Trash Squad Day 11 - SECRETS

[chinhotta]

Are you ready for it?! It's the long awaited final event! This is your last chance to get close before your final dates and the final bonus event!

And, back by popular demand, it's the motive vi—wait, no, not that. Well, I guess you're motivated to build your relationships? That's better anyway.

...Anyway! Check your tablets! You will find you have a few interesting video files! They should be familiar to you! The catch is... if you don't share each one with a different person by nighttime today, they will all be shown to everyone here! We'll have a fun midnight viewing party!

This may seem a bit cruel, but... love is cruel sometimes. Take it as an opportunity to get a bit closer to the people you care about, or everyone will learn a bit more about you! It's win-win when you think about it that way!

[ On your tablets are a minimum of 3 video files! There is no maximum; it's however many you OOCly want to deal with. Each video contains some sort of secret your character has—'secret' loosely defined as anything they would be uncomfortable being thrown up on a big screen in the auditorium in front of everyone. The presentation can be as simple as lines of text with embarrassing facts (Alice wet the bed until she was in junior high!) or as involved as a dramatically edited montage of the murders they committed through their whole life. Your choice!

Each file should be shown to a different person to count as 'shared'. If there is anything they do not manage to, or choose not to, share with someone in particular, comment with a brief description of it over here. These will all be shared publicly in a post which goes up on Thursday before the date announcement post. ]

S-Sonia...

[her face is shocked as well, as it's clear her own videos have played tremendously on her anxieties.]

[assent]

[ Sadly she's so out of it voice alone isn't going to pull her from this, her mind is too busy whirling up possibilities rather than... anything else, really. ]

[slice_of_life]

Sonia...?

[she's too timid to reach out and shake her but she sort of... hovers in her vicinity.]

[assent]

[ In which case she's going to be waiting a short while for her to come back around. At least twenty minutes of her staring into space before her vision starts to come back and she stops drowning in herself instead. She looks confused when she sees Yuri there, too. ]

...Yuri?

[slice_of_life]

Ah...

[twenty minutes of awkwardly standing there waiting, yep]

...Hi.

[assent]

[ Sorry, Yuri... this is what happens when you hover and don't reach out okay. ]

My apologies... I did not notice you there. Would you like to take a seat?

[slice_of_life]

[She's used to it.]

If... if you like.

[She'll sit with Sonia. Or across from Sonia.]

[assent]

[ With is fine, Sonia will even shuffle over to make room. ]

I... have not looked at mine yet... Have you?

[slice_of_life]

...Yes.

[a pained look]

They're... gross... invasions of privacy.

[assent]

I see. Admittedly, my tablet contains memories I do not remember alongside others so it is not the same. [ She pauses. ] I did not find out until recently that there was a chance my memories were wiped, however... the thumbnails of the videos seem to prove it is the case.

[slice_of_life]

...What?

[blinks, confused] You mean... you forgot... or something intentionally erased the memory?

...Or is it just a false video altogether?

[assent]

Years of memories that were intentionally removed, apparently.

[ She pauses. ] Though there is also a possibility it all is fake after all, of course.

[ Shuichi had warned her it could be either because... he didn't really know for sure either. ]

[slice_of_life]

...Entire years?

Sonia... how old are you?

[assent]

17. [ She pauses. ] Or at least that is what I remember as being the truth.

[ Her body looks as it did when she was 17???? ]

[slice_of_life]

[nods] Then the videos... are of you when you were younger...?

[assent]

You would think so, however... given what I know about how my memories were removed that does not sound feasible either. I have... not had the chance to speak to my classmate about it yet, so it may be something they are able to answer.

[slice_of_life]

I... wish I could help...

...Um... I don't want to keep you, but... maybe you could help me...?

[assent]

You are not keeping me at all. The truth is that... I have known the possibility was there for almost 2 days now, so... Please, go ahead. Would you like me to watch something for you?

[slice_of_life]

It almost sounds like magic... or maybe a drug...? I mean, there's nothing that normally erases memories, is there? Other than... brain damage... um... not that I think you're brain damaged, but...

[p-a-u-s-e...]

Ahaha... Yes, please. I think... you may be the only one who could understand.

[she passes over her tablet with a movie ready to watch]

[assent]

All I know is what Saihara-san told me at the moment. "Rehabilitation" is the word he used for it, so... I could not say.

[ She takes the tablet though, giving Yuri a reassuring smile. ] Of course. Whenever you are ready, I shall begin the video. ...Are you...?

[slice_of_life]

... [she just looks away]

[Video!

Yuri stands in front of her knife collection: a wall full of knives mounted on it, in various styles, types, and sizes. They all look very sharp. They're mounted securely, though. Most look very ornate, like they're for ceremonial use than practical or utilitarian. Yuri spends time dusting them, polishing them, and generally fawning over them. Indeed, a lot of time is spent holding them and staring at them with an engrossed look on her face.]

[assent]

[ Taking that as a yes, she hits play.

It's a strange video, though she can't say she's surprised either given what she knows of her. Sonia doesn't have it with knives, but she's had a lot of practice handling guns, explosives and the like and you can feel a rush of power holding one (as that's what she assumes that is) ]

If I am honest, I fail to see anything wrong with it. Though I am aware many people here are upset by weaponry in general. [ She sighs. ] Whenever I tell someone that my country teaches elementary schoolers how to operate a tank they are often upset by it.

1/2

[slice_of_life]

Oh, thank goodness... [gives a sigh of relief]

Yes, it's just a... collection. That's all. I just like knives...

[slice_of_life]

--Wait, tanks?

[assent]

You do have a rather ornate collection. Did you buy some of them from antique stores?

[ Though ah. ]

Yes, tanks. Alongside that I am also aware of how to use firearms and explosives given that the royal family control the military, my lessons on warfare were also complete.
