@ 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! ))

[ behind him is a serial killer board. he looks like he's slept even less than usual ]

Are we sure the kaiju's directly causing this? Can we trust Gwen and her people? I remember the same time last year the villagers were brainwashed by the kaiju too? Am I the only one who remembers that?

[ he just continues ranting and spiraling ]

It only happened when we got to the castle. It could either be kaiju effect or Gwennie-poo here. Take a deep breath. We need to actually be chill to put anything together.

[newphew]

I'm perfectly chill!

[ eyes bugging out ]

[makesascene]

If this is chill, I'd hate to see you freaking out. [Is said dryly back.] You need to stop, take a deep breath, focus on your breathing for at least a minute until its calmer.

[newphew]

[ grumble mumbles "i'm fine", before trying to breathe.... the air whistles through his teeth because of his gap tooth ]

Is it out in or in out?

[ he forgot how to breathe ]

un: forgery. text.

[misclassed]

she's not a bad person

[ source: dude trust him on this ]

[newphew]

[ he taps the "gwen" part of his serial killer board ]

How do you know?!

[misclassed]

[ he aint reading all that ]

cause i can tell she's not

[newphew]

[ valid ]

But how, Master? We can't trust her!

@gisei

[harboredfeelings]

I'm sure most of us have no idea what you're talking about.

[ That's sarcasm. ]

[newphew]

Most of us outside of this post don't!! Believe me, I tried!

[ hunter, ]

[harboredfeelings]

Maybe you're the one who's being effected then.

The board of madness certainly doesn't help your case.

[newphew]

It's a board of evidence!

If you're on this post, that means you're normal! Right?

[ well, normal for her ]

[followyourstar]

No, no, he's got a point.

There are a lot of weird things about this place! And how she's acting! And... you know, now that I think about it, there's nothing that says they can't be affected by the whole memory thing too, right?

[newphew]

[ thank god dante understands. dante is sane. perhaps the only other sane person here ]

Exactly! The villagers were all affected in Braslow! So who's the say something like this didn't happen again, only it has the power to affect most of us?!

[followyourstar]

I've only heard about all of that second-hand, but other people have been making that comparison too.

But this isn't the first time we've had a mission with two kaiju in play, either! And weren't the kaiju in Mexico up against one another? It could be another situation like that!

[newphew]

Trust me on this.

[ trust him, etc ]

And us caught in the middle of it?

[ hastily takes a pen and scribbles all over one of the papers in his serial killer board ]

@CURSE

[gimu]

[ the very thing he was trying not to think too hard about. ]

Not the only one.

[ oh but all his inflection is gone now. ]

Do not stray from the others. Keep gathering information. We will find out what is happening in time this time.

[newphew]

[ hunter's helping!!!! he's not ]

Right... of course we will! I'm well on my way already!

[ gestures to his insane serial killer board ]

[ (he is not) ]

[gimu]

[ absolutely insane. unfortunately, Choso thinks this is a Good Idea and a Great Step Toward Preventative Measures. ]

I will bring you what I can. For now, I can send you what data I have on local wildlife.

... Also, you look like shit. Take a shower.

[fursuit]

yeah I remember and it was way more fun

[ NOT THE POINT ]

and you okay man? you look like shit

[newphew]

What exactly was fun about it??

[ hunter did not have fun getting shot and panicking about kidnapped friends. not to mention wriothesley dying, rip ]

I'm fine! Just.... haven't slept. Much.

@mr. viper

[penaltypoints]

Naturally, remaining on our guard is advisable. So is adequate rest.

[ Though Hunter's concerns are understandable. ]

[newphew]

[ what's adequate rest? never heard of her ]

I've been resting PLENTY. I got one whole hour!

[ oh wow ]

[penaltypoints]

[ Hunter no... That is an interesting definition of plenty... But then, Hunter does look like he rarely manages to sleep well even without additional worries. ]

That may be sufficient for certain animals, but I doubt that it applies in your case. Sleep deprivation has harmful consequences, which we cannot ignore. In fact, the likelihood that your alertness will be impaired increases.
