Memory Share Plotting Post

[heromedal]

It's player plot time, baby!

As some of you may know Rex has recently cracked how to create life in the form of his Phantoms, artificial spiritual entities which he largely bases on existing people. You can find out more here!

In an attempt to gather more data to produce more and better Phantoms, sometime mid-July Rex will try casting a spell that will let him duplicate memories and when testing it on one person...

It won't work right! Big shocker!

What Will Happen

There'll be a white noise like sound for a few seconds, and suddenly everyone affected is releasing copies of their memories as floating, colour coded, immaterial marble sized orbs that if touched, cause the toucher to experience the memory and then disappear. This means each memory can be shared only once. They float around and actively attempt to latch onto people.

In an attempt to prevent it from being connected to him, about six hours after the event, Rex will be releasing an original model Phantom, named Mysterious Mischief Maker - Waggery, that will take on an impish trickster form and personality, going around gathering up as many memory orbs as it can while making cryptic comments about being responsible. If allowed to go about his merry way, Waggery will be done cleaning up in about three days.

There's not much to connect it to Rex on a surface level, being bizarre magic never before seen, but character actions and deductions can change everything so if you have alternative ideas for a conclusion feel free to put them below! It's entirely possible he won't have the chance to let out Waggery at all.

How the Memory Share Works

The spell is not working as intended, so its results are inconsistent- not everyone will hear the white noise and to those that do it will sound like it's coming from right beside them. When it stops, the spell works its magic. The orbs exit the body at high velocity, scattering them far and wide and in random trajectories. Once they slow down, they float around and slowly drift towards the closest entity capable of housing their memory. Memories are not lost when an orb is created- it is a copy and is experienced from the original person's perspective. The memory is experienced in real time, with the person going through it frozen in place. Conventional physical means cannot interact with the orbs, they pass through most matter, but just about any magic can be used to manipulate them. Destroying an orb with magic causes a jumbled mess of sensations from the memory to those in the vicinity.

They come in a variety of colours. Suggest more below if you like- claim a colour and an emotional connection first and everyone else has to use it!

Gold- Pure bliss. A life-changingly positive perfect moment.
Black- Absolute horror. A life-changingly negative traumatic moment.
Red- A memory of anger.
Blue- A memory of sadness
Yellow- A memory of fear.
Green- A moment of joy.
Grey- Neutral.
Pink- Love
Orange- Regret
Purple- Pride
Etc.

Aside from the colour, no other indication of the orb's contents is given unless it's experienced.

Waggery's deal

Waggery takes the form of a child-sized humanoid dressed in rags with a vaguely skull-like cloth mask and a backpack that looks a little like a lil' skeleton is being given a piggyback ride. Waggery has no offensive options beyond slapping people with the strength of a child but is a highly mobile flyer and has a few tricks to slow pursuers down or help him slip away. Waggery has been programmed to escape attempts to catch him rather than fight, gather as many orbs as it can find and to maintain the illusion he's some weird magical trickster, play the occasional prank on people. Waggery can also do a small, one person version of the memory spell, just in case he has to "prove" it was him. Waggery is not designed for combat, so pretty much anyone who can catch him can destroy him if they're inclined. To magical senses, he'll probably be identifiable as a spiritual being of some kind but what exactly is impossible to discern, being something brand new not seen in the supernatural world before.

What's next?

This plot is meant, but not guaranteed, to lead into another one later on where Rex tries another mass Phantom production method resulting in copies of people that match their self-perception start turning up.

Rex won't be snooping into Waggery's stolen memory orbs (if he gets away with any) unless you have an interesting suggestion about that.

Comments

Questions-

[heromedal]

[nor_iron_bars]

Do people who touch the orbs experience the memory from the perspective of the person who it belongs to, or do they watch it from a third-person point of view? If the former, do they also hear the thoughts and/or feel the emotions they were having at the time?

Colour/emotion suggestions-

[heromedal]

[highelves]

Pink - Love?

Rex/Waggery planning-

[heromedal]

Rex will be affected by the original magic because he can't do anything without it exploding in his face, so his memories will be up for grabs. There are a shocking number of golden orbs from him, because he considers every single memory with his mother to be pure gold and when it hits her death there's a lot of black.

