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.

I mean, punching papa yuuki can segue into vamp attack if it's the last night. That memory will probably be all creepy and wobbly because he was only half conscious. Draw blood crosses and confuse the heck out of memory Tohru

sob I want them all too but I don't want to bite more than I can chew with this event either. I know at least ONE memory must be her changing events, but maybe she can just witness others?

the biting off more than can be chewed thing is VERY REAL AND VERY FAIR. i'm extra super content with this punching-blood cross idea, let's focus on that!

and we can handwave the rest. do it like some sort of "you're running in a dream but can never get to your destination in time" sort of deal to combat her desire to change his every outcome/save him.

Papa Yuuki leaves his dying son's room after opening the window for vampires, promptly gets punched by a blonde girl where all these westerners are even COMING FROM

And dream logic handwave sounds good! Let's indulge ourselves will emotional reaction tags

something something colonialism joke??? that feels tacky until i remind myself the sky people literally just dropped into the grounders territory and expected them to be cool with it, yikes.

BUT YES! this is good, this is all good! punch the papa, barge into natsunos room, pause for emotional moment at his sickbed, then set to messing up all the events! love you tohru but also fuck you.

and dream logic all the rest of the way! same for any of mine that you want in on without overloading ourselves c:
