[EVENT] Memory Tapes

[vrdr_mods]

On the morning of November 21st, denizens in the Velvet Room will awake to a message on their phones or by their bedsides in an envelope. Perhaps even on their computer screens.

Greetings! If you've received this message, then you've been selected as a participant in a new activity to strengthen bonds within this community.

In order to facilitate connections with your fellow residents, we advise you to watch this video. Watch it and return the tape to its rightful owner. If you lacked the means to watch VHS tapes before, we have provided you with the necessary equipment.

Failure to do so may put your own memories at risk. Do not be selfish, lest you find yourself struggling to recall crucial moments of your life. You have no way of knowing which memories have been shared, so ask yourself if it is worth the risk to selfishly hoard another's secrets.

They will soon find a VHS tape, with a case that gives off a soft, blue glow to symbolize its importance. If they lack a TV or VCR, they will find one in their living space.

What they do is up to them, but they should heed the warning, if they value their own memories.

We could always ask him.

Then again, I suspect he's fully aware of this conversation.

still locked to Raven

[minipancake]

Well, Crow-san? What do you think?

[Wait for it...]

[fogbornphantom]

[A message pops up... from Raven?]

Using the process of elimination, I think we can safely conclude that the new Ken is our culprit.

Which presents a problem, if he's so powerful, yet putting on a friendly guise. Now that he's been exposed, he may be less inclined to keep up appearances.

[minipancake]

I knew you could do it!

[D'awww. But, more seriously....]

It's not as if Igor-san wouldn't let us come to harm. We know he has in the past. But if he's so dangerous, why is he here?

[fogbornphantom]

I wonder...

Either Igor has some grand plan, or there's something else at play.

Just be careful, all right? And that goes for both of you. Raven is strong, but we don't know the full scope of this Ken's abilities.

[minipancake]

[Raven's strong, while Wagtail still has only his wits. He knows.]

I'm not going to slip up. But I would like to talk to him.

[fogbornphantom]

If you do, you should have an escape plan, and ideally someone close by, in case it escalates.

[minipancake]

Why? If this Ken is as powerful as our Ken, then none of that would do any good. Unless I can count on Igor.

[Which he knows he can't.]

[fogbornphantom]

Then perhaps make sure our Ken is near by, assuming he consents.

Communicating him would help, if nothing else.

[minipancake]

I'll do that. And maybe it will make him feel better.

Needed, you know.

[Love and therapy or not, it still takes courage to add that.]
