It may very well be the worst thing that's ever happened to you! | OPEN MINGLE

Who: EVERYONE!
Where: EVERYWHERE!
When: Friday October 27th - Tuesday October 31st
Rating: PG-13, warn if you're gonna go higher!
Summary: A catch all for the Horrible Memory Truth Event!
The Story:

For the duration of this event, everyone's entire room will be replaced with a memory playing on loop. They will likely recognize the moment as soon as they see it – it is a moment they remember as the worst moment of their entire lives. It could be a memory from home or something that happened in Wonderland. Lengths of the memories will vary, but they will find that these are not memories they can merely watch – they can step into these memories and attempt to make changes to them, and the memories will be long enough that they have time to make changes (though no more than 24 hours). However, anyone who tries will find that it is futile. No matter what you do or how hard you try, the outcome is always exactly the same somehow. No changes you make will prevent that horrible outcome. It just happens over and over and over again no matter what you do.

On top of that, perhaps complicating any attempts to make changes, everyone will be forced to be honest for the duration of the event. No lies or half-truths are allowed, and filters will be gone for the entire five days. If something bothers someone then they will blurt it out, regardless of whether or not it hurts someone's feelings, and no one will be able to simply keep quiet when they have something to say. They must be truthful and honest with every word they say.

This is a catch-all log for all of your Worst Memory needs! Please mark your threads clearly in the subject line with your character's name and Room Number + Floor for character rooms, or just location if you're making a top level for a public place in the mansion (like the tea rooms or the kitchen) so people can see if there's already a thread available. And here's the plot post if you need it!

Have fun!

George will be thrilled. [He pauses.] Actually she's going to be pissed. Truth is one thing. Compulsory truth about apparently everything that comes to mind is gonna be something else entirely.
sonofab: (See?)

Damian's never cared for the opinion of others anyway. So it's cool!

[personal profile] sonofab 2017-11-06 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Not a nuisance to myself and that's what's important here. [Obviously.]

And are they all part of this SHIELD? [Damian sees Fitz trying to hold stuff back and having time to think. Maybe if he asks stuff faster and maybe tap into his emotional responses.] Do any of them have powers? Are they all as pathetic as you in combat? If so how is your world not blown up by now?
bravejemma: (sadness)

[personal profile] bravejemma 2017-11-06 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
It was.

[If Jemma considers it a misstep she doesn't say so -- which, all things considered, must mean that she doesn't. She does realize that Peter doesn't know about Will, and she'd inadvertently indicated him. But of course he doesn't know, how could he?]

I... there was a man there, already. An astronaut. His team had suffered from problems, he was the only one left. [The nature of those problems remained a bone of contention, Will insisting he knew what he saw, and Jemma unable to refute him except with the return insistence that scientifically, none of it made sense.] He'd been there for fourteen years.

So it seems.

[Somehow it's less amusing when he puts it that way, though. Natasha's smile fades to a slight, wry shadow.]

Because I'm an Avenger, or something else?

That last part definitely sounds like her. [Lois Lane is terrifyingly brave for someone who doesn't have superpowers and isn't Batman.] She just... I don't know. Terrifying? Not that terrifying people can't have kids.

No biggie, sis. [And it isn't. For a woman who could hold a grudge for decades, it doesn't take too much to earn her forgiveness. Besides, she'd been awful first. Lup will take the blame for their unfortunate first interaction. This one is on her.] It's behind us now.

[Of course, nothing quite prepares Lup from what falls from Toriel's mouth next.]

Holy shit! [And poor Toriel may look truly mortified by her admission, but Lup finally grins, beaming brightly across the small distance between them at the other woman.] You roasted my ass, but you're just as big a pyro as me. Admit it! I shoulda guessed there was a little projection going on.

THE REASON WHY...IT'S BECAUSE...BECAUSE...

[Once again, it seems like he himself was searching for the answer. Once again, his honest answer starts bubbling up inside of him and he can't contain it any more.]

IT'S BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU TOO!!!

[He falls silent for a while, before continuing.]

I KNOW THAT...I KNOW THAT YOU'RE THE ONE THAT KILLED ALMOST EVERYBODY IN THE UNDERGROUND. TAKING UP THE CROWN AND BECOMING A KING...THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME. SURE, THE KINGDOM LOVES ME AND MY SPAGHETTI AND MY SPEECHES, AND MY BROTHER'S ABLE TO WORK FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE, BUT...BUT I NEVER FELT SO LONELY BEFORE, EVER. AND...IT'S NOT JUST THAT.

[He looks on, not really focusing on anything.]

