[ Peter doesn't look entirely pleased, but for the most part he's just sort of hanging out at work, taking a breather and all that. It's not like there's a million and a half things to do once you're done cleaning out the ambulance and so here he is, ready to face the world and... pose a question.

He... really doesn't like putting his face on the network very much though. But, even so- ]

Anyone here ever lose time? I don't mean going back home or finding out that you've been here before and don't remember. I mean, just- [ He's reaching for words here, glancing off for a second. ] One second you're some place, and then another you're somewhere else and two days have gone by. And you weren't anywhere during all of it. Just misplaced.

And I'm not talking about amnesia. Been there, done that. I still remember all those days now that i've got my memory back. It's different.

I'm talking about just losing your place here. I don't even remember where I went. If I went anywhere at all. I know where I was, and then the next thing I knew two days had gone by and I don't know where the hell they went.

[ He huffs a breath, looking a touch concerned before he gets over himself and hops down from where he was sitting. ] Figured i'd see if anyone else had been through the same thing.

[Jim actually-- sounds serious for once? Semi-serious, at any rate.]

Hey. Where are you?

[askedtobe]

[ .... Why do you sound serious, that's weird. ]

Leaving work? Still in Heropa.

[wow he is a serious captain with a serious face sometimes he can be serious gosh. BUT HE DOES MAKE AN EFFORT TO SOUND A BIT LESS-- you know, the word 'serious' has appeared here too many times already but he's making an effort to sound more not-that.]

Let's meet up. I'll buy this time around.

[inmyothertights]

That sounds not okay. At all.

[askedtobe]

[ Yeaaaaahh. ]

My thoughts exactly.

[inmyothertights]

So like.

You just lost time.

[brushoff]

Kind of? But, well...you're really not going to like my answer. [ because he 'lost time' when he died and wow what a great topic to start up with this total stranger ]

[askedtobe]

Try me. [ He doesn't look overly distressed by whatever this guy might be about to tell him. ] I'd rather know what happened than not have a clue.

[brushoff]

You insist. I lost about twelve or so hours one time after I died. Burned to death, right in my room. Thankfully, my flatmates had enough sense not to bury my corpse because I revived some time later, in one piece, like nothing had happened to begin with.

[ all this is said very matter-of-fact, like Dorian's reciting the plot to a movie. ]

I lost a week once. From what I was told by the people who remained here, I wasn't around for that week. No one could find me, and I was off network.

To me, no time passed at all.

[askedtobe]

That's what i've been told, too. Disappeared off the map. It was like blinking, I didn't even know any time had gone by.

Any idea why it happened to you?

text | private

[lyingheart]

Not at first. It took me a while to see the difference, and it was a minor, paperwork thing with how my "porter powers" were listed.

Losing time
Doesn't that sound like
Someone
We know

[askedtobe]

Even if it does, doesn't mean anything. You just want it to.

Where are you now, Peter?

voice.

[janebond]

[ With concern, ]

Some kind of drug?

voice.

[askedtobe]

[ .... oh. Shit. That's equally as valid. ]

Wouldn't surprise me either, actually.

[pyms]

It seems like a common occurrence.

Four- five months, for me. I missed Christmas entirely.

audio;

[askedtobe]

Seriously? That long and you didn't even go home?

[ahappyending]

You're not the first it's ever happened to, I can promise you that.

[askedtobe]

At least that's something, still don't know how much better it makes me feel.

It happened to my roommate. She disappeared for awhile, but didn't return to her home. And another friend, she was gone a week.

[Elsa thinks on it a moment.]

I think the porter sometimes just sort of... pulls people out, and puts them back in at another time. All this time travel is very new to me, though.

video;

[askedtobe]

[ Maybe he just hadn't been watching the network close enough for these sorts of mentions but huh, now he's trying to be more intrigued about this than he is worried. ]

I'm not as new to time travel, but this still isn't anything like what i'm used to. Porter doesn't seem to make any sense.

[bleakmidwinter]

[Here, have the voice of medical concern? The fact that he casually mentions amnesia is worrying, okay.]

A head injury could also cause a state of amnesia. Have you experienced any difficulty with short-term memory? When you - started being aware again - were you somewhere that you recognized or somewhere unfamiliar?

audio;

[askedtobe]

[ It should probably be kind of concerning, shouldn't it. To most people. He forgets this. ]

I was somewhere familiar.
