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 DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE WOULD BE BEST but you KNOW i'm into some memory sharing with these two. i don't even know which way would be best, although i do like the idea of jade and skulduggery bullying his younger kid self in some way shape or form... especially him being a skeleton and all that's GOTTA be fucky

basically when the time comes, i would jump into any of these!!!!

skulduggery's skeleton self cropping up in pretty much any of these is 100% gonna be fucky in the best way no matter what. this coupled with skuls & jade child-bullying shenans would be splendid lmao, which does narrow us down to the three childhood options...! so between those three ig either kid jade doing his monster-hunting or adolescent jade on the daath pilgrimage would be the most viable bets...monster-hunting probably having the easiest potential bully hooks i'd imagine?? this child did not get chided enough for mucking around in creature corpses on the outskirts of town smh

and actually honestly even though i was leaning towards sail!jade not being present for the nebilim accident when i wrote this plot post, i could actually even envision dropping him in at a possible later point in the memory as opposed to him accompanying skully right away if we were to swing for that one?? since cruisie has confirmed chars can pop into the same memory and eventually bump into each other through different rifts/points on the map. one the one hand: fun occasion for skully to acquire the lore on jade's necromancer origins! BUT on the other hand: it'd probably be less fun bullying and more dramatic damage control for jade and skuls at that point too depending on how it unfolds haha ha, weighs hands...

tldr god i bet this actually hasn't been helpful to you in narrowing anything down at all lmao im so sorry....basically i'd be delighted with whichever one you decide to choose ok kelly!! these two are getting into memory adventures one way or another here and im sure it'll be beautiful
