Lore & Info Sharing

Share Your Knowledge

It's been nearly 6 months since folks started waking up in this charming little town in the middle of nowhere, and by now, almost everyone has learned something weird about this place. To keep everyone on the same page, spark conversations, and prompt new questions, we're putting up a lore-sharing post!

Feel free to use this post to share what you and your characters have learned, theories they might have about the place they're in, questions they want answered, and anything else you think the rest of town might want to know. Jump on each other's comments, ask questions, whatever you'd like! This is an OOC space but there's a high chance two characters have the same theory and might want to chat about it over tea.

Use the handy form below or go wild on your own. Happy sharing!

Character: Jaune Arc
Lore / info they've learned: Jaune knows an average amount about the town, what is basically the commonly shared knowledge: the town seems to have reset itself after collapsing, there are strange and inexplicable occurrences in the town, memories can return at seeming random or in relation to specific acts (discovering lost artifacts of your past, viewing your own gravestone) at specific times.
How did they figure this out? Everything but the last Jaune was told by other people, reinforced by his observations. On the topic of memories, Jaune had both examples happen to him directly.
What else do they want to know? Despite not being very good at investigating on his own, Jaune has taken extensive notes on everything he's seen in town and the questions that they raise for him. He's most curious about 1. how they can stop the destruction of the town 2. how they can return home and 3. what is happening with the local inhabitants of Wellstone, who are real and his friends.
OOC or IC theories: Jaune's most concrete theory is that the NPCs are more than they appear. He bases this not on facts he's observed, but what he believes in his heart. Some of his daydreams involve 'rescuing' them from whatever it is that binds them to rote responses and a set routine, or at least determining if they're happy with their lives as they are.

OOC: I've gathered that it's not necessary for characters to kill their own evil doubles to dispel them, and that the NPCs have human nervous systems to go with their human bodies, and those nervous systems can be manipulated from the outside.

oh Flynn SUPER also empathizes with the NPCs—the receptionist annoys him sometimes but for the most part he's worried about them and concerned that they're being held here against their will. He wants to help, maybe this is something he and Jaune have talked about before and can perhaps investigate together???

Jaune is a little shy about his opinions on the NPCs, but with Flynn, he'd absolutely divulge all of his sentimental feelings. I'd love for them to investigate it together, and perhaps Flynn will learn about the lore Jaune has invented for the NPCs, like the normal guy he is.

oh my goodness yes plEASE once we wrap up this thread maybe in cycle 3 we can have some NPC investigation times. Flynn has almost certainly divulged his own sentimental worried feelings so Jaune doesn't have to feel alone in his Concerns

As long as Flynn can forgive Jaune for going to the beach that makes you young I'm so in. Flynn forget about my dramatic age lift we have NPCs to follow around and form parasocial relationships with!
