So I guess we know now what happens when you sacrifice three corpses to the tower.

Everyone might just want to stay out of the tower in the arena until this is cleared up. If you go in, you wind up in a mirror boss fight with a shadow version of yourself.

If you leave and go back in, it keeps happening. I wound up fighting mine four times just to make sure. But on the plus side, if you beat it there's a chance it'll drop a memory charm. I got three of them, all from, like, alternate universe mes. I don't know if that's universal or not. Anyone else have data they'd like to submit?

Something I need to run by you, bro.

((OOC: After consulting with the mods: A memory charm definitely drops after the first fight; on each subsequent fight, there's a 50% chance of a charm dropping.))

i had a lot of time on my hands before shit hit the fan
used to have a makeshift dark room

[And photography was basically a neighbor to filming to some extent wasn't it?]

[ It is close enough that Dirk isn't really that surprised by the hobby. ]

Maybe I should give it a shot sometime. Didn't exactly have the necessary materials back home.

But we both know I'm not here to shoot the breeze about photography.

i said i didnt want to talk about it
case closed

[And Dave was going to be stubborn if Dirk tried to make a grab for it. He wasn't letting the other see what he saw.]

I guess if you insist...

[ You should know by now that Dirk is a forceful, overbearing asshole. But he doesn't know which charm is the newest one, so he just goes to grab the entire bracelet off Dave's wrist. ]

[Dave's reaction is to slap Dirk's hand away with his other hand, putting his arm with the bracelet behind him. Of course, this makes it impossible for him to type, but it was more than obvious that he wasn't letting Dirk just get it from him.]

[ Dirk pulls back, rests his hands on his hips, and cocks one eyebrow. ]

You can't protect it forever.

[He uses the hand he slapped to type. He fumbles a bit, but at least it keeps the bracelet behind him.]

this isnt something worth getting
seriously
its a shitty memory

Then what's the big deal just telling me what it is?

because that means consciously thinking about it

[And Dave has basically mastered out of sight out of mind. Or in this case, as long as he doesn't think about it, he can pretend it didn't actually replay through his mind.]

Something traumatic? If it's not yours, what's the problem?

doomed mes were once me

[A place where all the dead timelines could converge and live together happily. Watching that paradise destroyed by a monstrous being he wasn't sure who it was. It's a little nerve wracking for him.

And to know that a few versions of himself were there...

Technically, he doomed them to that.]

Oh.

[ He's still not clear on all this time travel mumbo jumbo. He'll need to have Dave give him a thorough lesson on it sometime. Just. Maybe not right now. ]

Some doomed you dying?

if that were the only reason i wouldnt be cagey as fuck about it

[He still keeps his arm behind him.]

[ Dirk steps away and relaxes a bit. If he can just put Dave more at ease... ]

I'm just trying to help, you know.

helping or are you just curious as to why i wont talk about it?
because it seems like the latter at the moment

[He doesn't really know how to talk about it.]

A little from column A, to be honest. But it is in my best interests to assist you.

there isnt any assisting to be done
so we can stop talking about this
seriously weather sounds ten times more interesting than our current topic at the moment
