@ 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! ))

it passes muster with the effected ones better than some ghost

[ with yuta, really. the rest, he doesn't mind if they think he's off but... yuta is his responsibility. and yuta's happier, like this. the shadow of suffering doesn't cling to him so. ]

its good that we're not wholly in the dark about what they think is going on

[gimu]

does it need to pass?
do you need to be different for this charlatanry?

[misclassed]

its a tool, same as any other

why not use it? not like its doing any harm

[gimu]

i don’t like it
it’s like someone else is wearing your bones
i can’t make you stop but i still want to try anyway

choso, [ that little pause in his message, just enough time for one of those little huffs that aren't a laugh but still betray the fact that he's amused; touched by the affection that choso's words point to, even if he won't change his course. ] i've been nothing more than a copy of someone else this whole time, remember?

[gimu]

muramasa is still muramasa
the muramasa of neo-tokyo and kyoto is still someone worth keeping around and remembering
i don't care if you're a copy of someone else
i know YOU

[ a long pause. ]

okay, i get it.

[ so he'll stop?

no. he won't. he's seeing this through to the end. ]

once yuta's himself again, i'll apologize properly for playing this other part. i know onigiri alone won't cut it, so what would you like? sky's the limit

[gimu]

i don't really want anything

but

you could teach me how to work with tama-hagane
i have only watched
but i don't mind doing the work if it's with you

[misclassed]

oh, you know i'll teach that for free but okay

deal!

[gimu]

the reward is more time with you.
get it right.

[misclassed]

right, right, sorry

yanno, between you and the boys we'll have enough to run a tatara. better than wasting my forge time on blooming scrap, as long as you're not sick of me after three days of shoveling charcoal.

[gimu]

there is nothing else i would rather be doing than helping you and yuji and the others i guess

[misclassed]

hahaha

good! because i'm gonna work you like a dog until you drop
