Event Log: Memories Past

[hadrielmods]

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?

Thank you.

[He means it; he appreciates that he wants to help, and believes it a lot more now than he did before. He also believes the other offer is genuine as well, but it's a lot more unexpected and he isn't sure how to respond.

His way of handling things so far has been ignoring them, because who is really going to understand? Even people who actually care--and he knows a few other he trusts do care--can't actually understand what happened, at least not more than in vague theory, and that's only if Connor could bring himself to explain, which is easier said than done. He's not experienced enough with emotion to be able to describe how he felt, and that's all just for that one experience with Amanda.

But Drake actually saw and experienced it, and so maybe it wouldn't be pointless to talk to him. But that would still require Connor allowing himself to admit and face what happened--and that's of course only one moment in a long string of ordeals--which is just...

He doesn't respond, and doesn't actually look at Drake either, but he nods in understanding and acknowledgement. He'll think about it.]

You're welcome. You know how to reach me, okay?

[ The offer is genuine, and always open but he won't press it. Drake gives Connor a little smile, nodding towards the door. The android was on his way out, after all, he doesn't need to stick around for Drake's sake. ]

I'll see you, Connor. Have a good night.

[Connor's gaze flickers toward the door when Drake nods at it, grateful for the chance to retreat, and gives him another small nod of understanding before taking his opportunity and disappearing out the door.]
