What: Memory Share Event!

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.
7 because I gotta
He offers him a cup of coffee. Big fucking mistake. When their hands brush Epsilon gets a shotgun blast of memory the leaves him pale as all the blood drains from his face.
It was one thing to know that he had ruined Wash's life. It had been a mistake, a desperate attempt to escape the burden of being Alpha's memories. It was another thing altogether to see the effects of it first hand. ]
no subject
...it wasn't your fault, you know. I've never blamed you for it, it was probably the Counselor more than the Director, even. But I've got a question for you.
no subject
[ He's never giving Wash coffee again if this is what being nice gets him. Fuck! Epsilon tops up his own cup just to keep his hands busy and so he doesn't actually have to look at Wash. ]
Go for it, whatever. It's not like this can get any fucking worse.
no subject
[ But for once Wash doesn't sound pissed about it because, and maybe he's the only one who could, he understands. He shifts his weight awkwardly. ]
I thought, before we ran into each other again, that it wasn't personal. That you would've done it no matter whose head you were in. But then when you did see me for the first time, you tried to kill me. Not just because we were the bad guys, you said my name like you hated me. Why?
no subject
[ Of course Wash had to ask about that. How does he even start to get into how screwed up he was in the early days of his reactivation? He was a mess of mixed up memories, all cobbled together with the mental equivalent of paperclips and chewing gum thanks to Caboose's bullshit stories. ]
Because I didn't remember everything. But I... I saw you and there was this flash of fucking shitawful pain. I didn't know anything except that last time I saw you I was hurting. There wasn't any context to it except that you were involved. It wasn't actually personal.
no subject
[ Have they just been misunderstanding each other completely for years despite having been in each other's heads? Does that count as something else in common? Wash takes a sip of his coffee just to do something besides answer right away. ]
I'm sorry. I've been reading that wrong ever since it happened. Which isn't... uncommon, for me.
no subject
[ He adds some sugar to his coffee, using the distraction to its fullest. It feels weird to actually address the elephant in the room after all this time. They've been dancing around their mutual damage, not wanting to be the first to acknowledge what happened. It was easier to be cheerfully antagonistic about everything. ]
...You're lucky my aim sucks. Otherwise your ass would have been toast.
no subject
[ It's a subtle agreement he did plenty, just not directly to Epsilon, certainly not before that point. The after, he understands being hated for. He isn't the fondest of himself either, and Epsilon is the best version of Church he's known, so. The honesty isn't easy but he pries it out anyway. ]
All your aims have sucked, it's hard-wired one way or another. But you're better at a lot of other things.
no subject
[ There's no malice behind the words. At this point it's practically friendly banter.
Epsilon knows he's a better man than the Director had ever been, though sometimes he wonders if he's the version of Church everyone wants. Caboose reactivated him with the intent of getting Alpha back and instead they had ended up with him. Maybe Tucker would have been happier if Alpha had been the one to wake up. Not that he's going to let Wash see that particular insecurity. ]
Fuck yeah, I'm the best version. Because I got shit done unlike all the rest of them.
no subject
[ There's no malice on his end, either. Not even frustration, he sounds almost fond for a moment there while he puzzles through his next words. ]
It's not so much that you did, to me, it's why you were able to. I think you spent so much time trying to figure out who you were in relation to them that you just... saw yourself more honestly. That's part of what helped me be less of a piece of shit, anyway. I think. And you can hold a conversation that considers the other people in it. Not always first try, but.
[ He shrugs a little, and this part's definitely fond. ]
You care about people more openly. Still a jerk, though.
no subject
And you're still a team stealing jackass, but you keep these idiots alive so we're even I guess.
[ This is the best version of Leonard Church, still a smug asshole but one who at least cares about the people around him. ]
no subject
They kept me alive first.
[ Wash sets his mug down and opens a cupboard, considering food options. ]
What do you want for breakfast? You're the first one down, I'll let you pick today.
no subject
[ It's as close as he'll really get to complimenting the reds and blues directly.
Enjoy the blank stare at that offer, Wash. This is the face of a man who was probably going to drink nothing but coffee for breakfast because he's still a failure of a human being. ]
I don't know, just make whatever you did yesterday.
