hello it me i have a question b/c someone has very ill-defined canon powers

HOWEVER, navi is shown to be able to pick up on the memories tied to a location, particularly when those memories are tied to a strong emotion or traumatic event. he can experience them as his own even if the event in question took place decades prior - so essentially i'm just curious how this would react to the presence of the kouribake doubles & all the memory/timeline heckery going down, if there'd be any sort of psychic feedback you could get off of them at all.

CRACKES KNUCKLES

For the Ice phantoms created by the Kouribake, he will only see the memories of that AU. If he's able to tell whether memories are fake or not: he will get the sense as though the memories these duplicates have are very much real, as though only their bodies are fake.

As these are only phantoms created by the kouribake, he will not see the kouribake itself. Should he manage to see one in the future, he will only get a vague memory of a beautiful woman singing.

For Sapporo in general, upon entering the castle behind the resort, he'll see illusions of what it looked like before the Everfrost, with warm sunlight and cherry blossom trees growing outside the wooden structure. It will be impossible to tell how long ago this was.

And should he take on the giant flower boss fight: he'll see a beautiful Goddess sitting on a throne and suffering from some kind of illness, causing her hair to turn blue and her skin to turn pale, as though freezing from the inside out. She will be a in a lot of pain, and eventually, the scene will shift to one of her followers ending her life with a sword. He will get the impression that this was not done out of malice, but out of pity. While exploring the area, he'll see other visions of the ice structure (once, a beautiful castle, now in ruin), and see that while it wasn't always a cold and snowy place, whatever happened to change that happened instantaneously.

RE the ice flower, what else is in the room with it if someone were to look around before/after fighting it?

Also how close will it let people get before it reacts and starts to attack?

You can think of the room like a large vase in terms of general shape, so there isn't really much else inside! The room is carpeted with crystalflowers, from floor to ceiling, so characters may have to trample them to walk around. The large flower sits in the center, and all along the ground around it, treasure can be found hidden beneath the flowers, or even with the flowers growing out of it (as crystalflowers grow on ice/snow instead of soil). At a glance, it gives the impression that this structure exists solely for this flower.

How close characters can safely get to the flower is up to individual players! Some may not disturb it until they try to leave, while others may find themselves being pulled in while inspecting the entrance.

Let's say someone gets a curse from the event

Is removing the curse possible? Maybe certain angelic/demonic beings have curse removing powers, or they somehow just remove the curse, at least partially (or at least a smaller, less serious curse), through sheer will or some other dumb reason

Would that be a hilarious antic I could totally do or too op?

[jikan_mod]

You would need to be more specific as to what you mean by curse, as there are no curses associated with this event?

Curses are very specific and generally come from particular ayakashi or spells. And generally speaking, things like ayakashi curses need to be removed in the manner unique to that given curse!

While characters who canonically can remove/repel curses could potentially work around this, it would need to be previously established for that character. While Jikan does not have apps, generally speaking, you should have a solid outline of what your character's powers are when you app into the game.

I think I may have mistaken a general post for an event post oops

Someone was cursed to not be able to have a sense of touch for a week and for some reason I swore that was a specific feature of the latest event, but I may have been misremembering.

This wasn't really a serious question, just something I was pondering, like what if demons can just temporarily will the curse away, or maybe that plus combined with Kizuna the curse could be weakened etc etc for a small shenanigan thread. ("Omg my curse is gone! Oh nvm that was a lie! Etc etc)

I understand the last paragraph and that characters with specific powers should specify in the app, like that makes sense, and this was just something I was musing/pondering, but then was advised to ask it in the FAQ anyway just in that possible chance someone else might have been wondering the same thing.

[jikan_mod]

That curse would have been a Bonus AC ayakashi curse, not the event!

But basically, this isn't a question I can answer unless there's a specific character with a specific canon power, as not all demons would have such an ability (and I would sooner assume they cause curses than remove them in most canons)!
