EVENT INFO: THE NIGHT WE MET

EVENT INFO: THE NIGHT WE MET

the lore part

For most of the day on February 16, all of the town's forest spirits can be found along the stretch of road between downtown and the harbor, clearly setting up for, uh, something. They're piling snow onto the pathway, creating a miles long sled trail that starts outside the Landmark Inn and ends at the very end of the harbor's dock. Not only that, but the forest spirits are also not super willing to explain what they're up to! They're busy, you lantern-havers.

By the time evening rolls around, the spirits have set up wooden railings alongside the snowy path, as well as a warming tent, hot chocolate booth, and announcer stand outside of the Landmark. Oh, and a starting banner for the race! It's dogsled time!

Throughout the event, Beacon's downtown and harbor areas will be completely overrun with forest spirits, all there to bear witness to this holiday celebration—this holiday is for them, though, not you weirdos with your naked faces. Point is, none of the spirits will be hostile at this time! They're more interested in interacting with each other than with Beacon's residents, though if pressed, a kind spirit might be willing to explain what's going on:

The aurora arrives in Beacon for about a week each year, and the forest spirits believe it to be "friends in the sky". The lights are old friends of theirs, it seems! And each night while the aurora shines above the town, the forest spirits send off a handful of friends to join the aurora! The spirits ready to join the aurora build sleds of their own and assemble mighty sled teams, sometimes comprised of dog spirits and sometimes... other stuff. Then, when the aurora is at its peak in the wee hours of the night, the sled teams will ride off one by one, racing down the snow-covered path all the way down to the harbor, where they'll finally rocket off the dock and out over the lake, picking up more and more speed as each team gallops wildly over the water before arcing up into the sky. Once the spirits are barely a speck, they'll hit the aurora and burst into a shower of light. Beautiful stuff!

See, since the aurora is made of light, forest spirits launched into it are killed on impact! Isn't that wonderful! The forest spirits seem to think so! What is death to a dead thing!

All of this information can be learned through handwaved/played-led interactions with the forest spirits during the event. They'll all be focused on saying goodbye to their friends and cheering them on as they stream through the sky, but they're happy to welcome lantern-havers to join in the celebrations. The hot chocolate is free and only tastes a little bit like mud, so. Enjoy!

Even if you're not interested in the forest spirits' holiday, the arrival of the aurora will give you plenty to celebrate on your own. This is the most light Beacon has had since the game opened in July, as the green glow of the aurora is nearly as bright as an overcast day. Bask in the constant near-daylight for those six days, everyone!

...Oh, and it's a memory sharing event!

the memshare part

As the aurora dances over Beacon and forest spirits explode into shooting stars overhead, meteorites will rain down from the aurora. They're not technically meteorites, but you get the picture. They're opals! If a person closes their hand around one of these rocks, they'll experience the memory locked inside...

According to the forest spirits, the aurora is made up of their old friends, friends that have moved on to another stage in their existence and have had to leave them behind. The memories dropped by the aurora will focus on a person or people that each character has left behind by ending up in Beacon. You are free to interpret this stipulation however you like! The person left behind can be a friend or enemy, alive or dead, etc. The idea is that this event will remind characters of those they have left behind in death, in whatever way that most resonates with them.

Opals can look however you like, and they'll be turning up at random all over town! There's no way to determine the "owner" of the opal without peeking at the memory inside, unfortunately, and on top of that, while the aurora is active, the opals are bit tetchier than usual. During the event, touching an opal in any way might trigger the memory sharing. If your character wouldn't ICly partake in memories but you still want them to share stuff/see other people's stuff, there you go! There's your excuse!

When the event ends and the aurora fades, the opals will stick around, and they'll continue to be functional! Feel free to stock up on memory opals to do memory sharing stuff down the road. They're multi-use, and there aren't any drawbacks to using them.

•••
For those of you interested in plot stuff, we'll be doling out random events throughout the week, so sign up below if you'd like a chance to receive one! These random events will include things like forest spirit encounters and happening upon opals belonging to NPCs. There's nothing dangerous about it—we're just doing sign-ups so we know who's interested in having us bug them! These random events will be posted either to characters' inboxes or to their toplevels on the event page. You're welcome to sign up even if you aren't planning to toplevel at the event.

