Once upon a time, there was a story who was loved. A story who had been read over and over and over again, loved by everyone who had read it. At some point, it had been reinvented and reimagined over and over and over until the original couldn't be recognized anymore. Even the story itself can't remember what story they originally were. Instead, all they have is a remnant of their original story as their name.

Their goal?

To remember who they once were.

Once upon a time, you were someone who knew this story well. You read that story over and over and over again because you loved it so dearly, but at some point, you grew up. You left that magical world and ended up in a world that had forgotten the world of magic.

But one day, you remembered that magic. You remembered the world that you loved, that story you loved, and you wake up in the new world.

But you don't quite remember the details.

If you can remember the story through the LOVE LOVE DOKI DOKI in your heart, you might be able to help the suitor (aka the story) to remember who they truly are, and maybe also, figure out who that story truly wants to be.



The story holds out their hand to you to help you up from the field you were lying in.

_{Maybe they're not siblings, just....mirror images, or something..?}

I'm not sure that really makes it less weird...

Re: DISCUSSION

[finalbows]

Oh, really?

...what's your opinion on the classic "if I had a perfect copy of myself," then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

Like--would I kiss myself if I met a perfect copy of myself??

Re: DISCUSSION

[finalbows]

Mhm.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

...I think if I ran into a perfect copy of myself, I'd probably be more preoccupied with stuff like asking "why is there is a perfect copy of myself??" than thinking about kissing my perfect copy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[finalbows]

Assume you have the answer to that question AND that there are no innate negative consequences solely to the act of doing so.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

I don't know! This is a really weird thing to think about all of a sudden. Would you kiss your perfect copy if you happened to meet one??

Re: DISCUSSION

[finalbows]

Well, once I was also sure it wasn't going to try and kill me and replace me or something, or at least that any attempts could be comfortably mitigated...

One hundred percent. _{[ ... ]} I think... I did, actually. When we were nearly all doubled, recently. It wasn't for FUN, but still.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

Oh, yeah. I think I saw that?

...You weren't kissing your perfect copy, though, so I don't think that counts.

Re: DISCUSSION

[finalbows]

Ah, while that WAS kissing my copy under unideal circumstances...


I would still do so under unideal, certainly. He does know what I like. No drama in the communicating.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

I guess that would be pretty convenient...
