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!

[She looks lost for a moment, taken aback at their question. Then she sighs, quiet but long.]

I dunno where to start, Frisk... I tried to keep her safe. I would rewind left and right.

[And it worked for a while. Just that.]

...But I guess one day we figured out that my saving her was hurting other people. So she asked me to stop. And to...

[Up until this point she's tried to keep her voice level. Her tone was flat, drawn out like an old script. But now it breaks a little, shaking with the threat of dissolving into an emotional mess. So she just tilts her head toward the door of her room.]

That.

[She breathes deep, letting the cold air fill her lungs.]

I think... She... [She shrugs.] I guess stopping was the right thing to do.

[She stares at Frisk, wishing that last point had come out better. More impactfully.]

Do you... get it?
determinedest: (* ...I wish I always had.)

[One day it just gets to be too much.]

[One day, too many RESETs start to take their toll. Your feet drag, you do what you can because you don't know what else to do, and the world grays around the edges. The adventure has dimmed. The excitement of a world where you are always in control has faded. You can't do anything but go back and back and back again, and attempt to relive a fading, fleeting thing.]

[You can go back one last time, or you can let everyone live their life.]

[Isn't it safer that way?]


I think so. [They can't say they do completely, but...]

[Chloe was someone special to her. Someone so important, she'd warp time and space and everything, just to save her. Maybe even risk the lives of everyone else.]


You have to choose between what's best for everyone, and what you wish you could do instead.

[personal profile] mypartnerintime 2017-11-10 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Exactly. [She looks away from them now, down at the floor.] And just because you can do something... doesn't mean you should.

[She feels gross.

She feels like a hypocrite. Like a fake, manipulative adult. Warning others about how time travel is dangerous. Telling some kid how to live their life, despite the fact that hers is screwed up. Saying they should stop trying, when she literally spent hours in that bathroom trying over and over again.

She literally feels dirty.

What the hell is she thinking, anyway? That she knows what's best? Why the heck is Frisk asking her?

And if she's right, she'll be putting Frisk through what she's going through right now. The difficulty of letting go, the grief, the regret. The painful choice. She sniffs and wipes her nose, then rubs the back of her neck as she looks at them again.]


Listen, I... You should probably ask other people about it, too.

[She hugs the jacket to her chest and takes a step back, preparing to leave before she really starts messing up their life.]

That's all just me. And I'm not... I'm... I'm gonna go.

[Because you can, you have to.]

[It's not just because you can. It's because you feel like...you're the one with the special power. The responsibility to try and do the right thing. The responsibility to try and be something good with your power. But is that just because you can? Is that because you have to?]

[The line there is so, so much thinner than anyone in a hall of gold-threaded light could have predicted.]

[He was wrong.]


You want to be alone.

[It's not a question. They can read into it plainly, and they've - they've probably overstepped anyway, haven't they?]

[Do they ever do anything else?]


Are you gonna be okay?

[They suspect the answer is "no." They're not sure if Max can twist it into anything else.]
mypartnerintime: (Thanks for nothing)

[personal profile] mypartnerintime 2017-11-10 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
[She struggles to answering, ignoring the voice in her head that berates her over and over for wanting to leave, for barely getting anything done. She wants to be alone, yeah- and Frisk wants company. Who wins out in that situation?

Selfish!

Sure enough she has one clear answer.]


No. Probably not.

[She grimaces, still backing away, but looking at them, like she's unwilling to give up all at once.]

What about you...?

I don't think I've been okay for a long time.

[Their smile is twisting, pained, and far more visceral than they'd like. Not restrained enough, not careful enough, not patient enough. Max is already backing away. They ought to let her.]

[And so they do. Moving back tentatively, step by step.]


I just hope you know you're not alone.
mypartnerintime: (Go fuck your selfie)

[personal profile] mypartnerintime 2017-11-10 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
You too, Frisk.

[She says it earnestly, despite the fact that she's walking away, leaving them. The irony isn't lost on her. But she so badly wants them to believe her. To understand that this moment is the exception, not the norm.]

I promise.

[And then she's turning away, hating herself a little, walking quickly off toward The Second Gallery.]
