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.

Darcy Plotting
A first primary warning that Darcy either dies or comes close to dying in almost all of these memories. It's fine she gets better. Second is that Ghosts Are Real (tm) in Darcy's world, but not everyone can see them. Darcy is a ghost hunter of often violent and destructive ghosts. As a result, depending on the prompt, there's a very real chance your character could get fucked up things they can't see. Keep it in mind.
Basic outlines for memories I'm loosely penciling in, in roughly chronological order:
Mercy Street: Darcy sneaks off during mass and gets in trouble for climbing a barrier + trying to kiss a statue of Mary. Will feature her parents in case you wanna ask what the fuck is wrong with them that produced Darcy.
Country Roads: Darcy bored out of her brains on her Aunt's farm in the picturesque French-Swiss border mountains. She will take 0 convincing to rack off and set something on fire.
Death by Drowning: Darcy fuckin dies the first time. punch her murderer, drown her again, idk I'm not your dad
Slut Skirt: Darcy gets taken to her first music gig! This is one of the few post-sin-eater memories that doesn't involve outright death so enjoy it. You might actually even get to talk to Darcy in this one.
Boombaya: Darcy and teammates at a fencing Grand Prix in Foggia. This one is probably gonna be a little less interactive, unless you want to like. interrupt the tournament or something.
Internet Friends: Darcy and her Krewe fight a convent of ghost nuns possessing an entire Smart Home. Haunted blender. Haunted Oven. Haunted Alexas everywhere. The doors and windows are all locked. Are you a bad enough dude to fight a ghost nun??
Dyin Day: Darcy gets murdered by Avery. :)
HMU if you wanna discuss other shit, I'm cool to mine her backstory for other shit if nothing appeals here, and also hmu if you want a memory more focused on one of her Krewemates or her parents or teammates or etc.

i mean, im not saying that we could double-bill skulduggery and darcy beating up serpine and then her murderer, but it would be extremely funny
no subject
I want him literally anywhere but it would be so deeply funny to have like
skulduggery and darcy teaming up to fight legendary necromancer serpine and then skulduggery beating up some random drunk french teenager who thought pushing someone off a bridge would be funny while darcy dissociates on a riverbank
no subject
there's also the genuinely touching ability to be there for her once she comes back, literally like "ok, time to wrap this bitch up in some blankets" as mem!darcy idk crawls out of the river, i'm pretty sure she just climbs out but i cant remember.........
no subject
But yessss extremely deeply love skully actually being there to help... I think I talked about it on the discord but straight up having someone there when she died will like. temporarily but drastically change her and her perception of the world tbh...

Additionally, alternatively, if it's Darcy vulnerable and fucked up you want I could always offer you something off the menu... eyes
no subject
yes, i'm here for pain and suffering and sympathy, in whatever arrangement we can use to further complicate their opinions of each other! if there's an off menu opportunity for that, sign me the heck up
no subject
lmk if that works for you?
no subject
oh darcy. i can already tell this is gonna be a memory thread imma have to get my tissues ready for, it sounds like a rough ride. we 100% don't have to do it if you think it'd be too much or too spectacle-y!!! tho i do enjoy some thread parallels and yeah, like you said, the similar lockup vibes
basically if it works for you it works for me!
no subject
Can't wait for Darcy to have the crisis of knowing Clarke saw her in her darkest time i'm sure she'll be normal about it
