THE 'TRUE SELF' MEME(inspired by Persona 4)



"In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts."

Everyone has another side to them that they keep hidden away, feelings they bottle up to save face or avoid conflict. But what if those feelings take a life of their own...?

Perhaps it's your best friend, a close family member, a hated enemy, or maybe it's just a complete stranger. No matter who it is, they are different now, possessing creepy yellow eyes, a distorted voice, and a disconcerting aura. Take care in what you say to them, though, because there are three little words that will set them off into an unstoppable rage...

How to:
Step 1: Post as your character with their name and canon
Step 2: Others respond stumbling onto your character
Step 3: WHOOPS. Character A has been replaced by their Shadow or Other Self!
Step 4: Play out the encounter! Will you start an epic boss fight? Have a pleasant chat? Or maybe just flat out ignore them? Run wild!

[Ok, this isn't good. Both of them could be in potential danger. She shakes her head.]

No, that's not it. Nagito's there, or at least I believe he is. But he wouldn't behave like this.

So stop making him say those things and let him go!

[eyeswideopen]

Do you really know me at all. I wonder. [He laughs, the sense of something other subsiding as he steps slowly back until there's a good six feet between them.]

I've worried about you. Like me you suffer misfortune and like me you ignore your own pain. How much self worth do you have? Is it as dismal as mine still is deep down?

Are you as reckless with your own well being short of death, that I have become. I do so wonder.

[Colette didn't take into account the part about ignoring his pain in the earlier comments but now it's put her off-guard.] ....Huh?

Wh-what do you mean? What does that have to do with anything?

[eyeswideopen]

[He holds his hands up, a small smile on his face. Whatever he's thinking it isn't visible on his face.] I wonder.

What does that have to do with two formerly dying people. One ruled by the course his luck took and ahaha, secretly resenting his own talent.

What ruled your life? What dominated your thoughts because it told you what fate you were chained to?

[clumsyjesus]

[Colette turns to the ground. Why is he pointing this out right now? What's he trying to do?]

Wh-what are you trying to tell me exactly? None of that has anything to do with the situation right now!

[eyeswideopen]

Oh it does. But you're not thinking about everything I've said. If you do I trust you'll see it too. [Relent? Never. Not the way a shadow works.]
