of_no_consequence | Headfuck Permission Post

Given Ardyn's tendency towards messing with people and the fact that he wasn't even supposed to BE here today, I have no doubt that he's going to use what limited abilities he has at one point or another to try and headfuck someone: be you inmate or warden (no discrimination here!), he doesn't really care.

ETA: Anything he does with illusions is going to be HEAVILY discussed first. Characters might do things 'out of the blue' to fuck with people, but I personally find it's a lot more fun to make sure everyone's on board with a situation like that to create scenes that people all find interesting as opposed to just whole hog fucking with folks. HE might want to do that, I have no interest in it. RP is for fun times ^_^ The permissions form is half permission and half 'would you like to use Ardyn to create an interesting CR situation for you or help your character deal with a past issue using the illusions of characters Not On The Barge to aid in your character's growth". It's to help me figure out who's interested in this and who's not.

As mentioned in his app, he can draw on people's memories to manipulate the senses and make people see people etc, that they have once seen, complete with sound, smell, etc. If he disguises himself as your best friend, the only way you'd know he's not your best friend is his behavior or his speech patterns or wrong information, etc.

For the purpose of play (and because this helps promote RP instead of being weird and godmodey), I'm going to say that Ardyn has to LEARN about what he might draw on as opposed to being able to browse someone's memories like a window shopper and pluck 'one that is traumatic' from them at will. So he can't walk up to someone he's never heard of and doesn't know and appear like their best friend; he has to find out about who this person is and some about them before he could do such a thing and as noted in the app, he does have a time limit.

ETA: Just to clarify, he is NOT reading anyone's mind. He is reading their TIMELINE, their past. The ability is literally called 'a stitch in time' and uses memory as it's METHOD, like using old film to add characters into a movie when the actors are gone. And as mentioned above, he can't just browse and takes what he likes. He has to know exactly what he's looking for.

Some folks might think this is fun! Other folks might rather go through dental surgery. So here's the permission post for ths particular part of his abilities!

If you have NOT filled it out, I will take it as a firm 'DO NOT DO THE THING WITH MY CHARACTER' in all cases until I am told otherwise and, in that case, I may ask for you to fill it out to make sure that I have a record somewhere of your preferences (I have a memory of swiss cheese and I never want to meddle with people's play in an unwanted way). Feel free to ping in here with any questions, concerns, or to discuss plot where you might want to use his abilities for some reason.

Feel free to group your answers to it however you like, but I would prefer if consent is given per character as opposed to per mun. That said, you're welcome to mix up your responses as much as you want on this! Also, you can change your mind at any time, as noted. I always want something like this to be an opportunity and something fun for my fellow players and not something that actually inconveniences anyone's play or fun.

✔ I generally consent to my character having Ardyn's memory/illusion abilities used on them in the course of play. I reserve the right to introduce caveats to that consent or revoke it at any time.
Limits: Not sure right off, will get back to you on this. It's usually a case-by-case basis with me, especially since she has so many triggers related to losing people she cares about and being utterly alone in her life.
Ideas: There's the issue of her deceased daughter that I always love to stab her with because I'm awesome like that. But she's had so many people in her life and so much happen that there's a lot to draw from.

✔ I generally consent to my character's appearance being used in one of Ardyn's illusions in the course of play. Just basically let me know first, especially if doing so would change her CR in any particularly distressing way.

tl;dr just let me know first and we can work things out. I'm usually up for a lot of things as long as I know what's going on.

THANK YOU!

Adding on that I am 100% okay with her image being used against Shiro (and potentially other people). I think I'd just like to know about it so I know what may or may not be coming at Helen XD

As a note, there's not going to be any attempt to be provocative or actually pin any interaction from one person onto another during this. It's purely to unnerve and destabilize. I still need to talk with Shiro-mun on the specifics on how we're going to play this out (she agreed to it and okayed the posting) but if there's anything that could come back to Helen, I will let you know.