Check out the header below and fill out the form to sign up! We'll be prioritizing new players and players who haven't yet had a shot at neat plot stuff, but everyone is welcome to toss their hat in the ring.

•••
Additionally, players are welcome to use this post for OOC event plotting! In fact, please do, as not everyone in the game has access to each other's plurks! If you'd like, you can use the small form below to kickstart your plotting plans:

<b>player:</b> (feel free to put your contact info here if you like!) <b>character(s):</b> <b>plans:</b> (have any plans already? or do you have plans you'd like to make? let the world know!) <b>notes:</b> (anything else worth mentioning, like permissions/opt-outs/hiatuses/etc.?)

the tl;dr

• February 16-21: The forest spirits send off their pals on dogsled journeys into the aurora! Memory opals rain down throughout Beacon.


• The town is super bright (by Beacon standards) throughout the event! It's like overcast levels of light.


• Each memory opal contains a memory belonging to someone in Beacon, and the memory is focused on a person they have left behind by dying.


• The opals will stick around after the event ends! They can be reused to your heart's content.

[meridio]

player: Jae
character: Somnus Lucis Caelum
plans: I won't be writing a top-level for this event unless his CR would like prompts; however, I'll definitely be tagging out! I'd love for opportunities to build on or create CR, so I'm all for exposing Somnus to others' memories. hmu, friends.
notes: Somnus' memories would involve his estranged brother, the gods' speaker, and/or the people he set on fire back in the day. Yeah.

Castiel & Eleven

[freetobe]

player: Inky | inkcharm | inkcharm#4573
character(s): Castiel and Eleven
notes: Please see the permission and opt out posts for Castiel and Eleven respectively.

[mollymocked]

player: Chris
character(s): Mollymauk Tealeaf and Mewtwo
plans: Both Molly and Mewtwo will be doing memory share stuff. Molly will be so for the opals until he realizes what they do and will be ABSOLUTELY disinterested in touching them, while also being worried that some might have his memories in them, because oh my god, rude. He doesn't have all that many!!

Mewtwo, however, will be deeply curious and this is a good way for people to facilitate CR with it.

Molly's memories will mainly focus on the Mighty Nein and will involve all the good times and the deeply stressful times with them. There's also circus fam memories available. Just hit me up and I'll give you some memories if you plan on making a top level.

Mewtwo doesn't have very many memories either, and most of them are AWFUL. You can see the memories of the clones Mewtwo left behind FIGHTING TO THE DEATH on its orders or you can see nice happy clone memories on Mt. Quena. There's... not a whole lot of options. I'm more interested in it seeing memories than I am having it giving any.
notes: (anything else worth mentioning, like permissions/opt-outs/hiatuses/etc.?)

Eliot Waugh // The Magicians

[endlessflask]

player: Lausanne (hit me up at blackspire if you want!)
character(s): Eliot Waugh
plans: Depending on what sort of interaction you want, I can tailor a memory story ~just for you~

I love memshare plots, though, so please hit me up. Eliot has a PLETHORA of sad/tragic memories ranging from just the sort that make you cry to ones that might come with trigger warnings, but he's also got a lot that are silly/weird/happy/loving. So whatever vibe you want, let me know and I can make it happen. Or if there's something specific you want to know about Eliot, I'd be down for doing that, too. I'm very easy.

notes: I'm in con-crunch brain for the next two weeks so my tags might only come every other day, but I think that's the only immediate thing worth giving a heads-up about.

[mellowyellow]

player: Wind (shogunsensual)
character(s): Masaomi Kida
plans: So. Memories. So many memories. Let's do this by character.

Mikado and Anri are Masaomi's best friends. Happy memories of them attending school and being weirdos are absolutely an option. I can do Masaomi raving about love triangles and romantic comedies, dealing with bullies and/or gang members, or blackmailing a teacher who sexually harassed Anri. I can also do very not happy memories like Masaomi cornering and threatening Anri in an alleyway or deciding not to kill a dude solely because he doesn't want Mikado to see him do it.

