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!

Taako can't say he didn't see this coming. This Lup girl is...really good at finding him. Which adds credence to her claims to know him but, well. At this point he's not even questioning that. He's just questioning everything else.

So he closes his book and stretches a little. There really isn't any point in running away or trying to avoid this, is there? It's definitely his first instinct, but he can just see her popping up again, sliding her arm through his. And as much as he hates this compelled, forced truth-- as much as he hates not having the choice to be brutally honest --he's pretty sure she'll accept whatever it is with her peculiar, somewhat destructive grace.

He wishes he could do her the same courtesy. But that option's been taken from him, hasn't it?

"Hey. Your room totally awful right now, too?

"The fucking worst."

And it's not exactly a clear invitation, but Lup takes Taako shutting his elf smut book as permission for her to join him, so she does. He's made a little personal fort here within the library, so she slips between the walls of books and plops down at his side, immediately drawing her knees to her chest. It isn't exactly the position she'd like, right now she'd feel so much more whole to be able to lean into him or to slip her hand into his, but it'll do for now. It's as much as she can expect of him.

Just try and get rid of her now, Taako.

"How long does this shit go on again? Just a couple days, right?"

"Yup. Every couple weeks for the rest of...Well. I was going to say our lives but I don't think anyone ages here, so. Eternity."

He leans his head back against the wall, closes his eyes. He knows it's highly unlikely she's exempt from the truth-telling, but he figures he ought to test it before they go any deeper. But even that sounds fucking uncomfortable and weird. So he takes a moment.

Then he sighs. "You...did you go into my room?"

Eternity in this place, huh? She is not a fan.

Taako relaxes at her side so Lup does the same, wrapping her skinny arms around her legs and resting her chin on top of her knees. It’s not much, just a few books stacked up next to them, but she feels a little safer here in this small space, nestled out of the way with her brother.

Even if she could lie, Lup wouldn’t.

“It was before I really knew what was up, but yeah, guilty.” A pause before she adds in a much softer mumble, “ Sorry.”

"Mmm. It's okay." And it is. Nothing complicated there.

"Figure if I went into your room I wouldn't see anything, anyway."

That's a little more complicated. And he didn't exactly plan on saying it, but he doesn't quite regret it. Not yet, anyway.

"I don't know what's going on with all that. I mean, I have an idea. It's probably the fish. But I don't know why. I think it might be the Director. But I haven't confirmed it or anything. And I'm sorry, even if it's definitely not my fault. I think."

He sighs.

"I don't...actually know. It might be my fault. I fuck up like that. But I'm sorry even if it isn't my fault because I can tell you're kind of fucking miserable."

Alright, that's probably plenty. Time to cut this off at the pass.

"I'm gonna eat a dictionary now."

Taako grabs a book out of the fort, flips it open, and starts tearing pages out of it. Once he has a handful, he shoves it directly into his fucking mouth.

Lup doesn't correct him, doesn't mention that he'd most definitely be able to see her memory because he'd just lived through it a few weeks earlier, but she does sit quietly and listen to everything that comes next. Because it's a lot.

"Yeah," And the words just flow from her mouth, the truth coming easily with him, event's influence or not. "I've gotten a few updates since we last chatted about it. I know the why now. Just haven't figured out how to fix it. Not without that stupid fish."

What she wouldn't give to see Fisher again, just to give her brother the kick in the ass he needed to remember her.

"And for what it's worth, it isn't your fault. It's Lucretia's." A beat passes, Lup shifting to lean back with him, pulling her long braid over her shoulder so she can fiddle with the end of her hair. "Mine too. But not you. You didn't cause this, promise." But even if he didn't, his apology twists in her gut, meaningful and heavy. Taako's apologies are pretty rare, even with her. If nothing else, Lup feels the significance there. He trusts her, at least a little.

"Yeah, it sucks and I miss you." Strange to say she misses someone who is right next to her, but it's true. "But I'm glad you don't think I'm some Wonderland monster sent to hurt you anymore. I wouldn't. Pinky promise." She sticks out her finger for him to take if he's so inclined, but just as she opens her mouth to say more, Taako rips apart a book and just full on stuffs paper into his mouth.

His sister startles briefly, staring at him. But then she laughs, wild and unrestrained, a hand jumping to her mouth that does nothing to dim the mirth in her tone. "Taako! You weirdo."

Taako responds, though it's entirely muffled by ink and paper, "Ifth thuh ohly oeh auh cauh theh dauh thaugh ihh."

And then he bursts into weird, choking laughter too. Fuck. This is so fucking dumb. His eyes are streaming with tears as he pulls the paper out piece by piece, gagging a little.

"Eugh, the flavor was not worth that."

He keeps giggling, though, and wipes tears away with the back of his hand. "Shit. Lightened the mood, at least."

Funny how such a stupid stunt makes Lup feel more safe and secure than she has in months. It feels like she's home.

Lup has to wipe away her own tears as Taako does, still unable to shake those last few lingering giggles, before she's leaning into his side. Even after so long apart, he's familiar as anything.

"Yeah, you've always been pretty good at that." That's an easy enough truth to tell. They've always been best at making each other laugh. "Y'know what? Fuck bedrooms, let's just kick all these nerds out and take over the library forever."

"I don't know. That might make us into nerds. That might be how nerds germinate. Living in libraries."

He's not sure if he believes that or not, which is interesting given the truth event. Not that he particularly cares.

"Ew," she's still giggling, looking far more upbeat than he's ever seen her in his presence. This happiness doesn't have to be forced or faked. She's just happy to be in his company.

"Pretty sure we're immune to nerd-dom though. Way too cool for that shit."
