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

Comments

Hm... I wonder if you've met them before. And even though you don't remember, some part of you still recognizes them.

[Is this amnesiac PTSD?]

By the way, did you happen to see the note that was pinned to the meeting hall door?

[rindude]

Maybe? It's...hard to say. I can't tell what my memories of before and my memories of after are sometimes.

Which, the one that was posted on Saturday or...? Was there another note I missed.

[pura]

Before that, on Friday. There was a weird note on the meeting hall door... Something about an "Ass Kass."

[rindude]

Ass...Kass. I don't think I really paid attention to it. We're always really busy first thing on Saturday. What was it? Or do you not know beyond the ass?

[pura]

I think I took a photo... Hold on.

[the dead: don't talk to the residents about them
nogiku: what if i show them a picture of your spooky note anyway]

[rindude]

[ftlog. anyway while he's waiting for this photo:]

Okay, so wait what about it exactly? Are you asking because it's creepy or because you're thinking of something else?

[pura]

Both. It was stained with gray and purple, and mentioned something about the dead... It sounded like some of them, too.

[rindude]

[bad.]

Okay. So...let's say it is a sign from the dead somehow. What happens then? What do we do?

[pura]

I don't know...

But I've been wondering. Why is it that the executed don't leave a body behind, and where do the victims' bodies go?

[rindude]

...[good point.]

I don't know. Who's moving the bodies into the meeting hall before trials? For all we know it's the Prism moving stuff around when no one's looking.

[pura]

Even if it's the Prism, where do they go? Are they just... consumed by this world?

[rindude]

...Nogiku, why do you think I know? [he's not even upset about it, he's just curious.] I'm not totally sure, but I think they're just...removed from this part.

[pura]

I don't expect you to know. I'm just... thinking out loud. This is your home, so haven't you wandered about these things too?

[rindude]

...to be honest, I try not to. It doesn't...[hm.] I don't know. It feels weird to think about it too much or question more than I should right now until we know a little more.

[pura]

... I see. Then, in that case, I'll bring the information we find back to you. You weren't invited to our meeting last week, right?

[rindude]

Nah. I think sometimes you guys forget we don't know things because of the first time Percy accidentally linked all of us into that big group text. But I'd appreciate it.
