Who: ??? Robert "Bobby" Lyon (James Potter) [pottershotter] and OPEN
Where: Storybrooke General Hospital (10/24-10/25), The Lyon Household (10/26-10/27), and then assorted other locations for the rest of the event (10/27-10/28).
When: 10/24-10/28 - Catch all for the Storybrooke Event!
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Bobby Lyon, senior at Storybrooke High and son of Coach Lyon (Beiste), has been missing for the better part of a week. Pre-event he was found unconscious in the woods by Narukami Yu (Souji) and brought to the hospital. When he wakes on the first morning of the event, he won't remember anything at all - not even his own name.
The Story:
1. 10/24 - Hospital
He feels heavy when he first wakes, and when he blinks his eyes open the world is a blur. With a groan, he shoves himself up onto his palms and tries to look around, but the blurriness isn't just from fatigue. He spies a table near the bed and the vague outline of glasses sitting on it. It takes a bit of reaching but eventually his fingers brush against them, and he's able to grab them.
He turns them over in his hands, and lifts them close to his face so he can examine them. It seems odd that there would be a random pair of glasses by his bed. He doesn't recall ever needing glasses, but he supposes they're worth a try. Sure enough, when he slips them on his vision clears completely.
He's in the hospital.
...Why is he in the hospital? There has to be a reason he's there. People don't just wake up in hospitals, so something must have happened to him, but when he tries to think about it it's like looking into a dark void. If he stares too long, he feels a bit like he might fall in.
Unsatisfied with the lack of answer, he tries to look through the door from where he's sitting. By sheer luck, he's alone at the moment, but he doesn't recognize anyone passing the door, and in the minute or so he peeks, no one looks in on him. The longer he's sitting in bed, the more he realizes how ungodly uncomfortable it is. He looks around again and sees there's a tiny needle in his arm, hooked up to an IV. He figures he probably shouldn't yank the needle out since he's not sure what happened or if he needs it - but he feels like he's probably okay. He leans over the side of the bed and finds that ah - the IV stand has wheels.
Feeling confident in this plan, he pulls the IV over to the correct side of the bed and swings his legs over the side. He grips the IV stand tight, half-wondering if there's going to be something wrong with his legs, but then decides to give it a try anyway.
He was not prepared for a bed alarm.
When it goes off he curses pretty loudly and frantically looks for something that might shut the thing off, but he can't find the switch or the button or whatever it is, and he can hear footsteps coming a bit more quickly now. So, deciding to call this a loss he scrambles back into the bed, hoping it will silence the alarm, and offers a sheepish smile at whoever comes into the room.
"Err. ...Hullo."
2. 10/25 - Hospital
He learns his name is Robert Lyon, and it doesn't sound familiar.
He also learns that his mother and his friends all call him Bobby, which feels even stranger. He can't recall his birthday, and when he woke up he had no idea what day it was or what he'd been doing before he was in the hospital. He's been missing for days and absolutely nothing rings a bell.
People worried about him, apparently, and he feels sort of bad. He's met the woman who's supposed to be his mother, and he feels even worse about that. When he looks at her, he doesn't see someone he recognizes and when she looks at him she sees someone she's raised and loved for years and years. Seventeen years, he's told, though somehow that surprises him. He thought he might be older.
The hospital staff keep quizzing him, but he comes up with no new answers. He's able to tell them who they are, and what he's experienced since waking up. There's a red-headed volunteer that he's particularly talkative about, but nothing from his past remains. He only knows his name because it's what he's been told. He's given activities to do, little things to assess his ability to make new memories and what sort of information he still remembers. He learns he's not physically hurt at all (no concussions or brain damage of any kind), and he's been taken off the IV since he's capable of feeding himself. They do not, however, take the alarm off his bed, as two more escape attempts reveal.
Mostly though, he's discovered that being in a hospital is dreadfully boring.
3. 10/26 - Discharged from Hospital; The Lyon household.
Since he's not actually hurt and has proven to be able to make and hold onto new memories, he is discharged into his mother's care to recover (though he's still excused from school for the time being). They don't receive a straight answer when they ask how soon to expect a recovery, but the hospital staff assures them that it might help to be around objects from his past, and in the house he grew up in. Look at photographs, they suggest.
It doesn't help.
They get into a car he doesn't recognize and drive through a town he's never seen before (though he watches everything as they drive, trying to absorb every detail about this town that he's apparently grown up in. They pull up in front of an equally unfamiliar house, and when they enter it's full of things he's never seen before - or thinks he's never seen before.
The photographs are the most baffling. There are pictures of them together, in moments he should remember but nothing comes to mind. He stares at them for a long time, as if he expects them to start moving.
He has a room and it's green, which doesn't feel right. There are trophies scattered along shelves with books - all of them are from various sports from over the years. Nothing seems like anything he actually owns though, so somehow he feels like he's staying in the guestroom of someone else's home, while their real son is away.
He doesn't want to ask his mother where various rooms in the house are, so he explores himself. She's reluctant to let him far out of her sight though, and he's pretty sure he can feel her heart breaking when she realizes what he's doing. He wishes he knew how to help, but without his memories all he can really do is make sure he remains within earshot.
4. 10/27 - The Lyon Household; assorted places in Storybrooke.
He dreams about running in the woods on four legs, and it's the first dream he's been able to remember since he woke up a few days ago.
As much as he wants to be kind to his apparent mother and not give her a heart attack, he's feeling incredibly restless. He wants to go out and explore this town he's heard he's lived in all his life, so he begs and pleads and whines to go out and explore the town, on the grounds that maybe he might remember something out there.
He's granted two hours, and he planned to make the most of it, but it winds up being very odd. Strange things keep happening to him. Objects float around him. When he grows cold, his gloves warm up like there's a furnace inside them, and burn so hot he has to take them off. At one point a window shatters near him, and when he runs so no one will assume it was him (though what proof would they have?) he goes from running down the street to being on the roof of a nearby building very suddenly, and he has no idea how that happened at all. He comes home a little shaken, and later decides it might be good to call it an early night. Once he lays down though, he can't sleep.
When the curse breaks, it's very sudden. The wave washes over everyone in town and it crashes into him abruptly. He bolts upright and wide-eyed in bed and his hand goes straight to his mouth, like he might be sick. He trembles. Everything he lost rushed back to him and once, and he can feel tears streaming down his face.
He's James.
He's James Potter and this event took so much from him this time. This event took everything he's fought so hard for in Wonderland. Everything.
5. 10/28 - A note on the fridge
When Coach Beiste (or Lyon, or whichever her memories are telling her she is) wakes up in the morning, she will find an empty house and the following note on the fridge, in shaky handwriting:
Coach,
I remember who I am, but I'm not who you think (I think?)
I'm sorry I'll be gone when you get this but I have to go
I must find Lily
It's really important - I remember everything now
I promise, I'll be back later
You made a fantastic Mum, Coach
If I could've picked anyone in Wonderland, I'd have picked you.
Sincerely,
James Potter
[ooc: If any of these don't work for you, feel free to make up your own as long as it's somewhere he'd actually be! On the last day he'll be running around town looking for Lily and Sirius and anyone else he knows at all, and he'll be leaning on his Wonderland memories (since he never really had full Storybrooke ones). Anyone's welcome to visit him either in the hospital or at his house, or run into him in town on the last two days. Either prose or [action brackets] are fine - I'll match!]

