Do they have affiliated universities?

Permalink

Yeah: one is with the University of Britechester and the other is with the Foxbury Institute. Both names sound familiar to her.

Permalink

She'll call those after Landgraab gets back to her.

This is stressful. Does her phone have any games on it or anything?

Permalink

It has a few, like Birdy Flap and a Sudoku app, but she doesn't get to play for very long as the Landgraab people pick up six minutes after that.

"Landgraab Real Estate, where your housing dreams come true, this is Julia speaking, how can I help you?"

Permalink

"Hi, my records show that I bought a house from you, uh, today, and now I have... amnesia or something, and I'm trying to reconstruct my... life. Can you tell me everything you have on record about an Elspeth Cullen who bought -" She gives her address.

Permalink

"Certainly. Can you please answer a few questions to confirm your identity?" And she asks for Elspeth's date of birth, last three digits of her ID number, and last four digits of her phone number.

Permalink

Conveniently all facts she actually knows!

Permalink

"I will send a text to the phone number on file that matches the information you just have me with everything we have on you."

And her phone buzzes immediately with a text that includes her full name, phone number, current address, date of birth, and full ID number.

Permalink

"- thanks. Is that - everything you have - do you even know who my realtor was -"

Permalink

"I'm afraid that is all the information we have."

Permalink

"I didn't have a, a guarantor, or a previous address on file with you, or - anything?"

Permalink

"We don't have any other information on you."

Permalink

"...thanks."

She hangs up. Calls Foxbury.

Permalink

"Welcome to the Foxbury Institute. Do you wish to apply to study here?"

Permalink

"No, I'm calling to inquire about one of your faculty members, Dr. Cullen."

Permalink

"You can find the emails of all faculty members on our website."

Permalink

"...I guess that will do, sure. Thanks."

She will email both Doctors Cullen from both colleges in this manner, explaining that she has amnesia and is trying to find her family and do they have a relative named Elspeth.

Permalink

They don't immediately reply. They might be teaching a class or something, given the time of day.

The screen is now at 628.

Permalink

She's out of ideas for people to call.

She'll fill in her Simbook page with everything she can think of and write a status about having amnesia and trying to figure out where she's been all her life in case anyone will notice that and have something helpful to say.

Permalink

629. 630. 631. 632...

An hour and a half later, at 648, the Doctor Cullen from the University of Britechester replies to her email saying she is not aware of anyone called Elspeth Cullen.

Permalink

Okay. Maybe the Foxbury one. Or maybe the doctor at the hospital will give her some - pills or something - and everything'll make sense. (Again? She has no memory of things making sense except a vague sense that they're supposed to.)

Permalink

By the time number 653 buzzes on the screen, the Foxbury Dr. Cullen has not replied to her email yet.

She should go to desk C, where a smiling man awaits.

Permalink

"Hello. My name's Elspeth Cullen and I have retrograde amnesia."

Permalink

"That sounds worrying. Can you list your symptoms?"

Permalink

"Uh, earlier today I found myself in my new house and I realized I couldn't remember any events of my life up until that point. I don't know where I moved from, who my family members are, where I went to school, or anything like that. I've been trying to find my family online - I have an ID so I know my name isn't something I made up on the spot - but haven't made any progress yet."
