One 💀 Nico

[umbraportation]

yesterday was pretty intense but ive got something important to share with the rest of you
yuri was willing to give me some information on what we're dealing with here and told me to share with the class
i figured it would be smart to write it all down here so no one misses out on important details in the meetings

first and most importantly: he called out tiernan specifically about three different things
he said that youd know the - and im quoting here - "fucking, spiteful demon (maybe disguised as time goddess) bitch" that theyve been dealing with but has been out of his reach the whole time
called her Shea whos prone to playing stupid games like this with tiernans name directly attached to it
he also said he didnt know all of the details of what happened or even why she did it
so im counting on you to bestow your knowledge on us all
he went on to confirm that youve never shown the ability to summon those creatures before
and that this is the first time youve appeared on the "other side"

the phone call we all got tuesday at two is his girlfriend named alice
it looks like shes somehow in multiple places at once "here and far away"
she was also on the ship twice daily like clockwork and wasnt affected by the crazy emotions we were at all
i know iori was talking to her but dont know what it was about
goro did too as did vanitas
she got swallowed by the whale but is somehow managing to make phone calls to all of us

our first loop through this was a year long and has been getting shorter with each round
each one getting shorter - until the last one only lasted three months
yuri figured we have two months or less in this one

vanitas has said that even though we dont remember it
WE ALL VOLUNTEERED TO THIS THE FIRST TIME
they are not responsible for kidnapping us
he said that they have told us this in the past but with time running out things are getting more difficult
they believe that if we hadnt agreed the multiverse would explode but thats nothing he could truly confirm or deny
considering theyve been stuck in this loop just as much as we have who knows whats really going on outside of it






if anyone else is sitting on some knowledge they gained from anywhere now is the time to lay it all out
i may not remember anything but id like to get out of this endlessly looping shortening death game

i know things have been painful and difficult but we arent the ones who have to remember watching people die in each loop
try to not piss off the people trying to save us all no matter we have to go through so they stop talking to us
personally id like to get out of this vicious cycle

It's true that we did talk on the ship, but it wasn't really about much -- she said that she was waiting for somebody that she cared about (I'm pretty sure it's Yuri!!) and even said that 'something dark and terrible was looming ahead that wanted to alter everyone's future'.

Also I agree that we should be working together instead of tearing each other apart...

Which also means not jumping to conclusions so quickly. Even if we don't remember all the loops it doesn't make it any less painful for us as well.
But it's even more so for them. . .

[umbraportation]

yeah youre most likely right about who she was waiting for
the guy seemed pretty attached too
like i was embarrassed for him when it came up

[ Bullying from afar? Absolutely. ]

ive found that not getting pissed at them tends to do a lot of wonders in being able to getting information out of them
theyre getting desperate and desperation makes people lash out a lot quicker

[promises_broken]

screw you too Coco

[livefreely]

I think it's really romantic and cute 💖

And I think it's fine to get mad, but. . .
There's a bigger picture here, you know?

name: LUCAS

[captive_aided]

[ It's this icon. ]

I know I'm not likely someone anyone here will trust.
I've been out of the picture too long for any of that to be gained.

But, I've recently been given permission to speak to all of you more freely, and answer questions that you all may have.

I'm sure you'll all want to know how and why I'm able to transform, as well as just what all I'm capable of.

[magician_sideways]

Is there any chance that extends to the identity of the one giving and withholding your permissions?

[It's a long shot but worth trying. Especially given some creeping concerns he's started to have now that he knows Shea is involved in this.]

[captive_aided]

It was Yuri.

They'd been using me for my power of Creation and my ability to take powers away, as well as grant them.

But, last Loop, they learned that you care about Nicholas - the whole version of me.

So, they decided to give you a chance to "win" me. To see how much harder you would fight and work alongside the others.

Because, while you're brilliant, you have a history of being terrible at successfully working alongside this particular group.

And the data showed you as being at risk of going Static, last time.

[umbraportation]

i wont say i dont trust you because im pretty sure you dont get as much say in your actions as the rest of them
plus anyone who can fight like that and conjure up popcorn and a soda dispenser is okay in my books

so besides making some decent snacks - which sorry about by the way i didnt know hed do that
what else can you do

[captive_aided]

I can make anything appear if I envision it clearly enough.

Including living things.

[skyofreality]

Are you still capable of giving powers to people?

Did you give everyone here the power to use the Keyblade and the different abilities that come with it?

[captive_aided]

Yes.

I had nothing to do with the form in which it manifested, but I was able to make it possible to Awaken to them.

[magician_sideways]

Yes. He told me Shea was involved last night. It makes things exponentially more complicated.

The last I knew, Shea's soul had been cleansed and even without that, was bodiless and being contained by an actual demon. Unfortunately, her power allows her to warp time and reality, so she could well be from the future, or even taking a break elsewhen from the previous game before that happened.

Shea's power is more than she's capable of handling. I doubt she was ever 100% mentally stable but her power drives her to madness and could potentially kill her. It tends to manifest in what I can really only call extreme yandere tendencies. Rejection and jealousy drive her to vengeance and cruelty.

She likes Yuri, evidently, since he said she locked Alice outside the loops because he wouldn't leave her.

She also likes me.

[touchsensors]

whats a yandere

[lala no]

[magician_sideways]

[Lala no is right.]

A trope. Someone whose idea of love comes attached to "I'll kill anyone that might try to take you from me and torture you if you ever try to leave me."

[livefreely]

Do we know if it's the same Shea?

Or if it's another one? Parallel universes and stuff is hard.

[magician_sideways]

Not for certain, unless Yuri has some evidence either way. My involvement doesn't even really count as proof because frankly, Shea just has a Type.

[umbraportation]

he was very descriptive of her during our talk and i kind of got that impression yeah

if shes got time and reality powers then whos to say what you killed wasnt just another version of her or something
with those two combined i dont see why she couldnt just hop over to another reality and partner up with herself for evil shenanigans

see i knew it had to be something like that
goddesses - or demons trying to be goddesses - tend to be jealous to the point of making people suffer
guess she didnt like that he already had a girl first
so separating them with time and space doesnt seem like a crazy situation

[magician_sideways]

It wasn't us that killed her, but aside from that point, nothing, really. In fact, we already know there were two realities in play since Shea's brother killed another version of himself that was on her side and replaced him in order to trick Shea.

1/2

[touchsensors]

we voluntered

this is bad

2/2

[touchsensors]

this is realy realy bad

[just_as_planned]

What makes you say that? I think it's somewhat reassuring.

[umbraportation]

[ He's watching all these like the stalker he is. ]

you know its very possible that you didnt come alone at the start
just that youre alone now
sorry if thats the case

[just_as_planned]

I spoke with Vanitas Sunday night. He told me a few things, including that there was someone he didn't want watching our meeting, and that they wouldn't be able to observe us for a thirty minute period in the Forest of the Hungry.

He also said that this game has to remain painful for us, and that he and Eraqus are at risk of disappearing if nobody dies during it.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ welp ]

I didn't want to go into the latter part, but I guess keeping that a secret is pretty pointless by now.

[umbraportation]

ah guess i shouldnt be surprised to hear that everything is being watched
id already asked him if he could spy on us with mystic powers and he said no so who knows if someone has an ability like that or if there was cameras everywhere

ah

[ THAT... yeah... he isn't sure what to say about that. ]
