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.

Will you go down that path?
MISSING.
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.

All messages will be returned with one phrase: "Hi! I'm Zelkova!"
EMOTIONS RUNNING HAYWIRE.
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.

Hopefully you find a way to manage these emotions and ride them out.
RUMORS.
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?

    Avatar Name: Fandaniel
    Class: Shadow Warlock

    Plans: lmao yes but vaguely so I can work with just about anything
    - Amon Isai is officially gone, only Fandaniel exists. He will recall memories made within the game but anything that connects back to things that happened IRL will feel more like half-forgotten dreams. He cannot be convinced otherwise and will express concern for those who insist on having had some "other" life outside of Fragment.

    - He is still a fervent supporter of Lily and will hear no ill against who he will now be claiming is "his dearest little brother".

    - He revealed to Tabibito and Swallow previously that he, too, has the Data Drain ability, and he will now be more active in helping to de-shield shielded monsters since this place is 100% his home, hello?

    - That said, he may be working on an injured basis since he and Dehya Had A Time (thread still pending).

    - Telophoroi becomes public and Fandaniel will no longer hoard the guild supplies. He is no longer hoarding and will offer morning and evening meals to those in need of them. The cult vibes intensify.

    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.

    Class: Tribal Grappler, Level 50

    Plans:
    • Zelkova's gone! Great! That's great. With emotions all over the place right now, Kara's going to be very upset about this. She'll probably try to look for answers but seeing as there are none anyone can find, that'll make things worse...oops...

    • Speaking of Kara, now that her last core memory is gone...she will go ahead and try her hand at art again, probably with some supplies from the mall. In fact, this is going to be her main coping mechanism, and she won't remember why she started Glamour in the first place. She'll certainly appreciate its theme, but fashion is no longer an integral part of her character.

    • KaraBear the somewhat happy-go-lucky Tribal Grappler who likes sparring will eventually emerge.


    Seeking: Heavily gonna focus on deepening CR this patch, so! Let's go CR let's go (also I forgot to write that I am defs still open to new stuff so)
    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...

    Avatar Name: Memoir
    Class: Twin Blade, Level 50

    Plans:
    • Survivor's guilt? Gone. As far as Noé knows, the incident that both scarred him and motivated him to protect other people never happened. Therefore, Noé will be showing a lot more self-preservation and will be less likely to throw himself in harm's way for other people. This is probably for the best.

    • As far as he's concerned, he's just a traveler who can't remember how he gets money to sustain himself. He figures he just picks up odd jobs here and there in every city he's in, or something. Eventually this will just...end up turning him into a Twin Blade who's very much here to help others. Memoir. No Noé.

    • idk again


    Seeking: Like Kara, CR deepening! CR deepening! And ALSO open to new things!
    Offering: Noé, like everyone else, will be experiencing wilder emotions...but generally, he's a pretty stable guy to talk to

    Avatar Name: Hector
    Class: Harvest Cleric

    Plans:
    ☀ The vanishing of his final memory perfectly coincides with Hector's new life in Fragment. He has forgotten murdering his captain, and under normal circumstances he would believe they're still together (the reason he hasn't heard from him in a while is...well, surely it's because he's deployed, right?). But now he has a vague sense that someone is waiting for him beyond Fragment and is going to be trying to figure out who that is, and how to get to him. He's trying to recall his name...
    ☀ He still suffers hallucinations, but since he doesn't remember this ever reaching a boiling point, he happily interacts with all of them. Catch him talking to thin air and staring off into space!
    ☀ Hector is an extremely emotional person normally, but now the tiniest things will set him off. He WILL get into fights and he WILL start hugging people with no warning and he WILL lose his filter and start yelling and nagging at people. I don't think I really need to plan for this since it will probably happen anyway. But conversely do tell me if you'd like to avoid any of those kind of emotionally intense interactions! I don't want to make you uncomfortable for the sake of arpee drama.
    ☀ As usual, he will be using Data Drain to help with the shielded monsters and he will be keeping his guild hall open for anyone who needs medical attention beside just HP top ups (which he'll still be happily doling out).
    ☀ everything is happening a lot i am trying to stay on top of things, ping me if you want or need hector somewhere and i will serve him to you on a silver platter

    Seeking: YOU. GIVE ME
    Offering: A staunch ally, a dad, an uncle... Someone willing to bend backward to heal you and protect you.

wow why wonder about vague someones when fandaniel is right here, hector

100% be explosively emotional at FD, he'll probably try and find a way to turn it back towards accepting that things will be fine right here in lovely Fragment, don't worry about it.

    Avatar Name: Oriade
    Class: Steam Gunner

    Plans:
    makes shrugging sounds of going with the flow

    - Oria Severine will gradually turn into Oriade, a steam gunner that has a penchant for fight everyone and everything for mutual good fun! So he'll be turning more into a genuine and carefree (more normal) 18/19-year old instead of with the moments of occasional maturity that made him seem older than he actually is. If anyone calls him "Oria", he'll just assume that's a nickname despite how they don't sound similar (oh-ree-aid vs oh-ree-ah). Life sure is lighter without the burden of extreme rich family standards to uphold! Yes, this means he can be prone to genuinely lashing out due to emotions instead of trying to be the calm one and more business-like. Finally.

    - Therefore, he will have many holes in his memories, because a lot of his Fragment stuff involved irl things, so he will actively not be thinking about them.

    - He's going to visit Mithrun... and feel gross about it after lmao

    - he's gonna hear so many voices and probably get retraumatized by everyone's Very Bad memories whenever he's in a root town or rec area, so he'll be sticking with being a shut-in inside moon tree

    - I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA TOP-LEVEL OR NOT. we'll see.

    Seeking: let's deepen cr
    Offering: gestures vaguely at somewhat mature 18/19 y.o. turning into a real typical 18/19 y.o.

    Anything else: Hien is here with some changes of his own. Feel free to hit me up for that as well.

    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.

    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

    Avatar Name: tabibito (hani?)
    Class: wavemaster

    Plans: time to break out all the whiskey again
    ꕤ who are you: hani has been entrusting their precious irl memories (non-app ones!) to various people, so lmk if your character would like to be one of them! balancing out their irl memloss with in-game memories, hani has found that while they've lost a lot, they've also gained a lot and what's important to them is still there (famiry in their haato). so that will provide them with some stability for a time

    ꕤ an offer: facebook status - it's complicated. hani rejects the method lily is using, but not lily himself! and they still think lily is genuine with his intentions. they will be reasonable when talking about lily to looney toons gang, tho they might be bit more ruthless in their honesty than usual. staying in fragment is still a consideration bc they care fd + promises

    ꕤ emotions running haywire: at this point, they would really prefer if pvp was on at all group meetings. thanks!!! there are certain topics they do not want to talk about (reviving lily(f) is one), and they will only be willing to talk to specific people about these topics tho extremely reluctantly.

    ꕤ rumors: once hani learns about what's there in the new area from the npcs + other pcs, they will make the deliberate choice to not engage. mithrun's love isn't theirs to chase anymore.
    *BUT should anything threaten mithrun's existence and they hear about it, they will do Something

    ꕤ missing: hani will be looking for zelkova. everyday they will disappear to [place] to search for him, though ultimately they will not come up with any new info re: zelkova. BUT THEY'LL TRY ANYWAY, everyday same time same place


    Seeking: I think I will just be yoloing this patch and catching up with cr. things I've talked to ppl about doing, I am still trying to get to those! ty for patience
    Offering: a little robot alien who may be less human at times and more human at others, much more willing to pvp nowadays

    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?

    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