Saki is Masaomi's girlfriend! There aren't going to be many happy memories here. They will mostly have to do with her being kidnapped by a rival gang and Masaomi not being able to save her! Yay! Or perhaps him visiting her in the hospital a year later while she insists he'll definitely come back to her because Izaya said so.

Izaya is the worst human being on the planet. Mostly because he's always right. Again, there won't be many happy memories with him. Options include him monologuing at Masaomi about how his enormous fuck up will shape him for the rest of his life and he'll never be able to escape it or him informing Masaomi that yes, Mikado, the kid Masaomi is trying so hard to save from the Dollars gang, is actually the leader of the Dollars gang. Isn't that just peachy?

Koji, Horada, and other members of the Yellow Scarves are your one stop shop for fun color gang memories. Their rivalry with Blue Square, them begging Masaomi to return to the gang, punching assholes across the room for being insubordinate, Masaomi being "fired" from his gang and getting a hit put out on him, or even his death.

Celty, Simon, and the Van Gang can all be options too, but they're not as close to Masaomi, and thus would only have one memory to choose from. Celty saving Anri from Masaomi and his gang with her spooky Dullahan powers, Simon trying to convince Masaomi he shouldn't have to go on a suicide mission while living as a dumb teenager in Tokyo, and the Van Gang saving Saki's life.

notes: Masaomi will be attempting to hoard every Anri, Mikado, and Saki memory he can find. So he will be readily picking opals up off the ground just to see what each one contains.

ellever brandt

[antiwhat]

player: Crow crowskyler
plans: Despite seeming like the most sheltered person to have ever sheltered, Ellever left behind a lot of people when she died. And she's really been missing them lately, since lantern shenanigans made her a little more uncertain about herself and her place in Beacon. D: Below are some ideas for potential people/beings memories could focus on! A lot of them feature monster-types because Ellever's abilities make it easy for her to befriend them. Sooo, if you want memories with some monsters...

✘ Fuzz. Ellever's best friend back home is a truck-sized moth that developed out of a not-quite-corpse, a species that's responsible for the Mothman sightings. She kept him from getting killed by paranoid Zier Security employees as a teenager, and they chill together. Sometimes he also plays fetch. Sometimes. If she has a light-up ball.
✘ Ezra Zier. AKA her adoptive human dad. This could be a traumatic memory, like Ezra insisting that she needs to hide herself away because of potential Endbringer Problems, or it could be a memory like Ezra stumbling across her as a toddler and 'adopting' her.
✘ Ambarish Dewan. Ambarish is the oldest of Ellever's half-eldritch cousins, well over two thousand (he doesn't actually remember how old he is anymore), who possesses the ability to rewrite reality simply by speaking. He speaks in stilted questions and vague statements to prevent this as much as possible. Ellever has only met him a few times, but all of them were occasions in which the two had a long conversation about the Nine (their parents), the state of the world, and the monsters therein.
✘ The Wendigo. Ellever naturally has the best relationship with the Wendigo who is imprisoned in the warehouse at Zier Security (to keep it from eating people, since they haven't found a way to kill it). It's fifteen feet tall and vaguely humanoid with a black deer skull for a head, and it hasn't spoken to any of the staff as of yet. She often is present when it's fed and tries to talk to it, so the Wendigo could be a creepy background while Ellever airs out anxieties and sadness about her heritage (aka would your character like to learn that Ellever is the being who is supposed to bring about the End of the World?) OR the memory could be the terrifying day they caught it!
✘ The Bunyip. The other Big Resident of the warehouse, who lives in a modified aquarium-style tank exhibit. The Bunyip has a long, dog-like face, flippers, large canine teeth, and a mottled form good for camouflage. She's 25 feet long and roughly horse-sized. Ellever found her as part of a traveling sideshow, where she had gotten free and killed almost everyone. Capturing her was a frightening memory, too. Or the memory could be Ellever's vague attempts to train her to balance a ball on its snoot. Either way.

notes: These are just some general memory thoughts! Feel free to plot with me here or on plurk if you want something more specific out of the memories for CR development. c:

sam winchester.

