@ 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! ))

the weird thing about this stuff is…. none of these memories are bad, right?

geto-san thinks i’m his son, which is weird but not bad.
it’s not like before where it was all horrible and sad and stuff

why is that?

@goddess of death

[queenofkur]

It could be the Kaiju is not inherently evil,
And wishes to provide them with what it believes is a good life.

It could also be a strategy to divide us.

[eyescar]

that might be true
you’re smart eresh-chan
geto-san has daughters that aren’t here, so giving him another kid would make him happy

if it wanted to divide us wouldn’t it give people bad memories? or make them angry with us??

[queenofkur]

It may be unable to.
Their minds have been changed from a distance,
And this has affected a great number of our comrades.
The cultists last year focused directly on each and every one of us.

Reshaping one's mind is difficult.
To make it into a believable reality even harder.

[eyescar]

do you think that’s why everyone remembers working for LILITH?
it would be hard to remove that part

[cranekin]

It is the one thing we all have in common.
It may be difficult to break it because it's what keeps us together.

[eyescar]

right... that does make sense
this is all so confusing

[cranekin]

Don't think too hard, Yuji-kun.

[queenofkur]

Maybe so.
It's truthfully difficult to ascertain until we know more.
The best we can do is explore and remain careful.

[eyescar]

have you noticed anything else weird eresh-chan?

[queenofkur]

Yes.
Our host, Gwen.

She is too trusting.
To let us roam around the castle with no surveillance...
Not even other wings of LILITH were that trusting.

And then there is everything about that situation.
I've been looking into the history of this place.
According to the records, her family took up leadership of Britain
And have since relentlessly fought against "evil."
Furthermore, she is the last surviving member of her family.

LILITH barely manages to handle the Kaijus even with our help.
But she and her generals have kept Britain safe for untold years all on their own?

This is a great setup for a novel.
But not for reality.

[cranekin]

It's a possibility.
If our enemy is merciful but misguided, do you think that should change our battle approach, Erechan?

[queenofkur]

Until we learn more, no.
The fact remains they're a threat to this world's humanity.
Most enemies perceive themselves as "good."
This doesn't mean we can relent.

[cranekin]

I agree.
As long as they're a threat to this world, we should neutralize it.
But still, it's a little sad, don't you think?

[queenofkur]

It is.
But it is for the best.
I have once been in this position,
Doing what I believe is right only to be opposed by those I wished to help...

I would still act upon the belief weak humans must meekly follow their gods if not for my defeat.

[fursuit]

I agree with ereshkigal that it's probably just something doing what it thinks is nice

but it's fucked

every time my favorites are nice to each other it makes my skin fuckin crawl

just erasing conflict outta people doesn't make them better. it's a simplistic understanding.

[eyescar]

so maybe it was to make them not want to fight
or to fight us???

but if they need our help why would they do that

[fursuit]

no clue

I’m the god of conflict not the god of whatever the fuck this is

at least last time around it made some sense. as much as that kinda shit can

don’t get why half of us aren’t affected

[eyescar]

i wonder if they targeted specific people
do they have anything in common

@CURSE

[gimu]

the memories may not be bad but none of it is right
i hate it
i hate it
i hate it

[eyescar]

choso
what's wrong

[gimu]

i hate it.
it's all wrong.
like someone else is in there

[eyescar]

in them?
i guess so... but they're so happy.

[gimu]

it isn’t real
it isn’t right

[eyescar]

is it?
or are we the fake ones?
