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 am probably going to do my best to avoid them, and everyone else for the duration of this event.

[Toriel just lets out an incredibly long, deep sigh, as they reach the kitchen, and immediately goes over to the cupboards to retrieve a box of cereal. Yeah, she's... not even going to try with something more than that right now.

Even then, once she has two bowls and milk out too, she still needs to just... take a few moments to place her hands on the counter and just stare down at it, because the task of picking up the box and pouring, and then ALSO have to pick up the milk and pour, and then doing it AGAIN for the second bowl just seems like an enormous, insurmountable task right now, and she just wants to lie down until these feelings pass over.

But. She does it, because her girlfriend's right there, and sets two bowls of cereal down on the table.]

Here you are.

[She watches, heart full of sympathy, even if this is what she hates when people do this to her. She wishes they'd just pretend she isn't struggling, and at a loss of what to say, she offers a little smile and gestures for her to sit.]

C'mon. Let me handle stuff today, okay? Don't overextend yourself for me. Let me take it.

[She waits until Toriel's sat down, and gets up to retrieve two spoons, handing one over across the table.]

...Oh. Oh, right, that- yes, that was so obvious, I- God, I cannot do anything right.

[It's something so small, but it just... it's just too much. This is too much. Dwelling in negative thoughts is bad enough but having each and every one forcing it's way out of her mouth is making it so much worse, and she just... kind of pushes the bowl aside, lays her head on the table and holds her arms over her head.

She just. She needs a minute.]

[Shepard circles around the table, sitting down next to her and gently rubbing her back. They'll make it. They'll get out of this, together. It'll just be a few days.]
