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.

As we've discussed before I'd def love to throw Jade into the Cage and get him a moderately(???) better sense of just how weird that entire plane is/compare notes to what bits Fio's told him about in the past!

But also ugh Fio's death will never not be so sad to me and man...being able to prevent this would truly be a fix-it fic dream :'( Jade would certainly want to try, at least, if you do think you'd have the bandwidth for such a thread...!

Oh thank god and good luck to Jade... so much of this canon is only known by the player and I can't say a lot of things ICly!!!! He might be able to compare notes with Skulduggy later since he'll be poking around there too :) since you're canon familiar, do you have a preference where to drop off Jade? (You can let me know via Discord if you have ideas to avoid spoilers~)

And OH I was hoping you would be interested especially since Jade met Fio arriving right from that canon point...

Hopping to you on Discord rn hehehe :) God you're so right he and Skully really should get together with notes afterwards...will they be able to make more sense of that place with their powers combined, time to find out!! Gotta give Fio some kind of boost here poor girl sobs i just noticed that new pic you put in her journal profile IT'S A HARD LIFE FOR A LITTLE GIRL IN A BIZARRE ABSTRACT SINS-DIMENSION HUH...

Grips your hands I am most def interested in this (guaranteed extremely sad) time!! Jade sure is going to be putting the pieces together real quick...everything about how she was in the buffet that first time finally coming to clear light in the worst way possible rip
