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. ]

Hey, hey, it's okay. It's not like I'm a particularly secretive person, generally? I just don't like to upset people. I'm not mad.

[assent]

It... may have been too late for that, though I have since learned it is more important to focus on the now. Ah--but I brought this up just in case there were any videos that were concerning one of those secrets. It may be easier on you if you were to share it with someone who already knew, yes?

[dismemberthename]

[...huffs a soft laugh]

Really, you're so sweet...

[assent]

[ At that, she startles. ]

H-Huh...?

[dismemberthename]

Going out of your way to help me so much. It's sweet.

[assent]

After you sat by quietly and gave me time to watch my own videos, I think it is very little.

[dismemberthename]

I can think of arguments against that, but it's a pretty silly thing to argue over, I guess... Still, your support means a lot, even if it goes both ways.

[assent]

I... can agree with that, yes. It is a fair trade, that way.

[ Supporting each other, that is. And now she's collected??? The three of them?? As a cheerleader I guess. ]

[dismemberthename]

[friendship is good]

Exactly. I think I've come up with one to show you, also?

[assent]

[ Friendship is wonderful. ]

In that case, would you prefer to go first or shall I?

[dismemberthename]

Uhhh, guess I'll go first.

[pulls away enough to snag his tablet, flipping through the options while biting his lip, then... seeming to decide

he hits play, and the chinchillas were kind enough to dub thoughts and include the weird flashes and echoes of another time, another body.]

[assent]

[ It's a strange mix, given the fact that what she does know is limited. She looks thoughtful during the video, only grimacing a little at the coughing up?? string??? part of this. She just watched a lot worse though on her own tablet, so this is fine. In some places it has a bittersweet feeling to it. ]

This is your real body?

[ Her head cants a bit, but she only really looks curious more than anything else.

She is, surprisingly, unfazed by someone being hanged???? If that comes into it too anyway. ]

[dismemberthename]

[yeah there is definitely a flash of The Hanging]

Yep. Pretty similar, huh? Same hair and eyes.

[assent]

[ It's fine... her own videos had people being stabbed with bottles and pickaxes and diving out of windows. So. ]

Yes. It is quite uncanny.

[dismemberthename]

[dr3, man

the hanging went by fast enough that she may not have caught from that angle that the victim was very much, well, Sudoh's body, but.]

I'm pretty sure she's my ancestor or something.

[assent]

[ dr3 is something else.

and true but even so... it doesn't mean he was in it at the time so. ]

That would not sound so unusual given... what happened, would it?

[dismemberthename]

[no he just gets to have the memory of it. good times.]

Yeah, but... there are a few reasons I don't really get how it could be possible.

Ah well, no reason to overthink it.

[assent]

[ Great times :upside_down: ]

Given where we are... I have stopped questioning some things, if I am honest. Either way, in return I should share one of mine, should I not?

[dismemberthename]

[nods]

If you want to.

[assent]

I am all right with it.

[ She'll hold out her tablet for him now, hitting "play" on one of the videos that she watched before. It isn't a long video at all, all of hers are shorter snapshots of a bigger picture that she's still trying to put together but--

There is a speech of sorts, though the words are muffled. The shocking thing is that the crowd in front of her is not a normal crowd at all. They all have weird bear masks on their face, a girl to the side of Sonia keeps taking photographs as Sonia speaks to the crowd as well. Sudoh won't be able to make out much but the word "despair" comes up a couple of times.

This sure is. Something. ]
