[EVENT] Memory Tapes
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.
[For links to characters' memories, please see this post in the OOC comm. Have fun!]

“That… feels……” familiar? No… maybe? She isn’t sure. But if this morgana is like her, and was made by someone.
Then does that
Does that
Does that
Does that
Hannei looks to the side, trying to think, her expression scrunching up in concentration. there’s something there, a dot she can connect. An answer she can reach. If she could just
Just
Just-
And then it’s gone. And her expression blanks for a moment before she blinks and looks up, suddenly looking curiously excited.
“Wait, so if this morgana is akiren’s partner… and Akiren is akechi-kun’s rival… does that mean the cat is my rival???”
W-wait. How’d she jump to this? It’s like she didn’t even process that last comment. What? What just happened?
no subject
That was... weird, to say the least. For a moment, it looked like she was making some connections in her mind, remembering some things, only for it all to slip away in less than a second. Clearly, it's not like she's forgotten about what he's said- but still.
How odd.
"Well- I suppose if you want to think of the cat as your rival... your Persona is Fenrir, no?" The dog and cat theme would certainly make sense. "But it is kind of hard to call someone your rival if you've never had any sort of interaction before, even by proxy. It's one thing for a detective and anonymous thieves to have a rivalry, but Morgana hasn't even shown up in your world, if I'm understanding correctly."
no subject
"A twin," he thought, his mind snapping to attention the moment the word Akechi reached him.
He leaned closer in the mental fog, metaphorically peering through Azathoth’s view. The young man, Kou—he carried himself differently, more grounded than Goro had been. Yet the resemblance was uncanny. The sharp, calculating gaze, the slight downturn of his mouth when he was lost in thought… It was like staring at an echo of Akechi.
Now...he's seen his post but how is he supposed to talk to him? If he isn't careful- he will lose even more memories and having Azathoth looming over that...
It's scary to think about.
no subject
“Yeah! Morgana must be my rival then! … weird how I’m not a dog though? I mean I guess I did have fun during Halloween, but being a dog all the time would probably be weird” she crosses her arms and thinks aloud, it’s like she has completely forgotten Kou’s comment about Morgana’s origins.
That’s… weird.
“And I guess it’s too soon to make a rival call, akechi-kun has some multiverse fate thing going on, I guess I don’t?” She pouts like she’s upset by this.
Then she blinks again, “I’m sorry I think I got off track, what were we talking about?”
no subject
This... may be something to keep an eye on. It's not like he cares that much, but the sudden 'reset'- it feels wrong. It feels like Sumire.
"..."
His skin prickles- for a moment, he feels like he and Hannei are being watched, but it's gone just as quickly. A quick look around only reveals the cognitions- no sign of a real person. Hm.
... What a goddamn pain. He's way too tired for this shit.
"Nevermind," he sighs, leaning back. "I'm grateful that you returned my tape, in any case."
no subject
“I’m happy to help!” She lightly taps her her toe against her other heel. “And um, thanks for talking, I’m sure this whole situation with the tapes is… weird” she doesn’t know what was on the tape Akechi got but he looked frazzled when she saw him. So she can’t help but wonder what else could be seen on these tapes.
She wonders if anyone got one of hers.
She isn’t sure if she wants that to happen or not.
“But I like talking with you! You’re cool” Kou is pretty cool. And maybe it’s her curiosity but she does want to get to know him more.
He’s the only Kou it seems, like she’s the only hannei.
no subject
At least Hannei was nice enough about the whole thing- she's being respectful of his wishes, without being pitying, and he can appreciate that. The whole Mementos thing is... weird, and he can't deny he's curious about it, about the whole sudden forgetting thing- but it's not as if he's in a position to help her with that, right now.
Somehow, he has a feeling that divulging more information is just going to go down the forgetting path as well. Perhaps it's something he ought to investigate.
... Later. Maybe.
"It wasn't unpleasant to speak with you," Kou replies, humming. "You're an interesting girl, Kugutsu-san."
no subject
That might be wishful thinking.
But oh well!
Though Hannei grins at that comment. Apparently, taking it as a compliment. “Thanks!” Interesting is certainly one thing to call her.
“I guess I should get going then.. it was nice talking with you Corvus-san!” She does want to look around a bit, see if there is in fact any weirdness going on because of these tapes.
She’s curious.
no subject
"Have a good day, Kugutsu-san," he says, and leans back with a sigh. "I suppose I'll wait here a while longer..."
Unbothered by any of the other patrons, he fishes out a cigarette- they're just cognitions, anyway- before hailing the waitress, and ordering another coffee.
no subject
His focus zeroed in on the girl. The one with slighty wavy hair and hazel eyes that flickered almost gold.
His deduction was right. She was an anomaly- or part of the strange multiverse that didn't replicate EVERY thing from his world in different mirrors.
So the Akechi with her...
He's hit a jackpot.