Especially interested in people getting to see what his mom was like and wondering how he turned out the way he did. Lots of being a dirty crime boy, eating mud to stop his stomach dissolving, fighting things, etc. Also very open to people getting to see the really embarrassing moments where he's helped someone and they've been nice to him.

Like I say, I'm open to people working out Rex is responsible if it makes sense. Hit me up here as well if you want a Waggery encounter.

[transfusionem]

I want to see that Good Shit.

[highelves]

for the event, i plan on having several different types of memories for my muses.

ana will have a wide variety of orbs with a range of different colors: red for when she found out her dad was in a crime ring, blue for when her mom left and she got thrown onto the streets, green for getting accepted into daybreak... and if there's one specifically for love, she'll have several of those. one orb for her mom, one for her guardian after living on the streets, and one for all of the friends she's made here at daybreak (as reluctant as she is to call y'all her friends in the first place). she's going to absolutely hate the love-based ones floating around, god.

ruby will have green orbs for when she gets accepted into daybreak. green/love for her mom and dad, weiss, lia...all her friends here, too. meeting everyone means so much to her and she'll have fond memories of all of her friends. but...there will also be a lot of red/blue when it comes to her time in regular school, so.

asami (CW: parental death) will primarily have red and blue orbs for her mother's murder, her father's vehement denial of how her mother died, and her father's mistreatment before asami ran away. however, she'll also have green for when she started learning runes, joining the garrison, and getting into daybreak academy.

[transfusionem]

OH BOY, MEMORIES.

Adelaide will be hit by this, of course, and have...perhaps a shocking number of red, blue, and yellow memories! She will also have at least two black memories - one of her being turned into a vampire, and another one I'm not going to specify yet. Gotta keep the mystery alive! I'm down for sharing all sorts of things, but I'd rather the black memories go to close-ish CR.

Hieke will have all sorts of memories with all sorts of colors, ranging from gold to black and everything in between. If you want to see a bit of his past, there'll be something there. A lot of it will involve his time as a daemon making contracts, too, so if anyone wants to get suspicious of him, that's cool, too.

Lance has a bunch of really mundane memories, but if you want to see a loving, supportive family, it's there for you.

[heromedal]

I think possibly showing Rex how sad/unloved Adelaide felt in her normal life would have a really big impact on how he sees her and how hard he'd try to make her happy, maybe even more than trauma.

[nor_iron_bars]

So, I'm thinking of having Jail hit by this, if other people want to see some stuff from her. Possible options include:

-that time she got buried alive
-the time her familiar, Althea, died
-past absurd criminal shenanigans
-one or more of her particularly weird ex-girlfriends

[spelleton]

LIKE WE DISCUSSED i definitely want to do the whole "seeing the same location from two different perspectives and going ?????? at each other" thing!! though really the bigger question is going to be "ekkehardt why were YOU there"

[onebetter]

James is going to be radiating some normal as fuck memories. He's your guy if you want memories of:

-going to the mall with friends
-asking out your first girlfriend and getting a confession back
-studying hard as hell at home while feeling a lingering fear of not living up to your father's expectation
-watching horror movies with friends and feeling like there is a thick glass wall between you and them, because you live in a different world...................

I'll gladly write out custom memories here, too, like... if you can picture if happening in an Arizona small town life, James might have got the memory for you.

[stavros]

did someone say family expectations and/or cow tipping

[moonlitdancer]

Serena will have mostly grey memories, there hasn't been a lot of her life she's had strong feelings on one way or another. Every now and then there will be some green floating around, as well as some blue.

Weiss will have a lot of blue red and yellow, with one memory in particular being half red and half blue. There will be a few green ones floating around, but they'll be vastly outnumbered by the negative memories. There will be a handful of pink ones too, but notably they're all about her older sister and the family butler, not her actual parents.

[caduceusoncall]

slams fists on table: MEMORY EVENT!!

Mercy will have one black memory, a few blue memories of times when she couldn't help people and of her time in the foster care system, and many green memories of joining various schools and successfully helping people. The black memory will be her earliest one: Of losing her parents to daemons! So that's fun. I don't mind who it goes to, but be warned there will be violence, parental death, probably some gore descriptions...it's not a pretty one, folks.

