on memory loss and the mun being an emotional terrorist

[glistens]

( Dear Mun )

No.

Look, I - I know. That you aren't sure whether he will even be there. And I know this is something you're REALLY excited about doing if it works out and that you'll look out for me and that I'll have a load to do myself. And I know that you love the setting and the idea and it's beautiful but --

But if he ends up there with me and you do this? If you take away my memories it would crush him. And I promised I would stand by his side. I promised that I would always be there.

You know I never break my promises, Mun. Ever. Never ever ever for anything. And you know why I can't break this one.

I do want to have him with me. But nothing like that is worth…worth hurting him. Does that make sense? Even if I WOULD get to see his Persona.

Please just… reconsider?

( Love You Most, Rapunzel ♥ ♥ ♥)

I think it takes a lot of courage to stand up to a mun like that.

[ jimmy sighs ]

Especially one who threats to take away your memories.

[glistens]

Ohhh... Ahahaha, no, no. She's - she's not the one threatening. It's kind of required. You have to pick and choose which memories to give up if you want to go!

It's...more the memories she's choosing.

[winglesss]

Go where? It doesn't seem like a promising field trip.

[corona]

This place? ( hiddenbygods )

I think it sounds fun. Not as fun as going to class with my friends or flying or anything. But I do like working!

[winglesss]

[ raising a brow ]

Flying?

[alchimia]

Unfortunately, everything comes at a price. Can't gain something from nothing, Rapunzel. It's how things are.

[ Still, losing memories... After seeing what it had done to Al, it's not something he'd wish on anyone. ]

Maybe there's some other kinda price you can pay in exchange?

[glistens]

Heh. You'd think right? That maybe there'd be something else for it? Like a possession? I'd give away my dress. It's the only one I have with me but I would. I guess their rule of Equivalent Exchange isn't very lenient.

[alchimia]

It's not supposed to be easy like that. Usually, to get what we really want, there's a price we're not willing to pay. What will you get out of it, Rapunzel? You gotta ask yourself... what's worth giving up your memories.

[ Shrugs. ]

'Fyou wanna know what it's like, sometime... ask Al.

[glistens]

If I do it I'll be able to - [ hairtug ] - to take care of myself. And I'll have a place to stay. And that's GOOD, I - I get that.

But nothing is worth hurting him this way. Nothing.

[alchimia]

There's your answer. If that's how you feel, tell your mun to fuck off. Simple.

[fools_journey]

[ Guess who's asleep and totally missed your heartrending appeal! Because muns are the cruelest. And by asleep on his desk, I actually mean floating unconscious in memespace or something... I dunno. I just wanted to tag you, okay? ]

[glistens]

[ > YOU TAKE IN THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT AND THINK "WOW WHAT AN ASSHOLE" ]

[fools_journey]

[ Wow, rude!

So understanding, Rapunzel. Can't you tell he's busy sealing stuff? ]

[glistens]

[ DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT RUDE YOU'RE NOT SEALING ANYTHING

YOUR SLACKING OFF YOU'RE A S L A C K E R ]

[glistens]

Uh - Ahaha. Hello in there.

[fools_journey]

[ Despite your horrible rudeness, he stirs a little and opens his eyes slowly, blinking groggily. ]

[glistens]

.......



[ "YOU'RE" SLACKING OFF TOO ]

[preacher_man]

[He looks at her with those blind-looking eyes, smiling though with constrained sympathy for her.]

Just remember if your nun does this you both will simply fall in love again. Even if it hurts at first love endures.

[glistens]

First love? You...mean the first time you "fall" for someone? My friends told me all about that. [ and she's terribly proud of this ] What does first love have to do with my memories?

[preacher_man]

All I am saying is you both will be together no matter what.

[glistens]

But I won't remember. The reason I liked him to begin with will be gone. And if HE does -

[ Well then it would be like that ridiculous The Vow movie that's coming out that looks like a Nicholas Sparks novel - which is lame. ]

[scribes]

They are making you forget someone dear to you? How terrible. Why would they do such a thing?

[glistens]

She has a lot of reasons? [ sniffs ] "Drama, character exploration, sadism, plot potential"... And none of it makes sense.

[scribes]

I am very sorry to hear that. I think sometimes our mundanes forget that we're people too. You must never lose hope, however, perhaps there will be a way to undo all this.

[glistens]

Oh believe me. I am never going to give up. I'm going to work and clean and cook and work and work until I get those memories back.

And I will. Get those memories back.
