I. Missed Connections -

Having lived in Antarctica and then going immediately into an expedition to another galaxy with little to no chance of getting back to earth had prepared John for living in an less-than-ideal state of rapid communication. Even when they did connect back to earth, the early 00's wasn't as...dependent on the internet as now.

He comes from the land of DVDs, basically.

So in an attempt to bolster morale (as well as his own morale) he's going around personally inviting people to watch movies. Scrounging up what he could from the nearest thrift shops had left him with a collection that was...wanting, but right now it was all they had.

You may find John approaching you with a bowl of freshly-popped popcorn and a handful of DVDs presented to you anywhere within ADI grounds or the apartments in the evenings. Yes, he's sneaking into empty offices to watch movies during the workday. What of it?

"Pick your poison. I've got Sharknado, Speed 2, the Phantom Menace, and Legally Blonde."

II. Without a Trace -

Part A -

It started insidiously. Walking into a room and forgetting why he was there, misplacing a pen, a couple of confused words, all things that could happen on any normal day.

But the thing is, he's been here before. There was a disease that ravaged Atlantis, one that had robbed people of all their memories, leaving them in a confused, amnesiac state, that had nearly destroyed the expedition. Some parts of it were fuzzy but he remembers what it was like, knowing nothing, the panic, confusion, the horror, pointing a gun at Ronon and being prepared to shoot him--

--it can't be happening again. It just can't. He's probably just imagining things, and maybe that situation had scared him badly deep down so he was just overly cautious--

--but the next time he found himself down the road with absolutely no memory of how he got there, he takes action immediately. He makes notes, plans, takes pictures--and as he's running around ADI or the town, if he sees you, he'll immediately let you know--

"There's something causing memory loss--you need to prepare yourself. Write a note, take a video, anything!"

Part B -

It's gone. It's all gone and he knows...things, he knows that the sky is blue and how gravity works and how to read and do math, but he doesn't know who he is. John is wandering around buildings, streets, looking terrified, confused, worried.

There's notes all over his pockets, a few things scribbled on his hands. He stops by a tree or a wall, wringing his hands, remembering to look in his pockets from time to time.

He takes out a Polaroid. It's a picture of Rodney McKay. On the bottom of the Polaroid, there's a scribbled note.

Find Rodney McKay. IMPORTANT!!!

"Have you seen this man?" John holds the picture up if someone passes by, frantic.

Part C - [OOC Note: Please only take this one if your character is able to convinced not to spill the beans to ADI. Thanks!]

Little did amnesiac!John know, that original!John has been feeding his favorite Entity quite regularly, so his cat-like abilities and claws were always readily accessible (after their encounter with the Stars in Dogtown, he refuses to be any length of time without them). So when Amnesiac John gets startled, well--

--out comes the claws as he jumps wildly back. Maybe he's latched onto a wall. Maybe he's latched onto your face.

He's just as surprised as you are.

"What the hell!?"

III. Wildcard - Anything goes!
