[Shinjiro walks from his closet into the view of the camera carrying what looks like a webcam. He heaves a sigh and tosses the thing on his bed and picks up the device...

...and swears under his breath when he notices it's already on.]

Fine, smartass. You wanna turn on? Tch. Whatever.

[His eyes focus on the feed finally.]

Yuu, thanks. You know why.

[There's another, longer pause.]

So, a lotta people know this place makes you forget stuff, right? What do you guys do to try to remember?

Any of you had better luck findin' stuff to record with?

Do you keep a journal?

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Nope. Been thinkin' about it, though.

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

It might be a good idea. I've got one for my time here, and one for important things from home.

[Journals, for Mark, consist of filing cabinets full of typed documents, but the suggestion stands.]

You might want to make duplicates of things, too. In case it gets lost or ruined.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

That ain't a bad plan. [ He'd probably believe it if he forgot it, but it was in his handwriting. ]

[Minato had been busy himself with typing up everything he could after their meeting. He had planned on giving all of his senpai his notes on the events along with it.]

Just the laptop. And digital camera. [It should have a video function, though he hasn't tried it yet. But he knew for sure the closets gave those two items since his last two were stolen.]

I can teach you how to lock information to just us, Senpai.

Where the hell'd you get a laptop?

And knowin' that ain't a bad plan.

[video | SEES filter]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

The closet. It took a few tries before it worked.

[He nodded.] Any time you're available.

[Combined with Shinji's amazingly (bad) luck, this is never going to work.]

No shit? Sure. Come on over.

Most of the time, you don't even know you've forgotten something.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[And in what world is that okay?] Tch. And?

[hurricanebomber.livejournal.com]

So if you aren't aware you've forgotten something, how the hell do you expect to try and remember it again?

Besides, even if you do figure out what you forgot, it's not coming back to you.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Hang on a second. [There's a pause as Shinjiro replays their conversation to this point.] Yeah, never asked your opinion. Give it to somebody else.

I'm using pen and a notebook for now. Had to take a break though. I hope the papers in college aren't this long.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[He gives a small scoff.] You'll be fine. [The 'good luck in collage' goes unsaid.] I ain't lookin' forward to writin' a book.

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

[He smiles a little.] You think we should do different copies? I know sometimes the computers delete my files, so I thought paper might be better for mine.

[video | filtered]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Computers don't just delete files, dumbass. [He heaves a sigh.] Hard copies ain't gonna do much good if we don't remember what they're about.

Memory loss is gradual process-- one that is difficult to track. I've yet to realize what memories the Mansion stole from me when it used my past experiences for an event.

text;

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

That's why we want to write it all down.

text;

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

The subtlety of the Mansion is the problem, though. It won't strike important memories or ones that you would deem important enough to write down. It goes after your assumptions, things that you won't realize you're missing.

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

I've decided to make both paper copies and audio copies, I imagine having more than one copy of things would be best. [Epically long pause. ]

How are you doing, Shinjiro?

[Video | Private]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

[That's Mitsuru, on top of things as always.] Sounds good.

...I'm fine. You?

[Video | Private]

[bufudynes.livejournal.com]

You're having trouble finding something to record with?

I'm not the one who just found out quite a lot of...unpleasant things. [Unpleasant is a nice way to put it. Totally not answering though.]

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

It's not a problem.

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

You okay?

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I made it through alright. What about you?
