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?

What. The fuck.

"Komaeda? I don't know what you're talking about. What hand?" Come on Komaeda, don't make him hit you. Shaking didn't do anything, he doesn't want to go there... "Snap out of it, buddy. Hey."

Whether or not it was Drake's words, Komaeda's laughter dies down. An eerie silence follows as he glances at the ground, his hands still clasped around his arms tightly. He then looks up.

"Ah....sorry, Drake-san. If you don't mind, there's something I need to do."

Drake looks relieved that Komaeda said something coherent, but he doesn't let go.

"...sure, but after all that I'm not letting you do it alone. Come on, man, talk to me."

What the hell is going on?

Komaeda aims to go home to dig out that hand. It's still exactly as it was when Serah gave it to him that day. However, the gods are no help. Unless he can somehow ask if they can gain memories back. Or find someone who can....

Unfortunately, Komaeda begins to realise, Drake is his only clue in this place. After all, he is the one who witnessed it. And while it does not make sense, there must be a reason behind what he saw. He tries to get Drake to release his hand. Training with Wash, he would be somewhat stronger than he was previously but that does not mean Drake can't overpower him.

"I'm not going very far. Just to my apartment to check something. That said, there's something I think I need to ask you."

Which obviously does not make the whole situation more confusing.
