Manti wasn't sure he like this, having something wrong with his head was confusing enough, but being in a whole different world literally? Did this mean he was stuck here? Did it mean that he would never see his friends again, or at least the ones he remembered? By now they may even think him dead if he was missing for weeks. He huffed over the thoughts, not liking how this made him question himself. He had always been assured in himself, and this experience had thrown a spanner in the works. "Well, like I said this started a few weeks ago while I was driving around." he tried remembering exactly where it had been, which he hadn't been paying attention to. He hadn't even registered the change, the big changes, until much later when he had gone to the shop and home. "Crap, where was it?" he said allowed, the tone in his voice a testament to his frustration.

Despite amber having at first reminding him about Ambrosia, he could see this person had a much different personality. Still she seemed somewhat okay, a little reserved perhaps, maybe a bit lacking in the confidence area, though to be honest, a lot of people lacked confidence if you were comparing to Manti. However the story she gave made no sense at all. "Your pulling my leg, right," he said laughingly, "Try the other, it has bells on," he teased. Yeah, he could believe a whole bunch of things thanks to mutants. He could believe there were people who could move mountains with their minds, or jump from one end of the planet to another, but even he could only go so far in suspension of disbelief. But then he could see in her face a conviction he recognized. "Holy crap, your serious!?" he said, his tone shifting from teasing to something more unsure. Amnesia, even an unconventional case, was much more believable, his common sense and logic rebelled against there being another world, another dimension, let alone that he had somehow stumbled into it. But That couldn't be it, could it? Suddenly the supremely confident cat man was not so sure anymore.

Manti went through the list of faces he remembered. He knew many mutants who attended the bars, at least he had known. He knew lava mutants, cat mutants(of which he was included), and even insect mutants, but he didn't know Amber's face, nor could he recall any dinosaur mutants in his circle of friends. Like Derek he was drawing a blank despite hem knowing him. "I know a dragon girl, I almost thought you were her, but that's obviously not the case. But hey, dinosaur powers, cool!" he said, giving her a thumbs up. Anyone who knew Manti well knew of his easy going and generally upbeat personality, though that wasn't saying much at the moment since people seemed to think he was mopey, which made no sense whatsoever.

"When did it change? I mean, when did people stop knowing you?"

"Hmmm, I'd say a few weeks ago, give or take," he said, thinking back. He had had one of his time losses, where time seemed to change on him, and suddenly everything else had changed with it. "I mean I could understand if I hit my head or something, but I remember everyone I know and most everything about my life, or at least think I know, and I don't think amnesia works that way anyway."

Manti's trip down the rabbit hole had thus far yielded no answers, he seemed to have been here but there didn't seem to be any indication of why. It was a perplexing mystery, he had wondered before if he had some form of amnesia or something, though he was sure he wasn't missing any time. Well, maybe that wasn't true, a few times his watch had seemed to be off, could he have blacked out then? And why would he come here? And that still didn't explain why his shop was gone any everything else was so weird.

"Hello? I'm not sure if you remember me, but we met a few weeks ago. I'm Amber."

He heard the voice before he saw her, and smelt it before that. "Ambro..." he started turning to look, but he saw someone quite different then who he had been expecting. Huh, he was sure that had been Ambrosia's scent. Well, there were some off characteristics, just like everything else, his first instinct had pictured the mini-dragon elf woman, but the person before him now looked almost opposite to the happy go lucky person he had known. Covered up, black eyes, and a slight more bitter undertone in the scaly scent. "Oh, sorry, thought you were someone else." he said in a cheery voice, "Though I'm not completely sure to be honest, seems I've been a bit off as of late. I'm Manti," he said, offering a paw. She seemed to be keeping her distance, perhaps she was intimidated by him? "I don't bite, promise." he said giving her a grin, which showed off the shark-like teeth he had. Probably not the brightest idea, but hey, he would just roll with it.

Manti examined the guy over, he was sure they hadn't met, but in his mind there was little chance that there were two giant red lions running around New York, especially two with the name Leon. "You did say Leon, right? Leon Manning?" he said, puzzling over this, "I mean, most people call me Manti, but it's my name." he continued, taking a swig of his drink. "And I don't think it would be easy to get me mixed up with anyone else, not with this stunning profile." he said it with a good deal of pride. Manti had always considered his looks one of his best features. Still, this was fairly confusing with everything else that seemed to be going on. Could there be another person like him? It would be one hell of a coincidence. "So the last place you saw... me... was in the woods? Doesn't sound like me, I mean, sure I'll take a stroll in the park every once in a while, and don't get me wrong, a survival challenge sounds like a ton of fun, but can't say I've done any of that recently." He scratched his chin, running his claws through the mane fur on his chin as he thought. "Hmmm... though honestly everything has seemed off this week," he said aloud, voicing his thoughts. Everything out of place, his bike shop gone, his place gone, had something happened to him he didn't remember? It wasn't like him to doubt himself, but he couldn't honestly say he was sure at the moment, after all if someone he didn't know knew his name, and how he looked... "I don't suppose you have anything from... me... on you?" he asked. If this guy did know him, and had something, he could sniff it for his own scent. People could look alike or even sound alike sometimes, but one thin they couldn't fake was there scent... well unless their mutant powers let them do that, but that was a whole other kettle of fish. At the very least he would be able to tell if the guy was legit or not.

Manti was too occupied with his own fight to really second guess anything Ivy was doing. He wasn't too worried about these guys hurting him, though he watched for any glint of metal. Though though he was, a knife was a knife, and for all his impressive physique, he was not blade proof. However, t seemed if they guys had been armed, they were too drunk to really think to bring anything out, charging Manti in a was that seemed so... lacking in self awareness, Manti could have almost laughed at it. Instead he opted to catch the two by the front of their shirts and lift them simultaneously off the ground. "Maybe you two should take a nap," he said in a annoyed, but at the same time amused tone, before bashing the two together, knocking them out.

Then there was a sudden stab of pain in his back. Crap, had someone just stabbed him? He dropped the two, pulling away from the source of the pain and turning, just in time to see Ivy pulling some sort of weapon out of the guys hand. He reflexively felt where it stung, feeling a little blood, but little more then a shallow stab wound. At least he hadn't managed something vital, as far he knew he didn't need to worry about toxins, but he was sure he still needed his kidneys.
