PLAYER PLOT: attack on memories

[dreamsofwings]

Thanks to some selfishly-motivated shenanigans, Eren is going to use the Founding Titan's power to brain blast Ellipsa. Or…some of Ellipsa, since this is an opt-in event.

Affected characters will find themselves in The Paths (see above meme), a place out of time covered in white sand. Somewhere in the distance is what looks like a tree of light. No matter how much you walk, you won't reach it, it's always just in the distance/stretching into the sky. Normally this is a shingeki only sort of thing but thanks to Ellipsa magic, anyone can be affected!

What does this mean for your character? You have a couple options!

Option one: Memory share! This is pretty self-explanatory. Anyone nearby gets sucked into another person's memory! Both characters will be outside observers watching. These memories are not changeable. Other than that, go ham, see a lot or a little, try in vain to interact, whatever you'd like!

Option two: Idealised fantasy! Always wanted to hang out in the best possible ending? Now you can! Characters will find themselves living one of their fantasies. These are meant to be happy not sad or grim. Feel free to mashup your fantasies with whoever else gets stuck there with you. Whether or not your character realises they are in a fantasy is up to you.

Of course you can do both of the options above.

Option three is that this whole thing just doesn't affect your character and they go on living as if this wasn't a thing.

It's also up to you whether your affected character realises that Eren is the one who caused this. It won't be a secret, and since he'll be at least superficially connected to anyone in the Paths, that could work both ways. Eren will close this connection as soon as he realises what's been done, effectively slamming everyone back out into the real world. That transition will be abrupt and could be temporarily disorienting when your character wakes up.

Affected characters will fall asleep suddenly. The event lasts for one IC day, but since time in the Paths is completely meaningless, your character can feel like they were there for as long as you want. Hours, weeks, forever.

I'm aiming to post the event log on 10 December but I'm on UTC-8 time so it might be the 11th for some of you by the time I get it up.

While Hijikata knows that Eren and Reiner have something going on, he still doesn't understand how Eren could look past all that happened in Paradis Island... but with him slated to learn that his poor innocent babygirl is going to end the world, maybe he could also stand to catch a glimpse of ReinEren, if you're up for it!

I reckon only the latter options would really change his understanding, so perhaps the mutual confession of wanting the other one to survive? (That definitely won't be awkward later!)

rip eren's babygirl persona!! and yes, i'm absolutely up for it. my computer screen broke last night (what timing, just as life finally settled down enough for me to dive back into rp), so i may be delayed in putting a starter together. but yessss hijikata can totally see some ellipsa ererei moments ♥

Nooo, that's some rotten luck... take it easy!! I hope you can replace it without much hassle.

I really can't wait to make these guys' future interactions even weirder! Will Reiner ever find out that Hijikata's been banging Eren too? Will they ever get along well enough to share an Eren sandwich?