FRISK, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I NEVER HAD THAT MANY FRIENDS BACK IN THE UNDERGROUND. OF COURSE, I HAD UNDYNE AND I HAD MY BROTHER, BUT...THAT WAS ABOUT IT, REALLY. I THOUGHT THAT IN ORDER TO BE HAPPY, I HAD TO HAVE AT LEAST A MILLION FRIENDS.

WHEN YOU CAME ALONG HOWEVER, AND AFTER MY BOTCHED ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE YOU...AND THEN WHEN WE HUNG OUT AND YOU STARTED CALLING ME UP ON MY CELL PHONE, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT FRIENDSHIP IS MUCH MORE THAN HOW MANY FRIENDS YOU HAVE. IT'S ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU DO TOGETHER TO MAKE THAT FRIENDSHIP SPECIAL, EVEN IF IT MEANS SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS YOU CALLING ME UP WHENEVER YOU MOVE FROM ROOM TO ROOM. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I WAS ABLE TO APPRECIATE MY RELATIONSHIPS WITH UNDYNE AND MY BROTHER EVEN MORE. I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE THINGS THAT OTHERS WOULD SAY ARE INEXCUSABLE. BUT...


[He whips back, looking at Frisk in the eyes.]

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T WANT TO STOP BEING FRIENDS WITH YOU!! IF I STARTED HATING YOU AND WE WEREN'T FRIENDS ANYMORE, THEN...THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO!! I DON'T WANT TO HATE YOU, SO I'M NOT GOING TO!!!

[Dipper shrugs a shoulder and forces his hand down.]

Only if we're counting mental trauma. I mean, physically, yeah, a lot, but not recently, and I always bounce back.

[That cartoon character durability.]

Just can't erase the memories. Or stop talking about them when I really, really don't want to.

[personal profile] didntknowbest 2017-11-06 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Well. Lup may actually be much more reasonable than she thought! So... that's kind of a good thing about this event, then. So that's nice.

The rest isn't, though, because Toriel immediately feels an urge to try to defend herself, and she really wishes she didn't because that means now she has to talk about it. She wants to just nod and accept she made a mistake and not try to clarify, but she can't, and she just looks so annoyed, glaring at one of the walls as her mouth just spills that whole train of thought right out.]


Look- it just, it was not quite so simple as that description made it seem. I had died, right before being brought here, and the birthday party was for the child that killed me. I literally thought that I had arrived in Hell, and all these monsters trying to protect them, the way which I had mistakenly tried to do before they murdered me was some kind of ironic punishment or something. It was just. It was not a good time or place for me to arrive.
testcase: (Like I see you)

[personal profile] testcase 2017-11-06 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[After hearing that, she'll write another paragraph or so, and then cross out what she'd written before.]

So she really isn't like me. She just...pretends.

[That's a concerning thought. She's not sure if that's better than her mirror being like her or not, but it's still concerning. But there's one thing in there, that concerning or not, stands out more than the rest.]

And she doesn't need a notebook. So that means she remembers things.

krmvgivv: (must be pouring from my sweat glands)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2017-11-06 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I was hiding and hoping no one who cares about me would find me.

[He winces and shoves his book in his mouth to keep from saying anything else. THIS HONESTY THING SUCKS.]
krmvgivv: (make a wish on a firefly star)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2017-11-06 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right? [He sits up in spite of himself.] You forget to pay attention to me if I don't say your name twenty times per conversation! You charge into traffic for fun and think bearhugs mean hugging actual bears! But what am I supposed to do, let you get hurt? You're my sister! I have to look out for you.
morethan084: (notamused)

[personal profile] morethan084 2017-11-06 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Which, apparently is something people can't do right now anyway.

[Daisy had noticed that pretty quickly and it was making her anxious. Not that Daisy lied all the time, but there were definitely some things that she chose to keep to herself.]

What are you using?
krmvgivv: (he's as cool as they come)

[personal profile] krmvgivv 2017-11-06 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
No!

[It comes out with enough forced okay-ness that it's clear he was trying to say yes. Stupid event. Stupid truth. He slumps his shoulders, shoving his hands in his pockets.]

I mean, physically I'm fine. But my memories kind of stink.
determinedest: (* (An illustration of a hug.))

[personal profile] determinedest 2017-11-06 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Is it really that simple for him? Not wanting to hate them, and so...he doesn't?]

[That's the hardest thing about this, this unadorned honesty, this complete openness and unwanted truth spilling freely from everyone's opened mouths and opened hands. The hardest thing is knowing everyone means exactly what they say. There's no hiding from it, covering yourself in a shroud of an excuse that it must be a lie, that it must be.]

[Because they all mean it.]

[And he means it too. He just doesn't want to hurt them. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, no matter how much they might have hurt him in turn. And they don't - ]

[How are they supposed to handle that?]

