WEEK 3

[As Marie said: so much for trust and resolve. Two people are dead, and there is very little anyone can do about it now, no matter how much they would have wanted to sacrifice themselves.

In particular, with Marie's words during the trial, it's clear that time is limited. Or is it? Marie is also capable of omitting the truth when it serves her needs, especially when it comes towards the Strangers and their still-missing memories. In any case, one can only hope they don't fall for her tricks again, even though getting away with murder would - apparently - save at least one life.

There is something else, as well. When everyone wakes up the morning, they will find that information on their wristwatches has been updated to reflect their new number - and something new about their powers. Not only that, but a new floor has opened up above Floor 1 for everyone to explore. Maybe more can be found on just what, exactly, is going on.

Is Marie telling the truth? Is the universe really ending? Or is it just another means of getting what she wants? Whatever is happening, people will need to be more careful around her - and one another. Who knows what Marie will offer next - or what your roommate or new friend is now capable of as a result. Especially since it's now known, thanks to Marie's actions during the trial, that everyone has definitely lost some memories. And unfortunately, no one seems to have regained any of them so far - or if anyone has, they haven't said a word.

If trust and resolve was ever needed, it feels like now is the time to try and find all that.

There are thirteen people in this place.]

"Jack of all trades, master of none." Careful on having too many skills, Sir Naoya.

[ He's going to take off his jacket and he's going to start measuring it and stuff. How he knows these skills is beyond him tbh. ]

[crouching_sin]

I can't help but be talented. What about yourself, though?

[vividsins]

I don't know. I can't recall where I picked up my skills. But I was always a practical person, so maybe that's it.

[crouching_sin]

Perhaps. Though it had to come from somewhere... maybe it'll come back to you eventually.

[Though given everything, there's not much of a chance of that...]

[vividsins]

I hope. I don't like having these gaping holes in my memory.

[ It's frustrating. But he does seem surprisingly adept at needlework? ]

[crouching_sin]

Heh. I don't, either. I'm known for having a... very good memory, to say the least. To have holes in it is incredibly unusual.

[vividsins]

I'm incredibly long-lived. It's not that I remember everything, but where and why I pick up needed skills and my name should be something I recall easily. But I... Simply don't. Another thing taken from me, I assume.

[ Which is obviously bothering him. ]

[crouching_sin]

You're not taking it well. Why is remembering so important to you?

[vividsins]

I mean, they took my name. Who knows what else they took? If there's no context, I can't tell if what they took was important or not. We could all be completely different people and not even know it.

[crouching_sin]

We could be. But how does that affect who you are, right now?

[vividsins]

I don't like the idea that they know more about me than I do, and that with a simple press of a button or whatever, they could change me completely. Remove the right memory... And you'll lose yourself.

[crouching_sin]

... Perhaps that's not a bad thing. Some people could benefit from losing themselves. ... But I agree that we need to get them back, because it gives them power over us that I don't enjoy.

[vividsins]

Exactly. Were they benevolent, I might not mind so much, but when any of those memories could cause someone to break down and murder someone foolishly...

[crouching_sin]

Of course. There's too many people here who are already unstable, and more that could be made so quite easily. Give them a push, and... well.
