Who: Those who play games!
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 115, late morning (game is 11am - noon)

[ For those who answer the call that goes out on your phones -- today you step out of the elevators to find yourselves in an airy Grand Ballroom. At the front of the room is a buffet table featuring finger sandwiches, petit fours, and savory pastries complemented by fresh cups of steaming hot tea. From nowhere to be seen comes the sound of instruments playing.

If you happen by the small, square tables you'll find a place card with your name on it at one of them designating your seat. (You can try to move it, if you wish, but it won't budge). In the middle of the table are two fancy gold chests, one inlaid with red jewels and the other inlaid with blue jewels (neither can be opened) as well as what looks to be a game board. ]

Because I'd feel bad!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's barely a reason!

Silence is not a psychopath and neither are you!

[resonantblue]

Yes it is! And besides, how would you know that! You only know us based off one or two memories, too! Look at her and I: we share the same body, yet act completely different. To me, that sounds like a mad person.

[she laughs; it's hollow, but anxious]

Haha! There, I said it! It sounds like something's wrong with me! Silence ignores it, dismisses it, but I don't--I'm scared! I don't know what any of this means! I'm expecting the worst, because so far that's all I've seen of my past self!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

People who have two souls in the same body are a fucking dime a dozen where I'm from. You don't see people calling Yugi mad. Or Anubis. Or King. Or Nine---

[Wait. Wait on the last one. People actually do call him crazy]

And I told you this before, and I'll tell you it again. You're in the unique position to forge yourself as a new person. So if you don't like what you see, then fucking get rid of it!

[resonantblue]

[well, she can't argue his first point exactly... but she is starting to cry]

What if I don't want to see anymore? What if I have no choice?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Please don't cry. He's not Shine. He doesn't know what to do]

If you don't want to see anymore, then don't buy anymore memories.

Yes, the one is floating around - but there's nothing to be done about that unless you want someone to manipulate it into something else.

[resonantblue]

That doesn't even make sense... it doesn't make sense...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What doesn't make sense? Memories are cheap here. They can be altered or suppressed for a price.

[resonantblue]

How?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Bad End ability. Or BARiTONES but it has a time limit on how long it can be suppressed.

[resonantblue]

[giving this some thought, examining her palm as she does]

...so they can mess with that kind of thing...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes.

Though I don't know if it will also affect Silence's memory as well if you do that.
