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!

Auu?

[Makoto sniffs the air and wanders over there, robot kitten perched on her head. At least Nekotari's a constant.]

You're from Koriko, so that means it's real, right? 'Cause I remember it and I remember not going there, and it's weird.

[serrata]

Ah?

[ Oh, wait a moment -- she does remember this girl. She hadn't known her for long, but she definitely remembers. ]

That's right, I was... I was Kotori for a little while. And then when I went back to visit, I wasn't.

[ She rubs her temples, trying to get it all in order. ]

Did you ever tell me your real name?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Sawatari Makoto! Or maybe Jin Makoto. I might change it. My cat's still Nekotari Meat Bun. Who're you?

[serrata]

I...

[ That's the million dollar question, isn't it? ]

On that island, I was Kotori. I was definitely Kotori. But the rest of the time... it's not always the same name. Sometimes it's Yuuri, though. A lot of the time it's Yuuri Wakasa.

[yes_im_kawaii]

You get different names? Did someone steal your name again?

[serrata]

N--no, not exactly. I just... some places, things are different enough that I end up with different names. Most of the time it's Yuuri, like I said, but... there's one where I'm calling myself Thorn. And one where I pick the name 'Clarita'.

[yes_im_kawaii]

[Makoto scratches behind her own ear.] Huh. Did you forget everything and pick new names or something? I almost picked a new name when I forgot stuff, but nothing was cute enough anyway.

[serrata]

No, not exactly. It's more... things were different enough that in that...

[ World? Time? History? She's not sure which is the right word. She shakes her head and tries again. ]

I didn't start off with a name, that time around.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Weird. I just didn't have a name 'cause of this whole amnesia thing, like off TV. J... [She shakes her head.] J? Someone who found me tried to give me new names. They all sucked. Or maybe nobody did. Auu, I wanna go back to being one me and not a bunch of me.

[serrata]

It's something to do with this place we're in... whatever it is. Do you remember anything about how we ended up here?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu? Not really. I was a bunch of people, and then I wasn't. I bet it was a giant head, though.

[serrata]

... a--a giant what?

[ ?!?! ]

[yes_im_kawaii]

Giant floating evil heads cause lots of problems! We fought one in the world I moved to, and Tsadi's enemy was one, too.
