anyway, Phoenix...

I feel like I should ping victorisham and aviy because I realize if you guys WANT to handwave anyone on bad end re-writing phoenix's memory of rewriting aries's memories we should figure that out because otherwise he'll want to go fix it real fast

but I'm sure someone on bad end would oblige you to overriding phoenix's memories

anyway so sotu real quick for myself

between a bunch of people phoenix is like "I guess I might be full of demons" but as he literally feels like everything he wants is what he personally wants and also has no morals it's being real trippy for him

he doesn't feel bad, for example, about beating up fox or rewriting memories

he does feel bad for upsetting Crow and Yasuragi!

i mean... 99 might oblige the overwriting memories depending...

he took Doodle's "don't use violence" advice to heart to mean "just manipulate people's memories for what you want" because that's how he's programmed right now

99 here to be the Chaotic Evil

and even full of demons Rean is not a violent person so he's way more into "maybe if I just make people like, love me unconditionally somehow they'll listen"

99 is a bro

even though like part of the demon thing is supposed to be encouraging violence like there's only so much I can twist Rean's personality around to like, be INTO the violence. But pseudean falsification??? That's fine, currently

I CAN ASK DUET YA

like he's in this state of, well I don't want to be mean, but I know what's best for everyone, gentle yandere

I FIGURED YOU AND AVIY WOULD WANNA PLAY WITH IT LONGER SO YEAH!!!

gentle yandere... Phoenix is cute

the hilarious sidenote is that the second ever ability phoenix is buying is pseudean falsification just to FIX THINGS HE DID

at which point he'll probably just be like, fuck it, I'll buy hysmine blessing too I guess

in fact, retaining a lot of his personality means Evil Phoenix is just way more gentle and soft

no remorse about bad things because no morals but he'd like to gently yandere over violence!!

he's going to feel like total shit after all this and have some people to make up to

I feel like I did not fuck with ENOUGH people

either yandere wise or otherwise

it's hard, wanting to abuse powers but not having enough time in the day to touch all the people

buton the one hand while like less than a week is not enough time for all the things, I, like everyone else, am pretty ready for shit to calm down

yeah like

I didn't even get to really see if he could mess with sanguine or boss or anyone else he loves

so much is going on

not enough time or energy in my body

energy has been really hard

i was limited by having to sneak to use my phone on breaks and in the bathroom at work because i cannot have it out at my desk at work.

yeah

and the entire week for me was a fugue state of sleep or sickness

i mean there's still the game

I do anticipate if certain people merit murder in the game phoenix might fight his team

i know one issue i've had is Boss doesn't want to like... excessively hurt people he really cares about? like. even if he knows he's in the right (lol demon brains...) so like. that might. be something to address in the game. but idk.

yeah

OH GOOD WE HAVE THE SAME DILEMMA

because we don't literally have ghosts in us it's tricky

this murder is for your own good but actually we don't necessarily WANNA

yeah sanguine also

it's like pilling a very sad cat

Bad End devolves into having to force each other to do the things

"look I hate this almost as much as you do but it'll fix you, baby"

I joked with cleo that phoenix could replace Crow's knowledge of like the word "fuck" with "hug" etc

i maintain that it would've been hilarious

not to get spoilery but that kinda thing

since actually phoenix has been trying to help

but yeah like, sanguine was fine with beheading doodleman, whatever he doesn't care about that guy too much

but he couldn't bring himself to hurt e because he? likes e? this is for his own good but look he likes him? there's a different way to deal with this.

I don't actually know if pseudean falsification can rewrite feelings

so I haven't had phoenix think to try

i don't think it can, it's not supposed to lessen emotional impact

just change the details

but you bet your britches he'd just be writing in "you're obsessively in love with and loyal to me" into people's memories

just so maybe people would listen without having to be thrown through a wall

that makes sense

it can't rewrite feelings

that makes sense

just persons/objects/locations. the meat of the memory has to remain

yeah that's what he's been doing

it's just a thing I think about like

if I could... I'd do that

yeah i think that's Charm on HSS's thing

god that would be so great

charm is a good skill

anyway there are so many things I could have done if I had infinite time and energy but I'm also ready to be back to regularly scheduled phoenix

me2

also for the c part of h/c

he's gonna have a lot of guilt but what's new

someday phoenix will be more fucked up than fucking up

some day...

SOME DAY

though this one was at least not his fault in the first place. his actions yeah. getting that way, not so much

he's got a lot of people to comfort

betrayal wasn't his fault either by that measure

none of these are really our fault but someone has to take responsibility

... Boss raises his hand

and the demons aren't gonna

boss sit down

puts boss's hand down

you're gonna get punched but like don't take responsibility for everything buddy

but--!

no

anyway yeah we haven't really gotten to play with it yet but anyonw involved in maintaining this illusion is ultimately ending up high on aries' shit list so

unsure

however you guys want to do it =|a

phoenix would 100% fix it immediately so it's up to if Duet wants that! but I suspect she's probably down for it