10/24
At least they found him.
She'd tried to call his father, but as usual all her calls went to voice mail. She'd hoped he'd at least show some concern about his son, if not her. But she isn't sure why she expected all that much from the man who beat her and left.
Dot's only left the room to use the bathroom since she's arrived, and she's on her way back when an alarm begins to shriek. She breaks into a run, rounding the corner into his room with a word like coding flashing in bright red across her brain. But what she sees isn't a practiced team of medical professionals struggling to restart her son's heart. What she sees is Bobby, standing of his own free will, and suddenly the alarm's purpose becomes clear. Briefly, she finds comfort in the fact that the possibility that he'd run away from home and might try to again had never even crossed her mind.
She gives him a weary but relieved smile. "Bobby. Good to see you're up. How're you feeling?"

Visiting with patients was something she had come to enjoy; of all the tasks assigned to volunteers, that was the one she looked forward to the most, though she had never imagined that one of those patients might be a former classmate of hers. It left a dull ache in her heart, passing by Bobby's room day after day and knowing that he had no idea what was going on around him, where he was or how worried his friends and family were.
Today, instead of being asked to shadow the nurses and clean up after them like usual, she had been asked to go look in on him. 'Someone should stay with him,' her supervisor had said, 'We don't want him wandering.'
She's cautious in her movements, but she gently knocks at the frame of the open door to his room before she pokes her head in-- and there he is, awake, like they'd never lost him in the first place.
"Hello? I thought you might like some company."

But when he'd heard Bobby was awake, Conan knew he had to visit. Had to go see his friend. He knocks on the open door before entering his hospital room, cautious smile on his face. "Hey, man. You up?"

He'd wanted to stay until Bobby woke up, just to make sure he was okay, but after the crushing hug from Dot when she arrived at the hospital, he'd headed home.
That was yesterday. He's been worried, in a vague sort of way, since then, and he figures that today, he might be able to check on Bobby without Dot there, if he can time it right.
So when he looks into the room, it's Dot he looks for first, then Bobby. He confirms the coast is clear before stepping inside.
It isn't until he's too far in to slip back out unnoticed that he realizes he has nothing to say. He and Bobby aren't really friends. Sure, Yu worried about him, but he has no real investment in Bobby's recovery.
It's too late to think that, though. So he nods to Bobby.
"Hey. You're awake."

She's got enough on her hands already, given some of the strange cases that have come into the hospital today. Of course, the fact that Bobby isn't able to remember a single thing about his life is bizarre enough all on its own. It's almost like his case was the start of odd things cropping up, come to think of it.
Interesting as that might all be, though, Marissa doesn't have much patience for his attempts to leave his hospital bed. Right now they're still figuring out if he's had any significant brain damage, and while he appears perfectly capable of forming and keeping new memories, she wants to be sure.
So she stalks into his room, a bit frazzled (it's been a long, busy day), her hair out of place and her labcoat whipping behind her.
"You know, I think on top of everything, you might be deaf. I told you not to leave here until we gave you the go-ahead." It's a rude thing to say to a patient, but Bobby's been nothing but a thorn in her side since they found him yesterday. Everyone has their limits.

The alarm had gotten her attention as Lauren had been walking through the ward, her head poking around the door as the boy spoke. She didn't remember seeing him when she'd walked through before.
"Shouldn't do that."
The noise was as loud and unsettling as it had made her curious. Someone should turn the alarm off.

She doesn't know what to expect, but she'd been told that he was having memory issues. That he couldn't really get his old life back. She had no idea what that was supposed to mean, but it didn't bother her, a little out of breath when she finally makes it to his house and knocks on his door. "Bobby? It's Kathryn!"
