[we're gonna make this the inn to make it easier! that is to say, sora's running around outside and his makeshift bandages are probably coming loose (and he's also probably still in his pajamas like a smart person), but when he comes back to the inn it's with the intention of checking on everyone he can.
which is why when he sees someone familiar he has no problem wandering up to him. it's maybe a little closer than he's expecting but sora's still out of reach enough for comfort. he Remembers last week.]
Guess you were right. It was a good thing to have those rules in place.

[ Vezda is sitting there with his head in his arms, but looks up when he hears Sora approaching. ]
Pfft. Yeah. I wasn't expecting us to need them again so soon, though.
Pfft. Yeah. I wasn't expecting us to need them again so soon, though.
Me either. [he will have a seat nearby.] But at least we know what to do tomorrow. That's...a good thing, right?
[...maybe.] Were you out looking this morning with everybody else?
[...maybe.] Were you out looking this morning with everybody else?
Yeah. I was checking some of the rooms in the space station.
We stuck around town. What'd you guys find out there?
A container of lye. A bloody labcoat. Some hair. [ Dragging his hand down his face: ] Bloody surgical tools.
We found hair, too, over in the emporium. And a bloody t-shirt. [...] But bloody surgical tools isn't really too promising.
[big ol' yikes!] What's lye?
[big ol' yikes!] What's lye?
Corrosive substance. It's got a lot of uses, but one of the big ones is dissolving bodies.
[he immediately regrets asking.]
You don't think we're missing an entire body, do you?

[wednesday has already been a very long day for a variety of reasons, but after a slew of dinosaur adventures sora finds himself wandering the village to take a break. on the other hand, he'll never say no to talking to someone he recognizes, and as he spots vezda ahead he walks a little quicker to approach.]
What do you think? Better or worse than last week?
What do you think? Better or worse than last week?
What, the location? [ He shrugs. ] About the same as last week. Better food here, but I could do without the whole "going blind or deaf or not feeling anything" thing all the time.
I can't think of many people who're happy about that. [he raises an eyebrow.] Is your loss or whatever changing? Or do you just mean in general?
Yup. Monday I couldn't smell. Yesterday I couldn't see. Today I don't have any sense of touch. Which apparently means no pain either.
Got bitten by a dinosaur earlier and didn't even notice it until a while later.

On the one hand that's probably a good thing because that sounds really painful. On the other hand, that's probably bad and please tell me you got that looked at already.
[ waves a hand dismissively ]
Yeah, yeah, I hit up first aid earlier. If nothing else, not feeling pain made it a hell of a lot easier to disinfect. We'll see if it holds, though. I don't know how to treat dino bites--I've only fought them once before, and I didn't get bitten that time.

They can't be that different from other large predator bites, but I've never really dealt with real dinosaurs before. [the dinosaur dream eater does not count. on the other hand, excuse him, he's raising his eyebrows a bit at that.]
When...exactly...did you fight dinosaurs?

[ He squints as he tries to recall. ]
1940, maybe? 1941? It had to have been pretty early on, not long after I met first met Cap...

I didn't think they existed around then. Where'd they even come from? [hm.] And who's Cap?
[this is a lot of questions but he's interested if only because this is one of the more bizarre things he's heard.]

Found frozen in an iceberg. They defrosted it for some natural history exhibit, but some Nazi scientists found a way to mind control them and started attacking stuff. [ shrugs ] Typical Nazi mad science stuff.
Cap is Captain America. He was my partner throughout the war, but when this dinosaur thing happened, it must've been not long after...

[ oh. oh shit. oh fuck. ]
...I don't remember. I don't remember how I met Cap.
Shit!
...I don't remember. I don't remember how I met Cap.
Shit!
[first of all, he was sorely tempted to ask what a nazi was but oh no. ohhh no that is definitely the sign of a man who had no idea until it came up. so he approaches this calmly, eyes a little wide as he thinks of what to say.
it sucks? it totally sucks.]
This place really likes to take away the important things. But you remember who he is still, right? You remember his name and his face?

Yeah. Yeah, I do. [ Thank god for small mercies, he supposes. ]
But it was--that day was important. Damn, I don't even remember why now.

Okay. Okay um...think about it for a second. Do you remember when you met him? Like what season, anything?
No, I--no. Crap.
I know it had to be sometime in 1940, because that's when I started working with him. I know it was between the training and our first missions, but I couldn't tell you what months either of those happened.
[ and that's not the memloss at work, that's just BEING OLD, baybeeeee ]

[sir your age.]
You have a timeframe, at least. So that's a start. What were you working with him on? Like--wait is he the guy who had the shield first? [he remembers things sometimes.]
