Ascension Address: The calm after the storm…

You wake up on the beach. You don’t know where you are, or even how you got here. It’s difficult to push past the fog in your mind; it’s difficult to even register how hungry you are. You stand up and look around, for the first time registering the pounding behind your eyes. And you see a disaster. Broken trees lie fallen, knocked down as if mere playthings. Boulders and rooftops lie heaped in hollows and against hillsides, deposited by the winds to forgotten nooks and crannies.

All you remember is the storm, and islands seemingly sinking into the sea. You remember swimming, and gasping for air, only to receive another lungful of brackish water. You remember seeing land, and feeling the desperation of a drowning man. It seems like a lifetime ago.

As you pick your way through the fallen branches and scattered debris, you can’t help but think about your own broken memories, strewn before the storm as leaves before the wind. It’s time to pick up the pieces.

Repeal all rules, and replace all instances of “Player” and “Tom Nook” in the Ruleset with “Amnesiac” and “Past Memory” respectively.

Sorry for the delay, all! It took a bit longer than anticipated to get my ideas into writing. Trying to get a Coup-like hidden role game with a theme of amnesiacs trying to remember their past life in this Dynasty. Ofc set immediately after the Storm that ended Clucky VI.