Akko will have exclusively golden memories of her time at Luna Nova. She's perpetually happy as fuck about all of that. Most of her memories will revolve around someone named Chariot.

Jill has a lot of mundane memories. One black, one red, maybe a spattering of grey memories. The black one will be the memory of being turned. The red one, her last argument with her ex, and the grey ones are all just various memories of bar patrons that left an impression on her.

[unpocoloco]

Hmm I'm not sure how extended I'll be and you might prefer closer CR or what have you, but I'd be up for Jill memories if there's a chance for it.

[marmoron]

ALRIGHT, editing this whole thing to sort by memory colors since I've decided on throwing Keith into this mess after all. I would prefer that it's closer CR that get the more negative/traumatic memories or at least for memories of a similar level of angst to be exchanged if that makes sense.

Black- His first transformation into a wolf which ended in a near death experience
Red- transitioning to life at orphanages and group homes, getting his knife stolen at the orphanage/his first major fist fight, getting into a fist fight with James at high school
Blue- his dad's funeral, changes in his life past his dad's death, kids at elementary school asking why his mom never comes to pick him up, the conversation he had with his dad on the ghost train during spirit tracks
Yellow- getting jumped by Jolyne and being forced to use fire on her (for context his dad burned to death in a fire), fear of being sent to juvenile detention following an incident at the orphanage
Green- finding Cosmo, moments with friends at Daybreak, finding his dad's old motorcycle at his cabin and riding around in the desert, getting into daybreak, dancing with James at prom, early childhood memories of his dad and pet scorpion, perhaps some veeery crusty memories of being hugged by his mom (who is btw pretty alien looking)
Purple- managing to lose the cops while they chased him around the desert canyon on his motorcycle, taking down the death knight in the herald fight

[fireindreams]

Grimm will have three positive memories: his first performance on stage with the Grimm Troupe and fighting his predecessor during the Ritual for green memories and a gold memory regarding actually speaking to the Nightmare King properly for the first time. However Grimm will also have two black memories, the first is when he caused the death of his family as a child because he could not control his Flame and the second is the conclusion of the Ritual, where he had to carve out his heart to replace it with the Nightmare Heart.

Finally there will be one memory from the Nightmare King himself. This red memory details his last stand against his old Clan, the Moth Tribe, and the reveal that it was a vision he showed Grimm at one point, among other things.

Nekane will have three black memories that shaped their current self in the future. Namely the betrayal of their Handler when they tried to escape the cult they were once a part of, the removal of their eyes and fusion with Adomaitis. There will also be a blue memory that deals with the death of their boss and a green memory related to one of the few people they do actually care about.

All three black memories deal with torture, abuse and body horror as a warning.

[unpocoloco]

Time to meet the friend of a friend of a friend??? Definitely up for that red memory. Héc will be a little spooked.

[evangelclairvoyance]

I would love to share and be shared with!

Avery is going to have a bunch of black, red, and blue memories floating around with a couple pink and grey. Options are:
- Cute couple times with Vanessa
- Vanessa throws away the nice purple tunic he got himself when he isn't looking
- Getting thrown in the dungeons
- Getting a nice happy little visit from Vanessa in the castle dungeons
- Devouring the daemon that gave him his powers
- and Pulling himself free of the castle to find Subcon Kingdom very cursed

On the more lighthearted side, there's also him stealing mail, sneaking out of the forest to watch a rock concert, and an attempt to sneak onto a cruise ship by shoving himself in luggage that didn't go well.

Christo's are pretty basic, save for the fact that most of the people in them are angels. And that he doesn't seem to have a single friend in any of them. In fact, most of the people around him seem to just tolerate his presence. Barely.

[nor_iron_bars]

I'm legitimately torn between the two of them getting to see more serious sides to each other and 'Jail And Avery Trade Dumbass Adventures'.

[fistsofchange]

Bai Lin:
- Yellowish green: spying on martial arts classes as a child
- Gold: the first time she managed to pull off the cloud body technique
- Black: getting kicked out of her temple
- Blue: the defeat of Warlord Kong
- Red: coming back to her temple
- Green: flirting with Jailbreak

Kohaku Yuhara
- Super Black: daemon attack on her middle school
- Green: the first time she got asked out
- Red: the nineteenth time she got asked out
- Yellow: training with Ako
- Yellowish Green: boarding a plane from Tokyo to Paris to go to Daybreak
- Gray: eating a sandwich for lunch in the Daybreak cafeteria two days ago

What do all these memories entail? You’ll have to wait and see!

