if you want to work something out ahead of time!]

[This isn't even close to Monica's worst nightmare. She's seen too much. She's been mentally scarred and had to fight broccoli people. THIS? This is just ☠️☠️☠️☠️ ANNOYING.]

What do you mean you don't know who you ☠️☠️☠️☠️ are? I was gone for an hour! How do you lose your memory in an HOUR?

[~~Nextwave~~ Marvel: Do not leave your robots unsupervised in case of mysterious plots starting.]

There is no call for that kind of language.

[He even manages to look a little put-out by it, even though he doesn't really have much space for expressions.]

I do not know who I am. I thought it was a clear statement, but I can explain further if required. As for an explanation of losing my memory database in an hour, I can compile a list of possible scenarios if that would help.

[Okay .....WHAT. Just .....stopped yelling because. WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH AARON "NEVER HELPFUL TO SQUISHY HUMANS" STACK?]

Okay.

Or maybe you were replaced with another robot......

[Like an evil robot but ...the opposite.]

[No, there's no way she'd be that ☠️☠️☠️☠️ lucky. If that was the case she'd just have to get the team together and rescue the metal moron. .....okay not lucky but it would be a lot easier. She hates her life.]

No, your name is Aaron Stack, you're a member of the team Nextwave and I left you here for an hour while I went and met with a contact.

[The contact was to see if they could possibly sue H.A.T.E but apparently blind lawyers get picky about who they work pro bono for these days. ~~She knew she should have gone with She-Hulk~~]

[He frowns, trying to fit her words with his memory banks, complete with an obliging whirring sound as he goes through them, but ultimately there's nothing there to fill in the gap she's looking for.]

I have no recollection of that name, or Nextwave, however I have cataloged it. Your assistance is appreciated. My memory database only extends for the past twenty three minutes, which admittedly seems unusual that someone would create a robot only to abandon it without providing it with any guidance or directives.

[A pause, and then, helpfully:]

The only logical conclusion therefore would be that someone gained access to my systems in that timeframe in order to erase my harddrive. Is there anyone who would want to sabotage Nextwave equipment?

[Just running a hand down her face. She can't believe she's the one making this argument.]

☠️☠️☠️☠️ Aaron, you're a teammate not equipment. And probably. It's a long story but there's a group we're fighting against.

This seems too smart for them though. They usually just try and blow us up or drop U.W.M.D.s on us.

[This look right now? Implies she's being ridiculous. Of course he's not a teammate, he's a robot. Not a person. He's not arguing with her, but that's an extremely absurd statement all the same.]

If you say so.

What's a UWMD?

[This is her life. This is her life.

Half of her wants to record him saying that again so she can have it for the future when he gets annoying, and the other half is well aware she needs to keep him away from the rest of the team when he's saying ☠️☠️☠️☠️ like that because if she doesn't, when he DOES get his memory back she is going to spend the rest of her LIFE breaking up fights.]

I do and I'm the team's leader so I know what I'm talking about.

[She sighs.]

A UWMD? It's Unusual Weapons of Mass Destruction. Think mad scientists play toys gone wrong. They're usually really obvious things though. Giant monsters, talking dinosaurs....genetically altered ....everything.

[Yeah, okay, human female leader. He won't argue, clearly that won't get anywhere.

So instead, moving on.]

...I suppose that is one way to disrupt things. I see how you don't think it's them, it is clearly beyond their abilities. Another organization, then?

We've never really had another one after us before.

[Because Beyond corp was more then enough and Dirk Anger was a pain in the ass.]

It could be someone targeting the team, or you personally.

[Also if it is someone on their team pulling a prank she's going to lose the rest of her mind.]

The first thing you remember, was there anything at all around? People, a ship flying away, anything?

Hey, can you tell me what year it is?

Aaron Stack | Nextwave/some version of marvel? | ota
