how we doin, Taisho

[rollplayinghouse]

Who: Taisho (and anyone who wants to check on them)
Where: Taisho dorms
When: Day 66, late morning

[Maki ultimately spent the night at Future is Now, but in the morning she finally takes everyone's advice and returns to Taisho. She is fully grayscale at this point, and also looks... a bit darker, maybe? Like she's standing in a shadow, or someone moved the brightness slider down slightly.

She changes back into a Taisho outfit before coming back to the common area.]

So... does anyone have thoughts on doing better at unit unity.

Then it isn't likely that coming to an understanding between us will cure you, though it may at least slow its progression... A shame I was never any good with magic.

[rollplayinghouse]

[she can't blush in grayscale]

Slowing it and preventing the rest of you from getting it would be a start.

[sonof]

... I hadn't realized you thought of it as protecting us, at the time.

[ kind of muttered ]

[rollplayinghouse]

...In the monster game? Of course I did.

[sonof]

[ wryly, kind of soft-voiced, leaving his knuckles resting at her cheek ]

Haruto was the heart, after all. As was Ace. I could read Bad End's message in the flowers and pin down your boyfriend's guilt from an offhand comment, and yet time and again I can't tell the first thing about the people most important to me here.

... I suppose it isn't the time to talk about this, while your memory is going. Excuse me.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I still remember that game, for now. If... not really those other things.

Everyone was falling apart from the very start. That's why I took over. I wanted to get us through as smoothly as possible.

[sonof]

We won't be targeting Intensity again. But it sounds as though you already reasoned that out for yourself.

[rollplayinghouse]

Yes, I talked through some things with him.

[sonof]

So I gathered. Hah.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Does Sol really think I did anything I did in that game because I wanted to? It's not like Intensity would have been my first pick to start with.

[sonof]

He isn't as loud as some of the rest of us, or as stubborn. I can understand his view of it.

Though really, I'm also a bit stunned. That was a somewhat cutthroat outburst.

[rollplayinghouse]

I only even considered Intensity because I listened to everyone else's opinions on literally every other unit but avante.

[the more she thinks about this this more upset she is about it, apparently]

[sonof]

... We'll have to reconsider that sort of thing from now on, hm... He hasn't mentioned it, but I think he may be close to someone on peppep. We're just about out of luck on all fronts.

[rollplayinghouse]

[grimace]

...I can't think about that right now.

[sonof]

... That's fine.

Fox suggested a tea ceremony. We can't resolve everything all at once, besides, so perhaps it's better to stick to small steps, for now.

[rollplayinghouse]

...

That seems like the best we can do.

[sonof]

I'll ask around... about getting your memories back. If it's like a curse, there ought to be a way to break it.
