oh yeah heads up
ive heard from certain people who committed this themselves and
apparently if you kill someone here
you get your memories wiped of the incident altogether
not sure why they'd go out of their way to do that here but they do this sort of thing where im from all the time so im very used to seeing it
probably can't say the same for other people from other worlds so you guys have to educate me on that

so uhh
im not saying you should or shouldn't kill altogether
im not your mom
but just keep that in mind the next time you got some kinda murderous urge or something
the reason why im anonymous right now is bc i don't wanna reveal who did that in the first place
it might lead to some awkward icebreakers on their part
also i wouldn't lie about something like this if anyone's wondering bc i got no time to waste on leading people on

but this is probably the worst thing any newcomer would wanna see, huh
whoops
well... welcome to this city, i guess

( ooc: feel free to threadjack and craft theories! kromer/@gripper will also be answering questions about things she knows as a victim as well. )

you're not saying we definitely shouldn't kill each other huh.

[Anon......... the optics. They suck!!!]

i'll say it then, hey everyone: don't go around killing people, what the hell. i will be your dad, don't kill or you're grounded.

[ wow, junpei. didn't think you had what it takes to be a dad - is what roland would normally say, but since he's on anon: ]

that's the spirit
i would rather have someone say it than me
so thanks

[One day, his dadlike energy will be Powerful.....]

you're welcome. not that me throwing a fit online is gonna stop anybody, but might as well try, right?

[ just give it ten more years, king... ]

i mean no one's stopping you
it's not like there are concrete laws in this city anyway
wish the higher-ups could've mentioned something like "DON'T KILL EACH OTHER OR WE'LL TAKE AWAY YOUR MEMORIES" somewhere though

[He needs to find a baby in the trash ASAP....]

would you believe me if i told you that that's bog standard secret mastermind bullshit? the first time this happened to me, they ["THEY"... he's not thinking about it,] gave a whole set of secret rules to 1 guy and he just turned out to be decent enough to tell us about them.

so i'm just saying. could be someone out there already knows more than the rest of us schlubs do.

orrrr they did tell us and then we all lost memories. already.

seriously?
then i guess they chose the wrong guy this time
just our damn luck

but yeah it sounds ridiculous enough that i gotta believe you
did you lose some memories too?

IF they chose a guy, yeah. remember the survey questions? "blah blah hey what do you do if someone whacks a pig in front of you?"

that's not a joke, they asked me about killing animals, what the hell is wrong with this place

but i'm saying that maybe someone's questions...... weren't questions. that'd be the easiest place to give out secret information. too bad we can't make everyone share what they were asked.

[got too into the paranoid theories so he sends a second text--]

oh and uh no. at least i don't think so. no lost time for me, at least.

yeah that's what sucks about this whole situation
im not gonna lie
i almost feel bad about giving away this kind of information all willy-nilly like this
i could choose not to tell everyone either
but at the same time, everyone has the right to know
yknow?

even if it gives certain people ideas that they can now kill without consequence
but at that point it's out of my jurisdiction

yeah. you had to make a tough call... it's like the secret rules, only it's... you know, this. i hate to say it, but something like this was bound to happen eventually. that's just how these things go.

[And it's at least something of a boon to have the knowledge of what happens to people who are killed, or at least that's what he's going to tell himself over and over until he can stomach it. The ethical considerations of airing somebody else's murder business all over the internet isn't as huge a concern, sorry to those involved....]

the memory thing is the bigger problem here, until we figure out a way to either get around it or keep track of our own memories in a way the bastards in charge can't figure out. did you see that guy who was handcuffed for no reason? what if they expand memory erasure from murder to jaywalking? then we're all screwed.

and uh is that username kromer the one who got killed? for real?

[Username Kromer who Gregor told him to watch out for...!!! Small world.]

yeah i don't know what everyone expected if they get stuck in an empty city with practically nothing to do
something about cabin fever?

guess we'd better get started on writing down our backstories somewhere
you know, like a journal
record all our daily activities on it then hide them somewhere
other than that i got no other ideas

and...
yeah, she's the victim
although she sure is taking advantage of that fact
it also makes me think that maybe other people out there had already killed but didn't fess up like she did

cabin fever is why people start getting into baking and talking to furniture, not murder. come on, what the hell.

[what a weird take, anon!!!]

we're all gonna be paranoid before long, but that's not a bad idea. pretty tedious, though... maybe just checking in with someone else could do the job?

and if people really are killing each other out there, there's gotta be a better reason than cabin fever. i'm still not saying we should all start stabbing each other or whatever, but what the hell... maybe those are the people who got the secret rules. IF they're out there.

you'd be surprised what humans are capable of if they're stuck in isolation in a long while

[ this is the part where roland would impart more city lore against junpei's will, but junpei is spared. for now. ]

checking in is as good of an idea as any
but keeping some journal of some kind could be helpful in some cases

and about these secret rules... assuming that they're out there
does telling everyone break said rule?

[okay admittedly he is aware that it takes less than 24 hours sometimes for people to start killing each other with chainsaws BUT.....]

"what humans are capable of" god you're smug. don't start quoting your philosophy 101 textbook at me, alright.

whatever though. how should i know? i don't write the secret rules. it didn't the last time, but this time has nothing to do with that.

[ HE DIDN'T EVEN GET A PROPER EDUCATION sobs ]

damn
secret or not there should be some law book that contains all the rules
wonder if anyone's gotten anything good from city hall lately

[do less nihilism and you'll feel better rolanon....]

maybe we have to ask the kiosk for it. if they have us here for a reason, they'd probably want us to behave the right way.

my thoughts exactly
ill look into it if no one has asked it yet

[ until they find out that the kiosks aren't being helpful either! great job guys, hit the showers ]

[somebody should make a spreadsheet about this.......]

go for it. make more anonymous mystery posts about it if you learn something, i guess.
