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!

Nope. My nightmare is currently playing out in my room. [Kay grits his teeth as he realizes what just came tumbling out.] I didn't mean to say that.

[eatsyourscience]

Sorry. I knew that would happen and I shouldn't have asked.

[tattooedredheads]

Ugh, I hate this event. Why couldn't it have been the invisible zombies again? [Kay's scowl isn't directed at anyone in particular. He really would have preferred simple monsters that he could kill.]

[He casts around for something harmless to discuss to prevent spilling anymore information that he doesn't intend to disclose.]

Have you ever gone fishing here?

[eatsyourscience]

Yes, but it's been awhile. I haven't done it since before the lake formed, so I don't know about the fish in there. The ones in the ocean are pretty small and not worth eating.

[Wow, he feels like he's talking a lot.]

[tattooedredheads]

I'm not about to go fishing for meals unless the closets stop working anyway. I'd like to try my luck sometime. I just need to find someone else who'd want to fish with me.

[Fishing is kind of a social activity after all.]

[eatsyourscience]

I wouldn't mind. I have plenty to do already, but I don't mind taking the time.

[tattooedredheads]

[Kay hadn't really expected that, but he's definitely not looking this gift horse in the mouth.]

Great! It's been years since I've been able to do it. But you shouldn't make it a job. Fishing is supposed to be fun.

[eatsyourscience]

You're right. Even working in the diner was supposed to be more of a hobby than a job. It's not really like that anymore, though.

[While he'd rather not have said most of that, at least he isn't saying anything embarrassing or incriminating.]

[tattooedredheads]

[Kay's plan is a success!]

Guess that means I've gotta drag you out for a vacation after this. Maybe find something fun that you haven't done for a while. Aside from skiing since Wonderland's not likely to give us an entire hill to work with unless we can fit it inside one of the rooms.

[eatsyourscience]

We probably could do that, though. It combines rooms sometimes, I think, so we could probably will it to make a snowy hill.

[Or it would backfire stupendously somehow.]

[tattooedredheads]

That so? Would it give us temperature control too? A bunch of snow melting inside the building might cause issues.

[eatsyourscience]

Not too many problems. The Mansion's pretty good at fixing itself quickly.

[tattooedredheads]

Guess it did manage to flood itself and fix any water damage back up. Think I'll still try for the temperature control, though. I want snow rather than slush.

[He's actually planning to attempt this now.]

[eatsyourscience]

To be honest [Because he has to be.] the whole thing sounds like a waste of time, since it's unlikely to actually work.
