Luceti Land!!

[lucetimods]

Who: luceti
What: Amusement Parking!
When: Today til the end of the month
Where: A veritable pleasure island, east of the Beach Fort.
Summary: An amusement park has popped up in Luceti. It's all over here.
Rating: F is for friends who do stuff together!

Just some notes here not in the mod post -
1) The weather will be bright and partly cloudy for the rest of the month on the beach side of things. A nice cool sea breeze will keep people from melting out there.
2) All the old Luceti Land rides are still available. However, feel free to make up your own attractions and rides as well.
3) Since this is around for two weeks, we may put up another mass log if this one gets too full. So keep an eye on that!
4) Don't forget to tag your character's name on to the log! If you don't have one yet, just let us know and we'll get you hooked up.

As way of explanation for all this, Bil will have written a message on the first page of the journals. It cannot be replied to, it simply states:

"My condolences for all the trouble. You were due for an experiment today, but I thought you might enjoy an amusement park instead. It seemed like the sort of thing the Great One would do."

[The persona turns to look at him.] It is not for you to understand.

[Grune doesn't speak. She needs to try to remember....]

[whatdeheckisdat]

Sometimes that fails to matter when the fates of worlds are involved.

[The real Dhaos' fist clenches at his side-- but he has to remember that it's only a mirror, and it isn't doing anything worth his anger. He needs to calm down...

He looks at Grune, trying to remember whatever it is she's forgotten. ...Come to think of it, she never has mentioned any form of childhood, and never did answer his question about what species she was. Had she forgotten?]

[lostinmyway]

This matter is between Grune and I alone.

[Grune's gaze has yet to leave the persona in the mirror, but it's distant and unfocused. She knows now the memory is there, so why can't she...?]

[The masked woman regards her for a moment.] Grune. Your attempts to remember are futile. It is senseless to struggle when the world is already on the path to destruction. In time, you will remember...though it may already be too late.

[With those final words, the woman vanishes, purple light and mist swallowing her up. The remains of the mist fade from the mirror soon afterwards.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

Wait.

[...Too late. She's gone. Dhaos' persona stares blankly at the spot where she disappeared as the actual Dhaos turns to Grune.

...Amnesia. It isn't just that Grune has a bad memory: there is something important she must remember, and she cannot. And there may be an entire world waiting for her...

Suddenly, Dhaos feels cold.]

...Grune?

[lostinmyway]

[The fingers of one of Grune's hands are sitting at her temple. She's still staring at the mirror.]

…Yes? [Her voice sounds very far away.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Dhaos is worried now. Both of them. He can't ask if everything is alright, because it clearly isn't, and she'll just tell him she's fine if he asks how she feels...]

...

[He's got nothing. So he'll just put a hand on her shoulder.]

[lostinmyway]

[At the touch of his hand on her shoulder, she blinks and comes back to herself. She looks up and smiles.]

Hello, Dhaos!

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Sigh. Dhaos' persona, who is not used to Grune's eccentricities, frowns.]

...How do you feel?

[Give it up, it's fruitless.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'm just fine. [Yup.] How do you feel?

[whatdeheckisdat]

...

[Neither Dhaos is convinced, though while the regular Dhaos was expecting this, the persona looks more confused than worried. After all, she sounds sincere.]

...Slightly concerned.

[lostinmyway]

[She's honestly puzzled.] Oh, why?

[whatdeheckisdat]

[Dhaos' persona opens his mouth, but Dhaos cuts him off.]

Never mind that. Do you know that woman?

[lostinmyway]

Hmm. I wonder.

[She thinks for a while, but already, her memories have faded.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Somehow, Dhaos feels like he's just been defeated. The poor persona has no idea what's going on, but looks equally unhappy.

That persona... What was she talking about?]

[lostinmyway]

[After a few more moments of thinking--and then simply drifting--she comes back to herself enough to say to both Dhaoses:] I'm sorry Schwartz wasn't very nice to you.

[whatdeheckisdat]

[...Wait.]

...Schwartz is that woman's name.

Did you remember?

[See: ignoring of apologies.]

[lostinmyway]

Remember what? [And it's gone again.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

...The woma--

She will not remember. [Persona!Dhaos may as well learn now.] I assume you met her on a previous visit here...

[lostinmyway]

Oh, did I meet someone? I wonder if we became friends.

[whatdeheckisdat]

[See here: Persona looking visibly confused. Though that expression ought to be very familiar to Grune by now.]

...Never mind, then.

[lostinmyway]

All right. [It mustn't have been important, then.]

[whatdeheckisdat]

[Silence for a bit.]

...I suppose this is normal.

Yes. [Sigh.]

[lostinmyway]

[She looks from one Dhaos to the other.] Oh? What's normal?

[whatdeheckisdat]

...

[Standard reaction.]

...Do you know why?

...There seems to be something wrong with her memory.

[lostinmyway]

[That actually catches her attention.] That isn't very nice. There isn't anything wrong with my memory.
