[SEASONALITY] WEEK 5: TOWN HALL ROUND 2

[ambiography]

[the mingle post is so dangerously close to captcha and i have GOT to remember to turn notifs off for this post. anyway.

everyone will get this message early thursday morning, after the little investigation lucretia and kon have gone on!]

Please meet in the same classroom as before. I believe we have more to discuss.

[and in that classroom, they will find a series of notes written up on the board! everyone is free to look these over, take their own notes, so on.

lucretia is sitting on top of the desk in this room. one arm's still in a sling, her voice still sounds terrible. she has purple streaks in her hair now though and it's cute i just needed you to know.]

All right. So-- I spoke with Sieghart yesterday, and we only had a couple of minutes to speak, but... this is what I was able to get. Some of the things we need to know, they weren't fully aware of either, and some of the questions... he needed to dodge, I think. We couldn't get very direct answers on some of this. I worked in as many of the questions I was given as I could, I compiled some notes as you can see here, but if you have further questions... I'll do my best to answer. Let's see if this helps with anything.

Additionally-- Kon, go ahead and tell them what happened this morning. That's going to give us... some idea of where to go too, I think, but it's not going to be great.

[

she pushes a pen holder off the desk, where it clatters to the floor and pens spill out, then just stares down at it like why did i do this. fuck.

anyway, discuss.]

..."Memories are important. The ones that belong only to you. You aren't really who you're supposed to be without them. Try not to lose them, okay?"

That's what Naminè said to us, right? I'm thinking now that was more of a warning than anything else. If we lose our memories, we aren't ourselves.

[steelo]

And we weren't ourselves.

[ even now, just thinking about it burns ichiro up. the loss of the memory of his brothers - even if it was temporary, it was unthinkable. ]

Lucretia-san's memories were fucked with when she went off on that trip, too. So were Kon's - Lux-chan's, too.

[ yeah, that's sure as shit something! hate it! ] So how the fuck do we hold onto them?

[goalsides]

No kidding. [he kind of seems ashamed about that, and then furious, and then anguished and then he just kind of goes back to neutral all in the span of .3 seconds.]

There has to be something we can do. Maybe...wait do you think that voice that was talking to us was the same fucking thing? [HE REALLY JUST DID NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT.] I don't know how we can hold onto them though. There has to be...some way to store them and keep them safe. On our trip, they were drawings. I don't know if they can be as tangible here.

[ fucking mood

this is terrible. neither did ichiro. he looks like he's about to lose his fucking shit. ]

And ours - ours swapped, too. [ those fucking crayon drawings. naminé where is your coloring book. ]

That's the whole fucking problem - that thing is the enemy, and that thing gets to just fuck with our memories like it's nothing. It took Byleth's fucking arm off in a world based on mine. How the hell are we supposed to see each other like enemies when the only thing causing problems is that? We're fighting against the fucking fourth wall.

[goalsides]

Well we are in a story and going off-script. Fighting against the fourth wall does make a lot of sense. [HE HATES IT THOUGH.]

There's also the part where we don't know if more people are gonna disappear and be taken by this place to go on another field trip. But even the things that've happened...I keep hearing stories about people having to fight against the people they care about. People from here. And all four of us were starting to be less trusting of each other the higher we climbed, right?

And our shit was still lingering for a while after we left. So...it's like it's seeing how far it can push us into thinking we're really at war against each other.
