Re: Adventure 1: The Iceman Cometh
In reply to Aubrey St. Claire (msg # 535):
"That's...odd..." Joseph says, more to himself than anyone else, as he removes his leather slouch hat and scrubs his fingers through his dark hair.
"Now that you remind me, I do recall you telling us that the gentleman had thawed and was still among the living. But...Aubrey, old man, I swear to you, I can clearly remember you telling us that said block of ice had fallen from the sky! And yet...none of the rest of you remember that?"
"I recall you, sitting in the café, railing against your fellow scientists, stating that you could almost understand their lack of interest in the rarity of a man frozen solid who regained life after thawing out, but as the man had fallen from the sky encased in ice, you just couldn't believe their near-total lack of interest."
"And no one else remembers this? I mean, it's not some vague recollections, fellows, this is a strong memory, as clear to me as if it had happened only an hour ago. Huh."
Joseph frowns and scans the faces of his companions, looking for a sign that someone remembers what he does. His gaze stops on Brie, and he gives a small shrug.
"I just don't get it. Unless you've been casting magic spells on me, Miss Brie." he adds with a grin.
