Is this about Crow?

[motiv8]

Yes

I got him home but if there's anything you know of that helps I'd greatly appreciate it

[fiddlestick]

I'm sorry, but I don't really. I've never seen a case quite like this before.

I mean, there's been people who got lost in their memories, that can happen to anyone if they're not careful. But it's not to the point that they actually forget their current lives, and it usually only happens when they get a new memory.

When I was with him, the only thing that seemed to help was taking his phone.

[motiv8]

It's something to go on, at least. He'll probably let me have it if I ask, so at least it's a step hopefully forward

He's been getting better as we've made our way back at least, and he recognized Pachinko without any pro jh

[That's all Elliot gets for a minute or two, before Rean texts again]

he demanded pets. I think he's worried too

[fiddlestick]

Awww Pachinko.

I can't blame him, I'm worried too. The memories can be scary enough without them replacing memories in this life.

[motiv8]

Make that three of us

He mentioned it feeling like a migraine, I'm wondering if I shouldn't check his temp too. He's been working even harder than he'll let me, I wouldn't be SURPRISED if he got himself sick by overworking

do you know if heatstroke can give you a fever?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah...he's been really pushing himself this month. He's been so much help, but that stress would wear down on anyone eventually.

No idea. But I don't think it can hurt to check?

1/2

[motiv8]

[A few minutes later:]

He said with heatstroke you don't sweat but he's feeling better anyway. He's got a bit of a temp but nothing that doesn't make sense given he was saying he had a migraine

2/2

[motiv8]

I got his phone

The app is gone






Flickering but mostly gone

[fiddlestick]

What??

Like it's being removed??

[motiv8]

There's just an empty spot where it should be, where it WAS when I turned it on. Every once in a while it blinks back but it's gone again

I tried tapping the empty spot to see if it was just a graphics error but nothing

The phone is really warm too

[fiddlestick]

Okay that's really really bad.

You don't think...he's going to be taken off the app do you?

I always thought leaving the app was an instant thing, but what if it isn't always...?

[motiv8]

I have no idea

[Several minutes of radio silence.]

Sorry I'm trying not to freak out too much in front of him. Last thing he needs right now is worrying about me when he's the one suffering

[fiddlestick]

Oh no, it's okay.

[he was worried when Rean went silent, but still. He can get it]

Is there anything I can do?

[motiv8]

I don't think so

Unless you know of some way to emergency reinstall the app




...I wonder if rebooting his phone will work? That's how Yuuki and I fixed time being broken

[fiddlestick]

No, I don't I'm afraid.

I mean, you might as well try? Better than doing nothing.

[motiv8]

Figured as much

All right, I'll give it a try. I'll let you know if anything happens one way or the other, okay?

[fiddlestick]

Okay.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. Literally.

[motiv8]

[A solid 8 to 10 minutes later...]

Good news

Rebooted phone while he and I were talking about the door he remembers, app looks mostly stable now. Kinda flickers every now and again like a faulty sign or something but it's way better than it was

Crow's sitting up again and he seems a lot better, Pachinko seems to be calming down too so I'm thinking maybe we'll be okay

[fiddlestick]

Whew...what a relief.

I mean, we should probably still keep an eye on him just in case, but it's good to know it's getting better.

Thanks Rean.

[motiv8]

Believe me, I'm not planning on taking mine off of him.

If anything changes, I'll let you know, but I think for right now at least you can breathe easy.

Thanks for hearing me out on all this

[fiddlestick]

Alright. I'll keep my phone on so you can reach me.

Hey, it's no problem. I care about Crow too.

[motiv8]

[A bit later:]

I know you do! Sorry, didn't mean to imply otherwise.

Just figure if you're already concerned about him and, well, everything else, last thing you need is dealing with me on top of it all. That's what the thanks was for.

[fiddlestick]

You're fine! You didn't imply anything. I was just saying.

Don't worry Rean. I don't mind dealing with you at all. If anything, it's reassuring knowing you're there.

[motiv8]

All right.

I'll let you know if anything changes, but for now, I think everything's under control. Thanks again.
