You were probably looking for the old meaning of .init, but it's gone 
now, so I present these alternative fixes:

1) You need to load the state of the game from before overriding xs. I 
recommend Quick Save and Quick Load. Often bound to F5 and F9.

2) Perhaps a custom-fit Delorian will do.

3) If all else fails, I'm afraid you'll have to resort to copying the 
contents of xs prior to overwriting them.
