"Raine... Protos.... Protos! I know that name!" Penny piped up "... I think..." she said before humming in thought "Oh! yes! Madeline's son works for your parents!" she gave a small bounce. The feeling of remembering something was almost invigorating "his name was..." she slumped a bit in her seat "Paul?" she shrugged before leaning on the table and supporting her head with her arms "I forget things occasionally, but this is upsetting." she said with a pout. She studied the map for a while as the group continued trying to figure things out. She was only half paying attention when the man who had provided the map said something very strange.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I can't believe that you know the King! Is he well? Is he in this 'Lenovia' place? We have all be so worried about him. The Grand Duke is the only one who tells us that the King is hard at work trying to unite the rest of the world. But it's been so long since we've had new news."</span><br/><br/>"The king?" Penny said aloud "I know the king?" she said excitedly "Or... I guess I<span style="font-style: italic">knew</span>the king." she ended with a sad chuckle. She watched squeaks dance and glide about the map for a bit as she thought. Suddenly something sparked in her mind and she looked up at the group with a twinkle in her eye<br/><br/>"Sooooo... we're all here in some place called Cardy, the king's missing, and apparently we were talking about him yesterday as well about a traitor, the Grand Duke is saying he's off hard at work 'rest assured' and the like, and today we all have memory problems," Penny picked up squeaks and let him scurry up to her shoulder "This sounds to me like we were on someone important's trail and they didn't like it and had our memories wiped!" Penny said before tucking her knees under her in her excitement<br/><br/>"If this is someone's doing, that means they wiped everyone here they thought would be a threat!... but if they were doing someone else's bidding, they'd be told where to go, what to look for and what to do when they saw what they found!" The statement didn't make much sense but Penny was assured it did "but what if they forgot some of us?" She said in a low voice, barely containing her excitement. She lifted Squeaks out to them and the Clockwork mouse stared vacantly. She was quite pleased with herself. She lowered him back onto the map and looked at him expectantly<br/><br/>"okay Squeaks!" she started "we're gonna play our little spinny game okay?" the mouse's shiny black eyes betrayed no emotion "perfect!" Penny said before clasping her hands together in front of her chin. "Alright, right spin for yes or okay, left spin for a no, right spin then a left spin for each number, alright?" the mouse gave a counter-clockwise spin "great! Penny said giddily!<br/><br/>"Let's do a test first... is my name Penny?" the machine whirred to the left and Penny clapped "okay, were we here yesterday?" the mouse spun right "are we missing anyone?" the mouse spun to the right and then to the left more times than Penny could keep track "ummm... did anyone catch how many spins that was?"
