Origins[]
Marie Antoinette was married to King Louis XVI of France, making her the Queen of France. The French peasants hated her extravagance on herself while they starved, and her sympathies for Austria, an enemy of France at the time. When the French Revolution hit, the king and queen fled from Paris, heading to Austria, Antoinette’s homeland. But, they were recognized, captured, and executed by guillotine, effectively ending the French monarchy. She is remembered for saying the phrase “let them eat cake” in response to the peasants starving because of lack of flour, highlighting her ignorance of the citizens and their problems. However, many now think she never uttered those words.
Effects[]
It causes anyone that eats food that had touched it to mentally regress. They start losing their earliest memories because they are most distant and easiest to erase. The server does this because once it hits the earliest learned abilities, like reading, talking and writing, it takes away the newer and more recent experiences, too.
