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!

[her eyes widen with pleasant surprise; ...it? it. they! they are also a victim of this wonderland kidnap. she relaxes a bit, but she's still accepting that this interaction is quite unique]

Oh! Totally understandable. Would you like to sit down? I wouldn't mind a bit of interaction, myself. It can get pretty lonely here sometimes, you know. Especially with this 'eventful' disaster going on here. Hey, did you know that in some folklore, 'Hell' is where a person is sentenced to relive their worst moment over and over again for all eternity?

That's... [she sighs, and is too energized in the moment of company to fully realize just how much she's babbling on] in our rooms.

[forwearemany]

(They watch her for a moment before sitting at the table.)

Yes. (A simple answer to her rambling series of statements.)

This event also compells us to state facts regardless of desire to do so.

[seasonforpeaches]

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.

[forwearemany]

Yes.

(They answer her question, despite having already confirmed this.)

(Fortunately, they are more than happy to talk about their people: at home the Geth were feared. It is unusual to be confronted with such intense curiosity.

This organic does not seem to possesses the usual bias. Perhaps she will be more receptive to their truth.)

Geth are fully synthetic, we originate from the planet Rannoch, and were created by the Quarians. Now, however, we dwell on space stations, and create ourselves.

We are happy to speak of our people. We are ..."hopeful" that knowledge will help dispel fear.

We are Legion, a terminal of the Geth.

[seasonforpeaches]

[She just stares. Seemingly blankly, like a deer caught in a pair of headlights, but there is, in fact, quite a bit in her mind to sort through.]

Geth, huh.

[Her nod comes with a sense of approval.]

This is so cool. Oh-sorry, that just sorta slipped out. But you speak of fear... people - or... aliens? - they were afraid of you, the Geth?


(ooc: forgive me! I was having health problems, but things are getting back to normal ♡)

[forwearemany]

(OOC: It's fine I'm not exactly fast.)

Yes. Our creators tried to destroy us. We fought for self preservation. Now, we are feared.

(They chatter.)

Your reaction to us is unusual. It is appreciated.

[seasonforpeaches]

( ooc: not a problem - let's get you to at least 7 comments here! )

Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that.

[she sips her cold tea, clearing her throat as she puts the cup down]

Yeah, I have a, uh, thing for stuff like this. I mean, I'm talking to an AI. That's wild!

[forwearemany]

(ooc: I'm actually good on activity threads. If you need it though I can certainly help with that.)

Acknowledged. We had achieved peace with our Creators prior to our arrival in this location. We died for this caeuse.

(They chatter.)

We are a swarm intelligence. You are speaking to 1,183 A.I.

[seasonforpeaches]

( ooc: I'm good, as well! )

Wow. Oh my gosh, okay.

[PHEW]

1,183...? I feel like I have so many questions, but I don't even know where to begin! This is so cool.

[forwearemany]

(They chatter.)

"Cool" is an unusual descriptor. We will wait for you to determine which questions you find most relevant.
