WEEK TWO

23 Villagers

Three people have fallen and a tower has risen. Along with it, some of the restraints on your mind have dispersed and a memory has returned to you - is it precious, is it painful? Is it cherished, is it loathed?

Mercilessly, dawn breaks on another morning. The rooster still calls, and the crops still need tending to. Rise and shine, Puffin Town! It seems like the residents are not the only thing that has chosen to rise, as a few more establishments have opened up for exploration. The sound of moo-ing near the farms may feel especially inviting here - how about making some new additions to your farms, to drown out your loneliness?

There is no festival just yet but if you question the ducks on it, some excited quacking will herald fun things to come later in the week. Some of the ducks will also wave the gift notes from last week; regardless of murder, being kind to your neighbors is still encouraged! Can't let our beautiful town sink into gloom and doom, right?

(( OOC: Murder proposals are due by Tuesday at 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST, for the current week's murder, but feel free to submit for later weeks if you like!

We have also added a page to report your Astera planting - this does not need to have been threaded, we're just taking stock on an OOC level.

Further, the Gift Mechanic has been updated. All turned in threads will now yield a character specific item as a reward! We're only dipping into the random gacha once all personalized rewards have been given out.))

[ She doesn't seem exceptionally keen on talking about what she remembered, but she'll speak anyway. ]

I remembered people that I shouldn't have forgotten.

[ ... ]

My family. And they aren't related to me by blood.

[revengier]

Multiple people? How many memories of yours did that impact?

[ Because wow. ]

[hyperbloom]

A lot, actually.

[ And actually I fucked up explaining this so: ] Let me rephrase that. I knew who they were this whole time, but it's my relationship with them that I didn't remember until now.

They were strangers to me until this point. All of the events with us as a group were gone...and I only vaguely remember a specific incident that occurred when I was with one of them – the Boss himself.

[revengier]

I see... remembering important bonds like that must have been a shock to you. For strangers to suddenly become your family again...

[ He can't imagine. ]

[hyperbloom]

Yeah, that sums it up.

[ It sure was a huge shock. ]

It feels wrong. I'd never forget people like them, not willingly. They've done more for me than they realize.

[revengier]

[ He shakes his head. ]

No, you wouldn't. Even I can see you're not that kind of person.

[hyperbloom]

You're right. I wouldn't throw away people who mean that much to me.

[moonblades]

So not your [her mouth fits the words a little awkwardly] parents or siblings, but other people who were the most close to you?

[She pauses.] And you forgot every memory you'd ever had of them, all at once?

[hyperbloom]

Memories that we shared together were forgotten, yeah. I didn't remember being part of the group at all, even if I had a vague idea of who they were as individuals.

[ ... ]

I remember being in a sticky situation with Boss, though. I just didn't realize that we were that close.

[moonblades]

I see, so it's more the nature of your relationship that you'd forgotten. You wouldn't give them a second thought if you didn't think you were close to them, I guess, so that was "sufficient"... however you'd like to apply that word.

[She can't be sure about Shinobu's colleagues, but the way she talks about them makes it clear that they would have been otherwise inseparable.]

That sticky situation...you got out of it already?

[hyperbloom]

Yeah. Boss is pretty eccentric, but I would've just known him as being a nuisance rather than who he really is.

[ Itto is trouble, yeah, but he's kind. Caring. Loyal and sweet at his core. ]

I did, just before I came here. ... It's a long story. I can tell it to you later, if you'd like.
