You laugh until you cry; you cry until you laugh

Who: Virgo musicians - Ghost Quest people and their friends
What: When eight musicians go missing, what happens to those left behind? What happens when those eight come back far worse for the wear?
When: Feb 1st-3rd and after
Where: Virgo HQ
Warnings: Talk of torture, violence, brainwashing, etc. It's ugly in here, folks.

The past three days have not been kind. The hauntings were odd, yes, but when your friends went missing without warning or a trace - well.

How have you been coping? Have you been coping?

And then they came back just as suddenly, and...it looks like your worries were not unfounded.

This isn't good, is it.

It's more that it's easier for her to ask about family than it is about magic, as magic is still a completely foreign concept to her. "Honestly, I can see it," she replies gently. "You do care about everyone, after all." She pauses, trying to put the pieces together and not quite managing it. "But how do the memories fit in with all of this? Is your family here?" There certainly weren't any dragons here - but if that was the case, why would she remember meeting one, and know his name?

It's not like Greg was looking at her anyway, so his avoiding eye contact isn't as easy to pick up on this time. "I don't know. The more I learn about me, or the me in my memories, the less it adds up." Whenever he thinks too hard about it, it feels like he's chasing his tail. "I think it's people we could have been, or might be, or something. And for whatever reason, that wigs the bigwigs bigtime."

"Greg, I seem to have met a dragon, " she reiterates with a wry smile. "Nothing is adding up."

She falls silent as he continues, thinking. She knows who she is, so why do these memories feel so familiar? Why is she only getting them now, when she hasn't had them before ever in her life? "I wonder why," she says quietly, almost thinking out loud. "A few days ago, you said there were odd things occurring. Do you think it's connected?"

"It's gotta be, right?" His face screws up. "I just can't figure out how. Like, all sorts of weird stuff goes down around here, I guess there's gotta be something to it." The biggest part that's baffled him for the longest: Why them?

"Have you talked to anyone else about it?" He sure hopes he's not her primary source for weirdness updates, because boy, he is as lost as ever.
