Ah. Hello.
[ he'll just approach her wherever she is. He's practicing talking to people and not being offputting, which is hard when your charisma score is an 8. ]
Is it more or less odd to pretend that we all haven't read about each other on this ... device yet?

[she has indeed read enough to realize there is a large frog person here, but that does not stop her from looking his way, wide eyed, a few seconds longer than natural. reflexively, as she realizes that she's doing this:]
—Sorry. [...] It might not have been odd to pretend until you mentioned it? But now it, um, probably would be. You're - Gerard, right?
[low charisma handshake]

...Did they call you that, or is that a self given title?
[little bit concerned, but she moves on quickly.]

[ but yeah, also brushing past it. time to get into his horrible childhood later. ]
Hm. I ... think they may actually be. Erasure is not a light threat. It's certainly more permanent than death.

[pausing for a few seconds, thinking.]
How did it work? The similar magic you encountered. Where I'm from, it's - there are some things that can't be reversed. Or at least, we haven't found a way yet. Entropy, the flow of time - you might be able to pause them, but you can't wind them back.
[sounding pretty fascinated! nerd]

I think maybe the problem is that I don't understand how it works, exactly. Just that we very much need to stop it, because as you said, there are some things that simply can't be reversed.
But this is the power to rewrite everything. Everyone's stories. Or simply erase them. Be done with it. Some think simple oblivion is better than living the same story over and over.
