[Game Opening, Part 1 - What Souls Here May Bring]
my hollow ebony stained wood plomps to the floor—
THUD
Eyes open, souls recollect.
The new me, erect.
I make my own decisions, have my own priorities,
have my own thoughts.
No external force taps into me—
Freedom.
- Jana Bielecki
Who: (Everyone OPEN LOG)
Where: (City Hall)
Summary: (You've just arrived in the city. Welcome.)
Warnings: (Intro logs are pretty warnable.)
Style: (The text is in prose, but feel free to write back in action tags if you feel more comfortable.)
They always say the first day on a new job is always the hardest.
But tell me...did those tasks include being taken from your own homeworld, dumped into a city you didn't recognize, meeting a man dressed in the purest of whites with a butterfly mask, to be bestowed the power of Persona, and then having some Men in Black lead you to the city hall saying you were expected?
...
...at least your things are apparently safe in your new apartments?
...
...looks like you might be here for a while.
What a way to start the first of September...
As they usher the last of you in, you realize that they've been preparing this for quite a while. There is a small table with food on the right, mixed cuisine (although the main theme seems to be Japanese dishes). Some strange computer program appears next to you and seems to be translating what you are saying so those before you understand. Language barriers? Don't be silly!
Most of the men ignore you after that. You are expected to mingle amongst yourselves a bit before the main 'show' starts, it seems....
no subject
"Bisected? What do you mean by that?"
no subject
Daichi had been right there when it happened.
no subject
He was standing right there... Kaito remembered it, there's no way that it could be a dream, right?!
no subject
"I think I would remember the details of my own death better than you, Shijima. I assure you, there was no exploding. I was in two intact parts, somewhat, not scattered across the landscape in pieces."
He frowned. "Do I have to jog your memory? I was challenged when you all decided to join Kuriki of all people, and an altercation between us occurred. I made a mistake of using up too much of the Dragon Stream, whereupon the Tsuutenkaku fell upon me. Is this sounding familiar?"
no subject
"Ronaldo...?" His face twisted in confusion. "No, I... even if Ronaldo's system would have helped people, it wouldn't have worked out in the long run. I don't think so, at least. That's the whole reason I tried to think of my own idea. But we ended up joining Kaito and Saiduq in the end-- we tried to get you and Ronaldo to join us, but you both refused."
no subject
There was a long pause where Yamato simply frowned at Daichi - before he let out a soft 'whuff' of laughter. "Oh, I see now. Hm, interesting..."
Could it be possible that they hailed from alternative versions of their own world? Yamato is open to such ideas, especially since he died and was brought here - but there was no other explanation. Shijima was not the brightest person about, however Yamato admitted that there was nothing wrong with his memory, nor is there any point in lying about what they did.
no subject
Man he hated when Yamato acted cryptic and weird, it always made him nervous. Well, more nervous than usual.
"You see what? What's so interesting?"
Because heeee's not understanding any of this at all. Why wasn't Yamato chiding him anymore?
no subject
He heaved a sigh. "...Shijima, we both come from alternative timelines."
no subject
Although the possibility of alternate timelines does have a bit of a sobering effect. "Uh... really? Is that even possible?"
Then again, he really didn't know who Saiduq was apparently, but he Yamato had been the one to tell them that he was a Septentrione.... best, not to bring it up for now. They could cross that bridge later!
QUANTUM PHYSICS BLARGH
Uh oh, he's beginning to gear up into lecture mode, Daichi. Better stop him...!
"In case you aren't aware of the theory, it is this simply: The Many-Worlds Theory views reality as a many-branched tree, wherein every possible quantum outcome is realised. It claims to reconcile the observation of non-deterministic events, such as the random radioactive decay, with the fully deterministic equations of quantum physics. As Many-Worlds Theory denies the actuality of wavefunction collapse, however, its subjective appearance is explained by the mechanism of quantum decoherence, which resolves all of the correlation paradoxes of quantum theory, such as, hrm, the EPR paradox and Schrödinger's cat, since every possible outcome of every event defines or exists in its own "history" or "world"."
Yamato paused, frowning briefly, before deciding that perhaps he should break it down into 'layman's terms', as Kanno would say, "To say it in a way that's easier to digest; there are infinite number of universes where everything that could possibly have happened in our past, but did not, has occurred in the past of some other universe or universes. Therefore, the universe where you joined Saiduq, and a universe where you joined Kuriki, can both exist simultaneously, having branched from the same universe where the Invasion occurred."
