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!

{{ CW: death, PG torture. Basically this clip, which needs its own CW for "ridiculous product placement" and "emotionally manipulative use of Stand By Me"}}

[It's the dead of night along a long pier. Five teenagers set out to fight a single woman, who seems to have some kind of magical ability. They attempt to fight her with numbers, but it almost seems one-sided against them. They trained, but not nearly enough. It's not long at all before they're defeated, restrained. Interrogated. The witch is looking for something and threatening them all in turn until the one identified as "Blue" blurts out the answer she seeks. She rewards this information by depositing him into the bay water and leaving him to drown.

The teenagers are released, scrambling to their fallen friend. They manage to retrieve him from the water, but by the time they pull him up, he's just a pale body with bulging eyes, too waterlogged to accept new air. He's dead. They've all let him die.

Jason will spend the better part of a day here, refusing to heed the advice from the network. He tries to not get caught (he's not quick enough). He tries to give up the information first so she'll take his life instead (she laughs in his face and chooses Blue again). He tries to react more quickly, to figure out how to do chest compressions, to keep his fragile friend from knowing what dying feels like.

Even after the first day, he'll return back to try, with less frequency. There's got to be something he could have done better. Hindsight is 20/20 and he's tired of losing friends.]
