@ 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 more annoyed that the other me had a better life ...

@vessel

[eyescar]

mine had geto-san as a dad and he’s so happy
so that’s annoying too

how did they even come up with this stuff??

[nutkick]

[ yuji is out there collecting dads like pokemon cards. ]

i guess it's what they think would make us happy?
i mean, i was happy for sure ...

[eyescar]

i wonder if i was happy in this other world
i really don't know

[nutkick]

hmm.
but, you're happy, right? in this world?

[eyescar]

working for lilith? yeah
i'd ask to stay if they let me choose

[nutkick]

okay.
maybe if we all unite and ask lilith to let us stay, they'd allow it.
we will protect this city for them. they won't reject our request.

If that's any comfort, there are probably countless other you who have a worse life.

[ ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ]

Nevermind.
This is not comforting.

[nutkick]

[ girl ... ]

you're probably right ...

let's have a mini prayer for them, shall we?
i hope the other denjis get the same lucky break i did by coming here.

[queenofkur]

I
I'm sure they do!

No matter how hopeless one's situation might be,
There is always hope!
Just look at us.

A
At all of us, I mean.

[nutkick]

yeah, look at us.
we're doing okay.

[ a pause. ]

hey. if you had a choice-
would you want to stay here with us, miss death?

[ oddly so, he's being respectful with calling her that. ]

[queenofkur]

Well
Assuming I had absolute confidence my duties are handled to the perfection in my homeworld...

Yes, possibly.

[nutkick]

great.
i'll add your name to the list.

yuji and i plan to speak to lilith about staying here forever.

[fursuit]

that seems to be the theme of this shit so far as I can tell

it's gonna be shitty once they wake up

[cranekin]

Well, as long as they're alive, they can't rest forever.

[fursuit]

sure

but still won't be easy yknow?

like if you got this pretty nice life like denji said, then how do you feel when you snap back and realize your life actually sucks?

they have no choice to carry on sure but still won't be happy

[cranekin]

And it'll never be easy.
To live is to suffer and to suffer eightfold.

( Don't ask him how he's dealing. )

Nothing is clear-cut. There are no black and white sides.
There will always be black in the white and white in the black.
Wanting our friends to be happy isn't wrong at all but neither is wanting to wake them from their dreams.
If we think too much about it, we'll just waste our time and cause our hearts grief.

I'm a sword.
If I protect one thing, I'll cut something else.
So if I have to protect our allies, I'll cut what I need to.
And if someone gets hurt... my bad.

( That's it. Just. "My bad." )

[nutkick]

i didn't even think about how they'll feel when it's over.

this sucks.
i wouldn't know how to comfort any of them ...

[fursuit]

yeah. it's after that I'm more worried about. they seem to be okay for now. better than okay, in some cases

but I'm also not the comforting type either

[nutkick]

... it's bad, isn't it?

[ their lack of emotional intellgence ........ ]

maybe we should work on that.

[fursuit]

haha

maybe but I’ll leave that to the rest of ya

that’s not my style. I’m a tough love kinda god

[followyourstar]

It will. But they'll make it through.

That's what we're here for, right?

[fursuit]

yeah basically

course I feel like I'm going to be a punching bag personally

[followyourstar]

For making them remember?

[fursuit]

well kinda but that's not the point

more that daybit and silco will just be pissed that it happened in the first place and that I didn't just fix it right away even though I can't

not saying it's rational

actually they might kill each other first but I won't let that happen either
