A SINGLE PATH.
⬣//ILLNESS BEYOND CONTAINMENT, DEATH WITHOUT LIMIT
AN OFFER.
As you wake, a boy appears before you. He offers you a true path to happiness.MISSING.
Will you go down that path?
Once easily reachable, Zelkova is now nowhere to be found, if you don't count the random scraps of bloodied clothes or a single horn found in Mac Anu.EMOTIONS RUNNING HAYWIRE.
All messages will be returned with one phrase: "Hi! I'm Zelkova!"
You might feel anger or unease, but whatever it is you feel... you know that you feel it strongly. So much so, in fact, that you find your emotions hard to control.RUMORS.
Hopefully you find a way to manage these emotions and ride them out.
NPCs across various Root Towns talk of the sky ripping open or an unusual figure amongst the waves at the Twilight Shoreline. Will you investigate?WHO ARE YOU.
With one last important memory being ripped away from you, it becomes more and more difficult to remember you who really are. You certainly feel like you belong in this world, as if you have always been here.
However... something tugs at the back of your mind. Why do you want to leave so badly?

Seeking: love and acceptance from all for Lily-- i mean...
Offering: Offering a crazy Fandan who is seeking to "help" people by talking them down from believing that their other lives ever existed, clearly they are the nutty ones here. Someone to make him rest since whatever injuries he obtained definitely won't be fully healed by now.

Offering: All things considered, Kara's memloss has only served to make her happier (even if certain events have kind of counteracted that). She's currently a little more muted than usual due to aforementioned events, but overtime she'll become livelier and livelier...

Class: Lord Partizan
Plans:
- Someone is looking a little different as of Saturday night. His skin will be starting to harden and crack wherever exposed, and his eyes look a lot darker than they used to.
- Misteaks will no longer remember anything from beyond Fragment. If prodded, it seems as though he's forgetting even more than that.
- He will no longer respond to any of his given names, including his username.
- Misteaks will no longer be found at Fandom Foodies and can be found only in a few separate places - the mall food court or bowling alley snack bar, where he will always be consuming enormous amounts; the training grounds, where he will be ripping training dummies apart; prowling the streets of Mac Anu where he may be aggressive if caught off guard (though he can be avoided easily and talked down); CONSTANTLY going in and out of the new area; and finally, alone out on the edge of the Mac Anu canals, which is the only time anyone will see him pensive and disengaged.
- If you would like to fight Misteaks, let me know, though if someone is not showing mutual aggression he will disengage quickly, as though they're suddenly not worth his time.
- Misteaks will still be using Data Drain on the larger monsters and can still be coerced into fighting as a team against them. He will be noticeably brutal and unforgiving.
- If your character has verbally shown hostility towards Lily/Cubia/DV/that little fella, Misteaks will be more likely to get into verbal altercations when speaking to them, as though they are now a threat.
Seeking: Come rattle and be rattled.
Offering: a man who clearly needs a snickers bar
Anything else: "my crush turned into a weird eye cat monster and then dumped me 50 times in a row, here's my story"

Avatar Name: Owen

Class: Macabre Dancer
Plans: OH BOY DO I...
•Halloween(?) Party because the horrors persist but so do the parties. It probably won't be explicitly Halloween with all the Fragment memory loss shenanigans, but there will be a spooky seasonal shindig coming up soon, hosted at Owen's guild. Everyone will be invited regardless of their CR with Owen.
•Area Exploration please... I just want to play with Owen's level 75 armor effects so if someone wants to do some sort of adventuring or questing with Owen to get materials or grind levels or something. 🥺
•Event Things finally. Owen will, honestly, be mostly the same as he always has been, even losing more and more memories. I've said as much in the server, but Owen is very much someone who is shaped by lack of memories to begin with, so there won't be much change to his behaviors and actions because he's... used to compensating for the gaps in his memory and sense of self by being a huge asshole. Saying all of that, though, with his memories going he will probably be a more pleasant person, as he has less of a reason to compensate his behavior to generate negative opinions of himself.
•But Also I think playing out his emotions going haywire could be fun!!! He's already so emotional.
Seeking: opens my mouth for every sort of CR.
Offering: A (possibly!) kinder, more patient Owen who might be less purposefully abrasive. Also willing to actually play a support role like his class demands if people need buffs.
Anything else: i gave up on finding a better meme

Plans:
looking for traces of zelkova guys this is sinclair if he doesn't do something he'll go crazy. He's spent a lot of time sharing his memories with people, writing shit down so fuck fragment let's get out of here
emotions Sinclair lost the actual memory of seeing Kromer murder his family but not the knowledge. Riding the anti-Cubia train and actively avoiding any known supporters or associates.
he'll be more frustrated and grumpy or just plain sad. moon tree or phantom operatives hermit, occasionally going to the library to ask hien to make more books
rumors he's been taking care of hani Friday, Saturday?? after that he might go looking or he might not depending on if anyone convinces him to go or stay away. he'll die if he is forced to confess to grandpa tho
Seeking: anything?
Offering: a less patient emil
Anything else: i hope cubia enjoys his wanted poster. no top levels from me this time tho, just tag outs and catching up on stuff from last patch that i never got around to

but what do you think about bringing up like... a buddy system at the next group meeting (or holding another meeting in general, looks across time and space to ganymede or hector or anyone else who might want to host)