[helled]

player: zelly | thwip
character(s): sam winchester
plans: moooost of sam's memories are gonna be pretty bittersweet. you have the option of seeing some stuff featuring his family (dad mostly, but also maybe mom! also possibly jack!), old flames of the past (jessica, madison, amy, etc.), and kid-shaped winchester!bros of the past because technically they're completely different people sam has left behind in his old age.

i'm going to be avoiding anything particularly demon-y this time around, just because sam's been through enough at this point in his canon and i'm gonna cut him some slack for this event. this basically means you won't be seeing sam drinking demon blood, or having the time of his life in hell, but anything else is up for discussion!

notes: because sam is brand new to town, he's definitely here to mingle with literally everyone. come at me if you're feeling like exploring some memories with sammy! c':

[forcer]

player: Kelly
character(s): Kylo Ren
plans: No concrete plans, but he needs to meet people and make friends and I feel like this could be a great start.
notes: Kylo's memories range from a happy childhood to extremely traumatic, both for him and for the other person involved in the memory, so anything is fair game. A lot of them will involve his family, the Force, you know... usual star wars stuff. Please feel free to msg me on Discord at Kelly#3575 or on drummingmagpie and let me know if you have any sort of specific memory you may want to see from Kylo. I'm extremely open to whatever! I'll let people pick what they want to see from him, just give me a heads up either in the tag or ooc!

[techtype]

player: Daimon, dropitlikeitshod, daimon#1067
character(s): Prompto Argentum, Tadashi Hamada (tadaishi)
plans: I don't have anything set in stone! That said, there are certain things you should expect to encounter depending on which character you want to see the memories of! Content warnings include parental death, (accidental) murder, absent parents, and bullying.

Prompto - Honestly, Prompto didn't leave behind a lot of people that he cared about or who particularly cared about him, but there's a handful. His memories are likely to be sad, with a few exceptions. If you'd like to see what kind of women he finds attractive, you can. Or things he would rather keep secret regarding his birth. Or maybe a weird hobo.

Tadashi - With Tadashi, you're likely to get a memory involving his little brother or his parents. Potential brother memories include dealing with bullies in school, wacky homemade invention shenanigans, and siblings being siblings. Other memories include random hanging out in San Fransokyo and Tadashi's attempts at building a marshmallow robot.

notes: Permissions are in journals. Some of Prompto's memories might spoil parts of FFXV.

[dadandgone]

player: Erica OOC Contact
character(s): Maes Hughes
plans: I plan on top-leveling with Maes, but sometimes plans change so I guess we'll see. I have considered most of the people important to him and BONUS there are a few memories of his time with The Circle :D. Maes will be in full-on Investigation mode, so not only will he be collecting rocks, he'll also be looking in to these spirit shenanigans because...how is this not all worrying :Tb

Anyway, the opals:
Childhood - These will vary, but they are all based on headcanon. Maes as a boy and he loses A LOT of his family. His mom dies when he is 4 years old while giving birth to his sister, he loses his siblings to illness/accident, and in a way loses his father through all that loss. If you want a bitty Maes losing his family (and this explains a lot of why he's so worried about his own)...this could be interesting stuff.

Gracia/Envy!Gracia - Most of these are happy and will either be early memories of Maes courting her at her bakery or her pregnancy with Elysia. However, one lucky person can get the rock that contains Maes's memory of Envy!Gracia shooting him in the phone booth. 8D Wanna talk to Maes about his trauma or why it's difficult for him to discuss his wife now.

Elysia - There are all kinds of cuddling newborn baby Elysia memories if you want something just super soft. I also offer up Elysia's 3rd birthday where you get bonus Gracia and Winry and Maes threatening small children with violence should they hurt his daughter. It's a good birthday party though. Gracia made the cake.

Roy Mustang - This comes in two varieties: pre-Ishval, military Academy and Ishval conflict memories. The first one nets you a young Maes and Roy as they learn to become soldiers and the second one gets you a lot of bad memories of a genocidal war. Most of these will be pulled from the lovely short OVA Yet Another Man's Battlefield. But I can also tailor memories that aren't pictured if you are wanting something different.

The first three will have lots of Opals, the next few I'll probably keep it to just one or two since this is starting to get unwieldy lol.
Alex Louis Armstrong - Maes meets this giant hulk of a man and they work a case together.

