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 know it’s bullshit!” He snaps back, because Peter isn’t telling him anything he doesn’t know already and he’s been on edge since this whole thing started. He lets himself fall back into his chair and leans his elbows on the desk, head in his hands. “It’s all terrible and reliving it...reliving it when I’m aware of what’s going on no less. It’s like it’s two years ago and all the progress I made, all the steps with Teddy mean absolutely nothing, because I’m back there again getting strangled by the one person who was never supposed to hurt me.”

He glances up at Peter. “What am I supposed to do?”

Peter steps forward towards Billy, resting a hand on his shoulder when he sees him with his head in his hands. He tightens his hold on him briefly, sitting half on Billy's desk. "I- I don't- I don't really know," he says. This is so far out of his own emotional depth. "I think you have to let yourself be okay with setbacks. Reliving that? It's going to bring you right back again to what happened. You give yourself time. You talk to Billy. You take care of yourself, because you're important."

And he deserves to be taken care of, to be ready.
