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?

[He's almost anticipating this becoming a fight. Gren is fun, but he's always been closer to Lup, and that's unpredictable to him. What if he sees something and takes it into a knife to use against him, what if he hears something and knows how to knock him down, what if what if what if--

And through all that, he simply doesn't. Taako's shoulders fall as the other man talks, crossing his arms to try and look more nonchalant, like he doesn't care as much as he truly does.]

Look, it's... I dunno. Maybe you'd just wanna drag my ass for being right.

[He sighs, letting his eyes fall off to the side.]

I've told him, okay? I don't have to say the word love for him to know I mean it. You don't need to worry about me.

[That's not really what's happening. Maybe it is? Everything about this is a mess.]

I don't wanna fuck this up either.

You could drag my ass right back for the same fuckin' thing.

[And, like, he gets it. This is weird and vulnerable and Taako doesn't have the same relationship with him that Lup does, so having these long, awkward talks about feelings and shit isn't something normal. Lup's heard so much of Gren's shit that there's probably nothing that he could unpack on her that she'd be unprepared for. Taako hasn't done the whole 'Let's Unpack Our Constipated Feelings' thing, hosted by monster man.]

[But, well, guess today was the crash course, whether anybody liked it or not.]

Yeah, well, don't fuck it up, I guess.

[Easier said than done.]

[pocketspa]

[Taako's barely done Unpack Your Constipated Feelings with anyone, much less monster mash over here. He's got things even Lup doesn't know about. It's dangerous and bad for him in all the worst ways, but releasing it is easier said than done.

Truly, this was the price he paid for those years spent alone, under the influence of amnesia. Trust is different when one person has always loved you versus when no one ever has.]

I'm not trying.

[Even if he feels like maybe he is. His voice is a little softer when he speaks again, an ounce of a real question underneath.]

Look, don't... take this the wrong way or whatever, but why the hell do you even care about me? You don't have to.
