Scene 4: Nethergate Forum

Nikki is standing along in the forum with a blank look on his face. Drakefyre, Tyranicus, Lord Grimm, Sir David, and the Silent Assassin enter.

Nikki: Hey! You... um... oh, I can't remember your names. In fact, I'm not sure we've ever met before.

Drakefyre: Nikki! Where are GoldenKing and Stew Boy?

Nikki: Who? I don't remember ever knowing those people.

Tyranicus: Huh? Why can't you remember?

Nikki: Because I... I... I don't know.

Drakefyre: It looks like the thing wrecked Nikki's memory instead of his speech.

Nikki: Thing? What thing?

Tyranicus: The thing that's been attacking everyone!

Nikki: Wow. Really? I don't remember any attacks.

Tyranicus: Of course not. You don't even remember my name.

Nikki: It's... it's T... T... You're right. I don't remember. What is it, again?

Tyranicus: Tyranicus!

Nikki: Oh, right.

Drakefyre: We're wasting time. If GoldenKing's been possessed by the thing, we need to find him immediately.

Nikki: What should I do?

Drakefyre: Just follow us and stay out of the way.

Nikki: Oh, okay. Um, where are you all going?

Drakefyre: I just said that we're going to look for GoldenKing.

Nikki: Who's GoldenKing?

Drakefyre sighs.

Drakefyre: Never mind.

Drakefyre, Tyranicus, and Sir David exit. Nikki hesitates.

Nikki: What was I supposed to be doing again?

The Silent Assassin shakes his head in despair. Lord Grimm and the Silent Assassin grab Nikki and drag him out of the forum.
