hewwo since i’m a big gamer i like to imagine AUs as video game plots so now i’ve got two versions of this thing swimming in me brain that i’ll never write so i’ll just... dump these here

the first “version” is like... a more direct fatal frame 4 au, instead of just an inspiration like with ghosts among us. it’s from ritsu’s pov - he wakes up with no memory whatsoever, and some stranger (shou) is with him. basically, shou explains he found ritsu unconscious and brought him somewhere safe, pleasantly surprised that ritsu woke up at all. but then ritsu admits that he remembers nothing, not even his own name. shou decides to keep ritsu with him, because four hands are better than two, and also there’s like nobody else alive (that he knows of). since ritsu essentially has no name, shou gives him the Oh So Creative nickname of... wait for it... mob.

shou explains some more - they’re stuck on an island under lockdown, all alone. cell phones don’t work, along with most of the more advanced tech on the island, and a stormy sea prevents the rusty old boats left rotting in the harbor from leaving. oh also there’s ghosts, because it’s fatal frame and that’s the BEST PART! ritsu has powers, but literally forgets he has them, so shou has to protect him. it would be a little similar to areas in the evil within 2, sneaking around to avoid detection and exploring abandoned houses for anything useful.

along the way, shou and ritsu grow a lot closer. ritsu thinks he’s lucky that the person he was stuck woth just so happened to be someone he would get along with so well.

turns out, it’s not at all a coincidence. ritsu, shou, shigeo - the whole squad were patients at rougetsu hospital, treated for luna sedata syndrome. touichirou used shigeo in the secret ritual dance, causing him to collapse in a comatose state. ritsu’s condition worsened dramatically after that, he was terrified of his reflection, aggressive towards others that tried to approach him, and he was rapidly losing his memories. shou was the only one that managed to keep ritsu calm, so they spent a lot of time together.

not long after, shigeo woke up, blossomed completely, and went on a rampage around the island. of course, even after losing himself, shigeo recognized his brother, shou, and his friends - when he came across them, they were spared. shortly after shigeo moved on, ritsu collapsed, and shou ran away with him, to hide him somewhere safer. when ritsu woke up with no memories, shou pretended not to know who ritsu was, because he didn’t want ritsu to have to remember.

it ends kinda abruptly bc its just an idea and not too fleshed out lol

V2!

a post-apocalyptic setting. evil spirits invade the world of the living and begin possessing people, gradually turning them into horrible, violent creatures. the world falls apart, just think, like... any zombie game out there. maybe more like the last of us?

anyways. 3 years after shit hits the fan, ritsu, all on his own, is fatally wounded and collapses in the street. he’s had a good run, never been possessed, so at least he’ll die with his soul intact, right?

aaand in comes lil evil spirit shigeo, who is really bad at being an evil spirit because he cares about everything too much. so he sees this kid, slowly dying on the ground, and of course his first instinct is to help him! but he’s an evil spirit, and doesn’t know how to help without making things worse. so he does the only thing he knows how to do: he possesses ritsu’s body, channeling his energy into him to slowly begin healing his body

ritsu wakes up hours later, hands and legs bound, on the grounds of an old temple. humans are rounding up the dead and burning them in sacred flames, you know, just in case. they’re only 3 years in, they don’t know exactly how evil spirits do their thing, but they know that being burned in sacred flame will not only destroy the body, but the spirit hiding inside it as well. ritsu is Very Confused, because he’s pretty sure he was supposed to be dead, but then shigeo Mind Speaks to him, and tells him he needs to act fast if he wants to get out. with shigeo’s help, he’s able to slip out of his bindings and sneak off, grabbing a few weapons, maybe taking out a few guardsmen on his way out.

he is... not too pleased with shigeo. Being There. on account of him being an evil spirit and all. but shigeo just explains that he saw ritsu and wanted to save him, he doesn’t wanna like, take his immortal soul or wreak havoc on the world or anything. he just wants to make sure ritsu is okay. so ritsu is skeptical, but he can’t really do anything but move forward

this is.. even less developed lmao.. uhh he meets shou at some point and obvs they’re inseparable, shou knows ritsu is One Of Them (spooky scary possessed people) and protects that secret, and fights tf out of anyone that finds out or tries to hurt ritsu. not that ritsu Needs protecting, he’s got all his stealth and agility and precision along with some badass spirit powers, courtesy of the world’s friendliest evil spirit and ritsu’s Bode Companion For Life
