Event Log: Memories Past

Who: Everyone
What: Memory Share Event!
Where: All around the city
When: November 14th-20th
Warnings: Please remember to tag all warnings for memory shares!


Have you ever looked through someone else's eyes? Heard through their ears, spoken with their tongue? The gods have tried to teach some of you empathy, but it's time you learned the hard way, exactly what the others here have been through. For a week, every time you brush skin to skin with someone, you'll experience a memory of theirs: happy, sad, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that it feels real to you.

The first touch may come as a surprise- it lasts only for a split second but may feel like an eternity, where you're trapped in someone else's memory. After that, it could be more expected, and some may even figure out how to control it and share specific scenes from their past with others. Or, you might wear gloves and long sleeve shirts for awhile, nobody's judging.

Maybe curtail the handholding for awhile- or go right ahead, if that's your thing. After all, you never really know somebody unless you've walked a mile in their shoes, right?

► This log covers November 14th-20th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you die in a memory, you don't die in real life, but if you do die in real life please let us know here.

[ After all this time and they're finally on a first name basis. ]

You look like a David. It's nice.

[ There's a long pause while a few things click into place, the cogs of the wheel turning to the next phase of the puzzle. ]

Hey... David.

Who's Allison?

[ Wash gives it a moment, lets it settle, tries to see if he can stand to hear it from anyone besides Carolina... no, he doesn't like it. Doesn't like hearing his old name. ]

Please don't call me David. I'm not ready, sorry. It's not personal

[ As for the question? Hm. ]

That's complicated.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Duty)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-19 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Alright.

[ Donut understands about not being ready to face certain... personal issues. It's how he spent his life before the Red Army. Besides, it's not like he knows him as David. Wash is fine. ]

Safe-word complicated?

[personal profile] hardwearing 2018-11-19 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[ Wash shakes his head, thinking. He doesn't want to get into the stuff about who Tex really was, or tell Donut anything personal about other people. Epsilon is here, after all, it's his life too. But the Director? Wash could not give one single fuck about the Director's privacy. ]

No, it's fine. She was the Director's wife. She died in the war before he started Freelancer. He never got over it.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Are you okay?)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-19 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [ He wasn't expecting that. ] He must of really loved her.

[ At least that's the conclusion he draws from that. I mean, he's read enough magazines to believe in true love and soulmates and everything else teenage girls spent their nights dreaming about. But that's a conversation for another time. ]

You were injured. Was that in Freelancer too?
hardwearing: by <user name="ana"> (07)

[personal profile] hardwearing 2018-11-19 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. He did.

[ He'll never dispute that, but also... it doesn't excuse all of the shit he did in the name of that. Wash will never forgive the Director. And he doesn't want to talk about any of this. "Injured," hah. ]

It was at the very end, maybe a little after, things are blurry in there. What you saw specifically was what happened after everyone scattered.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Soft)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-20 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Donut lets him take his time and when he answers, he smiles. ]

Here.

[ He holds out a closed hand out to him as if to give him something. ]

...I'm not touching you again. What is it?
glazedonutholes: (PB: B/c we're friends)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-20 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to touch me, you just have to catch it.

[ And he drops a blue skittle.

Whether he drops it or catches, the smile remains. ]


You said everyone scattered. Does that mean you got left behind?

[personal profile] hardwearing 2018-11-20 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, okay. Wash's hand darts out, then, and he catches the candy. Examines it in his hand -- it must've been a remnant of the Door spitting out items from home, they don't usually have treats like this in the city. He tries to eat healthy, too, but right now... he pops the candy in his mouth and just enjoys it.

Sugar's supposed to be comfort food, right? He could use some for this conversation. It feels like a dick move to nope out and leave when Donut's being so friendly, but the answers are difficult. ]


Yeah. They left me there, but it's also not like that was a conscious choice for most of them. Nobody said, "forget Wash," they just didn't think of me at the time either.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Tell me more)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-20 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Did you think of them?
hardwearing: by <user name="ana"> (10)

[personal profile] hardwearing 2018-11-20 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. But I was in no shape to help any of them, if I'd even known what side to fight on. You just saw that.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Tell me more)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-20 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to help them. You just have to be there.

I hopped onto a ship the moment you guys called me not because I thought I could help but because I knew I should be there. With my friends. That's all people really need sometimes.

[personal profile] hardwearing 2018-11-21 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
And if it were possible, I would have been. But I couldn't be there, Donut, I was strapped to a hospital bed.

[ He really isn't sure what side he would've taken, either, back then, he's not sure he could've trusted himself to make the correct choice with how little he actually knew. Because no one told him shit. Just the rookie, in the dark until it was too late. And then nobody came back for him. ]

It was a long time ago, though. I'm better now.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Tell me more)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-22 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
That's tough. Maybe you shouldn't let yourself be strapped down next time.

[personal profile] hardwearing 2018-11-22 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wash bristles, struggling not to glare but his eyes are cold now, a slight frown on his face. ]

You say that like I had a choice in what they did to me.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Tell me more)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-22 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
We all have choices. That's what we fight for.
hardwearing: by <user name="beticons" site="insanejournal"> (pic#10988262)

[personal profile] hardwearing 2018-11-22 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
The choices that led up to it? I wouldn't make again. But your options are pretty limited once you're unconscious.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Tell me more)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-22 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well, sure. No one's blaming you for that.
hardwearing: by <user name="beticons" site="insanejournal"> (garrett_shoots2_0017)

[personal profile] hardwearing 2018-11-22 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Some people might have, but in the end I think everybody blamed the Director.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Tell me more)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2018-11-22 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
The Director. That's the guy that made Church and Epsilon right?
