[hello luceti. there is currently a (possibly familiar) green-haired child hiding behind community building 5, wearing a pretty new-feather dress. are those pretty? i think they're pretty.

the kid looks kinda scared, huddled against the wall like that, and shivers on occasion while poking around with the magical bookmunicator.]

...I wish this book was a map.

What are you talking about? You just told me a while back that you were here for years!

I did? But I've never been here before today. Did I really say that?

Of course! [But Ion sounds sincere, and there's no way he would play a prank like that.] Ughhh, this is probably some weird thing the Malnosso did to you! Do you know where you are? I'll come pick you up!

[the fact she sounds so sure makes him feel...unsure. did he really forget? did something happen? is he in trouble!?]

...I don't know where I am. There's some buildings, and a road, and lots of trees.....

Ummm, can you move your journal around? There's some sort of fontech in there that lets me see what you're seeing. Then I can probably figure out where you are!

Like this?

[look, he's moving his journal! this area probably looks familiar...]

[It takes a few moments, but Anise is able to figure out exactly where he is.]

Right! I'll go get you, so don't move!

[No, you may not follow people into vans. Not even if they have candy.]

O-okay!

[sitting very still just as ordered!!]

[YEAH you better sit still ~~or Anise is gonna have to smack~~]

[It takes a few loooooong minutes, but Anise finally arrived at a quick jog, panting slightly.]

Jeez, Ion! I wish you'd be more careful!

[Seeing Anise run towards him, joyfully begins to get up--and then he notices something he'd missed when she said it before.]

...But Anise, I'm not Ion.

...

What?

I'm not Ion. I'm Florian.

[....the confused look on her face is making him shrink a little.]

Did the Malnosso do something to you? It's kinda weird for them to just make you think your name got changed, but they've done even weirder stuff before.

...But...you gave me this name, Anise..... [deflating so much right now gosh this is heartbreaking.]

Huh? No way! You're Ion. Why would I give you a new name?

...And why are you in a girl's dress?

Because I'm not Ion, I'm Florian!

I woke up with this dress...

Gaaaah, I don't get this at all! Come on, let's go back to the house first. Maybe you'll remember who you are when you get there!

..........Okay.

[She leads the way back, turning to flick a worried glance at him every so often.]

So...what's the last thing you remember? You were just at the house earlier. Did the Malnosso snatch you up for a few hours?

[when she glances back she'll see him looking incredibly dejected as he trudges along after her.]

...I was helping Pamela with chores, and then I was here. I don't remember being at a house.

[Um, what? Not a Malnosso research facility or anything like that? Maybe they implanted false memories into Ion...Anise decides to play along for the moment.]

Pamela? You mean, mama? But why? I thought you'd be cooped up doing paperwork!

Paperwork? I don't have any paperwork...

You're the Fon Master! Of course you have paperwork!

But I'm not the fon master!

[Hmm, Ion or Florian or whatever he's calling himself is looking pretty upset. Anise tries to soften her tone.]

Maybe I really mistook you for someone else. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?