[nor_iron_bars]

Aww. Jail would be super flattered to find out she was a positive memory, there. Though it might be more fun to have the two of them find out things they didn't already get to see in person.

[hattersgonnahat]

Puella: Despite the lack of confidence as of late, most of her orbs will be greens, a few pinks, and at least one gold (Either when she first learned magic exists or getting accepted into Daybreak).
Greens include:
- Finding a star map
- Getting an umbrella from Valvatorez
- Getting to see spirits around campus!
- Fixing the Dweller Mask
- Surviving Completing Mar10
- Pillow forts!/Learning guitar and teaching Teto about runes
- Star gazing
etc

Pinks:
- Any cute moments with close CR
- Family stuff

2 Optional Blacks:
- Getting cornered by a daemon in the Kagerou Daze plot
- Burning Héctor with Radiance for the near millionth time



Emizel: Would have far less, but there will be at least one yellow orb from a time long ago when he was rescued from a group of daemon hunters (and by somebody he hates now 8D). And also a really unique memory of his father that fluctuates because pink and blue.

[fireindreams]

The star gazing memory sounds like something cute Grimm and Puella could bound over, and Grimm has a green memory of him performing for the first time with his Troupe she could find.

And if you are interested in Puella learning why Grimm is so insistent on her learning how to properly control her Flame, there is the black memory of how Grimm lost his family because he couldn't control his.

[ahew_kha]

Oh shit, I'm here bringing the pain train.

Kisara
- Pink: Tiny little white/blue dragonet exploring the Outlands with a doting much larger dragon of the same colors following
- Yellow: Her journey from being a huge honking dragon to a human and the travel to Egypt, very particularly her not remembering shit when she gets there
- Red: Basically scenes of her getting stoned or tormented by the people of ancient Egypt proper
- Gold: Meeting a suspiciously familiar (to two, maybe) brown haired boy after being freed from a cage surrounded by thieves
- Red: Who wants to see Aknadin being a prick and tormenting her to make the dragon appear?
- Gold: Reuniting with that suspicious boy that's now very clearly a priest and taking care of her
- Black: HEY, YOU WANNA SEE A DEATH?

The rest I'm leaving off, the Egypt stuff is more important

Jolyne
- Green: WHO WANTS TO SEE TINY JOLYNE BEING ADORABLE?
- Yellow: Various fights between her parents, all verbal, with tiny/child Jolyne being not in the same area of that
- Red: Someone finds out about a divorce and blames their dad oops
- Black: GUESS WHO KINDA STOLE A CAR ON ACCIDENT AND ENDED UP IN JAIL
- Red: Her dad's a prick and refuses to help, says she totally did the thing that she didn't mean to do
- Black: MOTORCYCLE GANG TIME
- Pink: Something something self repenting and going straight, dating a blond boy who's named Romeo
- Black: Who wants to see a hit and run that is very clearly not her doing?
- Red: PRISON TIME, BITCHES
- Red: Hey also you know that whole Romeo thing? Yeah, she kinda cut his tongue out with her strings. This is very much a recent memory.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Okay, let's bring a few things for Sherlock and Ky

Sherlock Holmes aka "Arthur Bell"
-Blue/Yellow: Hiding behind the curtain with another man, watching a woman in mourning clothes shoot a man dead and crush her heel into his face.

-Black: Laying on the shore of a river, immense, crippling pain in back, before an older man appears and bites the viewer, painfully transforming them into a vampire.

-Black: The old man with the iron-gray hair and blood-red eyes forcing Sherlock to bite into a young man that's been tied up and is clearly frightened. The memory's owner remembers a twisted joy from the taste of blood, and then manages to stop himself before he ends up killing the young man. The older vampire throws Sherlock across the room and approaches the young man when the vision goes dark.

-Pink: A man in his mid-40s is sitting in a Victorian-style setting room, calling Sherlock over, before suddenly pulling him down by the lapel of his robe into a kiss, clearly taking the man by surprise.