Shiro - One of his memories of being with The Circle. This memory will be from this thread so warnings for gore and monsters. Shiro and Maes and the rest of the Circle were sent by Astoria to save a spacecraft...there's a nightmare they have to take out instead.

Barabas - One of his memories of being with The Circle. This memory will be from this thread where Maes and Barabas hang out in their room-turned-file room and discuss things like travel between worlds, time, and death. This is Maes coming to terms with his death (sort of) and talking to someone who wasn't a canon mate about dying.

Astoria - One of his memories of being with The Circle. This memory will be from the original arrival post so warnings for blood as Maes wakes up from being shot 8D. The arrival here was a lot nicer than waking up on a ferry, fyi. ;D

notes: None at the moment...I'll be posting Jason's memories in a separate thread.

cw: mentions of abuse, abduction, child loss, and cancer diagnosis

[paraskeptic]

player: carlee (catch me on plurk at vdova if you wanna)
character(s): elektra natchios and dana scully
plans: nothing set in stone yet, but i had loose ideas:

elektra: her memory would involve stick since he's the only one he would have counted as her leaving behind (does that wording make any sense?) and honestly, she'd hate that, because this is the same man who raised her as a murderer for his war and decided to kill her when she was too dangerous (ie: stopped following his orders).

dana: hers would involve mulder in some way and probably also her mother. there are a few notable memories involving them both (her abduction in season two, her diagnosis in season four, and the discovery and death of her biological daughter in season five), but i'll decide on which ones are shared depending on who wants to see them.

notes: permissions are located in both their journals (i believe, if i'm wrong let me know), and if you'd like to opt out, let me know here!

[notthatjason]

player: Erica (Contact Info)
character(s): Jason Grace
plans: Usually when I top level one I won't with the other -- but we'll see what actually happens when the log goes up. Much like Maes, I have separated this out by character -- but if you have a different idea/desire in mind, I'm game!

Beryl Grace (mom): Jason barely remembers her since he was only two when she gave him up. Beryl took the family on a vacation near the Wolf House and offered Jason up to Juno as a peace offering. His mother kneels beside him and promises to see him again soon...but he never will except as a mania/spirit of insanity.
Lupa (wolf!mom): Another tiny Jason memory, this time with a pack of wolves and a giant she-wolf. This is Lupa raising him as one of the pack, to eventually make his way to New Rome/Camp Jupiter. He's treated like a pup, but there's the underlying sense that if he doesn't prove to be strong enough he can easily become a snack. Conquer or die.
Gwen & Dakota: Younger Jason coming into his powers. This is either summoning lightning and the kids being afraid of him for it (holy shit a son of Jupiter) or, more importantly, learning to fly for the first time. This mostly involves a quest with Gwen and Dakota, two members from his cohort, when he's about 10 years old and jumping from a high place to save a friend. He's pretty sure he can fly...maybe.
Reyna: Either his first meeting with her when she makes it to Camp (he earns her friendship by treating her to the most delicious brownies in New Rome) or them coordinating battle plans during the attack on the Titans' strong hold at Mount Othrys.
Piper: Girlfriend now ex-girlfriend, so there's a lot to pull from here. You can either get something sweet or something action-packed. I also don't mind someone getting the memory of their break up, cause Jason isn't likely to discuss it much if he doesn't have to.
Leo: Lots to choose from here, much like Piper, but again you are probably getting something with action and shenanigans because that's just the kind of person Leo is. Want to ride a bronze dragon? Want to fight a giant statue and watch your bro program it for "idiot mode"? Some fun stuff.
Thalia: Reunion scene~ Jason never thought he'd see his sister again and they get this really sweet reunion scene. There are also somethings in this memory revealed about Jason's mom (and how terrible she was)...you also get to learn that Jason got his lip scar from attempting to eat a stapler when he was two.
Nico: I have two-three memories in particular for Nico picked out. One involves Nico and Jason having to fight Cupid for information and Jason learning Nico had feelings for Percy. The second involves Nico offering Jason a goblet of poison as kind of a test of "how sure were you about trusting me". And finally is a scene with Nico and Jason discussing their future plans and Jason getting to give his little goth friend a hug.
Percy: These two fought side-by-side a lot so if you want some good demigod combat this is probably the memories you want.

