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.))

Do you think those memory charms are worth good money if I try to sell them?

[overbiterestart]

[Just this face.]

[goodboybestshot]

What a clusterfucked mess!!
I went toe to toe with my own shadow too but i certainly gave him the what for!
Pow!! Right in the kisser!!

Or ....what ever it is shadows have i honestly dont have the foggiest idea.

Is something the matter?

[fracturedsoul]

Don't see why not. Recette will buy anything for half its selling price.

How'd your shadow fight go, Crocker?

[fracturedsoul]

Did it drop a memory charm too?

Come back to our room, there's something I want to ask you in person.

[text]

[overbiterestart]

I'd rather not say. Information so classified it hurts.

text --> action?

[goodboybestshot]

Of course!!
Im not about to let a cheap imitation get the better of THIS english!

[Filter]

Certainly.
Be there in a tick!

[Casually opens the door to their room. What's all this about, he wonders.]

[fracturedsoul]

So you lost. That's too bad. I would have liked to see what kind of memory you got from it.

action!!

[fracturedsoul]

[ Dirk looks up from where he's sitting at his desk, and casually tosses a memory charm over to Jake. It contains the conversation from this page, shown from the Dirk splinter's perspective. ]

You got any clue what this is all about?

[text]

[overbiterestart]

Who said I didn't go in for round two? Hm?

[text]

[fracturedsoul]

How'd that go, then?

[thehungman]

Shadow battles, here I come.

[text]

[overbiterestart]

Better, much better. I wasn't ambushed by psycho me. I'm so pumped I may go for round three.

Re: action!!

[goodboybestshot]

[Jake snatches it up with relative ease and clips it on.]

[The reaction is neigh instantaneous. He goes from curious and concerned, to confused, realization, and then complete and utter abject horror. His face is bright red and he snaps the charm off his wrist like it was diseased.]

That!! Ha, that, that's nothing! Nothing at all! So let's just, forget that ever happened!!

[Moves to open the window. He's gonna chuck it.]

[fracturedsoul]

I'll be rooting for you. Be on your guard; mine was just as strong as me, and I assume it's the same for everyone else.

[text]

[fracturedsoul]

Good luck with that. Let me know what kind of memory you get from it.

[text]

[overbiterestart]

Before I go in. Dirk. Were we ever in a destroyed city? All four of us. Together.

Roxy was there.

[fracturedsoul]

Oh no you don't. [ He's up and moving, going to intercept Jake and grab the charm back. ] I expended quite a bit of effort to get this little piece of bling.

So you recognize this memory. Don't you?

[text]

[fracturedsoul]

What? Of course not. I'd never met any of you in person before coming to Rakuen, not even Roxy.

[thehungman]

No worries. I'm a pirate! I know how to cheat.

[text]

[overbiterestart]

Then this memory charm isn't helping me remember anything useful it seems.

[goodboybestshot]

[No, it must be destroyed. It's evil!! No, its really just his dignity. God he is so embarrassed right now. That wasn't something he really ever wanted Dirk to be privy too, augh.]

And I am terribly sorry to say that you were cheated of a proper prize- now let me do away with this wretched thing!

[AUGGH. Sigh. He probably gives up after a while because Dirk could still take him if he wanted to fight for the thing. He'll chuck it later when Dirk's guard is down.]

...I do, unfortunately. Not one of my finer moments.

[fracturedsoul]

Judging by the contents of the memory charms I received, I'd say it comes from an alternate universe version of you -- Mine are impossible to slip in anywhere in my life no matter how you look at them.

[fracturedsoul]

Cheat? I'm curious. Elaborate for me once you've succeeded.
