"Are you capable of completely removing memories from the human mind?"
"I'm capable of completely removing the human mind, if that's really what you're after. Hello, Elder Mist."
"Hello. Do you have anything that wouldn't leave the subject diminished apart from the removal of a five-minute chunk of time?"
"I am told that copious amounts of alcohol, if consumed in advance, will have the effect of removing short periods of time from recollection, if no triggers come up."
"Won't work. Anything that induces retrograde amnesia?"
"Short of obliterating every memory from the last ten years? No. What exactly is prompting this? It's not like you to be so unreasonable, and I say that from a purely objective point of view."
"Is this really so important?"
"If you are about to go on a homicidal rampage, then yes, it is extremely important. By the by, killing all involved with a traumatic incident one wishes to forget is often said to alleviate the trauma somewhat, though of course that would be deeply immoral." The Nye coughs.
"Really? Why, that is excellent!"
"So who are you going to slaughter?"
"Bespoke and Ravel."
"Can I have them when you're done?" It smiles hopefully.
"No."
A/N: I actually feel quite sorry for the poor thing. It probably hasn't gotten many corpses at the Sanctuary so far...
