ARCADE SESSION: REBOOTED

[knux400]

You tell Echo to follow Orkahm, but to be careful. She nods, and follows Orkahm through the door. The moment Echo steps through the door, a large section of the wall disappears, revealing what would be a cozy little house... if it weren't for the fact that it looks like a tornado hit it. Objects and furniture are knocked over and strewn everywhere, there's food on the floor, and there's a trail of gemstones leading out the door.



Just, uh, grab a seat anywhere. Sorry about the mess.

You quickly inform Echo what Orkahm means by this, and she obliges, taking a fallen stool and sitting down on it.

So... First, I guess some introductions are in order. I'm Orkahm, you know me already. The one cleaning the counter over there is Ihu, the one picking up the dishes is Taipu, and... Tamaru's probably in his room.
Hi! Are you a new person?
Oh, hey.
So... What's your name? The last person to come here had one.
...I'm Echo.
Echo. Nice to meet you.
Hi Echo!!!

Orkahm quietly motions for Taipu to quiet down a bit, and she does so, still looking at Echo curiously. Ihu is content to clean the counters, offering the occasional glance in Echo's direction. You can't see Tamaru, but it looks like there's still some closed doors in the back.

...So, to my knowledge, the word 'spawn' means to create or reproduce. You seem to think this Trinket person spawned us, and while I'm still not too sure what that means, you somehow knew- or at least had an idea- of what we were before we even said anything. We didn't even tell Clemont that we were kobolds, but you... You got the idea right away. Or this Trinket person told you.
Ohhhh, Orkahm's pontificating again!!
Shush, Taipu.

Orkahm briefly glances at the two before turning back to Echo.

So to explain what I said earlier... We've been having memory issues as of late. As in, we can't remember anything since we woke up this morning. Nothing at all, just a complete blank. The strange part is that we all know who each other are, and we know that this is our home, and we even have some semblance of a daily routine. But no actual memories, just... feelings. We act like we've been living together for years, and everything we can find in here points to us having a history here, but we can't remember a single second of it.
Like this necklace, for instance.

Orkahm is holding up a handmade necklace with an emerald neatly woven into the center.

I know I made it, but I don't remember making it. It just feels like something I would make.

Echo seems unsettled as Orkahm looks her straight in the eyespots. Ihu has taken an interest in the conversation and is looking in Echo's direction, too.

If I had to guess, you would at least have some idea as to what's going on.
...And if you know anything about the creature that attacked us and tried to steal a bag of gems, that would be helpful, too.

Echo hasn't the faintest idea what's going on. She's just sitting there, staring at Orkahm with a stunned expression.
