a.k.a. that time Kisha shoved a bunch of shit together and called it good.


1. Post you character.
2. Comment to other people and pick a scenario. Or use the RNG (1-12) to pick one for you.
3. Pick a scenario within the scenario. Memes within memes! Or use that handy RNG to pick it for you.
4. Do this as many times as you like until you're bored with it all. UNLIMITED THREADS.
5. OPTIONAL: combine a bunch of memes and scenarios for one strange thread of whacked out weirdness. Handcuffed to an escort while you have amnesia? WHY NOT?
6. Not optional: HAVE FUN.

2. Distrust - simple as it sounds, you're being lied to. you can't prove it but you're not falling for their tricks anymore.

8. Folie à deux - the more either you or the other person talks, the more you feed into this unease and the more real it sounds. what can you two alone do?
9. Replacements - is it just this person or is everyone being replaced with a fake? you're not a fake, though. you won't let them replace you.

Comments

snow is super fluffy

[apotheostasis]

Don't worry, I don't even like peaceful myself. Maybe I play up the whole playboy thing, but casinos are pretty fun and I have no idea what I'd do with myself all alone. I really don't handle being alone well. Aaaaand that wasn't something I meant to say out loud, and neither was that. Woah. Am I drunk? Where did my brain-mouth filter go?

I do love fluffy snowflakes

[intellectualrapist]

[Erika blinks at him. It's kind of funny to hear him verbally backtrack like that.] I don't smell anything on your breath. Maybe you're just feeling particularly honest today?

[She says that in their usual joking way.]

[apotheostasis]

[He grins at her.] Like that's something either of us believe in. You're really gorgeous, by the way. Ugh. I'll just go with it. Why does this happen to me? You'd think one of them would do something to stop it. And don't ask who I mean by that because I can't tell you.

[intellectualrapist]

[Teasing thought process hits a bump at his words. Gorgeous? Oh. Erika is...pretty sure he's not kidding around and actually just thought spewing, so that was honest. Or maybe not. Maybe he's better than she thought?

Just. Junking all these thoughts.] Oh but you might like this. Third-rate detectives might dream about a chance like that! But I won't take advantage of it. That would ruin the intrigue.

[And she's not that mean. Not to Zelos, anyway.]

[apotheostasis]

That cover-up is almost convincing, and if I didn't woah this is going into increasingly less comfortable territory and I'm just going to try to make it stop. Yeah. Crap, I feel bad for even liking you. [he is just going to facepalm now at himself]

[and speak through his muffled hand] I don't even get how you make me feel better.

[intellectualrapist]

[Erika just sort of stops and blinks at him. A few times. And that is a very distinct blush rising to her cheeks. Wow, definitely...honest, yeah. And. Honest. And.

She's staring a bit, yes. The girl of constant wit and comebacks is trying to restart her brain.]

...Ah, that's... [Good. Nice. A lot of words.] ...I-I'm not complaining if you feel that way.

[Unlike him, she isn't compelled to spit out the stupid words in her head but her pauses are probably bad enough.]

[apotheostasis]

Ahhhh! [Zelos ruffles his hair, which is usually the sort of goofball move he fakes but right now he's faking faking because he doesn't even know what he's doing.] I don't even know what I'm doing. [See?] It's this stupid snow, nothing good ever happens when there's snow. I don't want to see you in red and white.

[He grabs her hand and takes off at a run to his house. At least when they're inside, it won't be snowing on them anymore.]

[intellectualrapist]

[Erika can't help being, well, confused. Less because he can't control his words and more like the words themselves. That clicks some things into place for sure but she doesn't ask. There's still a lot to process here.

So she tries to derail it a bit.] I don't really look good in those colours anyway.

[apotheostasis]

[He realizes what she's doing.] Why do you even try for me? I'm not worth it. You should just gut me like everyone else. This is so laaaaaaaaaame. [By which he means mortifying and terrible.]

[intellectualrapist]

[Calling her out on her tsun is just a little low! Not that he can help it. So she blushes and fumbles for an excuse.] W-Well, not like I'm worth it, either, so we're even. That's all.

[apotheostasis]

[Okay, he grins.] You're very cute when you're pretending not to like me, unlike pretty much everyone else, who are pretty disgusting when they're pretending the exact opposite. I really hate all of them. I don't deserve you.

[intellectualrapist]

[Oh god Detectives don't blush. This isn't fair.

Latching onto what she can.] I can refute that last claim at least. I'm a terrible person. If I could still use truths, I'd be able to say that without a hint of pain. Saying something like that- if you meant because of the trouble I cause, then yes. But in a good way? That isn't possible.

[apotheostasis]

Yeah, that's the weird part. It's not like I don't know that you're awful. You're supposed to be as worthless and pathetic and I am, and from the moment I met you I didn't like you, so why did that change? You should get to be happy after everything.

So you can't really stay with me. All I've ever done is take happiness away. She was right about me. [More facepalming. More talking through facepalming.] This endless talking bullshit is really pissing me off.

[intellectualrapist]

[Okay now the logic is just hurting her brain. The hell happened? She's going to name it Battler Syndrome. That sort of looping out and around the box makes her dizzy.]

I'm not a piece and I'm not owned. If I want to waste my life on rooftops with you, that's my decision. I'm docking points from your observation category for not noticing you make me happy.

[apotheostasis]

I noticed, but I still don't know why and I can't make you happy. You're free but I'm owned and I can use them back as I like, but it only works out if I end up on the winning side. There's no point until then, 'cause if Cruxis tells me to marry someone tomorrow, I don't have a choice, just like every Chosen before me.

