ROLE: Playtime Kitten 🙀

PLAYTIME KITTEN

Today, regardless of wherever Nogiku is, they will soon receive a text message from Riff.

hey. can u come through the arch? i have something for u

They don't really have time to question what arch Riff means as the ground begins to rumble and a steel, blue archway erects before them.

As Nogiku enters through the archway they'll find themselves in what appears to be a small park. Small, grassy slopes seem to stretch endlessly and a few unidentifiable buildings can be scene in the distance. Sitting on a bench under a tree is Riff with their phone in their hand. Without looking up, they send another message.

playtime kitten...ok then

RULES
1. make a choice from the list i give u
2. decide who is receiving what u pick
3. it cant be the same person each week sry
4. cant tell anyone either

After reading the rules, they will find that an image becomes the home screen of their phone and feel something...sticky...appear on their tongue as a temporary tattoo of the same image appears.

Once the brand settles in, Riff looks up from their phone, patiently waiting before there's an awkward shrug and another message.

ill try to help i guess

[the bubble pops, and riff stares out across the park.]

...it's complicated, even if I don't remember a lot of it.

[which is to say they are not thrilled.]

[pura]

...

So, that's the kind of stuff you started remembering.

[Yikes.]

[saturations]

...yeah. Not much else, but...stuff like that. Even if it doesn't make a lot of sense.

[pura]

... I see. I'm sorry. You start remembering things, and it turns out the apocalypse almost happened.

And more importantly...

[She trails off, like. Hm. Riff, your friends???]

[saturations]

...I'm pretty sure it happened twice. I just couldn't change anything after the second try.

[so yeah! great! cool!]

[pura]

...

When we figure things out for ourselves, maybe there will be something we can do for you, too.

[Please save Riff!! The fuck.]

[saturations]

[they sort of shake their head.]

Things are...better here. I want to stay here.

[more importantly, they want to stay here with their friends and other people they've come to like.]

[pura]

... You don't have to go back if you don't want to. But is that really fine? Your world, and even your old friends. Are you okay leaving them like that?

[saturations]

You mean the world where my old friends are already gone? What would I be leaving behind, Nogiku? There's nothing left.

[pura]

Leaving them like that, Riff-san. Erased. Non-existent. Even if you decide to never go back again, and abandon that world... Is there really nothing to be done for your friends?

[saturations]

No. There's nothing that can be changed, because I don't have a way of going back again. It's gone. It's over.

[... She has a feeling this conversation will go in circles at this rate, so. After a moment, she just sighs.]

Then, we'll see what the future has in store for us.
