( action; for keiichi (backdated to yesterday) )

[ Okay, so apparently nobody is entirely sure what happened to yesterday, but.. that only makes her feel worse about it. Regardless of whether they did or didn't celebrate Keiichi's birthday, it's still no fair if none of them can even remember it, right?

So have a knock on the door to your bedroom early in the morning, Keiichi. ]

( voice )

[ By the following day even Ange can realise something is.. well, slightly off. Aside from the fact that nobody seems to remember the 1st, there's also the fact that a lot of people are moving around and.. well, she has no clue what's going on. ]

Is this some sort of huge weird April Fool's joke tradition here in Luceti?

First off there's that day that nobody seems to remember, although those seem to at least be more common, and now there's also a lot of lost people or something like that? A lot of people moving around, at least.. [ sigh. ] Apparently spring fever really does exist if it affects so many of you, huh?

... Oh, Atsuro, Kouki, I'm coming over to check up on the two of you with all of this going on, okay? Let me join in for dinner or something like that too for once.

( action; everywhere )

[ After that message Ange will leave the house for the afternoon and go out into the village - although housemates are free to hit her up before she leaves, of course.

There's something slightly off about her though. For once she's not wearing the hairbobbles she usually always wears, and any sign of the Ushiromiya one-winged eagle on her clothes is gone as well - the band missing from her sleeve, the ring on her finger gone too. Aside from that, it does really mostly seem like it's Ange, though, if not just a little more social. Still not by a whole lot, though.

Feel free to encounter her anywhere in the village on her way to community building 7 where Atsuro and Kouki are staying, or in the community building itself. Eventually she'll definitely end up at the apartment though, knocking on the door. ]

[de_bel_survivor]

So you met Ange in middle school, like with Keisuke...and she's also with us in the lockdown?

[Did they also save her from death, using the Laplace Mail as a guide? But honestly speaking, the contradictions between their memories is the most important thing to handle.

How much was changed? What knowledge does Atsuro know and he doesn't?]

With us...until the end of the lockdown?

["Does she know about the King of Bel?"]

[Action] ┗┃・ ■ ・┃┛ THE BEST MONSTER

[ctrlaltdemons]

That's right.

[He nods as Ange explains, and glances at her for a moment when she mentions those "certain circumstances." Man, it's been so long since then and they have known each other for a while now, huh? ...Or so Atsuro thinks, anyway.

His expression may be becoming less confused and more serious at this point, really. How could Kouki forget this kind of thing? Is he sick...?]

'Til the end of the lockdown, yep. [So yeah. She knows.]

[Action] <`ヘ´> I-I'll fight you..!!

[repudiate]

[ Well, Atsuro already answered the question, so that leaves Ange some time to think about all of this, but.. geez, it's difficult. Besides, Keiichi had already been acting so weird this morning too, and then there was Ryoji as a pony.. ]

Kouki, are you sure the Malnosso didn't mess with your memories? Judging from my housemates there must be some experiment going on, so it could be that. [ There's no way he would completely forget about her otherwise, right? ]

[Action] 凸(｀0´)凸 I'll fight as well!!

[de_bel_survivor]

They could've messed with my memories...on the other hand, it could be the same for you and Atsuro.

[That's right. On the other side of that question, Atsuro and Ange could be affected.]

[Action] (」ﾟヘﾟ)」 BRING IT.

[ctrlaltdemons]

Oh, there's an experiment going on? [Atsuro hadn't talked to many people at all today so far, so he wouldn't know, really...] I... guess that's possible though. But I don't think my memories have been tampered with. Or at least, it sure doesn't feel that way.

[..Which, of course, is the same feeling people get during all experiments. Gah.]

[Action] ( ｡・＿・)ノ slaps mel

[repudiate]

Yeah, but it usually never feels that way with an experiment, right? [ Always the one to point out the negative thing.. ]

But even so, shouldn't it be 'majority rules'? Something should be more likely the more people believe it.

[Action] ヽ( ￣д￣;)ノ kicks mel

[de_bel_survivor]

...We'll see, once we ask around. We don't know we're tampered until it's over.

[Like with Luceti Valley. Oh right, Atsuro wasn't there at the time.]

[Action] (ﾟﾉД｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡ jerks!

[ctrlaltdemons]

I don't think majority rules would apply though, considering that this is Luceti, and there's a chance that we're both affected and Kou isn't.

[Siiiigh. Dammit Luceti.]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see, huh?

[Action] ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ)`Дﾟ) slaps happily

[repudiate]

Wait and see.. [ sigh. ] For once you sure are casual about a thing that could possibly have influenced my memories or whatever.

[Action] o(≧▽≦)o smacks cheerfully

[de_bel_survivor]

Freaking out too much won't help. [Rolling with things and do damage control, y/n?]

[Action] ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ this is child abuse!

[ctrlaltdemons]

Yep. Like Kou said, freaking out about it won't help at all. And there's no way we could figure out whether or not our memories have been tampered with until after the experiment is over. Unless you guys have any ideas to solve it.

[Because for once, he really has no clue. It's Luceti, man...]

[Action] ヽ（ﾟ∀ﾟ）ノ why would you ever say that, mel!! 1 / 2

[repudiate]

Well, then it'd be a matter of figuring out what our supposed 'original' memories were supposed to be, right? In your and Kouki's case it's obvious. Either Kouki remembers me or doesn't or you remember me or don't, but.. what about my case?

[ The thought itself is actually a little near-creepy. ]

[Action]

[repudiate]

If Kouki's memories would be right and I wouldn't have been there all that time..

[ ... ]

Then.. who am I..?

[Action]

[de_bel_survivor]

[...]

I can't really answer that. As far as I know, you're Ange, a friend of Atsuro. And he met you here.

[Action]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[Atsuro just looks down for a moment, contemplating it.]

Yeah, I can't say either. Man, this is nuts... [Siiigh.] Have any of your housemates said anything that may answer that, Ange?

[Action]

[repudiate]

Not really, but I haven't talked to them a whole lot yet.. Mostly since they are all acting really weird too, with one of them being a pony and my own boyfriend not even remembering his name.

[ She crosses her arms with a sigh. ]

[Action]

[de_bel_survivor]

...A pony.

[Out of that, the most odd one of all is the pony.]

[Action]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[...Yeah you lost Atsuro.]

...A pony?

[Action]

[repudiate]

Don't look at me like that, it's not like I'm making this up.

Just.. starting that day everyone started acting weird, he was a pony. .. A talking pony.

[Action]

[de_bel_survivor]

I believe you, Ange. It's just...a bit weird.

[Ponies of all things?]

Who's the guy that turned into a pony?

[Action]

[ctrlaltdemons]

I mean, this is Luceti, so that kind of stuff isn't that far off...

[Still weird though. Uh. Atsuro scratches his head.]

But yeah, who is it?

[Action]

[repudiate]

Ryoji Mochizuki. ... Or, well, he thinks his name is 'Mooncloth' right now.

[ .. ] Why, does either of you know him?

[Action]

[de_bel_survivor]

Ryoji?

[Yep, Kouki knows him.]

[Action]

[ctrlaltdemons]

...Wait, Ryoji? Seriously?!

[...Atsuro too. yep. Of course, it's not like people turning into weird things in Luceti is surprising but... since Atsuro actually knows him, he can't help but try to like. Picture it. And it's a weirdass mental image.]

[Action]

[repudiate]

[ yuuup, she can notice they know him. ]

Yeah, you'd be surprised. At least, I'm sure you can imagine how I felt when I woke up, wandered through the house and found a pony there. I guess you guys could see him if you'd stop by our house.
