Castle Game: BAD END=DEAD END

[idolpro]

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?

Why?

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Someone on this team messed with Aries memories. I don't know who, and it happened during the trial, and whoever it was doesn't even remember it. But Wild City aren't happy with us and I'm not in a hurry to make ot worse.

--Wait, what?!

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Aries had his memories tampered with.

[ He looks at her for a moment. He went over the list of options with Joker and he's thinking it over in his head. ]

[HE ASKED]

Re: DISCUSSION

[Well, shit.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

[It didn't seem the type of thing to be vague about ok.]

I should have brought this up before we had to deal with this type of game again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Well, that's just swell.

[ Grudgewank. SEE, this is why he hasn't bothered taking any powers yet. great power great responsibility yadda yadda yadda ]

If we're already on their shit list, isn't it likely they're going to come after us anyway, though? Or blame us for whatever misfortunes befall them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

Wild City also has a teammate of mine from home and she's still pretty new, so I'd really rather not make the situation worse.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

I don't know. Talon was mad but I don't think he's that unreasonable.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

Fucking fantastic.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

--what?

I've been working on Haruto for fucking ever to get on Wild City's good side, and someone fucked with Aries?

[WAY TO SABOTAGE MY EFFORTS! WHO THE FUCK?!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

Me, you, Phoenix, Nine, or Vive-san. Or Silk-san, but if she knows then I doubt they think it was her.

[ He's thinking out loud. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

[tosses hands up]

It's not like I'd remember anyway since my memories of the Trial's all jacked up and gone!

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya shakes his head slightly. ]

I sincerely doubt it was you. The most active people during that time were me and Phoenix.

.....Which means it was probably me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

It wasn't you. Nine knows who it was, he's the one that erased the memory of whoever did it. You wouldn't have asked Nine to mess with your head.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

I don't have that ability. I've never wanted it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

I don't have that ability either. But I did during the Trial.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ wait is your biggest concern here that your efforts to get into one person's good graces are ruined here?

he didn't think he'd respect joker less than before, but here we are. ]

Seems to me like the bigger concern is that we have two peoples' brains who're scrambled. Is that even something that can be undone?

[searingedgelord]

Anyone with that ability can fix it.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Are they interested in having it undone, or are they out for blood?

[justfuckingtryit]

Even if we don't know what's gone?

How does that one even work? Do you just — fish around in there?

[criminaljustice]

[oh fuck off, there's a reason this matters a lot--ITS BECAUSE. HARUTO. IS A FRIEND. AND IS CLOSE TO ARIES!!!]

Yes, it can be.

So the real main issue is why the fuck are we finding out about this two months later which is two months longer for Wild City to build up resentment against us--especially since Aries and Haruto have been around longest and Aries is their unit leader.

[just. tosses hands up.]