[intellectualrapist]

[This is so confusing and stupid. Erika hates feelings. Except they're important and even she admits that now and ugh.]

Who said I wanted marriage? It's...fun liking you and being with you. But I stop believing in that sort of thing a long time ago. So- this is fine. I'll probably go crazy and die before we have long to miss each other.

[She groans and holds the side of her head.] I'm not even the one with word stupidity syndrome either and I'm saying this...

MISERY LOVES COMPANY AND COMPANY LOVES MORE

[apotheostasis]

At least you get how irritating this is! [Misery loves company. Explaining so much about them both?] I'd like to make out or something to shut it out, but we'd probably end up having a really annoying time of it. I don't want to be like my dad, even it I already am aghh if I compliment you too much you won't like me anymore.

she hates everyone except zelos

[intellectualrapist]

[After a pause she starts laughing, staring at him.]

If you compliment me, I'll stop liking you? I'd think you wanted something at first but if you meant it I'd be happy. What sort of self-esteem do you think I have?

[And don't ask what the hell gets into her but maybe it's how absurd this is.]

You have a really attractive mind, you know? I don't care about looks but you think and you're thinking all the time. You take people apart when you look at them. Do you hate me for saying that?

[apotheostasis]

No, so if it's so easy, why don't you say what you really think about me? [He drops down onto the foot of the staircase.] If you've stopped believing in it, then what're you afraid of?

[intellectualrapist]

[She frowns and looks away. It's really funny. The Witch of Truth never could face the truth very well, right? So it hasn't changed all that much.

Erika holds her upper arm and for a moment it seems like she might just refuse to answer at all.

Instead, she just refuses to look at him.] Just let me finish. I hate being interrupted.

...I really like you a lot. You're not a very good person but you're still better than me. But you still treat me like I'm a person anyway. I don't know why you do but you do.

[A soft laugh.] No, that's a misleading answer. I made a list...a while ago. All the reasons I like you. I could probably recite it. Ninety-eight points and counting. And then I made a list of reasons I should stop hanging around with you. But I scrapped it and didn't keep track very well in the first place. This was on it, though. Even if it was unlikely, if you ever confronted me, I might actually say something like this and get stuck watching you with other girls and get jealous and hear you call me some stupid psycho bitch. Then you'd walk away. Anyway, it didn't really matter because...when I made a list of why you would like me, there wasn't anything on it.

[She shrugs, eyes closed.] Those are my truths. I probably have more if you want them.

[apotheostasis]

[Zelos grabs her wrist and pulls her down to sit beside him.] There are different kinds of psycho bitch, and I like your type a lot more than I like the ones I spend most of my time with. Also, stupid? You're joking, right?

I really hate nobles. They're so fake. They're poison. We don't like each other and we smile at each other all the time anyway. You didn't like me when we met either, right? I could tell. It annoyed me that you saw right through me and smiled anyway.

Then you stopped faking it. This has got to be one of the least romantic things I've ever said to a girl, but yeah, psycho bitch. Pretty obvious. That's when I started to like you. Maybe that's twisted and worthless, but I'm a selfish, worthless bastard, so who cares?

[He laughs into his hand.] Man, I really do suck at seducing you. People in this world just use each other to get what they want, so I have no idea what I'm doing with you because I don't know what I'm trying to use you for, and I've got no clue what you want from me.

[There's a muffled groan, because oh god he is so stupid.] This would sound way better if I could filter what I said before I spat it out.

[intellectualrapist]

[It takes her a second to absorb all that before trying her hardest to just turn off her own filter and just respond.] I didn't even not like you. You were too worthless to me to think about too hard. I saw through you, puzzle solved, done. Maybe that is not liking someone. Thinking they're not worth your time...yeah, that sounds right. I didn't even realise that.

[Then she can't help laughing.] That's horrible. It's when I started to like you, too! You stopped pretending. Why...is that of all things attractive? [Erika puts her head in her hand to look at him.] All of this? It's ranking pretty high. Higher and higher.

[But she takes a deep breath and tips her head back, smiling.] What do I want from you? You really don't know? I'm a psycho bitch in love. [She taps him on the head.] Use those brain cells I like so much.

[apotheostasis]

You love-- [But he can't even think the thought to spill it out. His laugh isn't pleasant and his smile isn't right.] Do you think I have any idea what people want from each other when they really care? I'm taking off points, Detective. Let's go with a motive list. Things people want in relationships: sex, status, money, happiness. The last one's pretty naive. If they want to be happy in a relationship, they should get a dog.

Did you look up my dad yet? It's motive.

[intellectualrapist]

[Surprisingly - or maybe not since it's Erika - her good mood seems to be increasing.] I'm only pointing out my own issues have been transparent enough but I suppose I'll concede yours got in the way of your reasoning. [Leaning back thoughtfully.] And of course I did, as well as sorting through all the gossip. Your reasons, though, are straightforward once analysed and explain this situation we're in clearly. If I needed further evidence, right now you can only say what you think and you couldn't finish that first sentence. Simply by being unable to think it, this level of reasoning is possible.

So. [Erika holds out her hand in front of her, as if presenting evidence.] Should I present my motives as well? If this is a case, what's been murdered? I think the answer is a potential future. Between the two of us, there's enough motive. But this mystery would never pass a proper inspection. It's better off as a story.

[Opening an eye, she glances at him.] I'm the detective. But if you want to steal my title, explain me. I'll bet you a kiss that you can't.

[apotheostasis]

[Zelos talks very, very quietly into his hand.] It's all this snow.

[He runs his hand through his hair, looks at her. Smiles.] Not sure how into games I am right now, but I know lists are bad for your mental health.
