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'm interested in some war crimes and Natsuno realizing his early worries were spot on because past!Jade would have dissected him. If others will be interested in a group thread I think it could be neat to have his boat friends trying to bullshit their way through the lab.

Also I really a want a short tour of the palace and meeting Cute Jade.

I'm so sorry Natsuno, turns out your new dad was a war criminal in all but official condemnation and used to be a dissection hobbyist too well he still is today honestly but dont worry about that ANYWAY

Alas that one time he spilled the beans about getting started on fomicry during the truth event still didn't actually cover the full scope of just how long and terrible his necromancer phase was....

But yeah a group thread does sound like it could be fun!! I'll float the idea on plurk too and see if other lab folks might like to join Natsuno, please help this kid navigate a mad science pvp zone rip)

Also Natsuno absolutely has to meet Cute Jade holy shit it's true...Grand Chokmah tour could def be a thing! Palate cleanser after the warcrimes :') Actually maybe Sail!Jade could accompany him here to help with navigating around without getting caught out...! It's amazing how people don't recognize you when you take off your glasses and pull up your hair a certain way and maybe wear something on your head... (Also this way he'd get inevitably roped into. Having to actually, explain, what's going on with Cute Jade lmao)

Omg please have Sail!Jade tour the palace with him and explain the rappigs. The Cute Jade merch's time is finally here
fonomena: (blackmailed into rappig babysitter tbh)

the wild dichotomy between sail!jade getting blindsidedly homesick the moment he realizes where they actually are + natsuno also probably discovering jade was apparently bffs with the fucking emperor of the country + the supreme embarrassment of the rappig nonsense coming to light...chef's kiss it's gonna be a perfect storm. natsuno gets to see a new range of emotions jade's barely ever tapped into in sail before probably LMAO
