I - 11/17: early morning, torii dimension (locked to Sasuke)

[ Terry had been a zombie for several days, and in complete stasis, despite the numerous wounds he was bleeding from that have never healed. It doesn't look like he's been bleeding while here though and he finally opens his eyes for the first time in days. ]

Where am I...?


II - 11/17: afternoon to evening, town

[ Terry lost all his memories. Good thing he and Orien met up. Maybe Sasuke also relayed the basics to him too. Either way, Orien got him a fresh set of clothes after Terry cleaned himself in the bathhouse. He's no longer a bloody mess. Orien is being a good tour guide and telling Terry where everything is, what he did, etc. Orien is treating this like Terry has been leading a normal life here. Don't fuck it up. He has glasses on too, since Orien brought that over as well. ]


III - 11/18: morning, torii (locked to Sasuke)

[ Terry regains all his memories. Everything. It takes so much not to lash out and he's started to feel desperate after experiencing the events on the 17th. He hides in the forest and revisits the torii. Please let him in. ]


IV - 11/19: lockdown, fear floor (limited to 2 people)

[ It's a ruined city. If you've seen Terry's memory floor previously, you'll see that it's the same city as before. However, there is no ongoing destruction. Everything has already happened. You'll see three people: Terrence, who stands at a distance from the other two, Terry who seems shell-shocked by something, and... another Terry? It's Shadow Terry, making a reappearance, grabbing a hold of Terry's collar and yelling at him.

It's a mess already. There's a reason this is the fear floor. ]


V - 11/23-25: black cat house, around town

[ A) Black cat house: There is a big, fluffy samoyed dog in the crane room that's looking down at the 30+ cats and petting them with his paw.

B) Around town: And now there's a big fluffy samoyed dog prancing around town that's petting cats again. Some cats have mixed responses to the petting. If he sees you, he'll give a short howl before staring at you. His omamori is completely hidden in his poofy fur, but if you dig through his fur, you'll see a glimpse or the usual red-brown that peeks through all the white. It's like a collar with a name tag... without the name. ]


VI - 11/28-29: around... town

[ Terry woke up inside Toki's body and he is having such a bad time. You can most likely find him lying down on the ground somewhere in town for one of many reasons. ]

[overstrain]

You will? I thought you didn't like me.

[ With how much she was talking about wanting to punch him and stuff.

The cafe is open! And Natsuki, the coworker with the amazing makeup skills, greets them at the entrance.

"Araaaa couples shouldn't be coming to a maid cafe of all places! I heard you two snuck into the break room to make out and leave." ]

[reveilation]

I'm mad at you, but it's not like I don't—

[ SHE IMMEDIATELY WANTS TO LEAVE THE CAFE god

Terry's hand gets crushed in a death grip because of how she's holding his hand, feeling her face go red and shaking her head vehemently as if to shake the color off her face. ]

You heard wrong! We didn't do anything like that, and, anyways, Terrence is here to help out since you're short on maids. I'm just a customer. I'm requesting him specifically, and he's going to buy me cake.

[overstrain]

[ "If you wanted to roleplay, you can do that at home... and he already took a paid leave! It's not like he can just suddenly come back to serve one customer and leave again! Do your roleplaying at home!"

Meanwhile, Terry has no idea what's going on, so he just stands there, wincing in pain because his hand hurts. ]

[reveilation]

[ Kido turns to Terry and gives him a look like "Why are you on leave?" but none of that translates. This cafe is bad news. She goes back to hating this place. ]

Fine. Come on, Terrence, we're going to find a clothing store. And then we're buying cake somewhere else.

[ She is dead set on roleplaying this. It's such a Terry thing, nobody else does this but him, he's got to remember by the end of it. ]

[overstrain]

[ Orien had to put Terry on paid leave because he was missing... Terry finds this to be such a weird situation that he still doesn't know what to say except-- ]

My hand... hurts...

[reveilation]

Oh.

[ Kido lets go of his hand completely, and takes his wrist instead. There is no sorry...

She's too busy trying to remember which store it was that they went to before, to buy hoodies and play dress up and there must be something resembling a maid outfit in there. A poofy black dress with a white apron. She can find the pieces to make it work. ]

Alright, we'll go here. I think I sort of know your sizes, so just wait inside the dressing room with Orien and I'll toss things over.

[overstrain]

[ Terry stands for several seconds before going off to find the dressing room and sits. ]

Orien... why did I wear a dress?

[ "Because you were a hardworking family man." ]

I had a family?

[ "Yes, it was a nice little family."

... It was. The past tense doesn't slip by Terry's notice. His face falls.

"What do you think of Kido?" ]

She's... really determined. It's kinda amazing. She really wants me to remember. Maybe it's to help her find closure, but I can sense there's a lot of motivation within her.

... But I can't help but feel unwanted somehow.

[reveilation]

[ She has to find bits and pieces of the outfit to throw together, a two piece dress and apron, long knee socks and heels. It's been too long and she never goes clothes shopping with Terry, so she has to guess his sizes based off what she remembers— where his hand hangs when she always reached for it, how high his shoulder is when she leaned against it, how she catches the side of his face whenever she turns to look at him.

These turn out to be very unreliable measurements, so in the end, she just finds her size and goes the next size up, two sizes for shoes because he's taller and also a boy so that's probably +2 sizes, maybe. Everything gets tossed over the door when she's done. ]

If something doesn't fit, let me know and I'll grab a different size.

[overstrain]

[ Terry looks at the clothes hung over the door and sighs. It's time... he starts changing and surprisingly, he knows how to wear them properly to look like a maid outfit.

...

He tosses the knee socks over. ]

I'd be stretching these if I wore them...

[reveilation]

Socks are meant to be stretched to fit, unlike skinny jeans.

[ But she takes them back and looks around for something else. Something like socks or pants but guys don't really have something like women's leggings...

...

Five minutes over, Kido tosses over a pair of men's swimwear, aka solid black spandex that goes all the way down to the ankles. This would work. ]

[overstrain]

[ He wants to say that his legs don't fit!!! He'd look weird in them! He feels so self conscious when he didn't before and it makes him feel strange.

Terry doesn't take the spandex. ]

[reveilation]

Did you want a different color? Spandex is meant to stretch. You won't ruin the material.

[ So what's the problem? Who cares that Terry will look absolutely ridiculous. ]

[overstrain]

I know that much...

[ He sighs, takes it, and wears those too. Terry looks at himself in the mirror. He doesn't look good at all. ]

... I'm never coming out.

[reveilation]

[ Terry's appearance really doesn't matter to Kido, but at least somebody's clearly having fun. ]

The store will close in a couple of hours, so you're going to have to. I just want to see how you look, and then you can take everything off.

[overstrain]

No! You'll have to break the door if you ever want to see me like this!

[ And here Orien is just thinking, "you can just change your clothes back to yours and leave", but. Yeah. Let Kido have her fun. She deserves it. ]

[reveilation]

[ ...Kido activates her eye ability so nobody's going to pay attention to their little corner of the store, and then attempts to kick down the door. Scream all you want, Terrence Nowell, nobody will hear you. ]

[overstrain]

[ Terry lets out a startled yell, but the lock on the door miraculously holds. ]

Stop that! Don't actually break the door?!

[reveilation]

The door's fate isn't up to me.

[ Whether or not the door lives depends on if Terry's going to come out. He's fighting pretty hard to resist, though, so Kido doesn't try to kick the door again, knocking her knuckles on it instead. ]

Are you embarrassed? I can come inside instead and nobody else will see. Open the door.

[overstrain]

[ The moment she says that, Terry opens the door, pulls Kido in, locks the door again and then puts his face into his hands. He doesn't want to say anything, because yeah, he's embarrassed. ]

[reveilation]

[ She's surprised to be pulled in just like that, but not as surprised as seeing Terry's getup, even if she's the one who chose everything.

...haha

Kido steps back as far as she can against the wall and snaps a picture with her phone. It doesn't matter if Terry's covering his face, because it's obvious who he is even while doing that. ]

Are you remembering anything yet?

[overstrain]

No!! Give me that phone!

[ He's gonna attempt to yank it out of her hand. Orien sealed all his offensive abilities, so Kido is free to bully him while being backed up by Bongogami's stats. ]

[reveilation]

[ Nice. Thanks, Orien.

The phone gets slipped into her back pants pocket and hem of her hoodie pulled down over it, while she tries to fend off his other hand. She looks like she wants to laugh, but it's also a complicated expression, and she holds onto Terry's wrists to keep him from grabbing the phone. ]

I always meant to give it back to you. You're the one who gave me this phone over four months ago, and I meant to give it back to you today.

[ The plan was to punch him, give back everything of his that she still has, and then walk away, but the plan fell apart and now she can't do any of that. ]

There are a lot of memories on this phone. Do you want to see?

[overstrain]

[ Orien wanted to think that if Terry could live a normal life apart from the memory loss, that would have been fine. That's why he sealed his offensive abilities. Can't do anything about needing to drink blood or not dying when he should though.

Terry stops struggling--even when brought down to normal power levels, he should still be relatively strong, so he's surprised when Kido fends him off so easily. He also realizes that this looks questionable while Kido is standing against the wall and he's being like this, so he backs off. ]

... Is it more embarrassing things?

[reveilation]

[ Those are some glaringly abnormal things amongst all the potential normal.

Kido seems satisfied when Terry stops, and she moves to sit down on the bench, pushing Terry's old clothes aside so that it's trapped between her and the wall. Now he can't escape unless he wants to walk out in a dress. ]

Hm... Some of them are, yeah. You did a lot of embarrassing things I thought was funny, or that I got mad over.

[ She pats the seat next to her. It doesn't matter if it's embarrassing, right? Sit. ]

[overstrain]

[ Terry is curious though, so he ends up sitting next to Kido. ]

Why did I give you the phone if it had so many memories on it though?
