If you're about to start talking about MY reality, I think it matters plenty! Whatever you think it's like there, I'm pretty sure I know a little more about it from being on-site!
Considering I'd never fuckin heard of you, then yeah, you definitely know a lot more about what it was like. For you.
I'm trying not to spoil you for the fucking future or kick down the fourth wall here, okay? Like, basic courtesy when you're a omnisciently-derived metatextually-induced narrator, you don't just fucking tell people all the juicy details or whatever.
I can guarantee that the knowledge of one thing being fiction somewhere else is not how you would or would have made things weird.
Anyway.
Basically about 18ish years ago, a new form of energy called Momentum was developed.
Suffice to say, KaibaCorp got their mitts ALL over that, which is probably why D-wheels and associated vehicles became such a hot commodity for people who don't even play the game. It's REALLY cheap energy. Pretty much everything in Neo-Domino- heck most of Japan at this point- runs off it.
The usage fades out a bunch once you go international- the d-wheels used by pro-competitors obviously run on it but a lot of countries are still pretty particular about gas and electric.
Anyway back to the point, the generator works with perpetual motion. Also I'm pretty sure it's cutting dimensions, I'd have to go over what I got while living next to the thing again. Turn one way, it's fine.
Turn the other way and...well.
Boom.
Domino was cut right in two- the epicenter became an island known as Satellite. The remaining on the mainland was rebuilt and built overtop of itself as 'Neo Domino'. Not exactly the first time a project ended in ~rebranding~ a city but I guess it made sense here at least.

Why does it matter.

Date: 2021-02-10 05:09 am (UTC)Yeah, you've said.
Except I still can't tell you this shit. Not all of it. Or even most of it.
But I can give you a clue.
Do you know about a guy named Seto Kaiba?
BIG HUGE HEADCANONS INCOMING LMAO
Date: 2021-02-10 05:51 am (UTC)If he tries to ever phrase it how he thought it should have sounded, he's getting thrown into a pool.]
Seto Kaiba?
Hauuuuuh...this really is enforcing that whole 'one person's reality is another person's manga'... ...You better not make anything weird...
Seto Kaiba of course remodeled KaibaCorp into what it became, though ironically, it's a bit militarized again. Super in cahoots with law enforcement.
Anyway he died during the Zero Reverse catastrophe.
