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!

... I am dead.

[R sighs out, then immediately pulls a face and knocks his head lightly against the wall behind him. Movement pulls animation and a facsimile of life into his body and he blinks, taking a breath he doesn't need simply for the sake of sighing while he straightens his posture and looks up at the boy.

He shrugs.]

D.. don't worry. [Sitting down for so long has left him feeling more than a little stiff, and he looks visibly uncomfortable as he eases himself up to his feet.] Not dangerous.

[sonofab]

[He's...dead? Is that something depressed teenagers say? No, with the truth gripping all the residence the guy couldn't really say he was dead if he wasn't... He backs up as the boy stands. His movements stiff and speech seems slow. Was he hurt? He didn't think this was that kind of event.]

Dangerous? No offense but you doesn't seem very deadly. Just...dead. Which--... So I'm talking to a Zombie? [Yeah, sure that made sense. He's talked to walking skeletons here and goat monsters, talking raccoons, so why not a zombie?]

[keephersafe]

[He clarifies only because most people's reaction to a zombie tends to be to point a gun at it. Granted, he's met a surprising number of people here who actually treat him like a real person, but every new encounter is treated with the same level of wariness until he knows he can let his guard down. So far, he's avoided getting shot. He'd like to keep it that way.]

Yeah.

[You're talking to a zombie. He tries to judge if Robin's reaction is something he should be worried about.]

[sonofab]

Huh... [Damian tilts his head, looking curious rather than afraid, but he's spoken to talking skeletons in this world and large goat monsters... all of which had been surprisingly friendly.]

Not really what I expected from a zombie.

[He does notice the searching look the creature is giving him.]

You say you're not dangerous... but you're looking at me like you want to bite. [He didn't have a gun. Damian wasn't really a guns person. He'd likely go for decapitation or a stab through the spinal cord, but lucky for you he isn't looking for any zombies to slay tonight... or any night really. You're the first he's met.]

[keephersafe]

I-I'm not.

[R is quick to protest, because he really, really has no interest in taking a bite out of this kid and if that's the impression he's giving then he should probably make some effort to rearrange his face. He takes a small step back as if to make his point and pushes his hands deep into his pockets. Despite his height and slightly disturbing appearance, he manages to look entirely awkward.

Damian might be fast, but so is he. If he lost his grip on his control and really wanted to bite him--.]

I-if I was g... going to... w-would have already.

[Not... normally what he would have chosen to say, but it forces its way out around his notable speech impediment.]

[sonofab]

[Is might be the dead look then that seems a little hungry but when the boy shrinks back, moving his hands into his pocket, it gives him a distinctly more timid look. This could obviously be a facade, but unless he attacks Damian will keep calm as well.

He raises a brow though at his words. A challenge perhaps?]

Kinda cocky for a dead guy. [He smirked and folded his arms. Though he supposed if one was already dead, how much more was there to lose?]

[He died once too but didn't stay dead, so he was pretty sure he didn't qualify as a Zombie. No matter how many poor jokes Todd made about them being the Zombie Robins.]

So you've found a way to curb your thirst for flesh? How'd you manage that?

[keephersafe]

[Shrug.

R isn't usually what one would call cocky - he's normally too timid for that - but he knows he has a less patient side, and a more vicious side, and as the months wear on and he is still being assumed to be some kind of brainless flesh-eater...

Let's just say it's getting old.]

... A friend.

[Really, he'd rather not say more. There is no reality in which he wants to tell anyone what Liv is, or the manner in which she's been helping.]