-Green: A childhood memory involving a heavy-set teenage boy coming into a living room with a wiggly beagle puppy.

Ky Kiske
-Gold: Being knighted, and feeling a moment of just knowing his purpose

-Gold: The first sunrise he saw over Jersusalem.

-Yellow: More blurred flashes, involving a red light that gives off a 'holy' quality, pain, and latin chanting that the viewer will understand as a prayer to be forgiven for their trespass

-Green: A young girl dressed as a boy with her hair cut short looking up, trying her first citrus ever, just looking delighted, and hugging her brother.

-Red: A man that looks like a somehow even more handsome version of Ky is in the robes of a priest, when a pregnant woman comes in, clearly the bishop's lover. Ky is exasperated and the two have an argument over his behvior.

[lastexit]

Oh man I kinda want Maya to get the knighted one, just so Maya can experience knowing a real purpose.

[stavros]

Kokoro will have a few, among them:
-Black: Seen from the level of a small child, a group of adults telling her that her brother didn't come back from the prophesied battle he'd gone off to.
-Grey: Practising throwing axes at targets as a kid and being told to improve her aim.
-Yellow: Her first day at Daybreak as a child.
-Green: Singing karaoke with a group of girls her age.
-Red: ...that post that went up at prom the other week. The Anaconda one.

[heromedal]

I'm thinking that Rex getting the Black one could be interesting- he's got a big prophecised role in saving the world and feels like he's gonna die doing it so it's a surefire way to get a reaction out of him.

[spelleton]

Ekkehardt is going to have...a bunch of green, some grey, and a few pinks, with a few black ones scattered around, because he's like that. Mostly his memories will be confusing because at least a bunch of them will be from when he was alive and had no real healing at all.

Green:

- Various memories from growing up/mastering his powers/playing with his dog/babysitting children. 'Discrepancies' include some use of his former powers (barriers, only minor healing) and being entirely preoccupied with being a tutor, not a healer.

- There's a few Daybreak memories scattered in here of the 'quiet pleasant contentment' variety. Particularly close CR might recognise themselves (or someone else). At least one memory of being a petty asshole to Avery made it in here. Friend...ship..?

Grey:

- Attending various social functions in various guises. Since it's from his point of view, the discrepancies are less obvious, but his voice is often different (if he talks at all) and passing mirrors or reflective surfaces in the memory might mean catching a glimpse of whatever his current disguise is (which could look like anyone).

- In several memories, he passes a mirror as himself. The reflection is obscured or distorted in some way. There might be a faint feeling of frustration if he looks directly at it.

Pink:

- Spending time around his kids/his mentor and her sister/his masters/pretty much anyone he grew up with.

Black:

- Several snapshots of being tortured. They are short, violent, and distorted almost to the point of abstraction. Ekkehardt's voice can sometimes briefly be heard, mostly weeping or screaming, but occasionally begging to be killed or for it to stop. Much clearer is the voices of the people who tortured him, who are clinical about the whole process.

- One childhood memory of hiding somewhere dark, trying not to breathe too loudly. The sounds of magic going off and bodies heavy objects hitting the floor is extremely clear.

Vivi's memories are generally pretty positive! A lot of them will reflect his experiences at Daybreak, because he feels so strongly about it. Close CR might show up more than once, but pretty much everyone he's met will feature in positive-feeling memories.

Otherwise, his memories generally trend neutral - meeting strange things or strange people in the Outlands. Little snapshots of his journey before coming to Daybreak, etc.

[opheliaafterdeath]

Two people getting to know each other through memories of being tortured is healthy, right? I have Nekane's memory of losing their eyes Ekkehardt can have for fun and profit. And if you're also up for it, Nekane does have one positive memory that Vivi could find too.

Would there be any of Grimm's you'd be interested in?

Héctor

[unpocoloco]

Got a whoooole bunch here. Feel free to jump at any you like. You're free to more than one.

