would you spare a moment for a jjk zoie info dump??
I originally came up with my cursed technique a longgg time ago, and it was what was then essentially translated and used for my bsd ability.
it's essentially that, for combat purposes, I can go into a sleepwalking like trance which massively increases my combat prowess and abilities to the point where I can react completely instinctively to stimuli without the need for thought, at the cost of my consciousness. I'm not aware during the trance, so I kinda just go killing machine mode.
anyway I had it so that it would have the side effects of making me Actually Sleepwalk very often, and when I do they're so convincing that I seem to people that I'm genuinely completely awake.
the only way someone can tell I'm not awake is my demeanour, because it's a bit dreamier and a bit more open and vulnerable about my affection and feelings etcetc I sort of act more young and carefree?
it has so much fun situations to put myself in with him and sugu. I thought not to tell them originally and they find out by accidentally bumping into 'sleep me' and I'm acting all funny. one where they have to retrieve me because I'm playing around on the roof and yk.. I'm obviously asleep. also that I let stuff slip so much that they kinda start staying up to hang out with 'sleep me', and get my real feelings about stuff, and I will, in this state, be aware that like I have a sleep me and a normal me and that when I'm awake I won't remember. but it's kinda playful and childlike.
it just has so much room for tension and fun and soft moments and things. melancholy that I won't remember those times but they will, worry that they prefer 'sleep me' over awake me, despite them being the same person just one without filter. especially where I don't remember when I wake up so if I let them stay and hang out with 'sleep me' I'm trusting them fully with my unconscious and everything in it.
also the ability itself is very draining, and there's a lot of room there for yk .. rescuing, nursing back to health, being stubborn ... etc etc.
let alone for the first time showing recognition of satoru during the trance, where before I have never shown any distinction between ally and foe...
