It may very well be the worst thing that's ever happened to you! | OPEN MINGLE

Who: EVERYONE!
Where: EVERYWHERE!
When: Friday October 27th - Tuesday October 31st
Rating: PG-13, warn if you're gonna go higher!
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!

"Because I figured she'd be with you."

Caroline didn't realize she had to track her down. Elena had been through a host of terrible things, her room could have been anything, but she figured it would have been like hers, something she'd already at least sort of processed.

She didn't imagine that Damon's might be the one to completely screw everyone up.

"Damon, what happened? What did she see?"

"Saw me thinking I'd set her on fire in her sleep in a fucking coffin."

There is no explaining that easily at all. He's so far ahead of the rest of them. There's so goddamn much ahead for them. He presses his hand to his face with a hiss of a breath, closing his eyes there. The truth Event is in its effect. The words leave abrupt, harsh. His hand becomes a fist all over again in his anger at it- at the- at all of it.

"Kai Parker. He put her under a sleeping spell, tying her life to Bonnie's. As long as Bonnie is alive, Elena has to stay asleep."

Kai Parker. The guy she'd practically had to beg to save her mother's life when she'd screwed up.

Damon isn't alone in his anger, at least. Her lips press together painfully as her face pinches together. He doesn't need to explain any of the beginning; she's been through all the crap where people made them see things, even if Silas is long gone. He thought he'd done it; he'd be more than angry right now if it had been real.

"Did you kill him?"

The words are tight as they force themselves out of her throat.

"Beheaded him with my hand."

Damon actually smirks at that, because it was satisfying as hell to take that psychopath's head off. He swallows down the bile that comes next because it didn't change anything.

Elena remains in a coffin. He closes his eyes as he rests his head back against the wall.

"He's very dead, but Elena is still very much still asleep for years."

"Good."

The word feels thick in her throat, and she means it with an intensity that almost frightens her. She's not surprised that undoing the magic he'd done wouldn't be as simple as ending his life, and it frustrates her that he was probably the only one who could fix it, but some people just couldn't be reasoned with.

She sighs.

"Let me guess. Elena found out and she's not...taking it very well."

"How can you take anything like that... well?"

Even if one ignores the moral implications, if she could somehow get past never seeing Bonnie or Jeremy again, there's still him.

He still set her on fire even if he didn't want to.

There's no choice.

There's never fucking anything.

"No, there's no changing it."

Elena deserves to react how ever she does even if that's= even if it's hating him.

"You don't. You just take it and hope it doesn't screw you up too much."

How much more of this crap did they have to go through before they finally got to just live? Apparently, they weren't destined for that.

"There's no changing any of it. We can't fix all the messed up stuff that's happened to us. We just have to figure out a way to keep going anyway."

Some days were harder than others. Some days were bordered on unbearable.

"She still needs you."

"Everyone has to have a limit."

Elena's the strongest person that he's ever met. She's beautiful, brave. She cares and loves intensely. She's stubborn and angry and grieving- She shouldn't have to go through anything else. Hell, none of them should. What the hell is their lives that it's an endless parade of tragedy?

His jaw locks near the back. He shakes his head, but it doesn't- it doesn't escape him. She thinks Elena needs him. She's encouraging him.

"After what she saw in there, I'm the last person she'd want to see." He still hates she saw that- that particular view point. It was the worst thing to happen to him, thinking he'd killed her, but the whole- the whole of it was the worst from the moment he couldn't wake her (from saying goodbye to her on the street, from being terrified his mother would kill her in her own coffin). "I'm here for her, Caroline. I lived it. If she wants to see me again, I'll be waiting like I'm waiting back home, trying to do right by her, trying to stay alive, trying to make sure no one else dies too soon and no one gets their hands on Elena's coffin and fighting the latest big bad of the week with the whole Scooby gang."

It's exhausting.

"Okay sure, maybe right this second."

There are plenty of people Caroline wouldn't want to be around under certain circumstances, but that didn't mean she wanted to cut them out forever. It took a lot for her to want to do that, and she's pretty sure it takes even more for Elena to do it.

"But it sure sounds like you didn't want to freaking set her on fire or whatever, and you also didn't really do it, so she's going to forgive you. This is Elena freaking Gilbert we're talking about here. You killed her brother and she fell in love with you."

Seriously, stop being so dramatic.

"It's not about you. It's about her. Sitting here feeling sorry for yourself isn't doing right by her and you know it. Give her time. It's not like we don't have plenty of it right now."

"I know that."

Damon's words are sharp. They're a hiss out of his teeth. Anger rises up in him abruptly.

"I've lived with this for years, back home and here. Do you think I go full pity party around her? No. I say stupid shit, but I'm aware of who all of this is about." Elena has never allowed herself to feel it- never allowed herself to let it be about her. Maybe she can't. Maybe it's too goddamn much, but it was about her from the start for him. "She's always caring about everyone else and their reactions. When she said goodbye to everyone, do you think she let any of it be about her-"

His voice cuts off. She told him to live, to be happy. He didn't deny it because he knew she needed to see it.

"I know who it's about, Caroline. The only reason I'm so fucking- so fucking messed up is because she has to live with it here now, and I never wanted her to have to."

Caroline's teeth sink into her bottom lip as guilt washes over her. She hates everything about this, the fact that Elena has to see or go through any of this, that it's going to happen at all, that Damon seems to know about all these horrible things that will eventually come to pass.

She hates that he has to live with that knowledge. How much more of it was there?

And she hates that she feels bad for making him angry when he clearly had her best friend's interests in mind the entire time and he's just venting because he doesn't have a choice.

"This kind of thing was so much easier when I hated you, you know that?"