Gold; Singing to a daughter.
Gold; holding an infant baby for the first time.
Black; Waking up from death as a skeleton buried in the Outlands.
Black; dying [reserved for Avery]
Black; (to confirm with Rex mun first) good old torture scene with Rex floating over preforming it.
Red; A hunter and you shout about the secrecy. They're being lenient but you argue anyway that it's just one letter, that it's for family.
Blue; hanging with the homeless.
Blue; A smaller skeleton is settled nearby. Their bones glow and go to dust, leaving nothing. (Multi variant)
Yellow; Running from hunters and Outland monsters with a pack of skeletons. Bad things happen. (multi)
Yellow; Waking up in a morgue (multi to 2)
Green; Sitting around an Outland encampment, a fire burns. There's singing and stories and laughter, all come from the skeletons sitting there. One that you call Tío ruffles your hair and asks for a song. Another chimes in for a song called Juanita. They all look and act like a family. (+ shorter/other goofy skele memories?)
Green; Another man sings and dances along as you play. He's not related but there's love as though he is.
Green; A teenager four years older talks and laughs with you, making plans for the future, making you feel like you're something special, important, loved, and not just a street urchin. (Multi?)
Grey; Escaping the Outlands after years.
Grey; Preforming for a big happy crowd with the man from before but wishing to be home.
Pink; A teenage girl is having her quinceñera. You play in the band, giddy for the invite, staring at her. She offers a dance.
Pink; A woman sings, you play, a little girl dances. The singing and playing is only interrupted by scooping the girl up and dancing with both her and the woman.

Other idea??? I'm up to hear it!

[inkedspell]

I need a Héctor memory for Sarona! I don't even care which one, so you can totally pick for her.

YUYA

[hippocarnival]

MEMORIES HECK YES

Yuya's going to have stuff floating around! His memories will come with the feelings he experienced attached to them, and he's got memories from all over the color scale so if someone specifically wants Black/Pink/Etc etc I'm honestly open to anyone seeing anything Yuya's experienced--both pregame and since the game has started! Since it's one per person I'll probably just customize the experience every tag in BUT I will prioritize requests for specific memories!

And the handy list of important memories that happened pregame for people less familiar with his backstory:

- The day Gongenzaka nearly murdered him (this one's obvs super traumatic and CW CW)
- Points of being hospitalized for a year after that and the recovery (also, bad)
- When his dad went missing and he and his mom had to cope with an accept that
- Summoning Odd Eyes
- MEMORIES FROM WHEN HE WAS ZARC hello, hello
- there are pregame happy memories in here somewhere

I think there's enough excitement from Yuya's life so far (or just, like poignant things I can make up) that people can request getting multiple hits.

[unpocoloco]

I'm not sure which to go for but I definitely want some Yuya memory. Always up for sads and surprises in particular.

[arcadianvampire]

So I'm gonna have some fun ideas mostly for Valvatorez here, though I do have some good ones for Gunvolt too.

Valvatorez's list of memories is quite long and diverse. Remember, he's over 2,500 years old, so there's *quite* a lot kicking around in there. Some highlights include:

Black: Seeing Artina be stabbed and bleed out in his arms. I mean, there's no question there.

Red: Notable occasions include fighting against scummy daemons who don't know the meaning of pride. Humans stepping beyond their bounds and messing with daemonic powers they shouldn't. Students using daemonic summoning circles and accidentally summoning him. Arguments he gets into with academic peers who reject his findings on sardines. His encounter with the general prior to the Xelvak fight. That time a magical-themed newspaper did an article about him but it had a big obvious typo in it that went unfixed. There are plenty more and can be pretty much made up on the fly.

Blue: Seeing the collateral damage war caused in the human world and the toll it took on innocent life in his post-Tyrant age. Karaoke night with him singing a sad song that totally wasn't about Artina, shut up. The death of his first pupil, fortunately of old age, but someone Valvatorez still outlived regardless. The memories of other heroes he trained that died, either on the battlefield or by natural causes.

