@ 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! ))

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?

[ 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?!

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?

That's what I'm thinking. Some kind of territorial dispute maybe? Or a grudge? Those tapestries people have been talking about have to mean something!

[ adding notes, all bugeyed..... ]

You're right... you're right. There's something there.

And then there are some things we can rule out, too. I know they're acting like they come from this world, but that still doesn't mean they've actually been overwritten by this world's version of them, right?

We would have found our counterparts by now if that were the case for one. And for two, we would have found some weird technology related to that sort of thing by now the way we've all been looking through the castle.

[newphew]

Right! It's just.... weird memory issues!!

Isn't it?

It has to be.

[Because that's easy to fix. It has to be easy to fix. They can work with something that's easy to fix.]

Just like the Kabus and the way it made us share our memories. All those weird effects will die down eventually and everything will be right as rain.

[newphew]

Right, right, right, of course. Of course.

[ stop repeating yourself, hunter ]

Everything will go back to normal. We just have to kill the kaiju. Right. Of course.

It's just like we said in the library. Gotta keep our eyes on the prize.

[newphew]

Right. We can do this!
