Special meeting #1

[shslliar]

Who: Kokichi and his gang (Mikan, Wendy, and Turing)
Where: 3rd floor, tea room
When: Aug. 8
Rating: PG 13
Summary: Calling a meeting to discuss this AU thing.
The Story:

What. The hell. Was that.

Kokichi spent the better part of Tuesday staring at the ceiling in shock. He was still trying to process being turned into a bird of all things and having his life completely altered. Or his memories. And that wasn't the first time it happened. The party was almost the same, except less birds and more frilly outfits and masks.

If Wonderland could do that, then what did that mean for...?

On Wendsday, after everyone had time to recover from the mess, Kokichi sends out a text message to the members of his gang:

Sorry for the interruption, but I'm calling an emergency meeting in the tea room on the fourth floor.

Meeting's in 3 hours. Don't forget the uniforms, you need to remain anonymous for this.

Oh, and delete this message when we're done, ok?

The uniforms in question (which he gave everyone when they joined) look similar to these except black instead of white, and with animal masks instead of clowns. Everyone got to put their own spin on it, but he's expecting them to be worn when they come into the meeting room. As with their normal meetings, there's a sheet tossed over the mirror in spite of the mirrors not having access to the tea rooms anymore and a white board that has been wheeled into the room.

Kokichi himself will be standing near this whiteboard as everyone hopefully arrives. He seems to have paired an edgy disguise and wig with a plague doctor mask in an effort to be less recognizable to outsiders. Why all the security? Who knows, he's probably just paranoid. Either way, he'll be the one to start when everyone is present. And they better not be late...

Mikan's a little grateful to be there, mostly because she needs as many distractions as possible. "... Is, um, is everything okay...?"

[like247]

It's perhaps the first time outside of an event that Wendy is seen out of jeans and flannel. Sure the black pants are denim, and her scarf is black and white plaid, but even her hair is braided into twin pigtails down her back unlike the normal down hair.

Bunny mask in place, she pauses at that question as she kicks back, her feet on the table. "Define okay. That's twice now, and it's fun, sure, but..." But not being her is nerve wracking.

“If we don’t count the previous two events, then the last time an event that happened where everyone’s memories are completely changed occurred about a year ago,” Turing interjects, trying to resist the urge to pull down their hood. “At…least it wasn’t zombies this time?”

It was odd in the first place to wear a uniform that completely concealed the fact that they are actually a robot - being that their change of clothes consist of a long hooded jacket, white slacks and black gloves. Not to mention the tiger mask they slipped on - they felt a bit silly and they’re starting to get more of a feeling that Kokichi just convinced them all to start a cult.

“In any case, what did you call us for?”

[shslliar]

Good, everyone's in. Kokichi cleared his throat as everyone settled in.

"Good question, Turing-chan." He began to pace back and forth as he explained. "It's about what Coudory-chan just mentioned... The last two events. Zombies are scary and all, but if Wonderland is going to start making us think we were other people... That might be more of a threat."

He sounds more like he's briefing everyone on some top secret mission.

"You've been here the longest, right Tsumiki-chan? I need to know if this literal life change thing has happened before. And that first event... I get the feeling that some of the residents were tossed in with their memories in tact." Mostly because of Sunburst failing to eat like a human. "Can anyone confirm this?"

[naughty_nurse]

Oh, was that all? Mikan blinked, rather surprised. She'd been here for several years now, and while the bird-school was a pretty extreme change, it wasn't something that was entirely unheard of.

"Well... yeah, it's happened plenty of times." A helpless shrug. "Sometimes people come through it remembering reality, but not always. There's usually a long space between events like that... but is it really that scary?"

[like247]

"Waking up one day and realizing that you were totally being someone else and didn't remember who you were? For me? Yeah. More than zombies and all," Wendy admits, making a sound.

"I can kill zombies. What if they decide one day to leave us like that and suddenly we're never who we are anymore?"

Which is Wendy revealing her true fear in what happens in Wonderland.

[romsapience]

“The times that I’ve experienced events like those have been very jarring afterwards. It makes you wonder: what is real? What isn’t real?” Turing muses, staring down at the floor.

“There…is merit to that fear, however. Remember, as each event passes, supposedly, the memory that is taken from that person also loses a word as well. I am unsure if the word has any merit to it or if it is completely random. But…if I were to remember correctly, it’s just one word at a time?”

By instinct, a question mark flashes on the front of their system, not like any of that is shown behind that mask of theirs. They just…shrug instead to get their point across.

"In any case, I am...unsure if this is a cause for concern. The events where everything is altered, that is. They seem to follow through the same way that other events do, in that they do not last longer than a few days. Still..." Turing trails off, looking back up at the group. "What can we possibly do if we're in a situation where we cannot remember our true selves for a period longer than usual?"

[shslliar]

"Huh... Thanks for the insight, guys, really makes it easier on everyone who didn't cause the event... But Corduroy-chan and Turing-Chan did bring up a good point."

At least he seems to be... Slightly more at ease? Hm.

"It would be a lot easier to keep some kinda note on your person if the events didn't alter reality itself."