Green: Enjoying the taste of human blood. Particularly infamous points of his Tyrant career where he spread fear like a boss. His first taste of sardines while suffering from extreme hunger after refusing to drink human blood. Teaching his first hero after his fall as a Tyrant. Teaching many heroes over time. Coming to Daybreak. Teaching all sorts of lessons at Daybreak. Every graduation at Daybreak Academy he was present to see. Spending time teaching and helping students, new and old. Bantering with fellow staff, grad students, and more. (Odds are, if there's pleasant memories/CR between them and Val, it can show up) A boat trip to picturesque Sardinia where he's fishing. That time he went to a Queen concert. A moment during his Tyranthood that he faced off against a particularly powerful daemon, Emizel's father, Death King Hugo, and fought him to a standstill. Receiving a letter of thanks from Médecins Sans Frontières for a generous donation along with writing a reply turning down any public shows of appreciation, requesting instead put that money and effort toward their good work.

Gray: Various miscellaneous busywork he's done over the years where it's been particularly memorable for being dull.

Pink: Much like Toki's vision of it, a vision of Artina while she was alive on a beautiful day in the warm sun where she looks right at him and calls him "Mr. Vampire."

Gunvolt
Gold: The day Asimov met with him in an orphanage in Germany, asking him if he was willing to join him in QUILL, effectively adopting him.

Red: Being picked on in an orphanage in Japan at a young age for having blonde hair; GV pushes his tormentor to the ground, who then cries and gets him in trouble. Getting accused of cheating when using his runic soccer ball for the first time in the German orphanage. One of the many times Maple pranked him while they lived together in the same dorm room.

Yellow: Being moved from the Japanese orphanage to one in Germany shortly after the memory listed under "red" for reasons he didn't understand. Arriving at Daybreak after departing QUILL. ...Seeing Nana cut the head off a daemon rather viciously and brutally the first time.

Blue: Saying goodbye to Moniqa and Zeno before coming to Daybreak. The conversation he had with Nana after the Spring Dance where he admitted he didn't know how to be "normal."

Green: Asimov teaching him how to control his powers. Asimov teaching him how to shoot. Getting extra lessons from Professor Ky. Going suit shopping and getting dance lessons from Coach Bowser. Spending time with friends here in Daybreak (pretty much any of his positive CR can see themselves in these). One of those times he and Maple actually got along with each other while living together. Playing video games with Zeno. Playing video games with his CR here. Successfully modifying his gear and equipment as his skills progressed (especially that time with the Naga setting working). Going to Prom and lighting up the floor with lightning as he danced.

Pink: Hearing the Jpop-idol Monarch sing for the first time. Shut up.


Those are just the ideas that came to me as we went. Let me know if any of these interest anyone?

[buddinghopes]

Memory share? Yes please.

Most of Lia's tend towards green or gray (her life's been largely unremarkable, so lots of mostly mundane and happy memories!! Which could be fun to see for other people, admittedly, let me know if you're interested!)

There will also be a gold memory of her joining the Peacekeepers..... and a number of yellow ones, which will mainly consist of narrowly-avoided "accidents" that turn out to not be so accidental...

[heartofasamurai]

MEMORY SHARE. One of my favorite events, yes!

SARONA GAYLE
Gold - (1) Anyone want a memory of baby Sari making her first golem? (2) Or the day that the Inkmetal Forge agreed to let her join them and take her back to Michigan. (3) Her first rune tattoo, the one on her chest and the transformation in feeling healthy for the first time in her life.
Black - (1) The time her brother locked her in a small, dirty, windowless tool shed in the middle of a California heatwave. (2) The time she went into an asthma attack by herself in a hallway and no one opened their doors to check on her despite her knocking over a very loud, metal statue.
Red - (1) Memory of Sarona watching her brother wreck an entire collection of golems she had been making as Christmas gifts for her family. The first time her hurt and fear from his bullying turned into a fullblown rage.
Blue - (1) The funeral for her guild leader from a few months back. (2) Or the time her mother threw away her inscription notebooks she had been trying to show her and told her they were worthless.
Yellow - (1) Her first day going to a real school at seven years old after being homeschooled due to her poor health.

Imelda, Count D

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Imelda is going to have a wide range of memories that are... pretty typical for a headstrong girl growing up in a mage family and then getting married and starting her own family. There's a couple really good ones in there, but not really any super tragic ones. Her most negative memories have been slowburn ones that are more of a recurring theme than a singular point in time.

