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!

[Toriel has some fairly strong feelings about most of the things Angus has said, and she just gets ready for them all to come spilling out.]

A woman who takes in a lonely child to make them work for her does not sound like the kind of woman who should be a mother figure at all.

If I may be honest- well, I have to be honest, so if I may be polite by warning you that what I am about to say may be a bit unpleasant to hear, I have never liked those kinds of novels. They can be entertaining, surely, and I can definitely see how kids would like them. As an adult reading them, however, all I can think of is how very unsafe it was for kids to be in situations like that, and how incredibly irresponsible it was for people to allow them to do such things. I also sometimes worried that it may be a bad impression on kids and urge them to do unsafe things, which... seems may have been the case?

It is completely possible to take a child seriously, without also letting them do incredibly unsafe things. 'Being treated like a kid' is not always the same as 'not listening to you'.

[Angus completely deflates. She's right about one thing. It is entirely unpleasant to hear. It's not completely unlike some of what he's heard from others who have tried to discredit him in the past. Mostly people who he's revealed things about that didn't much appreciate it.

He sits back in his chair, and looks away from Toriel.

She didn't make me do anything. I chose to do it myself!

[Now that he's raised his voice once, he can't help it. He just continues to get angry.]

Just because I'm younger than others doesn't mean I can't be trusted to do what I want to do! I never take on dangerous jobs without protection, and I'm doing the same thing adult detectives do anyway! Why can they do it and not me!?

[He grips the seat of his chair. He's literally just throwing a tantrum at this point, honestly. But, well. That's this event, I guess.]

No wonder you want to be my mom! You just want to take over my life!

[And... now he's yelling at her. Which, to be fair, she did tell him it'd be unpleasant to hear, so it's not surprising that he'd be mad. Doubly unsurprising, since it sounds like he had a rough childhood. So... she's just quiet, and letting him yell, waiting for him to finish before she responds.]

I am sorry. I do not know much about your life, and can only make assumptions on what you have told me. And I cannot withhold those assumptions until I know more, due to Wonderland's interference.

If you have proper protection and are taken care of, then that is good to hear. I completely trust that you are very good at your job, and are an excellent detective, if someone sought you out to do it for them. I just... would hate for something to happen to anyone, but especially a child, due to a lack of concern for safety.

I have absolutely no interest in taking over your life. If one of my children did want to do such a thing, then I would impress upon them how dangerous it was, and for them to take the proper precautions, but I would not stop them. I know that, because I have not stopped them, which is how 6 children I tried to protect died.

[Well.

Now Angus sure feels like an asshole.

He definitely overreacted. He knows that's a sore spot of his, but he didn't have to go and yell at her... Normally he wouldn't. He'd just silently accept her point of view and move on, with no plans to change his life but able to keep her content with it for now.

Angus didn't realize how much he wanted to yell at everyone who tried to assume he was in over his head, taking on something too big for a kid his age, and now he's done it and already regretted it.

He instantly looks away, face flushing in shame.
]

I-I'm sorry, ma'am. I don't want to yell at you. I wouldn't normally. I feel like yelling all the time and I wish I didn't.

And... I'm sorry about your children. I just... have a lot of experience with my job, even at my age, and I've yet to seriously injure myself. I can't say it's never been dangerous, but I'm very careful and work closely with the militia, who often assign me protection if I'm ever worried.

What... happened to those children? Why did they all do something so dangerous? Is your world like Ms. Georgia's or Clementine's?

It is alright, I understand. Feeling like that is very common for children, I think. I felt that way very often as a child. All I can really ask is that you please be careful.

[Toriel just... sighs. Long, and tired. She just wanted to help a kid out, clean up a book. Not talk about this.]

I do not know those names, I am afraid. No, they just... Well, it is somewhat of a long story.

[She wants so badly to just tell a limited, truncated version of the story. Skip over most of it, but she can't even seem to get herself to do that. Too many lies of omission.]

My people were sealed underground by humans, where we were forced to live for centuries. After so long, the nature of the mountain we were sealed beneath had faded into myth, and humans began exploring the mountain, only aware of a legend that those who go there disappear.

Which... I suppose they did. There was a hole, which sometimes humans would fall down, into an area of the Underground known as the Ruins. For most of them, the ones who I had tried to protect...

The only way to break the seal, is with the power of 7 human SOULs. My people wished to be free, by any means. I had sealed off the Ruins from the rest of the Underground, and so long as they stayed there with me, they would be safe. I did my best to become their family, and to provide them with a happy life.

Every time, though... every single time, they were not satisfied. The Ruins are not very big, are sparsely populated, and severely out of date technologically. They wanted to see the sunlight, they wanted to explore the world. They wanted more than the incredibly limited life that I could provide for them. I did my best to tell them of the dangers awaiting them outside the Ruins, but... every time, they insisted that they wanted to leave, and I could not force them to be a prisoner.

I do not know exactly what happened to them after that. I only know that each and every one of them, 6 times in a row, died at the hands of my ex-husband, Asgore.
