What: New Feather Party

[ooc: Alright everybody, here's how it works! Comment spam is the name of the game here and yes, my inbox can handle it! First comment is for anyone who's volunteered to help out and there's a lots of people so Selphie has already split everybody up into groups. aka: feel free to make your own groups. After that, there's just going to be general partyness going on! Threadjacking is more than encounraged (hell, it's expected and demanded) and there you have it! The grumps can come btw, they just can't grump at the party! xD]

The party was all set up and ready to go. The food had been delivered, the rec centre was thoroughly decorated and cheerful with its spring colours and Selphie was just hanging around waiting for the guests to arrive. Her small army of helpers had been hard at work since the day before and it hardened the perky brunette's resolve to make this one of the best parties she's ever thrown. A small part of her wished that her other friends from home and those who had left this place could be here to enjoy the party with everyone here. Even then, a larger part of her knows that it's better that they're not here.

Regardless, Selphie goes about getting this latest New Feather party arranged with every ounce of cheer and assuring those new people that not every people associated with Luceti is crazy. Giving them a welcoming environment to get to know some of their fellow residents is better than wondering what's going to happen next. Besides, it could help those shy people make some friends or get over their anxieties about social gatherings. Overall, Selphie felt that these parties were worth the hard work and would do them as many times as necessary.

Yeah. If only there had been some other way... I end up thinking that about a lot of cases I've worked on.

They both went up in flames, but actually... they never did find the old man. By killing his young self, his older self never existed... which is a complete paradox, but that's time travel for you.

[Terra shakes her head, not knowing what to make of any of that.]

That's so....

Well. I'm just glad that time travel isn't really an issue where I'm from. Life is chaotic enough without it.

That's the only time I've come across it, so far, but I'm sure you're right. As fascinating as it would be to go back to different eras and witness history unfolding, there's always the danger of messing up the timeline entirely...

...But I think this place doesn't count, we seem to be in some kind of bubble where paradoxes wouldn't affect the worlds we're from. Theoretically, at least.

[He's still learning the ropes in some ways, but overall he has his ideas already forming.]

That's what it seems like, from what people have said, but...it doesn't make much sense to me. How can what happens here not affect us at all if we get sent back home?

That's something I'd like to know, myself. These experiences can't just disappear... and even if they're forgotten somehow, there are techniques that can be used to recall them.

[Terra perks up, curious. The only thing that helped her amnesia was reuniting with her father's magicite, and that was hardly a cure-all.]

...there are? Like what?

There's a technique called regression hypnosis. It's... almost like a sleep state, but you're actually much more aware than you would be asleep, you're just tapping into the part of your mind where those memories are hidden. I've used it to recall some events in my past that I had buried away.

So, it really helped?

[Thoughtful now, wondering if that's something she would ever try.]

It would be interesting to see if it worked for people here, those who left and then returned with no memories of this place....

It really helped. There's nothing else as effective at drawing out repressed memories... so I'd be willing to believe it could help in those cases. Of course, there's the one major drawback, that we'd need to have a trained hypnotherapist around to do the technique...

Hm...I don't know anyone around here like that, though there could be someone?

There could be, with so many people here, from so many different backgrounds...

[Terra glances around at those assembled.]

Maybe more, with all these new people around. But...I don't know. It's an interesting idea, but there are things I wouldn't want to share with other people, you know?

That's understandable, memories like that can be very personal. That's why you want to make sure you can trust the person you're dealing with.