I've made a list of some possible memories here:

• Gold; Getting married to the love of her life
• Gold; Seeing her husband holding her daughter for the first time
• Red; Throwing her husband's things out, her daughter being upset, a very bad argument ensues
• Purple; Telling her parents off about not approving of the non-magical boy she likes
• Pink; Inviting the boy she likes to her quinceñera because he's the only one she's excited to see
• Blue; Her daughter is waiting by the window for her husband to come home, trying to distract her with learning magic
• Blue; Waking up and remembering that her husband is gone, feeling crush and lonely and forgotten, only getting up when she hears her daughter at the bedroom door asking about breakfast
• Pink; Her daughter's birthday party, her twin brothers doing something silly, and her watching and smiling at her family
• Purple; Summoning Pepita for the first time

But I can also work some more mage stuff in if someone wants it, or anything she's experienced at Daybreak!



For Count D... Some of his memories are kinda gruesome, some are weird, some are highly questionable. He has a really varied past, so I've writen down some examples of stuff. If you really want a memory from D, but nothing piques your interest here, let me know and we'll work something out!

• Various memories that involve some really gory deaths
  • Grey; Hanging up on old man pleading for his grandkids lives after the pet he was sold started attacking them
  • Red; Summoning a tiger from a painting to maul a man to death
  • Pink; Offering to break a "man" accused of serial murder out of jail
• Various other questionable (but less gory) things...
  • Grey; Taking a young girl from her family and replacing her with a dog
  • Red; Breaking into a research facility to steal DNA samples
  • Purple; Releasing an endangered bird from the roof of his building during an avian flu scare
• Some memories in which he's not actually doing morally questionable things
  • Blue; Hearing the story of his ancestors as a young child
  • Green; Searching for/finding a kappa
  • Green; Sitting in a lush jungle, enjoying the company of a bunch of animals
  • Varies; Traveling around the human world with his grandfather

I am not sure what memory Maya should get of Imelda's, but she should get one.

I imagine something to do with the aftermath of Hector's death would probably give Maya some much needed perspective.

Mav will not be having any orbs appear unless there's a specific memory you want yours to see, but I am very, very open to odd bonding after he accidentally sees another person's memories. He's not Great at it, though.

Wist, once Waggery takes credit and they don't have to worry about getting blamed for this memory magic nonsense (FEEL FREE TO CONFRONT THEM ABOUT IT THOUGH), will be, uh...getting a little lost. They love indulging in this sort of thing, memories are great, but unfortunately the sharing will be disorienting enough that oftentimes they won't know for sure who, what, where, or when they are. Because if this, they'll sometimes be looking like a young girl or some sort of impish creature with a tail.
Memory possibilities from them:
Black: Attending a burial service with their human "parents". When they learned the purpose of the casket, terror overtook them and they caused a panic. As punishment, they were locked inside their bedroom for several days with no interaction or food while they screamed and sobbed until eventually they were too exhausted to carry on.
Blue: Returning to their "parents'" house after they were swapped back with the stolen daughter for a happy family visit, but being rejected at the door.
Yellow: Getting the magical sensation of the child versions of Héctor and Avery getting injured in a car accident, and "following" that feeling back so they could tell Héctor where they were to help them.
Orange: Telling Shuuya that he wasn't meant to stay at the end of the childself event, but that he was a memory that had to go back to living inside Kano.
Pink: Having Héctor tell them over the network that if someone got to know them, he's sure they would love them, and responding with their opinion that Héctor is a good dad.

They've had a long life, so there will also be many instances of:
Blue: Trying to play with village kids but being ignored or abandoned. Hearing news of other changelings' deaths when their "families" rejected them violently or abandoned them.
Pink: Short scenes of bare minimum "familial" bonding, like being asked to get something, being served food, being wrapped in a blanket. Sometimes singing happened. They aren't real displays of love, but it's what Wist feels about them, oops.
Green: Adventures with Poe and random kids, often in the guise of a stray dog or a mysterious forest child. Trying out various new foods.
Yellow: Getting trapped in various rooms. Having cats cross their path.
Purple: "Helping" humans, with or without magic, both as an adult and as their "daughter" persona in the village. Whether or not they were actually helpful is...debatable.

Notably, despite the high number of memories and their generally jubilant demeanor, there are no gold orbs from Wist.

ngl, I kind of want Avery to find that yellow memory of them helping out his younger self so he can (very) begrudgingly thank them later.
