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.

[ It seems like everyone's been keeping to the house more towards the end of the week -- Peter has been living in his full-body suit even at home, to avoid accidental memory sharing, and Pell suspects all the rest of them are just tired of it happening. He still goes to the clinic and his garden but is definitely more aware of the event than he'd like. It's familiar, but it distresses people, and the lack of control is somewhat disconcerting.

He isn't wary at home, though. When Jo clears her throat he glances up from where he was pulling down things for tea, offering her a smile. ]


Evening. Any incidents today?

[Jo takes a seat at the table and watches him work.]

No, but I've been home. [It's hard to run into someone when you haven't left your room.]

What about you? Have you had any trouble?
pellameno: (anticipating night falling)

Ah, the old hermit-to-avoid-god-antics routine. I know it well.

[ He just can't afford to do it anymore, he's got too much on his plate. ]

No trouble, really, though a few encounters. I'm used enough to sharing memories it doesn't affect me as much as what I see... there were only two today, one was far worse than the other.
knifecollecting: (I know you better than this)

[Jo watches him for a moment, sighing after a bit.]

You can't control it, huh? Do all the har share memories?
pellameno: (quiet company)

[personal profile] pellameno 2018-12-14 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
When I'm doing it myself I can. For this... I think I can control what of mine people might see, if it wasn't accidental contact, but I've been getting random scenes from other people's lives. Maybe just whatever's on their minds. It's disconcerting, having it in my head so suddenly.

[ So basically, hermiting is a wise choice. ]

We're all capable of it, yes. Like anything, it takes practice.
knifecollecting: (Now we know it all for sure)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2018-12-15 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
We don't have any control over it. [As Pell's figured out by now.]

Can you do it with anyone? The gods are just having it be whoever. [That's really pissing her off.]
pellameno: (in here)

[personal profile] pellameno 2018-12-20 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pell considers the question... anyone? Hmm. ]

I can do it with other hara and with humans, but haven't tested on any of our mechanical friends.
knifecollecting: (It's a thankless job)

[Jo hadn't thought about the robots. Are they affected by this? Hmm.]

It must be hard to have it be different. At least when you do it, you're prepared. [There's no warning for them.]
pellameno: (following so far)

[personal profile] pellameno 2018-12-29 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Pell would answer that he'd expect it to be the case since this is a god thing -- those affect everyone indiscriminately. His power, though, it might take some practice to access an inorganic being's mind, if he even could. ]

It's jarring and unexpected and kind of upsetting for that, yes.
knifecollecting: (The dreams you believe in)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-01-04 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Most things here are unexpected. [It's really annoying.]

Are you planning to stay in all day?
