I suppose there's no choice but to participate in this "game" if we want to regain our memories and abilities -- and possibly find a way home, too.

My name is Edgar, and I'm a Player this round. If anyone would care to be my Weapon, there's a Memory Charm in it for you.

Yes, I am. Euphie? That's such a lovely name. I'm honored to make your acquaintance.

[was there someone else here? because Edgar is paying him no mind.]

[themerryway]

[ She smiles ] Thank you... it's good to meet you as well, Edgar. Um-- Sherlock said you were interested in taking him as your Weapon, is that right?

[bitofafiction]

[He raises his eyebrows slightly.]

[womenwouldgrieve]

[oh, right. He continues to smile, and nods to Sherlock.]

That's right, though I can't imagine why he would wish to leave your side. I certainly wouldn't.

[bitofafiction]

[quietly] You offered me a Memory Charm.

[themerryway]

[ Oh my. This man certainly is charming. She blushes just a little and smiles nervously. ] Ah, did he really? I can see why you'd be tempted, then, Sherlock.

[womenwouldgrieve]

That's true, I did. [Hmm, an interesting reaction.]

According to the manual I was given, all that need be done is for you, Miss Euphie, to tell your glove that you'll be transferring Sherlock to me.

[bitofafiction]

[He nods.]

That is the case as far as I know, yes.

[themerryway]

Yes! Umm... [ she digs through her pocket and pulls out the glove. Putting it over her hand, she speaks into her palm ] I'd like to transfer Sherlock to Edgar, thank you. [ Then puts the glove away. ] That should do it... is the mark different now?

[womenwouldgrieve]

The mark? [He skimmed over that section of the manual. He pulls his PDA from his pocket and turns it on] I'm not sure, but I do recall seeing some sort of option on this device for tracking the Weapons that I... er, "own". [he says the word with disdain, while scrolling through the functions trying to find what he was looking for]

[bitofafiction]

[with a slight smile] At least that is a better test than shaking your hand and seeing if it hurts.

[themerryway]

Oh, my mistake then... umm... [ she peers over at the device Edgar holds ] Yes, that seems like a good idea.

[womenwouldgrieve]

Ah, here. [He's found the option, which was greyed-out before; selecting it shows Sherlock standing almost on top of the indicator for the PDA itself] It looks like it was successful.

I thank you, Euphie. [A small bow. And then, from his pocket, he procures a Memory Charm and hands it over to Sherlock. But when he speaks again, it's to Euphie. Again.] When I get the chance, I'll gladly purchase another for you.

[Edgar is welcome to ignore Sherlock in favour of Euphie, because Sherlock is now ignoring them both in favour of adding this Memory Charm to the two he is already wearing.

The first time he celebrated his birthday. Yes, he knew that was missing. A smile crosses his face; of course Tony and Jarvis got him a cake.

Give him a moment and he may even remember to say thank you.]
