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. ]

I see. [ Well, the compliments were there but now it's. Her turn, probably. In a moment, anyway. She slides up on her tablet, stopping at a certain point. This, at least, she remembers. The thumbnail is of her sitting on the floor in a room and she definitely looks younger. ]

I realise I have not said nearly enough to some people, but yes. My life has not been quite as peaceful as you may expect.

[ She holds her tablet up, waiting for Yuri. ] I apologise in advance if this is a little difficult to watch.

[slice_of_life]

I... I won't judge, Sonia. Not after... that.

[she was a little anxious now, but she' couldn't turn it down.]

[she takes the tablet]

[assent]

Thank you. [ Her voice is soft as she taps the play button for her, though she isn't actually going to watch it with her. She doesn't need to when she's more than aware of what it is that's happening.

The video starts with Sonia in the middle of the room, but she looks a few years younger than she is now. It's a small room, unkept and dirty. There's a towel on the floor for her, but that's probably one of the few comforts. Her hands are bound together with rope, and at this point her eyes are covered with some kind of fabric. Someone probably has a gun pointed at her too.

Yuri will hear people talking in the background, men on the phone talking about what demands they're planning to ask for in a video of some sorts. Despite all of this going on, however, Sonia sits unmoving the entire time. Her lips are curled into the faintest of a smile, her body still straight.

Even when one of the men pulls the blindfold off and starts to talk to her, telling her what to say there's... no backlash whatsoever. She's completely submissive.

The video starts and she follows the instructions, smiling as she delivers the message to her parents about what political cause they want changing. What kind of power they want people to have.

If Yuri pays close enough attention she'll probably realise that Sonia has withdrawn into herself during the ordeal and is merely acting on instinct for survival -- and because it's expected of her as Princess. Even with a gun to her head. ]

[Oh my god, this wasn't a memory, this was a bad dream.]

S-Sonia... you were... kidnapped by terrorists!?

[assent]

[ And this is why Isuke pissed her off just as much tbh. ]

Twice, on different occasions, yes.

[slice_of_life]

That... this isn't false, then?

[assent]

No, it is not. [ She glances at Yuri. ] I remember both occasions, after all.

[slice_of_life]

I'm so sorry...

You... you were very brave...

[assent]

I did what I had to do for the sake of my country. [ She gives Yuri a smile, but it's bittersweet. Simply because of what those forgotten memories probably contain. ]

[slice_of_life]

I... I can't imagine... how that must have felt...

There's... there's a happy ending, though, right...?

[obviously, if she's standing there.]

[assent]

From that moment, yes. I was rescued and the insurgents were punished sufficiently.

[ Probably tortured/executed with how hardcore Novoselic is tbh. ]

...Though I would not say I had a happy ending, given what I have learned recently.

[slice_of_life]

That's a relief.

...Um, what you learned...? Is it...

[She wondered if it was okay to ask, now.]

[assent]

Something that is possibly untrue until I have clarified with my classmate. However, as I have said... some of these pictures are not things I recall at all which leads me to believe they are true.

[ She pauses. ]

Which means that at some point that I do not remember, I may have been worse than those men you just saw now.

[slice_of_life]

...Worse?

Uu... I can't imagine... you kidnapping someone like that...

[assent]

...I could not say for certain without watching the evidence, nor can I bring myself to let you watch it either. My apologies.

[slice_of_life]

...I understand.

There's... um.. worse things I could show you too... that I'd... rather not.

[she hands the tablet back]

[assent]

[ Is it killing millions of people and taking pleasure in it, Yuri? That sure is something she's going to have to deal with later. rip. ]

I understand. This task is... rather difficult, is it not?

[slice_of_life]

[NO, but it would be highly personal and more revealing of her psychological state than she'd ever like]

...A lot worse than truth or dare.

[assent]

[ FAIR... This event is a cruel one, for sure. ]

Truth or dare turned out to be quite fun, actually. This is... quite different.
