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!

There he is!

[A dark haired man runs full-tilt down a corridor, but even as light as his armour is, it still seems to be slowing him down. In pursuit are three soldiers, likewise dressed in armour, but moving at a much faster pace. On closer inspection, the pace of the fleeing man is shown not to be due to the way he's dressed, but the heavy bag he's holding in front of him. Evidently, he didn't even have the time to throw it over his shoulder.

Nathaniel is somewhere he shouldn't be, and a good amount younger than anyone in Wonderland would have remembered seeing him. Almost ten years younger with his face filled with hurt and anger, he bursts through a heavy wooden door, out into a large, moonlit courtyard. He almost reaches the gate before he's caught, before a deftly fired arrow interrupting his bee-line path towards his escape forcing him to dodge and giving the soldiers chasing him the opportunity to close the distance. They tackle him to the ground, and he lets out a volley of curses that would put a Rivaini pirate to shame. Kicking and swearing, he's dragged back to the fort behind him.

The memory ripples, and the next moment refocuses on the inside of a jail cell. Nathaniel, now subdued but no less angry-looking, sits on the floor while a young woman speaks to the man on guard. Hatred is written across his face, almost tangible as he looks at her. As the cell door is opened, he stands.]

If it isn't the great hero, my father's murderer. [He spits out.] Aren't you supposed to be ten feet tall? With lightning bolts shooting out of your eyes?

[A conversation begins, and the memory begins to fade to nothing, before restarting from the beginning again. No matter what, the young man is always caught, and he always ends up in the cell.]
