Food For Thought (Rp Post)
Ok, first: I was going to make this post hours ago, but then things happened at Sigil (yes, we're still playing that XD) and killed me dead. THINGS ARE HAPPENING. It's so tense and heartbreaking I don't even. ;___;
B-but I decided to post this anyway, it pertains to a dilemma in another Rp scene (actually two) I currently play and I thought it was interesting. Because I think many Death Note players deal with this, actually. And it's less complicated and heart-wrenching than the Sigil dilemma. (DX)
Let's say Mello (Mafia!Mello to be precise) has, through some standard fare Rp 4th wall/time-travel/world-hopping event, learned about the entire plot of Death Note. Now he returns to his own world and time, knowing exactly how things are going to play out. What does he do?
Something tells me he would not stick to his original plans (kidnap Sayu, get Death Note, ending up blowing out his HQ), but instead start some elaborate Xanatos Gambit-style endgame that involves screwing around with everyone and switching around information at will and all that. You can blame it on me watching a great deal of Lost, which is basically all about information hierarchy and being all-knowing because you saw a glimpse of what'll happen. The problem is, I don't think I'm good enough to pull off something like that. 8D
How do others deal with character finding out stuff from their future? And what do you think someone like Mello would do?
