[gradenine]

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 could say that. the more heated the better

here i thought being without my full strength would limit my fun, but if death is nothing to worry about ...

it's just too bad about your memory

[gripper]

( ahaha. )

In more ways than one.
Do you want to know what happened after I woke up?

[osake]

do tell, honey. i'm all ears

[gripper]

I had trouble speaking. Trouble remembering faces. But worst of all, Assassin, I lost something very, very precious to me.
I couldn't tell you what it was, because I forgot it, but I remember the moments leading up to it
and then nothing.

[ shuten reads that with all the impartiality of an audience to a ghost story. how terrifying, how sad, how thrilling. ]

quite the conundrum. i would ask how you knew you were missing it at all ... but i would suppose you just did, didn't you?

and what of the one who took your life?

[gripper]

( kromer doesn't often have gaps in her memory— she has a very, very excellent memory, in fact. so to have something missing, something that when she tries to remember it, why she had been so excited for it, why she had befriended someone as pathetic as that boy in her class just for it—

and then not be able to remember what it was all for?

yeah. she just did, in a way. )

Who knows? I didn't get a chance to speak with him until recently.

( technically true. texting doesn't count, right? )

He seemed fine, though.

[osake]

[ "seemed fine," on the heels of what a selfish thing like shuten considers a properly deterring punishment, is amusing at best. when her most prized possession is her identity, her experience, memory loss just isn't worth a little bloody fun.

regardless of what this stranger says about the one who took her life. (not murderer; an oni's vocabulary for justice is simply different.) ]

what a tender situation

[ "tender" like precarious and "tender" like ... ? ]

i'll be sure to keep all that in mind

May I ask how you know the memory is precious to you? Was the lead-up and what followed a momentous occasion in some way?

[gripper]

( THIS USERNAME IS SO LONG WHY NOT GO WITH SOMETHING SHORT AND EASY TO SAY, KING... )

He and I snuck into his family's basement. I was excited, nervous, the whole works.
Who wouldn't be? I mean, we were going to...
Hahaha. I don't remember what happened, but I know he left first, and I remember being grateful and excited for days afterwards about what we experienced.
What a shame! If I was that happy about it, it must've been something important to me, right?
That's how I know it's precious.

[unrequite]

[ These are things I ask myself every day. Midnight, wherefore art thou cringe? Deny thy chuuni and refuse thy username... please god... ]

Ah! Say no more. Such theft from the content of the heart... What more could salvaged from a wound this savage? My condolences.

[gripper]

( hahaha holy shit she's having such a good time! talking to people! and knowing sinclair can't say ANYTHING! )

I appreciate your understanding.
