[About two days ago there was a change. It was not immediately noticeable yet it was monumental. Vincent's steps had become lighter, his smiles genuine, and when he raised his face up it was no longer with a subtle audacity. His shoulders were relaxed and for the first time in his life he walked without a weigh around his neck. He could breathe freely.
And he has not yet noticed he's lost something.
He's forgotten entirely about that woman. He's forgotten many things. They're distant things however and while they provide the background for the present they are not necessary for existence. So he still knows his acquaintances, co-workers, how old he is, and what his favorite foods are.
But he has forgotten what he is.
In the past two days he's had no inkling of the change. Yet bliss cannot last forever and at last the past will no longer allow itself to be ignored. He has come across a certain photograph and he's just puzzled by it. Straight forward and confident young man that he is, he's decided to ask around.]You know it's strange, but I cannot for the life of me remember who this is.
[He holds the photo up to his NV feed as he sits upon the ground in some grand parlor, looking utterly mystified.] It seems like it was taken at a party, or some event, given how happy I look, but I can't
remember--
[He frowns as he draws the photo back to look at it.] My...this young man had such terrible hair. It's like a perm gone bad.
[He snickers to himself and shrugs.] Maybe I was terribly drunk at the time?
[He taps his chin and looks back up at the feed.] For some reason I've found I have a hundred or so pictures of him on my NV. Is someone playing a joke? If so I don't see the punchline.
[He shakes his head.] Someone plese do indulge me if they have an idea. I'm
dying to find out.
[The feed cuts.][OOC: Part of the Wiles of Memory plot. Vincent lost his memory on the 12th but as it had no effect on his recent memories (The memories he's forgotten are connected to his childhood) he's just now beginning to notice something is wrong. Nevertheless in forgetting those memories Vincent has also had a distinct personality change (if this post was not enough to clue you in) from charmingly creepy snake in the grass to slightly neurotic, snide, but mostly pleasant young man. This will probably have been noticeable to observant people around him.
Also finally I am wrapping up this term of school and next week are finals. So no lightning speed tagging here, as a warning. If you need things hand-waved for the plot, just PM me.]
