Laurel: "Yeah?" *walks over and sits down*

Steve: So, you seem pretty cool.

Laurel: "Um, thanks."

Steve: Want a drink?

Laurel: "Sure."

Steve: *slides her a drink that looked like it came out of nowhere*

Laurel: "Thanks." *drinks it*

Steve: *his eyes seem to gleam a little bit at that* so, may I have your name?

(The drink is fine, but choose your response carefully)

Laurel: "Um...Sorel."

(Is that a nickname of sorts? Steve can tell when people are directly lying to him.)

It's what her friends call her because they don't want to say her actual name for some reason so yeah))

(Oh ok)
Steve: *glances at the clock* Gotta go. See ya, hopefully. *rushes out and seemingly disappears*

Laurel: "Ok..."

Steve: *does Steve stuff, it’s not that important rn*

Laurel: *goes home*

*she finds a sticky note on a table*

Laurel: *reads*

*the sticky note says “Remember, you owe me!” With a picture of a beer on it*

Laurel: *nods* "Alright."

Steve: *back at the tavern*

Laurel: "You said I owed you. Want a drink?"

Steve: Yeah sure. Any payment is fine, really. I could take anything you think is worth that drink.

Laurel: "Well we're here, aren't we?"

Steve: Yep.

Laurel: "Ok." *gets two drinks and gives him one* "There you go."

Steve: Aight thanks *chugs the thing* So… Sorel, hm?

Laurel: "Or Laurel, but nobody calls me that."

Steve: Do you have a last name too? It appears that many people have a last name. The place where I came from, no one had a last name! How weird is that?

Laurel: "I would, but I don't."

Steve: you…would? What does that mean?

Laurel: "A last name is what connects people to the rest of their family."

Steve: Do you have a family?

Laurel: *shrugs* "Not as far as I know."

Mary: ? *Sits by him*

Steve: So, you seem like a cool guy.

Mary: I'm a girl

Steve: Oh come on, guy is gender neutral.

Mary: Oh sorry

Steve: Oh, it’s fine. So, can I have your name?

Mary: I'm Mary

Steve: Mary what? You can’t just leave me hanging like that.

Mary: Mary Jane Verano

Steve: Huh, nice to meet you. My name is Steve. Just Steve, I got rid of my last name.

Mary: Okay but you can call me Mary. *Feels thirsty*

Steve: So, what brings you here?

Mary: I came here for something to drink.

Steve: Nice, I came here to socialize and meet new people. You want a free drink?

Mary: Yes of course

Steve: *slides her a drink that seemingly appeared out of nowhere*

Mary: What drink is this?

Steve: the good ol’ beer.

Mary: *Drinks it before feeling sick* Where's the trashcan?

Steve: *motions to one in the corner of the tavern* you good? Can you drink?

Mary: *Rushes to it before vomiting* I'm 21 but my stomach can't handle alcohol

Steve: Then why’d you drink that? Jeez, dude. If we meet again, I’ll get you water.

Mary: Because I thought it was water. And that sounds like a plan

Steve: Oh. Well, be more careful next time. Don’t want you dying from beer.

Mary: Okay thanks

Steve: *eyes gleam a bit* So, what brings you here?

Mary: I just wanted to start a new life for my family

Steve: At a tavern?

Mary: Oh I thought you meant the town and besides I already told you

Steve: Bad memory, I’ve been drinking a lot. My bad.

Mary: It's okay

Steve: *looks at a clock in the tavern* Oh, gotta go. Bye! *rushes out and seemingly disappears*

Mary: Bye. *She Walks home*

Steve: *does Steve stuff that isn’t important to the plot*

Mary: *Goes to check on her kids*

(She suddenly forgets her name and sense of self)

Mary: What who am I?

Steve: *at the tavern again after doing Steve stuff*

Mary: *Runs up to them* I need your help!

Steve: Huh? WOAH, CALM DOWN. What?

Mary: I forgot my name and who I was *Looks at you panicked*

Steve: Huh, how’d that happen?

Mary: I don't know and it has me worried

Steve: I think I can help you with that.

Mary: Really?

Steve: Yep, I’ll get you your name, and you can swap it out with something else.

Mary: Did you take my name and personality?

Steve: your personality is also gone? Jeez, what’s going on today?

Mary: I don't know but I really bed them back

Steve: Well this type of stuff is my specialty. I am skilled in these situations. Do you want your name and personality?

Mary: *Nods*

Steve: so you’ll have to lose an aspect of yourself, so choose something. It could be any trait that you have.

Mary: My sickness to chocolate

Steve: *thinks for a second* Unfortunately, that’s a bit too small. Something bigger. Like you could get rid of your curiosity? Many people have done that.

Mary: My sensitivity to loud noises

Steve: Hmmm, if you get two more, that might be enough.

Mary: My sickness to vinegar and grapes

Steve: one more?

Mary: My ability to get angry very easily

Steve: Alright, that’s good. *he touches her arm and everything comes flooding back*

Mary: *Feels a headache and woozy*

Steve: You okay?

Mary: I just need to sit down *Faints before waking up later*

Steve: *sipping some beer next to her* you awake now?

Mary: Yes

Steve: do you feel anything different?

Mary: I remember who I was and my name

Steve: Yeah, but does anything else feel different?

Mary: I don't know

Steve: Oh well, guess you’ll find out, since I’m pretty sure I removed all those things

(There really isn’t much to do anymore so how about we end this)

(Okay)
