You find yourself stranded as wild images flash before your eyes with blinding speed. Ever so slowly, sanity reasserts itself and lucidity returns. You feel . . . strange. As you shake your head and attempt to make sense of the incomprehensible, a silent figure dressed inconspicuously in shadows appears before you. A voice breaks the silence:

This incongruous remark makes you smile. You can not help but think you are not the only person present with addled senses. Still smiling, you gaze at the man and ask , "Oh?"

I know it's hard to believe.
But something happened.
Your memories and my self were somehow ....diverted....from our rightful locations.
I assume you don't remember anything?

You are about to make a slighty sarcastic comment on that particular point when you realize you do indeed have some holes in your memory. And the holes aren't all that small either. In fact, you can sum up your total memories quite easily: you remember shaking your head just a little while ago.

Feels like something is missing, right?
I know, I feel it too.
I'm missing everything but memories.

So, "who am I? "you ask the black-clad person. He gives you a slow, easy smile and answers cryptically:

I see your personality is still intact.
This is going to be a long night.....
