MARCH EVENT INFO POST: A SOUND OF THUNDER

man, it’s sure been a wild couple of months, huh? Fio has been having weird dreams. a mirror ate Bash. Crabb touched some stuff. Ava and Pratt fed Ebalon’s corpse to a ghost. wild stuff.

anyway, entirely unrelated, there’s suddenly giant holes in reality everywhere?



that’s normal. that’s probably fine. it’s friendly.

WELCOME TO MEMSHARE EVENT BUT BUILT DIFFERENT! throughout the month of March, large cracks will begin to form around the Serena Eterna: on walls, on floors, in the air, under water, anywhere and everywhere. these cracks are completely benign until touched; anyone who touches one will find themselves pulled inside, along with anyone standing too close to them.

inside, they will find themselves in the middle of a fellow passenger’s memory - physically. they will be able to interact with the world of the memory, and those inside it will react to them and their actions. what they do in the memory will have a lasting impact: namely, if you die in the memory, you die in real life, and the new memory formed by their actions will join the existing memory inside the memory-owner’s, well, memory.

super confusing and weird, right? let’s try to explain this through an example.

a crack forms, containing Jack’s memory of the day he and Jill went up the hill. the crack, at separate times, is touched by Tom, alone, and Dick and Harry, together. while in the memory, Tom saves Jack when he falls down in the hill; meanwhile, Dick and Harry are killed when Tom and Jill collide with them, killing them both. Tom leaves the memory unscathed, while Dick and Harry revive in their cabins, thankful that they seem to have been spared the Dumb Death Tax.

from that point on, until otherwise noted, Jack will have three separate memories of the same event: falling down and breaking his crown, being saved by Tom, and dying. despite the fact that these three memories are very much mutually exclusive, and the fact that Jack also has memories of his life after apparently dying, he will be unable to discern which memory is the true one on his own. they will all feel equally real to him.

(note: this isn’t permanent! probably. you have a chance to fix it! a chance.)

please feel free to use this post for plotting purposes. memories can be shared as many times as you feel you can handle; how they are shared (threading out the interaction, handwaving and just writing the memory and the reaction separately, etc) is entirely up to you.

oh, and one more thing.

there will also be npc memories available. these memories will be much less interactive than passenger ones, but will contain Delicious Lore. sign-up thread below, closes on March 1st. memories will be allocated randomly to no more than one or two characters each.

ava plotting

i don't want to overplan anything since i like to see how stuff plays out, but i have a variety of ideas and i'd like to see which ones people were actually interested in or how to develop them to make them more fun to interact with

-the quantum tunnel explosion of elihas starr's lab. hang around for a tour until the alarms start blaring? ava's 5 here and her parents end up dead. it's her power origin story and i think a few people have vaguely heard the details, so i'm not sure how many would immediately know what's going to happen. the only one i'd allow to outright prevent the explosion is cΓ©sar but other types of interfering are obviously welcome. getting caught in the quantum blast would result in death for anyone but ava.

-young ava at shield, held in a glass containment chamber and trying to keep herself busy with a crossword puzzle. you can try chatting with her until they drag her away for more unethical experiments, plenty of screaming and crying involved. idk are you a bad enough bitch to try fighting all those shield agents?

-ghost on a field mission, earlier in her career. either stealing intel at an enemy base, or an assassination with strict no witnesses instructions. trying to interfere will make you a target, but... well if you're somebody too obviously an innocent or outright weird she's going to have troubles knowing what to do about it lol.

-join ava in a run down mid-country motel room watching the ongoing tv coverage of the shield is hydra reveal that she's just managed to escape from (aftermath of captain america the winter soldier is the reference point here.) and then the authorities show up trying to bring her back into custody. things might get messy! especially if she thinks you're the one that tipped them off to her location. oof.

obviously all the above have ways to die! i mostly want to know which concepts are most appealing so i know which to focus on expanding and working out details.

Edit: i'm also wanting to do a memshare of ava's time in the battle royale, mostly for characters that never got to experience it. during this event ava found undine dead, watched conan die in the crossfire of a fight with lucy, phased lucy into a tree, told watson to fuck off because she didn't want it to come down to the two of them having to kill each other, and then snapped on the third day of no sleep and heightened paranoia and "mercy" killed crabb and then buried herself shortly after. so let me know if there's a particular moment there... oh also a singing billy bass.

god ughghghhghg all of these re really good. i'm leaning towards ava's parents dying, or the field mission? i feel like those two would be fun for them to either interact with together (ava and skulduggery vs mem!ava) or just for skulduggery to meddle alone lol

and since i'm here, i absolutely think the "run down motel" one would be funny for sharky to intrude on. just knocks on the door like "hey girl i got you some chips from the vending machine, can we watch something other than the news for like 10 minutes"

[personal profile] decohere 2023-02-20 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
ooh i definitely think Skulduggery having to take it on alone would be great πŸ‘€ especially the lab explosion. but the mission one might be hilarious too because a sudden skeleton would be such a ?!?! moment that throws her off

and please i need sharky crashing her motel hideout

Aaaa I feel like I should pick the explosion one because that's the one Fio saw.

Or the second one... is young Ava in containment around the same age as the one in the explosion memory? Can tiny Fio fight shield agents by throwing magic lanterns at them lmao

[personal profile] decohere 2023-02-20 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
yeah she'd be about the same age or possibly about a year or two older? but god i want tiny fio fucking up shield so badly screams

Oh ok! So not much olderrr, so Fio will recognize her. c: She can hang out a little and maybe try to free her haha. I do want to have her fight a bit...

poooooossibly mercy-killing crabb just because that's the only one involving a character cass already knows? but really any of it at all, because cass wasn't here for it and i think has only heard the vaguest references to it in passing.

"mercy" killing aka ava went a little unhinged... i'll have to track down the thread at some point if you want to take a look at it

I would love to have 6 come to comfort a small Ava in the containment center and tell her that someday she's going to get away from here and meet people who love her very much.

I'd love to send Rita into one of Ava's memories, especially one involving her desire to cure her powers, whether that's young Ava at Shield or when she's older. It would be a fun follow-up to their recent thread!

[personal profile] decohere 2023-02-24 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I think a young ava being held by shield would be a perfect one for that!

[personal profile] myagic 2023-02-24 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent! I'll send her Ava's way for that.

How quickly would he trip some security device and end up getting shot at lmao

I have one Omnic who is willing to duel wield machine guns at Shield agents to get Ava out of a containment chamber.

He may even let her call him a robot because he'll be so perplexed and unhappy with this situation!
