4th floor common room - Late morning

Mayhap she should have asked Jonothon for help. It'd have been faster, of that she was certain. She'd seen one of the instructors of the gym insert the shiny disc in a black box and then there'd been images on the television. So far, she'd managed to turn on the television. And then she was stuck.

"You could help," she accused Pounce.

You need to learn to find your own way, Pounce told her, staying on his spot on the coffee table to observe her.

Sarden cat. "I'd not have taught this is of great importance," she told Pounce and randomly started pushing buttons on the black boxes underneath the television.

It's th-

She'd hit a button and the stereo installation lit up, music suddenly blaring through the common room. Pounce yowled and Beka hit the button again. Silence returned instantly, but Beka thought she'd might be deaf for the rest of the day.

[Open, of course. Pounce's responses not for radio, please. Since no one but Beka can understand him.]

"Memory exercises?" he asked thoughtfully. "Like aerobics?"

"I think my rememberance would be very low at the beginning," he said, considering the idea anyway. "I don't know how fast I'd learn despite the exercises."

"I might try," Jonas said, just slightly hesitant. "My memories, the way I remember things is...different than others. I have a difficult time."

"It takes me...longer to remember things over long periods of time," he said carefully.

"It's hard to explain," he said and rubbed the back of his neck. "Making memories...isn't something I do easily and that's not because of my home being different than this place."

"It would be," he said after a moment, "but since they haven't left the Community, they'll believe what they know is all they need to know."

"It's..." He paused and looked down. "To others like yourself, it might look like that. Those in the Community, they don't see it like that."

"They see what they're told to see," he answered carefully.

"No questions are asked," he said, nodding. "They don't...know what to ask about."

"I...was able to leave due to my Assignment," he said, half lying and hating that he was. He'd been granted the permission to do so but he still hated it.

"It's hard to explain," he said, looking away again. "I was but I wasn't. I know that doesn't make sense. Not much of what I say does."

"It's all very confusing," he agreed, taking a slow breath. "I keep hoping it will get easier."

"That's more difficult than it seems," he said and bit his lower lip. "I'm trying."
