WEEK SEVEN: MINGLE

[saturations]

MINGLE

Another bittersweet weekend is behind you now. You were successfully in reversing an execution, and yet...well. This place truly does love violence against children, doesn't it? No time to stop and dwell though. As always, you must keep moving ever onward...

Everything in the Prism is quiet today. There's no new node opening itself to you. The archways you've encountered seem to be what's left. Even the central node is eerily silent, as though waiting for your next move.

You get the sense that explorations may be a bit more stifling now. Be careful where you stick your noses, just in case you don't like what you find. That's not meant to be discouraging, of course. Surely by now you've realized how far your free will can take you. But even before you leave the apartments, perhaps you'd like to pay a visit to the gumball machine in the lobby.

Your colors have changed several times upon entering this place. This past weekend is no exception. Some of you may have changed, and some of you may have stagnated. Worry not. It isn't as though it matters...does it? Your color isn't the only thing that makes you who you are, after all. There's...people, places, things, ideas. Memories that you've coveted throughout the years, things you've held near and dear, things that have guided you on this journey especially lately.

But now it seems that you're having a bit of trouble holding onto these things. Every now and then, you'll find that as you try to recall pieces of yourselves, those memories have simply faded away. What does your best friend look like? What's your favorite song? Better question...what's your name? You may find it easier to recall facts about other people, strangely enough. But as the week progresses your own memories tumble right between your fingertips, lost into the ether.

Hold on while you can.

As always, you may contact the residents at any time. They may even have a message for you.

Welcome to your week seven mingle for chroma!

Things of note:
► This week's effect is memloss. You knew this was coming. You've put so much of yourself and your feelings into the Prism...surely it makes sense to lose what you've given.
► The severity of memloss can be up to you. You can gradually start to lose your memories, or you can forget large parts of yourself as you see fit. You can even lose your name and come up with a cool codename like...Bass, Riff, Shale or Steel. Wow.
► While you are losing your own memories, memories you have of others and information they've shared with you seem to be still available to you. You will be able to recall names, faces, and their memories they've shared with you, but your own memories are harder to tap into and you'll have trouble recalling events and experiences you've been involved in.
► Although exploring locations as you have in past weeks may not yield results, you still may try to change things about the prism.
► More to come... keep your eyes and ears open.

I'll help you with the doors, if you need.

I dunno about ordinary but creepy objects. Like... teeth?

[ominous to have teeth just out.]

[georeject]

M-Maybe...

[9mon]

I dunno what he meant by this... Do you know?

[georeject]

Kazunari came up with a good idea of making them oni-themed—so, to give the idea of "monsters" but also keeping in with the Japanese style.

[9mon]

... That does make a lot more sense.

[Than like... putting out a singular set of dentures. Ordinary. Odd. Creepy.]

Oni masks are popular around Setsubun. We can make him a buncha them.

[georeject]

[WE JUST PUT A RANDOM SET OF DENTURES

they nod.]

And maybe come up with ordinary, everyday objects that match that appearance. I think Garou probably enjoys the dichotomy between things you actually use and scaring people with them.

[9mon]

He also wants it to be oddly empty. Hmm... how do we do both?

[georeject]

Decor can go on the walls, and not too much of it... And then I suppose we think about any objects that Garou would likely use, even if he would otherwise prefer to have nothing around.

We could also just make the place abnormally big to give the illusion of emptiness.

[9mon]

He said he wanted video games so... oni-like covers for the controllers?

[georeject]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with those sorts of things... Also, what other kinds of Japanese monsters are there? We probably don't have to be restricted just with oni, though that's one of the only ones I know of.

[9mon]

Um... [Mem... loss...] There's tengu. They're like these huge supernatural crows with humanoid forms.

[georeject]

Oh! I know about tengu. Jiuqing was one, I believe.

[9mon]

They're cool. I think... Misumi played one before?

[georeject]

[they nod...]

So let's just keep in mind as we create any necessary objects for this place. "Cool" and "creepy", I suppose...

He also wanted exercise equipment, so perhaps we can make those monstrous somehow?

[9mon]

Umm... make them themed around youkai? Maybe not kappa.

[The ship pushing kappa...]

[georeject]

... Probably not kappa. You're right.

[9mon]

Ehehe...

Kitsune? They're more tricksters than really scary most of the time though.

[georeject]

Hm... Garou might be the opposite of kitsune-like.

[daggering]

[ sneezes

no

anyway vax will make a cool looking box with a badass looking crow on it to put the video game stuff in at this description ]

Steel told me a little bit about something like those.

[9mon]

Are you a tengu?

[daggering]

She thought I was.

[ he misses... his wings..... ] It's a raven, not a crow. Big difference.

[ as he's continuing to create cool badass tengu monster things. a big poster with one, too! ]

[9mon]

[Ravens are bigger birds, that's true.]

Right, but they're still cousins, I think? So you're kinda like a tengu's cousin?

[daggering]

[ looks thoughtful ]

Better tell Birdie we're related.

[ haha ]

[9mon]

You should tell people when you're related to them.

[hehe]

[daggering]

[ winks ]

You'd know, huh? [ says the kid adopting brothers

he makes a stupid little ribbon that says: IM A BIG BROTHER and pins it to garou's wall



and then a second one that says BALL TAG RUNNER UP

brutal ]
