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

[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."

Phone, he's at 50%

...It does?

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

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

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.]

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

[identity profile] redirections.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
How do you know I just got here? I don't remember ever meeting you in either version...

[He's a little resistant, because if that's the case...then a lot of unpleasant things really did happen...]

"You... Just said you did. Then you went on about always being here. Since the fake memories are you've been here forever... Uh... Simple elimination?"

I don't...just when one seems real, the other seems realer...

...Maybe I'm just fucking nuts. And maybe you're just as crazy a bastard as I am...

"Nuts? I usually get called an idiot. But I know this place is bad news and does stuff to your brain."

I've never had anything bad happen to me before--

They fuck with our brains? Great. Just fucking great.

"Yeah they do."