Avatar Name: mithrun1
Class: catboy
Plans:
🐈⬛ uh
🐈⬛ mithrun will be locked away in his area for the next week or so. it'll be hard to coax him out, but you can try! he might only be willing to come out if he can phone a third friend (who? tbh he only has so many options) to come with him, depending on how the interaction goes.
🐈⬛ there's one other reason mithrun would actually struggle to leave the area - it'll probably be pretty obvious once you get to it.
🐈⬛ i wrote the top level with the understanding that a lot of people wouldn't be comfortable encountering charm + Gate effect, so don't feel bad if you decide to skip it. i included the option to witness the weird version of the shoreline without encountering mithrun for this reason. so feel free to say your character's seen it if you want and just missed out on the mithrun jumpscare.
🐈⬛ if you really want to meet mithrun but really do not want to deal with charm or Gate effects, that's fine! just give me a heads up and i'm willing to say mithrun does not have it activated at the time your character happens to come in - he hasn't been doing too hot lately, after all!
🐈⬛ you can message mithrun and he'll probably reply
🐈⬛ overall, mithrun is still partly himself, and he will recognize CR and his Fragment memories. he's. doing research right now. "mithrun are you for real." yeah,
🐈⬛ some characters have been subject to mithrun asking them way too intently about their love lives and certain romantic relationships. it's weird
🐈⬛ he's kind of disoriented and out of it but coherent. he will also probably have his emotions amped as well. it's going to be hard to convince him of anything he doesn't currently believe right now :( conversely though he may speak more easily of some things he's been quiet on.
🐈⬛ if you want to do something with mithrun outside of his area or with one of the event prompts, let me know! i'll see what we can work out
🐈⬛ only hard limit: don't kill him or anything, please.
🐈⬛ i tried to be thorough but i'm sure i forgot stuff, hmu with any questions/concerns/etc

he's never gonna let this go
i'm coming for that TL with oria too. watch out

Plans:
❀ She's here to be a kind and supportive friend to people! Come ask her for help if you need it, she'll do her best :) But if you make her mad, watch out.
❀ She's still got a vague niggling that there's something outside of Fragment and goddammit she wants to get her friends out of here and back to reality. She'll be looking for Zelkova fruitlessly I'm sure.
❀ She will not be taking the offer, fuck the offer!!!!!
❀ Undecided if she's going to talk to Mithrun because gestures at Nanashi already doing that
❀ Probably going to start drawing up armor designs on her downtime! She's not super confident in it, but she's got a pretty good eye for style, so if other characters want a design for their deluxe armor she can help them with that.
Haha it's not like she wants you to ditch the lily armor whaaaaaaaat noooooooo that's just sillySeeking: please be her fren

Avatar Name: Ramiel

Class: Flick Reaper
Plans: 🗡️ you're gonna have a bad time
• so! without his memories that make him super pessimistic, and bitchy, dosei is a bit more...mellow. leaning into apathetic, because the depression can never be truly cured, but he no longer has rage against the world for /everything/. enjoy the nicest he's probably ever gonna be
• that being said, he'll will be very prone to experiencing the worst of the uncontrollable emotions, especially when it comes to anger. or embarrassment.
• he is going to be vehemently, almost violently anti-lily. with his undying lingering desire for autonomy, he feels lily has stolen something (or many things) from him, and he'll want them back. badly. to the point anybody trying to defend him or sell him into the lily cult will get strong verbal to even physical backlash. if you're helping him, isn't this also your fault? take responsibility bitch
• probably the most useful he'll be. if you want to do area runs, try to explore and figure things out, or investigate around for zelkova/answers, he'll actually help willingly. probably won't be heading to the beach, however- he'll see people coming in and out and want no part in that.
• will have a strong fixation on his name and identity and when dipping into his anger will likely say ramiel is NOT his name. he can't remember what it is, but it's not that. he wants to remember BAD
• other than that he'll be found in the usual haunts (cat cafe, lumina cloth, the mall). maybe he's disassociating. maybe he's just vibing. find out today!
Seeking: anything honestly. let's fuck it up

Class: Adept Rogue (Blade Brandier, Wavemaster, Macabre Dancer)
Plans:
- Compared to my last plotting update, Levi is like a totally different person now that he has lost the majority of his IRL memories. Now, he’s outgoing and self-assured. He’s become a proactive guild leader who looks out for his guildies, not letting his reputation as a follower of Lily’s hold him down.
- Speaking of which…he’s notably not pushing the Lily agenda like some of the others. He’s also more willing to talk about the subject of Lily.
- Levi DOES have data drain at his disposal, and he will use it in order to protect others from monsters, even those who may view him as an enemy or otherwise not want his help. If they’re in danger, who cares who the help is coming from?
- It’ll also be a priority to get himself leveled to 75 to keep his strength up. He’ll power through his armor effects if he has to. Why DOES it make him feel so petrified, anyway…?
- He still has a desire to leave the game in spite of everything. The nagging tugs at the back of his memory will make sure it doesn’t go away.
- Don’t worry, he’s also still cringe. He’s just harder to bully because he actually has a spine now.
Seeking: Looking to deepen Levi’s CR, especially with IRL connections waning big time. I was also thinking it’d be nice for people to confront him about Lily-related things since he’s shied away from it in the past.
Offering: A much more confident but still cringe guild leader of Fandom Foodies who is finally putting himself out there to help deal with shit. Jack of all trades type of job with minor healing capabilities.
Anything else: looks at what’s happening to his brother who is no longer his brother
eh that’s probably fine
