Issue #5: I Was A Yankee Doodle Zombie (25% Droning)

[boostedfailure]

[Action 1] 1489 Kramden Road

[Mike was up with a start looking around.  Mayfield, still this hole, still, why was it he thought he had memories growing up here.  Completely nonsensical ones, maybe getting up and looking around the house would help.  Probably not though, it was still a prison.  Putting on his flight ring he let out a breath and started downstairs.]

[Phone]

"So uh, is the town trying to do something weird today?  I thought I had a dream about growing up here, and a few odd memories.  Thing is, I know they're fake, cause they say Ted never existed.  This place normally dicks with us on holidays, right?"

[Action 2] Around Town

[Booster Gold is on patrol...  Sort of.  He's flying around town looking over places with a bewildered look.]

"How the hell could I ever confuse this place for 25th century Gotham?  I mean, I'm not being shot at and I'm just up here in the air.  Ugh."

[Awkward long pause.] Fake? What do you mean a dream about living here? Haven't we always lived here? [He's so confused. Most of his memories had been replaced. He keeps getting a memory flash once in awhile about a place he feels like he should be familiar with though.]

That. That doesn't sound right though.

"Yes. Batman is totally in Mayfield in the 1950's. Or wait according to the comic I read you need to be skipping around in ridiculous red tights. Something IS messing with our minds."

[notasidedick]

Batman. What does Batman have to do with this? [The reminder of a dark night and a scalloped cape. Odd.] You've lost me. I have no recollection of any of this, but...I feel like believing what I know isn't right. But at the same time, I can't remember anything else but living here for the most part.

"Ever hear of a place called Gotham City?"

[notasidedick]

No. Yes... it scrapes at the back of my mind. [What the hell is going on.]

[Mae is sitting on the couch, her arms wrapped around her knee's. She seems to be muttering to herself.....totally sane.]

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Mae.. Are you okay?"

[He peers at her before heading out with a worried look]

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

[James, his name is James. I'm travelling with Charon my bodyguard. I got married in- No, no, no! She looks up, taking a shaking breath.]

I keep ...remembering things...that didn't happen.

.....We're not really married are we?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

[He sits next to her and shakes his head.]

"C'mon Mae. You have much better taste in men than me. I mean... There is the hint of a memory about a wedding, but I've been through mind control before, they leave out important things and this is missing them. You can see things wrong too, right?"

...did you just say Gotham.

_{( Damian sort of winces at the name, the clutches his head. When he looks up, the confused look is replaced by one of suspicion. )}

What the hell are you doing?

"Yeah, I just said Gotham."

[He stops and hovers over Damian]

"Uh, flying? Trying to clear my head. maybe a little patrolling, I dunno."

[xuffasch]

Patrolling for what, exactly?

_{( he shakes his head after a moment, as if he's trying to clear it. )}

Wait. You...

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Nothing really. Just to clear my head."

"Me what?"

Phone, he's at 50%

[redirections.livejournal.com]

...It does?

[...So he's not crazy, then? But that doesn't tell him which of the two lives he remembers having is real...]

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's what I'm finding out. You dealing with two sets of memories too?"

[redirections.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know, I just got here--I don't remember anything weird ever happening during the shitty holidays in this town, and I've been here all my life.

Yeah, I am. It's such a bother...

[He sighs.]

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"No, you just got here. There's the memory things going on."

Hey, Micha- [Even drones have their 'wtf' moments. Hal points up at him, poleaxed.]

You're flying.

[It's not that unusual, surely. Hadn't he flown, too? But that was ridiculous...right? He looks uneasily at his hand, feeling his third finger itch.]

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Course I'm flying. I'm Booster Gold. Did you really think I was just the mild mannered janitor at the hospital? Don't tell me the town's brain whammy is dicking with the Green Lanterns..."

[He has a blank look for a second]

[viridian-knight.livejournal.com]

[Hal shares in the blank look, then smiles, uncertain. 'Green Lantern', like the comic books? Why does that keep coming up today, of all days? Why does he keep remembering things he's sure didn't happen in his life?]

I...however you're doing it, I think you should come down. You're starting to disturb people.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Aww.. You're just jealous that I got my ring and yours is still missing. I bet I could totally out fly you either way."

You've got memories of another life outside of Mayfield--of this place? [That's good, isn't it? It means this is a trick. She'll wake up and all of her proper memories will be back in place, and she can go back to normal life--Back to finding a way out.]

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. The town tried some major brain washing thing. I think it overextended its power and it didn't take all the way. I can hear the other thoughts clawing at the back of my brain but... They forgot key things so it kinda fell apart."

[dimensioncannon.livejournal.com]

Her answer is immediate and beyond her control for a few moments. "Don't be silly, the town can't do anything--" No. No, no, no, she can beat this. Beat which? "This...is happening to everyone? What key things?"

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Fight it. I mean it may seem easier to just be boring old house wife whoever the town wants but... Yeah, with me it forgot Ted, with other people who knows. But it misses important facts."