A stare. "Do you understand? Admittedly I oversimplified it, so some of the important details were lost, so if you wish for a more in depth explanation..."
YOU'RE NOT HIS SENSEI!!!!
Daichi was too late to interrupt him though, as Yamato was already talking, and if he learned anything at JP's, it was to not make the professionals stop their convoluted explanations 'cause otherwise they'll just be more cross with you.
He had
no idea what Yamato just said though.
"Uh.. N-Nah, that's OK! I think I got it!" Complete with nervous chuckle and all. It was a complete and total lie, but he knew it would just get more confusing if Yamato kept explaining. He'd uh...he'd figure it out later. Or ask Kaito.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE DAICHI. HOW DARE YOU NOT UNDERSTAND.
Okay, now his smirk was turning into a rather predatory grin. Nope, he's found you out, Daichi.
"If you understand it, what is the mechanism utilised to resolve all paradoxes within the Many-World Theory? You should easily answer this if you were paying attention, Shijima."
HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE SMART ONE!!
Well if it wasn't obvious that Daichi didn't get it then, that stupid verbal hiccup made it pretty clear that he didn't now. But he was hoping that he could still magically salvage this. Maybe.
"Uh... the... deco-whatever?" Whatever that thing was that Yamato had just said yes that thing.
BY GOD YAMATO WILL MAKE HIM THE SMART ONE!!
There is a long pause where Yamato appeared to be thinking something over. After a moment he nodded, his expression partly amused and partly disgruntled.
He had only just said the word not one minute ago. You can't even remember it fully...no matter. There is room for improvement.
"Quantum Decoherence. Do you know what that term means?" Most likely not.
HE CAN'T HANDLE THIS
He chuckled awkwardly at his own joke though it...was pretty obvious that he probably didn't find it that funny and was just hoping for the first chance to get out of the conversation.
Or hey, maybe he was even right! He knew what 'coherent' meant at least!
oh god quantum mechanics why
Yamato paused here, slowly mulling the topic over in an attempt to try and dumb it down. It was quite easy to understand once you understood the terms, however he had a feeling that Daichi simply wasn't understanding it at all. Hrm.
"I will make it easy for you, returning to our earlier topic of alternative worlds." He held up his hands, making a cupping motion as if holding a ball, "Imagine that within Time, all possible events and scenarios that can and would happen, have happened, all simultaneously."
Yamato moved his hands away, tracing two imaginary lines moving away from each other with his fingers, "However, with Quantum Decoherence, humans can only interpret only one string of events occurring - a timeline, if you will, therefore allowing multiple timelines to exist from one singular source."
Yamato dropped his hands. "I 'interpreted' Time differently to you," he frowned. It wasn't entirely correct, but it was the best thing he could come up with in such short notice and with such simple language. Hrm, he would have to force Shijima to read up on the subject so he could discuss it better with him. "Therefore my timeline occurred differently to yours. Understand?"
oh god yamato why
"Oh-- so they happened at the same time, but neither of us know were able observe what happened in each other's timeline?" That was...basically what he said, right? And there were a whole bunch of other possibilities and timelines, and...
Augh, this was...hard...... "All because Kaito made a different decision..?"
HE CAN'T BE TAMED
"That is correct," Yamato said, giving Daichi a nod. "Very good, Shijima."
ONLY BE THE TAMER
"Yeesh, I don't know how you can remember stuff like that. I don't even know how someone could think of ideas like that!"
no subject
Yamato frowned briefly, as if in thought. "I suppose I should remedy that."
no subject
Frikkin', JP's director at Age 17 what even wait what did he say.
"--Huh? Remedy what?"
no subject
He smirked. "So perhaps I should fix what damage has been done to your learnings, to make use of such education."
no subject
Oh god he does not like that look on Yamato's face suddenly he is even more on edge than he was before and that's kind of saying something since it's Daichi.
"You're not sending me back to school, are you?!" Could he even do that...
no subject
Yes, he said that with a straight face.
no subject
Oh god, he was serious wasn't he.
"Seriously...?! Why?! I mean, don't you have more important stuff to do?"
Seeing as Yamato didn't really want to give him the time of day back at JP's Headquarters....
