[It's a cold, overcast day when Richard steps outside the house this morning, but that doesn't deter him one bit from the errands he has planned for today, even if it does cause him to duck back inside for a scarf first. It doesn't matter how much he hates the cold; today is important, so he can't wait for it to get warmer.

His first stop is the item store in search of the perfect gift. He'll probably linger around this store for the longest, because he wants to find just the right thing. After that, he'll head over to All Passions, where he makes a beeline towards the suits.

Finally, he heads to the bakery to grab a cake. This stop on his little shopping trip requires the most self-control... or not, as he'll probably end up emerging with a few more things than just a cake. Oh well, his housemates will eat them, right?

Once all of this is accomplished, he heads back to House 28, looking both very pleased with himself and just a little bit mischievous too.

He can be found in any of these locations or on the journey between them. Feel free to stop him and say hi or ask what he's up to!]

A very large household, it would appear.

[She holds out her hands.] Might I assist you with a few of your parcels?

[ledbythewind]

A large household with equally large appetites.

[... yeah, definitely not normal.]

Forgive me if this seems rude, but you sound... different today. Did something happen?

[lostinmyway]

It is not rude in the slightest--I am aware that I often seem different to others as I am now. [Even if at first it came as a surprise to her.]

The Malnosso have returned my memories to me for a time.

[ledbythewind]

Your memories?

[To be honest, Richard wasn't even aware there was anything wrong with them in the first place, beyond the fact that Grune doesn't seem to have much in the way of a short-term memory.]

[lostinmyway]

That is correct. I have been without them for the majority of my time here in Luceti.

[She gives him a curious look.] Were you unaware of this?

[ledbythewind]

[He shakes his head.]

I had always been under the impression that you were just the absent-minded sort. I didn't realize there might be more to it than that.

[lostinmyway]

It was kind of you to assume such a charitable reason for my affliction, but it is not simple amnesia that is the cause of my--unusual behaviour.

[Once again she holds out her hand.] Are you certain I cannot help you with your parcels?
