[video, backdated to 9/7]
[HELLO, it is Ike. Long time no see.]
Well, I'm back. I know I've never been much good at keeping up with the network, but I figured I'd make a post to say so. I haven't been gone for long, but it still feels like it's been a while. It's been... Two months, more or less. But now that I'm back...
[Ike's not as keyed up as when he arrived the first time. He's calm, if not a tad exhausted. After that, a new emotion worms its way onto his face, one of mild irritation. He sighs.]
The headmasters re-enrolled me as a senior again. To be honest, the past year feels like a dream to me somehow. ...That doesn't make much sense, does it? You all saw me graduate, right? I don't know what went wrong with the headmasters, but there was no getting through to them. It's like they couldn't remember it at all. So this is where I'm at.
It's... not so bad. I came to terms with a few things that have been bothering me when I went back home. Now, I feel like I can focus on what I'm doing while I'm here much better than before.
[He cuts narrating his thoughts short by dragging his eyes back to the lens of the camera quite deliberately, then focusing back on his computer screen.]
...Right. Anyway, I'm back, and I'm ready to start the year. Again. That's all I really have to say. [Time to... shut this off. Yeah.]

[ACTION]
[There was a thoughtful expression that crept over Vinnie's face as he set down a giant tulip pot as carefully as he could. He was trying to downplay the possibility as much as he could, but in all honesty the sudden amnesia phenomenon still... kind of scared him.]
Sometimes people've come back without rememberin' they were ever here, I guess. Can't remember the shit they did or friends they made. Or some weird crap'll happen and only some've us remember it once it's all over with.
From the sounds've it, though, everyone else remembers you al'right. So it's probably best not t'think about it too much.
[ACTION]
[He goes quiet and doesn't listen to Vinnie's warning about thinking about it too much, because it's so believable to him. Only here would it be so believable. And to imagine everybody forgetting each other wasn't a nice thought at all.]
Has it happened to anybody you know? [Or maybe he wouldn't remember, even if it did. Okay, this whole concept was a bit confusing...]
no subject
[From the terseness of his answer, it sounded like a subject that was rather sensitive. When it came to other people, those moments were too private to share - it wasn't his place. And when it came to his own experiences, well... Maybe it wasn't frequent, but every time it hurt like hell.
Maybe that was a bit too vague for Ike to swallow though. As an addendum, he added:] Of varying degrees.
no subject
... I'm sorry to hear that. It seems too cruel to be dismissed as just a part of how this place works, but I'm sure others have already tried finding answers to these instances of amnesia.
[Though Vinnie didn't show it much, Ike was certain he cared. And plenty of other people at the school would care if the memories of their friends were tampered with. It would be impossible for these people not to demand answers to a mystery that could cause this much pain.]
Is... there nothing that can be done to restore their memories?
no subject
[Vinnie shrugged, trying not to make a big deal of it. It was kind of a long shot for that happening anyway, so it was best not to hold out hope.]
no subject
I want to say that it would be best to look at the bright side, but if I were in a position like that... I know it wouldn't be that simple.
[At least it seemed uncommon. He hoped it could stop altogether, really.]