2-for-1 special!

[vampirella]

player: kittycat, catch me in pms or meowed!

character(s): carmilla
plans: I want to play with other chars living these memories and I can write out what they feel/experience and then we can write the aftermath, bc it feels like a more interesting twist on men share for me. just FYI!

gonna be soft & gentle w this and offer two memories a piece!! And I would like to lock them to 1 memory per person. I'm game to chat about additional things, but a multi share probably won't work with my chars, they're too private. carmilla especially will fuckin annihilate any opals she notices to hold her own memories. here are her options:

— mommy dearest. she has some Issues with Lilita, and this memory would just involve your char being in her shoes as her mother dotes on her and honestly it might seem almost sweet, but it's not. See triggers below for more info.

— big sister. this is a more traditional happy memory, probably the two of them living it up in Paris in 1920s. might include some blood drinking, but otherwise not too soul scaring. Might even be a fun hedonist adventure! Carmilla will not smash this opal, in fact, but she'll smash you if you don't let her have it.


notes: you can ask me for more details but she has abuse, noncon, vampire stuff, murder, unwitting sacrifices and so much more in her history.

character(s): matt murdock
plans: first and perhaps foremost, someone BLEASE describe what the aurora looks like to him. I'd die

— blinded by the horrible chemicals yeah so this is the horrible one. Does ur char wanna know what it was like to be 9, save a lady, and then lose your eyesight as your dad holds u and cries? Well that's a weird flex but they can if they want to.

— haven't the foggiest just Matt getting pizza and going to josies w foggy. Sort of the happy prompt, but comes w the bonus that your char will experience it via a world on fire. Weird huh? also: expect your char to obsessively love nyc during this prompt

notes: Nothing as crazy as cat woman, honestly. Not planning much horrible w him except maybe injury on a child.

I'm happy to craft more personalized scenarios if you'd like! You can hit me up here, via pm, or my plotting plurk. :)

[unpredict]

player: Jade | bogans or jaded#0421
character(s): Kol Mikaelson.
plans: Primary goal is tagging into memshares rather doing my own!

I want to throw Kol into the memshares of people more than actually have him have memories others can experience, only because he can actually make you relive his memories via his dream manipulation abilities whenever he wants, and I figured that would be a cool CR development more than anything else.

But if you want a memory from Kol, there's a few you can pick from:

Happy memories:

• Joking around with siblings (Rebekah, Klaus, Elijah, Finn, Henrik)
  
• Plotting murder (he has fun actually planning to murder people, see evidence
  
• Practicing magic as a youngster with mom back in the Viking age
  
• His resurrection pre-coming to Beacon via Davina Claire
  
  Traumatic
  
• Big bro finn cursing him via a hex to die alone
  
• Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah daggering him over the years for various reasons
  
• Mom reprimanding him for being a cheeky bastard
  
• Abusive Viking vampire hunter-who-is-a-vampire Dad hunting them down
  
• Viking Dad teaching Kol really roughly how to fight back in the Viking age

I don't have plans to do a top-level for this one, so I'll be tagging around!

notes: My main focus is backtagging and completing the #lanterngate threads, since most of Kol's personal stuff is in that one more so than this, but I'm happy to share some Kol memories if you want to learn some more about Mr Devious.

player: anya | kaldwin
character(s): eddie kaspbrak
plans: memshare events are my jam! so i am more than opening to tailor scenarios to certain memories if you're character would be interested in encountering a certain one! eddie's got a lot of shit going on for a thirteen-year-old kid from a small town in maine. highlights include:

sarissa theron — original.

[magnitudes]

player: Bella - feel free to pm me or reach out on plurk at wollstonecraft
character(s): Sarissa Theron magnitudes
plans:
Before I dive into plans related things, I think it's worth noting that Sarissa background has some traumatic themes in it - namely alcohol abuse, violence, domestic violence (spousal and child), death/murder and organised crime.
I'd be really interested in getting to explore some of these via this event, but if you'd like to do things with Sarissa and avoid any/all of those themes that's super awesome, too. I have an opt-out post for particular themes or cr with Sarissa generally over here.

