MARCH EVENT INFO POST: A SOUND OF THUNDER

[sailmods]

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.

Using the framework I outlined in each scenario, I will fit the scene to your character and we can hash out the best way to make them work. Please be aware that the CW's pertain to anything you might encounter in each memory. I'm happy to give more or less graphic detail as desired. Just let me know.

Aaaaah either A or C for 6 and Ava? 👀

[be_seeing_you]

Let's do A because I love the idea of her getting to see the time he case so close to cracking.

[decohere]

Hahah god and see if she can figure out which is which 😭

[be_seeing_you]

I believe in her!

normal earth kid frat party? awful vampire shenanigans? the potential for blood and gore and death stuff?

hnnngh i'm intrigued at the prospect of tossing clarke at max's A prompt

[be_seeing_you]

I will put you down for max frat party! save the day if you can, clarke.

[prince_of_beasts]

Oh I would like to get in on a Max memory -- both have potential, we can hash it out on Discord?

[be_seeing_you]

DM me on discord when you're ready. Cmdr.Crackers#5481

Dance of the Dead for Natsuno, please! It's gonna be messy.

(Also I will be tracking those Crichton memories so fast, Won't Get Fooled Again is gonna be wild, please tell me there will be Gary Regal and Rygel in a gimp suit)

[be_seeing_you]

Heck yeah! If it gets gory Number 6 won't know how to feel. But I look forward to Natsuno witnessing the bullshit of the village.

[konpeito_aji]

Vampire Ball for Max plz!!!

Very very VERY MAYBE B won't get fooled for Crichton but only if we ~~magically~~ have the time capacity and others don't take up a lot of energy. Like serious back burner!!! No stress allowed, only fun/crack

[be_seeing_you]

I'll post you as a maybe for Crichton. (:

Oh, side note, if you and Noah want to do a three-way with Klaus and Nobunaga both going to the ball in Max's memories I'm good with that idea. I know you mentioned it on plurk.

[busball]

I'm good with three ways. -Christopher Walken voice-

[be_seeing_you]

you're in~

[theotherright]

I'M GREEDY

Give me Won't Get Fooled Again for Crichton and Raft: The Prequel for 6 please!!

[be_seeing_you]

You got it!

[not_the_last]

*grabbyhaaaands* I WANT ONE OF EVERYTHING PLEASE

... ahem. More realistically, I'd love to have Cass visit Crichton in Nerve/Hidden Memory somewhere (possibly getting him out of The Chair?) and Max at the ball. I'm tempted by 6 as well but I don't know what would make for good story there.

[be_seeing_you]

She can probably pass herself off as a sebacean (maybe pretend to be a tech) so yeah! I'd love that.

I'll put her down for Max at the ball.

And I'd suggest Dance of the Dead for her with 6 because there's an interesting bit of a mock trial she could witness that might be fun considering the political conversation they are having. I'll put you as a maybe on that?
