(I'm going to post about this change here for everyone to try and help understand what's going on. This is the most complicated potion there is)
They only got about a minute to take this all in however, when the remaining four black potions (The fifth drank by Josh earlier) began to bubble slightly, glowing with an erie blackish light.
Josh meanwhile suddenly found 'herself' seeming frozen in time and space as her eyes began to glow the same erie color as the black potions.
(ONLY the black potions are glowing)
They couldn't have known the seer power they had unknowning unlocked.
The black potion. Created for the use of changing not only the mental state of the one who drank it if desired, but reality itself.
Having finished it's countdown time of taking in commands, it began to exicute it's function.
Documents and memories alike began to be overwritten, the orginal memories being filed away deep into receses unaccessible of the human brain. (More on that later.) More and more was changed/ or rearranged in reality as the potion did it's work.
Attempting to do the best with the information unknowingly given to it, it began it's changes.
First all documents of Josh's changed from male to female, from american to Japanese. Then along came the name change from Josh to Mitsuko.
Soon everyone forgot about Josh and only remembered Mitsuko, the Japanese girl who was roomates with Rhiannon, Rhianon's old roomate simply being moved in reality to another room.
Most of Josh's old personality stayed in tact, though he himself would only remember ever being Mitsuko. (Still more on that later) With the exception of whatever changes would come from being raised female instead of male, his life was relitivly unaltered in it's past.
Finally having been in a sailor fuku when the changes began, it was accepted by all that it was simply how she liked to dress on ocasion.
The black potion was made to have only the person who activated it remember anything about what the truth had once been. Normally this would be who activated the potion, but being as no one was aware of what they had been doing, the potion chose a person at random. Which happened to be Rhianon.
Dus Rhianon was the only one NOT effected by the reality warp, having no idea that everyone now considered 'Josh' to have always been Mitsuko, or that 'Mitsuko' was now her roomate.
(Ok, now for that more on stuff:
All text documents/computer files/stuff like that ETC have been changed acordingly. Memories have too in a way. The 'orginal' memories of Josh have been filed away in the mind where you can't access them. (Don't ask me how that works, it just does.) Only if someone was to 'reverse' this would those old memories come back out.
The only way to undo a 'black' potion is to use another black potion and ask for everything to go back to normal. The potion that undoes everything only undoes the other potions. It CAN NOT do a thing to the black. This means if 'Mitsuko' was to drink one, she'd become "Josh" again only in body and cloathing. Her mind would remain unaltered.
The black potion is generally not messed with much. You may see why. :P
Last of all for Josh/Mitsuko him/herself... His/her orginal memories have been pushed to the far depths of the mind. Depending on the will power/desire of Josh. Is what decides the fate of these old memories. My black potion WILL NOT comlpetely overwrite anyone's personality. This is to correct any mistakes. Like this.
If Josh has a strong will, and desires subconsiously to return back to how he was. His memories will remain fresh. Given time he can even break the mental alterations the potion has done to him.
If he is weak willed, or if he begins to decided he LIKES being Mitsuko, then his old memories will slowly begin to break up and erode untill they are gone for good since the mind will generally see no further use for them.
If you have any OTHER questions about this ask. I'd like to keep this all a secret, but I decided given the sheer complexity of the black potion, I'd just let you all in on it.)
(REMEMBER THOUGH: Your CHARACTERS still know nothing. >:D )
This Party's Getting CRAZY! LET'S ROCK!!
