[mingle, backdated to Wednesday] What always ends in bloodshed begins as just a game

[madgiganticfeelings]

[So that certainly was a little afternoon adventure, wasn't it? Those hanging around the ballroom might have noticed two absolutely drenched teen girls just... appear out of the floor, shivering and shell shocked. Christine, once they get on solid ground, pretty much falls to her knees to just... stare into space for a minute.

What is this week, honestly?

But as crazy as this all is, Christine knows they have to talk about this with everyone, as soon as possible. So once she helps Nana find some dry clothes and has a little destressing session with The Dads (TM), she's pinning up a note in the hallway.]

Time for another meeting! Nana and I will meet you all in the ballroom around 7. A lot happened these last few days that we need to discuss. Refreshments will be provided, but bring something if you like!

[Christine will be in the ballroom in her Juliet dress (sadly, her cloak is still in the dryer), holding her binder and a weird old flip phone. Hopefully, this goes at least a little more smoothly than past gatherings!]

((Feel free to make prompts before or during the meeting, depending on if you're unlucky enough to see the gals ascending from the trapdoor. I'll be making a few comments myself to cover all the conversation topics. Have fun!))

“These... shows”? That’s how he referred to it?

[isawallflower]

Yes. Some of the...weirder things here- it's because it's happened before. Like... [ She exhales through her nose. ] Like memories getting repressed. It's because that's how it happened before.

[justmeheere]

Oh, uh. He doesn't. He doesn't control that. The memories coming back, I mean.

[isawallflower]

[ ....... ]

He doesn't?

[justmeheere]

No, the. The SQUIP got super. Super fucking pissed at me, when. Uh. [It's Riley he's talking to so he's just gonna. Talk around. What happened.] Like, I know I said it gave me back. I have? Most? Most of my memories. But the SQUIP edited them for, uh. For stuff it didn't. Didn't want me to know? And it was. It was not happy? With the memories I got back.

I am going to find whoever gave you that thing and punch them.

[justmeheere]

I mean. I don't think. I'm pretty sure the stock boy at Payless is, like, a pawn? In uh. There's, uh. M-michael said it was weird that they ended up at a high school in New Jersey and at the time I. I blew him off, but.

[IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THERE IS, PERHAPS, A WIDER PLOT GOING ON.]

[mcfife]

I knew The Phantom wasn't the wizard

Did he say who does it? How do they come back?

[justmeheere]

I think it's. It seems random? I don't really know, it was just. It was mad that it couldn't. Couldn't control it.

[mcfife]

I suppose it is good that it lies beyond the power of your computer. These memories do answer plenty of questions.

[justmeheere]

Yeah, uh. Yeah. I'm glad that there's. There's things it couldn't control.
