  Fourth Wall Meme

It's the return of the Fourth Wall Meme, and we're opening it for the next full week! paradisa does not allow non-members to post or comment in our main community, so we're offering this as a place to roleplay with our cast. Both character journals and personal journals are welcome, as well as doubles, original characters, AUs, whatever. Not all can be applied to the main game, but they're certainly welcome here.

Premise:
You wake up in a giant, magical castle. Everything is beautiful and the castle grants material wishes. It also provides a magic journal to every resident that allows everyone to communicate with each other like a two-way radio.
 

Format:
[Actions] Dialogue.

IE:
[Mickey Mouse enters the room, and sits down at the kitchen table.]

Gosh, guys, is this place ever swell!

What are you gonna do?

[ He shook his head, flummoxed. ]

No, I don't— That doesn't make sense. Carolina, you died in my arms. Those AIs were too much for you. You...you...

[ It's too hard to tell her, to remind her of the way she broke down at the end, but it is a reminder of why he was so surprised to see her in the first place. He reaches to set his hand on her wrist, though the contact won't mean much since he can't feel her skin. ]

Carolina, nothing would make me happier to think you survived your suicide. But if that's true, they never told me.

belated trigger warning to anyone reading

[Carolina continues to frown at him, doing what she can to gently tug her wrist from his grip. His revelation still hasn't made it any easier to handle being touched by him.

But suicide. She had... if she was honest, she had been quietly thinking about it since the Tokyo World Change, but every time, she had reminded her that it was quitting. She couldn't take herself out of the game, no matter how painful everything became, how stifling the apathy became.]

I never-- [It's hard to even try to communicate to him that that never happened it must have been a dream of some kind.] You must have had a nightmare.

[She takes another breath.] Texas knocked me out during the sparring match. When I woke up, you were gone. You two had defected.

whoops I never think of these things :c

[ He's starting to think something is going on here, something beyond the words they're saying, the divergence in their memories. ]

Okay, this really does sound like sci-fi bullshit, but I think we might be from different timelines or something. Because I don't remember you and Tex getting into a match. Things were too... [ Another head shake. ] You never sparred with anyone when you had those AIs.

It's okay! <33

[Carolina shakes her head at him. No, as much as things were... jumbled following her implantation, she knew that she had tried to fight Texas. Right before her father shouted her mother's name with so much agony that it had resonated with her own AIs.]

I tried. I fought her later when I still had them. [Right before being strangled and thrown off a cliff, that is.]

[ All right, well, she's so insistent he's going to take her at her word. ]

Carolina, how— I mean, I don't know how you managed it. The woman I saw in you was so broken down... And you never told me anything about it. Why?
