COLLAPSE THE WAVE MEME

Collapse the Waveform Meme

A meme for characters CRAU'd to heck and back.

How many times now have you used that journal? How many places have you played that character?

How many friends, lovers, families have they found?

Well, here's some headache-inducing news: Ultimately, they're all the same person.

And now, the wave form has collapsed, and they actually are the same person. All of those memories, plus any new abilities and scars, smashing down into a single soul, a single incarnation.

On the bright side, at least whatever universe this is, you're not alone in it. On the less bright side, good luck navigating your relationships now.

Any CRAU character can respond to this meme, though of course, it's more interesting for characters who have been to at least two games. Meet your old friends, your new friends... Your friends' friends? Whatever. Consider noting down not only what games your characters have been to, but if you're open to three-people threads, for extra juggling-of-memories fun!

...Is it? I don't...think you'd think that. Cuz I think...someone's gonna come punch you for even talking to me.

[founderinglight]

You're family.

[He says that with an astonishing amount of blind conviction for someone talking to a person he only met once in his life in one singular universe.]

I'm always glad to see family.

[motherfucking_ghost]

No I'm not. Don't you talk to me about fucking family! [It's sudden and vehement and even he blinks like he's not entirely sure where it came from, but it's here and letting go of it is hard when it's familiar.]

[founderinglight]

...No matter how much he rejects me, he will ever be my brother. That seems to be the only thing that's constant in my life.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Do I look like your fucking brother? I'm not--I'm not anyone's brother no matter what they say--except--Junpei? And--but, no, wait, Fuku--no. Delta? N...o, no, wait, I...

[founderinglight]

No, you look remarkably like the man my brother is fucking.

[Sips soda casually.]

And I do not want any more detail than that.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Your brother.

Your brother who is Ardyn. Yeah? Yeah. You're those twins. Not the other twins.

[founderinglight]

I'm not sure what other twins you're talking about, so yes, we're those twins, Ardyn and Izunia, habitually stealing each others' names for various violent purposes, are you going to sit down?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Probably not? I'm very...confused.

[founderinglight]

...Fair enough, I suppose. Well. Last I was aware you had a stated intent on marrying my brother, or at least getting engaged to him, though I'm not sure why you're adding the extra step, which very much does make you family, at least from my perspective. Fair?

[motherfucking_ghost]

What extra step?

[founderinglight]

You agreed to get engaged but didn't actually get engaged? If I'm recalling correctly?

[He's not sure why you did that.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yes?

[founderinglight]

That's an extra step and I don't understand why you did that.

[motherfucking_ghost]

We're gonna? I think?

[founderinglight]

I would hope so. I'd... like to know that he can find happiness somewhere, even after everything.

[motherfucking_ghost]

......I'm gonna ignore all the big questions right now. What are you doing?

[founderinglight]

Trying to get my memories in some kind of order by drawing out as much as I can and organizing it later.

[He taps the sketchpad with a knuckle.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Is it helping?

[founderinglight]

Somewhat, I think. I can at least assign faces to timelines.

[motherfucking_ghost]

...Jesus this is more confusing than when I time traveled in a loop.

[founderinglight]

Well I would imagine so, since a loop is repeating instead of branching and also would probably feature the same people over and over again.

I don't know, I don't think any of mine involve time travel.

[motherfucking_ghost]

There were a lot of me by the end if it, though.

[founderinglight]

...That makes me significantly less inclined to ask for details.

[He needs those last few sanity points.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

I'm not...sure it actually happened anymore, but then it basically happened to Wyoming? So. Fuck if I know.