[The words waver somewhere between a plea and a challenge when they speak again, wobblingly:]


Can you really just choose? Not to hate someone?
voidfished: (« [Squint] you know i dont want this rig)

[personal profile] voidfished 2017-11-06 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, here we go, this is happening. Unfortunately, Lucretia can't stop herself either, so they're just gonna keep going.]

I am in roughly the same position. My memories often bring up more questions than answers, and they're not often answers I can explain. Aside from the fact that I would rather address this sort of thing on my own terms, as oppose to having it dragged out against my will.

[She sounds pretty bitter, which, surprise! Is because she is very bitter.]

I don't think it's too much to ask to be able to keep a few secrets for the greater good.
determinedest: (* All you can do is FIGHT.)

[personal profile] determinedest 2017-11-06 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...

[Sorry?]

[It doesn't come out. Maybe they really aren't all that sorry. Or maybe they don't know enough to be? It's a lot harder to apologize in moments like this, it turns out. It turns out they don't always mean it.]


Did you lock your door?
adaptiveimmunities: (sound about right?)

[personal profile] adaptiveimmunities 2017-11-06 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's pretty fucking irritating. So I will try to avoid personal questions if you do the same.

[...And you wouldn't think that would be a personal question, but--]

A .40. It's my sister's.
voidfished: (« [Surprise] oh worm?)

[personal profile] voidfished 2017-11-06 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
She studies their face for a moment, searching for a sign of this being a joke, but despite herself, she's really, really trying not to smile. God, this place is buck wild, and she can't stop the next words, even if she'd like to make a better first impression.

"I'd like to say that's one of the most wild things I've ever heard, but I spent so long living with an absolute disaster squad it just sounds like business as usual. Where did you get the rocket launcher? Well, I suppose if the closets make anything-- did you just get it one day? I hope you know how to aim it."

She just. Slowly presses her hand onto her face after that. Goddamnit. "Well, that was close enough to what I wanted to say, I suppose."
morethan084: (sadsmile)

[personal profile] morethan084 2017-11-06 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'm totally good with that.

[Not that Daisy couldn't be personal, but, everyone had a limit.]

Cool. I usually go for a M2.0 compact.

[Which is exactly what she goes for today. Putting on her protective eye wear, Daisy was reaching for a pair of earmuffs when she figured she should introduce herself.]

I'm Daisy by the way.

"Chara found it in a chest underground during an event. They weren't as excited as I thought they were going to be, but I think that's because I died first."

They're rapidly learning how the logistics of this event works, and are also learning that it might be the worst possible time to be meeting someone new. She's going to form the worst impression of them to start with, but - but given the way they expect things to go, the way things generally go, wouldn't she form that impression of them anyway?

It's hard to know. Especially now.
punful: (tfw the pun makes them bust a rib)

[personal profile] punful 2017-11-06 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
we're both pretty good at avoidance.

[It'd be more harsh if it were anyone else, but Sans and Alphys have always been sort of...jokingly frank with each other. It works. Especially now.]

[He plunks down next to her.]


what episode?
voidfished: (« [Regret] survivor's guilt)

[personal profile] voidfished 2017-11-06 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Lucretia already looks desperate, clutching her journal to her chest in some form of comfort. Magnus... wouldn't hurt her. He'd never. He gets angry, sure, but--

She always can't help but jump to the worst conclusion. It's how she survives. So she straightens up, lets herself go serious. Push down your fear. Get through it.]


Magnus, I would tell you if I could, but I can't here. I always intended on telling you three when everything was done. You're my f͟͝à̛͝͞m̷̨͡į̨͜͜ļ҉̶́͡y͘͘.̧̕͟͜

[She doesn't even know if that's kept out, but considering their relationships were axed, it might be. She'd usually talk around it, but thanks to Wonderland, she can't. She can only barrel ahead.

Hah. How appropriate, for Magnus.]

Does it?

[she leans back in her seat]

Oh, brother. Not that I have anything to hide... I don't think. But enough about me. [the woman goes from a slightly grim demeanor to a straightened rod of chipper energy in seconds, and with no real transition] Tell me about yourself! I'm so interested in... [she rocks her hands back and forth in a gesture that acknowledges its form] all of this. I mean, who wouldn't be?

Where are you from! What's your name? Are you one hundred percent AI? Am I being too forward? Because I am suddenly just now realizing there may be something to your statement from before. I'm just... spitting out everything that comes to mind. More so than usual.

[Curled up against a plush cushion Evelyn rests her chin in her hand, watching him. Obligations are fickle, complicated things, and more often than not self-inflicted.

She should know.

A parent likes to think that by putting in the hours they can build a better world for their children. By investing so much of themselves, they can pay it into a coffer somewhere that a son or a daughter may access at a later date. Grow into. Grow out of. It's never quite enough to satisfy.

And did they?
