THE VOIDFISH MEME



YOU JUST GOT VOIDFISHED SUCKA
( a taz hack of the amnesia meme )

Somehow, a metric ton of Voidfish have been unleashed on the world, and they're eating up information like it's going out of style. Even if you're inoculated, that's just Fisher or the egg babe -- these new Voidfish can easily erase parts of your memory.

They've been under the radar so far, but they've started to eat enough things that people have begun to notice holes in their memory. Have you forgotten your favorite song, a treasured memory, or a loved one altogether?

( Prompts available to choose, use RNG, or you can come up with your own. )


1. WHO ARE YOU? - Someone's just barged into your life acting like they know you, and you're pretty sure you've never seen this person before. What kind of name is Barry Bluejeans, anyway?

2. WHEN WAS THAT? - Your companion is reminiscing with you, but suddenly they're talking about a time you did that thing when you're pretty sure you've done no such thing. That sounds like you, but was that really you? Maybe you weren't there for that.

3. WHERE AM I? - You're... somewhere. But you have no recollection of how you got here or where that might be. Luckily, there is someone around to help!

4. WHAT IS THAT? - Your companion has something you're sure you've never seen before, and they're insisting is a completely normal thing that anyone should know about. Seriously, though, what's a "blue jeans"? There's no such thing as "magic"!

5. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? - You're spending time with a loved one, and suddenly you have no recollection of how you got to this point. This isn't a normal situation of forgetting your commute -- you don't remember making plans, or maybe even further back than that.

6. HOW DID I FORGET THAT? - Your favorite song, a particularly juicy piece of gossip, or simply common words as you're trying to use them: you're going about your day when you've suddenly noticed you're forgetting things. Maybe you just need something to jog your memory.

7. WHY CAN'T I HEAR YOU? - The voice of the person you are talking to is suddenly coming out as static, and you can't understand half of what they're saying anymore.

8. WHO AM I? - You've had so much of your memory stolen, you can hardly function. You have to pick up the pieces with all that's left, but for some of you, all you have is your name.

9. TESTING, TESTING - The Voidfish have begun to broadcast some of the information they stole. Suddenly, you know things about your companion that you never knew before -- maybe even some things you wish you didn't.

10. WHAT'S UP? - Wildcard! Mix, match, or invent your own.
