It had already been more than a week, and they were no closer to figuring out who was responsible for bringing them all to this school than they had been on day one. It was frightening, especially for someone like Fletcher, an introvert who'd spent much of his short life sheltered by his brother. Sure, he'd been exposed to the world more in the past year than he had been before that, but that still didn't equal being enrolled in a boarding school and forced to fight other students.

He was trying to make it seem less weird by getting to know the other kidnappees and by actually attending class and doing the assigned work, which wasn't too difficult for him, though the information they were learning in History was... a bit odd, and he wasn't even sure he could attribute the discrepancies with what he knew to be true to lost memories. Another mystery he would have to somehow learn the truth behind.

For now, though, he was sitting in the Pale dorm common room, a science textbook open on the table in front of him, studying something he should have already known: The periodic table. It was frustrating; every time he got distracted by something else, all the information he'd just read went flying out of his head, and he had to start all over. He didn't realize it, but the door to the hallway was wide open.

I... the door closed on me--

[probably looks kind of pathetic!]

[greennotgold]

[He stands up and goes over to her all fretting-like.]

Um... um. What can I do? [he does not know elevators!]

[forthward]

There's a button there... I think. It should open the doors.

[points to where she can't reach the button for opening the doors]

[greennotgold]

Um. [He looks over and there it is! Reaches forward to push the button and open the doors.]

[forthward]

[the chair gets loose and Nunnally is able to get it out of the doorway]

Thank you.

[greennotgold]

You're welcome. [He smiles, finally.]

Um, are you okay here? I noticed a lot of stairs in all the buildings...

[forthward]

There is... but I'll be fine, as long as the elevators work.

[greennotgold]

I hope they do, then! They have been so far, anyway.

...I don't remember ever hearing about things like those, before. [One of his lost memories, perhaps?]

[forthward]

You don't know about them?

[greennotgold]

Uh-uh. ...and I didn't re-forget about them when I stopped paying attention, either. Not like everything else I forgot...

[forthward]

That's strange...

[greennotgold]

Y-yeah... I guess I can't know for sure until I get some Memory Charms, though.

At least they're here, though!

[forthward]

[nods... uncertain] Hopefully.
