Ollie dials Tyria's number.
"Museum of Anthropology and Antiquities," the switchboard receptionist answers.

There is a long pause, then the clicks of the call being re-routed. Finally, Ollie hears the line pick up again. There's a rhythmic clacking noise in the background.
"What can I do for you this evening, Mr. Wessler?" Tyria's voice asks.

"Uhhh, hi. Dr. Primoria."
Mr. Wessler, huh? Geez
He seems disarmed for a second by the use of his real name but he quickly comes to grips.
"Uhh, well. Zero, Ghoster, and I were doing our walk around the park when we found something strange. A man sitting in his underwear in the grass. He can't remember who he is, where he is, or where he came from. What's more, and the reason that I'm callin you and not the paramedics, is that he feels strange to me. His life force is like, hollow. Blank. I called Ankh and she told me to take him to the museum. I just wanted to call ahead to warn you."

"Maybe it's blank because he can't remember anything," Tyria said. She was very good at sounding patient.
"Regardless, why in the world would I want a random amnesiac brought to my Museum?" she asked.

Ollie begins sounding slightly indignant. His night was being interrupted too, and he was tired of high and mighty broads acting alll, well, high and mighty.
"Hey, I dunno. Ask Ankh. I called her for advice and that's what she told me. I can still dial 911 if that's how it is."
Fuckin pentacle mages...

"Mr. Wessler, unless you want to find yourself filled with the overwhelming urge to raise the Titanic by hand to discharge your debt to me, I suggest you mind your manners," Tyria's cool voice replied.
"Now, unless you have a good reason to bring this person to me, I would think that 911 would be your best option," she continued.

Ollie shuts his eyelids together tightly, pressing his hand against his face.
Fucking goddamned...
His voice is even this time. "Yeah, you're right. I'll be nice. I just got one question. If I'm using Life arcana would I be able to tell that he's got amnesia? That seems more of a Mind thing to me, I dunno..."
He braces for another tongue lashing.

"Some Arcana overlap," Tyria answered. "Also, don't forget that muscles have memories, as well as the nervous system."
She paused to see if Ollie had more to say. Theo could learn a lesson from this one.
