( ooc: assume that this has been passed around among the AU'd characters or something. )

I'm sure we all heard Gwen's news. It seems that the kaiju has mental effects that the ability to influence memories and emotions. I believe that is the reason for the strange behavior that some of our coworkers have been exhibiting since our arrival.

Since that appears to be the case, what should our plan be? I would like to open this forum to hear suggestions. Personally, I don't believe casting them out will be beneficial to us in either the short or long run.

Ostracizing them would do no good, I think. That may serve to make it worse, or force them to dig in.

[ yeah
silco's the one saying this
he's so helpful! 😊 ]

Thus far they haven't shown resistance to the Kaiju, so perhaps we should focus on eliminating the source of the problem. Once that is done, they should remember who they are without issue. They may be upset, a bit, but...

It is better than driving them away in the short term, especially since we may need their assistance to take out the Kaiju.

Do we have a list of people who have been affected?

Unrelated, but is everyone free in December?

[ the shift between the concept that is "muramasa" and the person that is "tasuke" is both easy and disorienting, but manageable. muramasa's been doing it for days now, sifting through the fake memories and the true shape of perfect steel, submerging himself in the former until he is ready to be the latter again. the quenching lasts longer each time, but progress is being made. he doesn't have to pay attention to how easy it is to let the other person be the dominant part of his self instead of the blade, making the decision to change how he thinks is as easy as swinging a hammer.

raised (familiar) voices echoing down the hall drag his attention away from his hunt for unicorn tapestries; the building is old and strange enough that noise travels strangely. they're below him in some gallery below, talking in harried tones when tasuke finally peeks his head through the doorway to see what the fuss is about. just in time to see a muzzle flash and to hear the gunshot from tezcatlipoca's weird, fucked up gun and to see daybit recoil as something hits him straight in the gut.

a servant like muramasa would rush the fuck in, but you know what some shitass 17 year old is going to do in a situation like this? dive for cover and hit post. ]