Particular people who I think could be of interest to explore memory stuff about are:

Georgia di Carlo; ex-fiancee, total babe, love of her life. Only her ex-fiancee because Sarissa isn't really sure how to classify some discoveries she made shortly before dying and what that means for their relationship. Possible memories could be their dumb meet cute, Sarissa proposing, or dumb cute things like Georgia lamenting Sarissa wanting to eat mac and cheese quesadillas instead of authentic Mexican cuisine, and other such adventures. There's the chance for darker things, too, as due to [convoluted story reasons] Sarissa mistakenly thought Georgia was dead for a while, which sparked her unravelling into the level of disaster she is today. A memory linked to Georgia would also be a way to see Sarissa's death so :)!!!


Graham Theron; her father, an awful bad man. This is where themes of domestic and family violence come in. He was very physically and emotionally abusive, so it could be a chance for close cr and seeing some of the reasons why Sarissa is so very... Sarissa. There's some really dark themes that could be dug into here, potentially intense violence (although I'd be happy to make things less graphic) and themes of isolation and forced starvation. He's not a good guy, but he is part of the reason Sarissa went into law enforcement and also the person she most fears being like, so it could make for interesting memories.

Also potentially stuff with her mother, who wasn't abusive herself, and was a victim of it, but who also helped to conceal the abuse so like... it could be really interesting and really sort of painful and messy and complicated. Sarissa's very protective of her mother but also is really angry with her so it's... complicated.


Eunike Michaelides; her grandmother. Basically the coolest person ever to exist, so far as Sarissa is concerned. CUTE FUN MEMORIES. FARM MEMORIES. YEAH.

If none of those grab you but you'd like stuff with Sarissa lmk if there's a particular kind of vibe you're interested in and I can brainstorm some other options.

notes: I've been super slow this month due to health stuff and study things, so many apologies for that - I hope diving into this event will help me get back into the swing of things ;u;

Richie Tozier / It - SPOILERS for 2017 and It Chapter 2 (2019) within here.

[trashmouthed]

player: noodle | doggos
character(s): richie tozier
plans: richie's got a huge amount of trauma for a thirteen-year-old kid. some highlights include:
- his sexuality and life as an outcast

notes: i'm on hiatus rn bc of moving and my health but memshare events are too good to pass up so i'm gonna do my very best to pull something together for it.

[cained]

player: miyou / hmu at poohsticks
character(s): dean winchester
plans: we've got options, folks! dean's not exactly a sharing kinda guy, but too bad for him i love to share. nothing too traumatic, but standard supernatural warnings apply.

— WEECHESTERS: dean's 16th birthday. a good memory of dad. a little glimpse into his relationship with sam as a kid. also, there's pie.
— BENNY, PT I: purgatory flavor!
— BENNY, PT II: post-purgatory back on earth! benny agrees to help dean get back to purgatory to save his brother.
— CAS: tbd, but it'll probably be something more recent so cas can see what his relationship is like with the winchesters in his future
— MOM: tbd, i just want dean to be able to look back on his mom fondly (single man tear) and also show everyone who never got to meet her
— JACK: jack and dean getting burgers, dean teaching jack to drive, the two of them going fishing; team free will 2.0 celebrating jack's return at the bunker

— MICHAEL: rocky's bar, castiel and sam breaking through to dean who has been trapped inside his own mind by the archangel michael; dean eventually trapping michael, essentially making himself "the cage." dean specifically does not want sam to see this memory and will do everything in his power to make sure that sam doesn't. drama!!! so as of right now, only vanitas will find this memory but it might come into play even after the event is over if dean hasn't found a way to get the opal from vanitas and destroy it.

notes: dean's being fairly reclusive as far as Getting Out There, mostly because he's of the mindset that he's about to blow this popsicle stand so he hasn't been feeling super inclined to engage with the other residents of beacon or get too settled. i'd like for that to change! even just a little bit, so hopefully people randomly peeking into his memories will help lmao. that said, he's not gonna be happy about it, so be prepared for that, too. he's not exactly in Make Friends Mode yet but we'll get there.

