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. ]

[motorcycle_noises]

That's a good reason.

[artisticliberty]

... shall I view a video of yours, now?

[motorcycle_noises]

....Yeah.

[ Tatsuya fiddles with his tablet for a few moments, until the video thumbnails are visible. ]

...I think... if you don't mind, there's two I would like to show you? One of them, I know the chinchillas won't count as "shared" because I already showed it to Sudoh. But you two, at least.... You two, I am okay with showing. The other video.... is something else.

[artisticliberty]

I don't mind. Whatever you wish to show me, I'll gladly accept.

[motorcycle_noises]

Alright, here's the one I haven't shown yet.

[ Tatsuya pulls up a video. It's not very long— 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. ]

[artisticliberty]

[watches it, and mostly he looks alarmed]

Is that... a cargo plane? Why would you do that?

[motorcycle_noises]

Actually... it was a zeppelin. And it was crashing. It was the only way everyone could escape without dying.

[artisticliberty]

You said "you can still return to a normal life"... what did you mean by that?

[motorcycle_noises]

....That was after the new world, the new timeline was made. Maya-nee didn't... remember anything that came before. No one did, except me. Nyarlathotep had risen again, was starting to try and destroy this new world. I was.... going to try to stop him on my own.

[artisticliberty]

[squeezes tatsuya's hand]

I see.

[motorcycle_noises]

I thought... it would be best if no one else got involved. But I should've known nothing would stop Maya-nee. She was always determined.

[artisticliberty]

That was her, at the end? She did seem determined.

[motorcycle_noises]

Yeah, that's her. She was one of my closest friends. Jun and I, when we were kids... we made a promise. We wanted to protect her.

[artisticliberty]

[and they all forgot, didn't they...]

Was Jun the one who gave you the lighter?

[motorcycle_noises]

....Yes. Both that time and before, when we were kids....

[artisticliberty]

You will see them all again someday. I am certain of it.

[motorcycle_noises]

It would be nice... if that could happen....

[artisticliberty]

[squeezes his hand again]

Was there something else you wished to show me?

[motorcycle_noises]

Yeah, the other one is.... you'll see.

[ He pulls up the video. Start at 17:37:23 on this video and watch until 17:45:33, then switch to this video and watch until 11:06. ]

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke watches, and his brow furrows the longer he does so, letting out a hiss when maya gets stabbed]

Unforgivable...

[and then just... looking so sad at the end of it, at tatsuya losing everything]

Kh...!

[motorcycle_noises]

I... would rather not have had a video like that at all. But since I do, if it's just you and Sudoh.... I thought it would be okay to show that.

[artisticliberty]

I promise you, Tatsuya... we will bring those so-called "gods" to justice, and we will get you home.

[squeezing tatsuya's hand very hard, his shoulders shaking a little]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya holds onto Yusuke's hand every bit as tightly, leaning against him. ]

When you say it like that, I want to believe it's possible.

[artisticliberty]

[he lifts tatsuya's hand clasped with his own to hold it against his chest]

Please follow your desires, then, and believe.
