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!

[Does it count as "fitting" when it basically just grows over his head?]

I think that's a good idea on both sides. Better than worrying about how much I might tell you about Billy's death.

[He winces visibly, clenching his jaw.]

Not you. Just -- it would be helpful if you didn't ask questions either.

[actualwizard]

[ It still fits him, doesn’t it?]

Well if you want to go see another Billy die just walk into my room; front row seats and everything. [ Thank you a Wonderland for that. ]

[ He’s about to agree to no questions when he pauses, there has been a question on his mind when it comes to Jason...]

Sure, but first. When I say Red Ranger what does that mean to you?

[stereotypicaljock]

[The bottom drops out of his stomach then. He does his best to stay cool, to shut down and let the accusation fly over him. He can do this. He doesn't need to lie, just find a way around confirming it. Just downplay it. The connection might not be there.]

It means everything.

[THAT IS NOT HOW DOWNPLAYING WORKS, SCOTT.

His lips press together, and when he speaks next his tone is substantially lower.]

How much do you know?

[actualwizard]

[ Well. That confirms it. ]

I don’t know. In my world Power Rangers is a tv show. I recognized your armor, then I️ recognized your name and I sorta put two and two together. You don’t look like the tv show Jason though, so somethings are definitely different.

[stereotypicaljock]

A -- TV show? About us. [Is this the event? Because Billy's breaking his brain a little.] But how -- nobody knows about what happened. Nobody even knows my crappy town even exists.

[actualwizard]

[ Sorry Jason. He’ll do better. ] maybe in your world.

[ He sighs and motions back towards his office, they should probably sit for this conversation. Once they do he pulls a comic out of his drawer pushing it over to Jason. Billy is very clearly staring up at him from the cover.]

As far as I can tell we all come from some sort of entertainment on different worlds. Books, comics, movies, tv shows, games. If you search everyone here in the library or just asking the closets I’m sure we all pop up in one way or another.

[stereotypicaljock]

[He'll have a seat, but it won't last long. As soon as Billy presents him with the comic, he's back on his feet, gaping.]

So Wonderland's been spying on us the whole time??

[actualwizard]

Not spying. I don’t think. [ Time to voice some theories he’s only very recently figured out. ]

The multiverse is enormous, infinite. There are so many worlds out there, some similar, some completely different, but I think, somehow they all connect in small ways. In some worlds I’m real, in some worlds I’m just a comic book superhero, in some worlds I don’t exist at all. When we all got those random gifts a while back someone spoke to Tweedledee and she said Wonderland is trying to bring us all home. Bring us back. I think it travels between worlds and between time and pulls us here for a reason.

[ Sorry. Truth event babble. Are you confused yet? ]

[stereotypicaljock]

[If Billy was going for "confusion" he's certainly achieved that. Jason was lost at "multiverse." He'll try to push on though, and hope something makes sense later.]

So. It pulled us here just to send us home?

[actualwizard]

[ Sorry, he’ll break it down if he asks. ]

Well that’s what I don’t get. If tweedledee is to be believed, Wonderland wants us here. I’m not sure why it sends us home then. Unless it doesn’t mean to and some other force is at work.

[ This is getting very much off topic. ]

But, back to th point of this. That’s how I knew who you were.

[stereotypicaljock]

[Asking means he has to admit that he's missed some parts. Billy's smart enough to break down the complicated bits, he's sure.]

So what we know is that this is something nobody actually knows.

[Par for the course, in a place like this.]

Okay. Comic about you, TV show about me. It's really no weirder than a lot of what I've had to swallow.

What's this TV show about, though? It's only been a week or so back home. Or -- is it a show about the Rangers that came before?

[Ugh, Zordon's ego would probably bust the rest of the way through his spaceship.]

[actualwizard]

Basically. But we know a bit more now than we did when I first got here. [ Which is something..

It’s been years since he’s watched Power Rangers but he knows Jason is going to hate this description. ]

Uh. From what I remember it’s a show about the six of you and you fight bad guys and like do karate at school and there’s usually a cheesy message. It’s an after school show for kids.

[stereotypicaljock]

[Okay, that just sounds unbelievable.]

I'm guessing they leave out the part where I got arrested. I don't think any of us are "good" like that.

[actualwizard]

[ Well, that’s news. ]

Uh. No. They kept that part out of it. Why were you arrested?
