You bet. Here, have a handful! What
brings you out on a night like tonight? You look as if
you could use a drink ... I think I know just what you
want, too.
Betty, bring Natika a Long Island Iced
Tea, please.

Yes, Natika, that's really my job. I'm
in charge of doing silly things to entertain people who
are bored or unhappy. It usually works, or so I'm told.
Care for a game of darts while we get to know one
another?

Gotta be beginners luck, I can't tell
you anything about myself, I seem to have forgotten
where I came from. The things here seem so familiar to
me, like I've been here before. I hope that maybe
someone will be able to help me.

Elkae recognizes Natika, of course,
but she wants to go slowly and gently.
Well,
you know? You probably have been here before. All of us
cavern children have memories of the place that reach
way back into our childhoods. You've probably stood
right here before. I bet we've even met
before.
Tell me what you DO remember,
Natika?

*jahuti settles down to watch the darts
game. He knows that poor Elkae is being hustled and he
hopes she hasn't made too many side bets. He wonders how
he ever missed the bubblegum-Guinness combination.
Perhaps with a little something else tossed in... No.
he remembers he gave up drugs in
1969.*

I
remember friends, I had alot of friends. I can't
remember their names, I remember something about a bear,
I think. Maybe more will come after some sleep. I don't
even know where I live but I have this book on my
belt. I'm sorry, did I say something
wrong?

Elkae and Jahuti explain to Natika
that the book on her belt is her Relto book ... her way
home. By the expression on her face, it's obvious a
memory is beginning to surface.
Would you
like to go home by yourself or would you like some
company? I'm sure you'll find some very interesting
things at your Relto that will help to restore your
memory.
Elkae gives Natika a one-armed
hug.
C'mon. Let's go together. You wouldn't
mind would you, Jahuti?
