@ nice toy (locked to the non au'd folks)

[fursuit]

so you've all noticed that about half of us are totally fucked in the head right

best I can tell they think they've always lived here? in this world I mean. kinda hard to ask too much more than that without looking like you're the one that's insane but man

apparently they've also got backstories for all of us??? so how the fuck am I supposed to know that shit???

anyways. wanted to toss this out there for discussing and strategizing how to deal with this fuckin mess. I figure once we kill this kaiju they'll all go back to normal but

I dunno. be gentle with them. I know that's ironic coming from me but whatever

lemme know if there's anyone I missed to add to this filter.

(( ooc ; this is a discussion post about the people with au'd memories for those who do not have those memories! ending up on this filter is an icly handwaved process, so feel free to jump in if this applies to your character. threadjacking is very much open and welcome!

there's also a sister post for the au'd characters here, so if you're looking for that, go for it! ))

I'm afraid there is quite the extensive precedent of kaiju manipulating memories and personalities.

[gavehead]

Ok.
I believe that, sure, but you also have to be open to the idea that maybe it isn't that, because what is the next plan if we kill the kaiju and that isn't the case?

@pochita

[nutkick]

don't say that ...

[ please let them all stay delulu that this problem can be an easy fix. ]

[gavehead]

Can't help myself, bro.
It's dismal logic.

[nutkick]

i mean-
at least they're happy?

it was far worse before.

[gavehead]

You could say that. Hell, it's not like I haven't considered taking my own damn brain and putting it through the laundromat myself. There's a lot of fucked up stuff that I could wipe clean and maybe even be happy.

But the problem is, I know that would be a farce. That's not me. Don't you think they would want to remember who they really are because it's the truth?

[nutkick]

i don't know ...
getting rid of all the gross memories does sound a lot better. even if it's at the cost of adopting a new personality.

[ why are you booing him? he speaks the truth! ]

my friend, aki, looks good right now.
he's happy ...
i'm thinking ... maybe it should stay this way.

[gavehead]

That's selfish.
You want him to keep living a lie because it makes you feel better to see him happy.

[nutkick]

yeah, i'm selfish.
and if it makes him happy, it's fine.

[the_fourteenth]

Of course there's always that chance. But if that's the case, then we'll cross that bridge when we get to get.

From my experience, anything unexplained or supernatural in nature comes from rift effects or kaiju influence.

[gavehead]

_{[ Raidou is so logical and smart. 💞 ]}

Would not hurt to start other theories and plans just in case.

[the_fourteenth]

Not at all, I agree. But I wouldn't even be sure where to even start.

Unless we can blame something mundane. Something in the air or water. Something wrong with the teleportation process.

[gavehead]

Process of elimination.

Anyone try to take these guys out of the castle or far away to see if distance from here has any effect? Because that could determine if this is some kind of ranged spell or something else.

[the_fourteenth]

That's a good idea. It's not exactly safe beyond the castle walls from what we're told, but perhaps Kaga-san could help. Her with her aircrafts could potentially fly some people around not only to scout, but to see if it has an effect.

@gisei

[harboredfeelings]

I'm willing to attempt it. There's a ruined city some way out, what's left of London I think, I could fly some of them out that way and see what happens.

"And we can just crash the things if anyone acts up. "

No.

[gavehead]

And if they don't compl nicely, we take them by force.

_{[ DIRK STRIDER. ]}

[harboredfeelings]

That seems ill advised. And unnecessary. Just tell them we need people for a scouting mission on the ground I'm sure we'llget volunteers.

"And then the violence."

I said no.

[gavehead]

So if they say no, we just let them be, and then make no progress.

Got it.

[harboredfeelings]

Look, I have no issue bending the truth to accomplish this. But I refuse to make anyone do it against their will.
Besides you'll just give them even more reason to be on edge if we use force.

Putting all the rest aside you'll just make more enemies for yourself once this is all over. Don't make this worse than it already is.

"Awww, don't be like that. Think of how much fun the bloodshed would be."

I'm ignoring you.

@CURSE

[gimu]

be nice.

[gavehead]

They can be nice by going along with our idea. Otherwise, we may not make any progress.

[gimu]

just be smart about it is all i want
i do not wish for them to be injured if they don't have to be

[the_fourteenth]

No?

[gavehead]

Yes.

[the_fourteenth]

I sincerely doubt that will be necessary.

Strange memories or not, they are still our teammates and allies.
