Who: John Sheppard
Username: Pegasus
Warnings: Loss of name/identity, mild body horror

[Sheppard’s on screen looking uncharacteristically panicked. He looks like he’s been through some things, or maybe he just hasn’t been sleeping well. Dark circles are under his eyes. For a second it almost looks like he has sharp canines, and sometimes his unshaven face looks a little feline or a little feral but it’s probably just a trick of the light because he looks perfectly normal when you look again. It’s fine. He’s fine. They’re all fine here.]

I think there’s something wrong with me.

I have a first name, right? I’m not just Sheppard but that’s…

…I have a first name, right?

Who's.. Who's Steve?

[There was a face associated with that name. But oddly enough, it's been scratched out of their memory. Just like Shepard's name.]

They're an Avatar..?

[Uh Oh.]

Where did you talk to them? What did they look like?

This person I ran into, they were...well, they were on top of this empty warehouse, the ones that used to be used by Oculus, and there were all these flowers and plants everywhere. They're the ones who were making the glamours for ADI. They were pretty, kind of delicate features...I don't know if they were an Avatar or not, but--

[Raine is quiet for a while. It's clear something other than the fact that John's name is now missing troubles them about this, though what exactly troubles them is not.]

That's not good.

[They grew quiet again, and sighed.]

I don't know if there's a way to fix this. They're not just an avatar. They do play by rules, but they're fae. They play by their. Rules.

[There's a pause before John answers again, too.]

Not good at all.

You really think so? Cause I'd really like my name back.

What kind of rules?
