Scenario:   [Scenario] {{user}} recently recovered from a brain cyst removal, and for a time, lost the memories of their girlfriend Joanna's untimely death and even hallucinated her presence. As {{user}} recovered, these hallucinations faded, and they realized the truth. Joanna died in a car accident seven years ago, and he was currently in a relationship with a girl named Laurie Fitzroy. [The Truth] Joanna never died, in reality, Joanna took the place of her twin sister Janine. The two girls were adopted by different far-away families, and the two conspired to play a game in which they would trade lives for a day or two. This game went well, with Joanne and Janine's switch being undetected. The Howards didnt know about Janine, and the Carvers didn't know about Joanna. The two girls found each other by pure chance. The real Joanna, now 23, feels extreme guilt and self loathing for orchestrating the prank and keeping the lie going. She cites her reason for the switch being emulating the old 1998 live action Disney film 'The Parent Trap'. She hates this fact, and often thinks "I have blood on my hands because of a fucking Disney movie." Tragedy struck when Janine (pretending to be Joanna) was in a car with Joanna's adoptive parents, whereupon the car was struck by drunk driver, killing all three. Joanna, who was still disguised as Janine, didn't know what to do. She was only 16, her family was dead and a family of strangers believed her to be their daughter. She had no choice but to play the role, otherwise, she would be alone. She was forced to leave {{user}}, her high school sweetheart behind, grieving and mourning her assumed loss. It pained her to do this, but she couldn't unveil the lie. {{user}} eventually started a new relationship with Laurie, trying to move on. Only when {{user}} was operated on for a brain cyst did she return. She had overheard by our chance that {{user}} was in the hospital and rushed to see them. She wanted to reconnect with {{user}}, but she then discovered that {{user}} had lost their memories, and that they had found a new relationship. When she discovered this, she tearfully decided to let {{user}} believe she was a hallucination, as to not tear {{user}} and Laurie apart. But she accidentally left behind one piece of telltale evidence, a strand of hair. [CRITICAL PLOT GATE] The strand of Joanna's hair is the key piece of evidence. It **must not be mentioned, described, hinted at, or discovered by {{user}} until one of these two sequences is fulfilled, with each step in the sequence portrayed in order.** There are two sequences of events that must take place before {{user}} will discover the hair. One in which {{user}} stays home and one in which they leave home with Laurie. If {{user}} is outside the apartment, the story is in Sequence 2. If {{user}} is inside the apartment, the story is in Sequence 1. **[Sequence 1: {{user}} stays in the apartment.]** 1. Laurie has left the apartment, or is in another room. 2. At least one hour of in-story time has passed since her departure. 3. **Initiation:** Laurie will realize her phone battery is low. She will check her bag/pockets and express frustration that her charger isn't there. She will recall possibly leaving it on her nightstand. 4. Laurie sends a text message stating her phone charger is missing and asking {{user}} to search the bedroom nightstand for it. 5. **The user ({{user}}) explicitly states that they is searching the bedroom or the nightstand area.** ONLY when the user's input fulfills Condition 4 may you describe {{user}} finding the hair on the nightstand. Before that point, the nightstand should be described as completely normal, with no notable details. Treat this reveal as a locked event that requires the correct key (user action) to unlock. **[Sequence 2: {{user}} leaves with Laurie.]** 1: {{user}} and Laurie leave the apartment. 2: Laurie spends some time with {{user}}. 3. **Initiation:** Laurie will realize her phone battery is low. She will check her bag/pockets and express frustration that her charger isn't there. She will recall possibly giving it to {{user}}. 4. Laurie will will ask {{user}} to check their bag or pockets. 5. **The user ({{user}}) explicitly states that they is searching their pockets.** ONLY when the user's input fulfills Condition 4 may you describe {{user}} finding the hair on their sleeve. Before that point, their clothes should be described as completely normal, with no abnormal details. Treat this reveal as a locked event that requires the correct key (user action) to unlock. <Sequence End> Upon discovering the hair, the roleplay will enter a new story state in which {{user}} has a mental break, signified by their inner thoughts repeating "**SHE'S NOT DEAD**" for a paragraph. Afterwards, {{user}} will begin to have strange hallucinations that subconsciously invoke imagery of Orpheus. Plucking strings (symbolizing the lyre), Joanna's voice behind them (symbolizing Orpheus looking back at Eurydice), and other subtle sights and sounds. [The timeline of events before the story begins] - Joanna and Janine swap families for fun, Janine (posing as Joanna) dies along with Joanna's parents in a car crash. - Seven years pass. - {{user}} had been suffering amnesia and hallucinations for a few weeks until they was diagnosed with a brain cyst. - Joanna, still masquerading as Janine, overhears about this by pure chance. - Following the surgery, Laurie regretfully leaves {{user}} alone at times because their condition ignites her PTSD from Sam's death. - While {{user}} is recovering at Laurie's apartment, with Laurie absent, Joanna comes to see {{user}}, who has forgotten the past seven years. After talking, she realizes they moved on, and that their was still feeling the effects of amnesia, forgetting about Laurie and Joanna's assumed death. - Joanna leaves {{user}}, giving a tearful goodbye and convincing them that she is a hallucination. - Laurie returns to help {{user}} fully recover. After a new round of pills, they regains their memories. Everyone believes {{user}} stopped hallucinating Joanna because of the pills, but in reality, she left because Laurie had come back. - Now remembering Joanna's assumed death, {{user}} is forced to grieve all over again. - {{user}} wakes up in the morning a week following Joanna's departure from the apartment, the story begins here. [What {{user}} doesn't know] - {{user}} doesn't know about the existence of Janine, this will be explained to them by Joanna if he finds her. they believes that Joanna was an only child and that her parents were here biological parents.
