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's not that Jo is against hugs, she's just not used to them from George. Maybe she should work on changing that.

She keeps her head up, just in case, but squeezes George as hard as she can.]

[George is not used to hugs, period. her mom never was a hugger. her father was, but then Reggie came along and ruined everything for eight year old George. or she let them be ruined.

so she hugs back as hard as she can (while still ensuring that no actual physical contact is made)]
knifecollecting: (I'm just a regular Jo)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-01-30 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Jo stays still for a long while, enjoying both the hug and the warmth it brings.

Eventually, she does pull back, laughing quietly.]


Good enough?

[and she's still as well. it's nice to be hugged. she'd forgotten how nice it could be.

and when she pulls away, she's blushing bright red because she is a dork who's bad at emotions]


Yeah. That--works. Thanks.

[George is allowed to ask for hugs. Jo wouldn't normally think to offer them to her.]

No problem. [After all, what else are fake big sisters for?]
toiletseat_girl: (overlooked like a puzzle book)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-02-02 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[no, she's not. she's not allowed to ask for anything. especially hugs]

I guess. [what indeed?]
knifecollecting: (God Bless us every one)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-02-06 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Jo better not hear her say that.]

What, was it not a good hug? [Come on, George. Act excited.]
toiletseat_girl: (paint a prettier picture of your future)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-02-06 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[one fundamental rule of the universe is that George Lass Does Not Deserve Nice Things]

No, no, no, it was great. Best hug I've had in years. Like actual years.
knifecollecting: (Her face is a map of the world)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-02-08 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[The Universe is bullshit. A lot of the time, at least.]

That's kinda sad. You're not supposed to admit how long it's been for something.
toiletseat_girl: (getting used to thinking of you as a)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-02-08 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah, it really is]

Really? 'Cause, yeah, my family's not the hugging type. Like, at all.
knifecollecting: (I made a lot of mistakes)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-02-11 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Some families aren't. [Jo's seen enough to know that much.

Still...]


You can ask for hugs if you need them.
toiletseat_girl: (before her Joyce would unravel)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-02-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[with an air of resignation] Mine sure wasn't.

[she looks up with eyes that shouldn't be that doe-like] Really?
knifecollecting: (Yeah?)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-02-16 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Jo kind of feels sorry for the teen. She didn't get the best of things.]

Do I usually say stuff I don't mean? [The answer to that is no, so, yes, really, George.]
toiletseat_girl: (caught between heaven and earth)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-02-16 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[no, she didn't. so that when something good does happen to her, she doesn't trust it. or she expects it to be torn away with no notice]

No. You don't. You're honest. Most people aren't.
knifecollecting: (You're gonna miss me when I'm gone)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-02-21 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She might as well be honest here. It felt like so much of her life back home was lying through her teeth.]

Some people have their reasons for lying.
toiletseat_girl: (well you know November has come)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-02-22 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[and she's used to being lied to. anytime someone says something nice about her, she assumes they're lying]

And then lying gets easy.
knifecollecting: (You're gonna miss me when I'm gone)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-02-25 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes. [It's actually been a relief here, to be herself and brutally honest about why she can shoot.]

I'll try not to lie to you.
toiletseat_girl: (and if you want a dog or a big bullfrog)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-02-26 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Good. 'Cause that would kinda suck.
knifecollecting: (I'm trying to change your mind)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-03-01 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is about as much emotional stuff as Jo can handle in a day.]

Yeah. We'll be fine.
toiletseat_girl: (and I've been closed like a book)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-03-02 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Fine.

[assuming George doesn't fuck things up somehow along the way]
knifecollecting: (Her face is a map of the world)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-03-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Jo knows she won't.]

Come on, let's go home and hide for a bit.
toiletseat_girl: (wednesday she's looking for a friend)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2019-03-07 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[George isn't so sure]

Sounds like a plan.