player: Amanda
character(s): Cheryl Blossom
plans: Cheryl will 1) be collecting a lot of opals because they're pretty and 2) will have some memories out there, mostly about her brother Jason and her girlfriend Toni, but maybe also her mom? tbd we can decide
notes: I've got a big chunk of time off coming up and will hopefully do some RPing at normal US times

[plentystrong]

player: Val (honeyfoot, honeyfoot#1000 on discord)
character(s): Catra
plans: I don't have PLANS in that exact sense, but we can take a few memories from Catra's life:

1) childhood memories. These run from "Catra is a little brat" (like that time she scratched an adult officer's eye out) to heartwrenching (her childhood... in general... was not nice) to heartwarming (anything to do with Adora)

2) series memories. Basically Catra re-living any event from the actual series, much of which includes her climbing ranks in the Horde, fighting her ex-girlfriend, manipulating people, and some little memshareception as she's actually had a canon memshare once which was not fun at all thank you good night

notes: Sorry I've been slow, bit overwhelmed right now, but memshare ahhhh. I'd love to play some juicy bits!

[redtwin]

player: PG (quantumvelvet)
character(s): Alisaie Leveilleur
plans: Alisaie will attempt to return any memories she finds to their owners, because ugh, this is horrible, let people have their secrets. She'll also have some memories of her own scattered around, and would very much like those back, please, let's make CR.

Neutral/Positive
-Alisaie and her brother setting off for Eorzea; the last time she saw her parents (green/blue black opal)
-Alisaie and her brother arguing and going their separate ways (black opal, primarily blue flash with some red and gold)
-Meeting and/or training as a red mage with her catdad mentor (red fire opal)
-Getting her sword and focus from giraffe elf uncle (pink opal)
-Shaking down a giant talking catfish for information (black opal, red and gold flash)
-Falling asleep on her brother because rebellions are exhausting (black opal, red and blue flash)

Negative
-Finding out what became of her grandfather (red/orange fire opal)
-Tiny kobold child summoning a god after his parents are killed (yellow and green moss opal) cw: human(oid) sacrifice
-Memory montage of nearly everyone she cares about succumbing to a mysterious ailment, culminating in her own collapse (dendritic white opal)
-Being just too late to prevent a friend from being infected and transformed into a monster (white opal with pale pink flash) cw: body horror

notes: Some memories will be spoilers for parts of FFXIV, so if you want to avoid those, poke me on plurk or by PM and we'll figure out a non-or-minimally-spoilery memory for you.

[knifecollecting]

player: Dee! floodplain discord @ starshine#3348
character(s): Jo Harvelle
plans: I have no plans yet whoops.
memories: I have a few ideas!! Come at me.

1. The end of her first hunt with Dean and Sam, when Dean steals a cement truck so they can seal HH Holmes in his sewer forever. A good memory of feeling like she's doing the right thing and finally getting to do what she wanted. This opal will be gray on the outside with cracks of black peeking through, in a perfect circle.


2. Hanging out with Ash, a highly intelligent but laid back and somewhat unambitious mulleted drifter who lived at The Roadhouse (before it burned). The memory will focus on Ash helping her set up an email address and the blog she didn't really keep up. It will be a happy memory of idyllic days in her very late teens before the Winchesters arrived. This opal will be square-ish and vibrant green with specks of gold. (Think a computer chip)


3. An argument with her mother that the Winchesters interrupt. A green and brown opal, pretty small.


4. A conversation between (a much younger) Dean and (not that much younger) Jo about how Dean is scared of Ellen. This opal will be oval-shaped but rough around the edges, and neon blue and green.


5. After the seal has been broken and Lucifer was released, War went to a small town in Colorado and had some fun. Ellen and Jo went to help Rufus, and Dean and Sam showed up to help too. This opal will not have happy memories. The End of the World has come and shit is going down. Jo is convinced Ellen has been possessed by a demon. There will be flashes of fear, random people with solid black eyes, and some Sam getting tortured with Holy Water and salt while they try to exorcise the demon. Cut to helping Uncle Rufus set up pipe bombs in the house they've set up. Being held up against a wall by her mother. And then figuring out the Horseman of War is in town and shit is going down. This opal will be a ring and shiny red.

notes: I'm sorry this didn't get finished until the event was up!! If you have other ideas please come talk to me I love memory shares.
