Event Log: Keepsakes

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Keepsakes event!
Where: All around the city
When: October 15th-October 19th
Warnings: A bunch of random crap.


Well, Hope and Delight are messing with the door again, but at least this time dragons aren't involved, right? This attempt goes a bit better - sure, no one gets sent home, but if everyone will just look under their seats, they'll find a FREE [INSERT SOMETHING YOU MAYBE DIDN'T WANT AT ALL HERE]! Awesome! So nice! Yup, throughout these few days people will be finding things from home - something they loved, something they used all the time, something they hated, something they totally forgot they even had. All sorts of cool stuff!

Well, they might not actually find it. Their neighbor might, or a complete stranger. And who knows where it could turn up? At the park, half-buried? In the Silent Hill zone, kept safe by a horrifying monster? Or hey, maybe in somebody's underwear drawer. Awkward. Better try to find your stuff, or find the owner of whatever weird crap you found. It could be something important.


► This log covers October 15th-October 19th.
► 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 somehow manage to die in this event, please let us know here, and also what the hell?

[It wasn't much of a surprise to hear that consideration. If Chara had fallen and then was alone, randomly heard a voice in their head...they'd consider that they lost their mind too. They weren't one to make things like an imaginary friend so that would have been Chara's only conclusion.

When they first found themselves with Frisk and Chara made the decision to speak, it felt oddly natural. But in a way it was like talking about things to Asriel. Still...it didn't stop from hints.

How Toriel knew best for them. Recognizing Asriel's voice even though Frisk never met him.

The Locket. The Dagger. The Real Knife.

All the monsters. How to they were.

And the silence in New Home.

Chara stares at the screen even long after the video has run out. They can't look at Frisk and for once they can't laugh even a nervous laugh. They just talk.]


You do not have to be sorry, Frisk. What happened to me...was brought on by my own actions.

[Chara almost says KARMA but decides not to bring that into this mix. No need to make things worse, Chara. Don't be a brat.]

[Colored lines appear across the screen, a monotonous tone chiming incessantly. The tape is well and truly over, but Frisk isn't all that worried about it. They won't be watching it again.

They don't agree. They don't agree that it was all Chara's fault, but...that's okay. In the same way that Frisk is okay, and Sans is okay, it's- okay.

Which is to say, it's not okay at all.

A tentative hand brushes across the back of Chara's palm; letting them know that it's there before making any further movements. Pushing small fingers through fingers equally as small, two kids sitting in an empty lounge room.

They can just stay like this, if Chara wants. No more tapes.]

['Okay'. A real loaded word, is it not? It can mean anything and conveniently cover up anything because if you say you're "okay" then everything is fine. Like magic.

Chara appreciates the warning and instead of jerking their hand back, just curls their own fingers until they're actually holding hands. In the back of their minds Chara knows there's one more tape that Frisk possesses but they don't want to see it. They knew that Toriel lived in the Ruins and that Asgore wished for his family back instead of bloodstained hands. They knew their family was broken but seeing them before the demon tore them apart with their stupid, stupid plan finalized it in a way that Chara couldn't bare.

* You feel your sins crawling on your back.

Chara doesn't cry. They continue to stare at the TV and don't say anything. But that may be for the best. No more tapes. Please, no more tapes.]

[They do want to watch it. After going over the Underground so many times, the idea that there's still something new there; things that they haven't seen and don't know, it...

There's always the chance that it could unlock the way out. That maybe, they could do the right thing, if they could just-

Except the right thing now and the right thing back there is entirely different. So that's the question, isn't it? What do they choose? Now? Or back then?]


...Do tapes burn?

[Their grip on Chara tightens.

What sort of question is that, anyway? Despite everything

They actually have something worthwhile, here.]

They do.

[They remember standing with Alphys and watching them burn into melted plastic and Bad Memories. Well, some it was too quick to label it that but it was the fact that nothing good but wedges and hate came from their plan. Best of intentions was a horrible, horrible thing.

But they have the other tape here, the one of Mother and Father and something tightens in their chest. Chara had their memories of them together, an almost impossible thing when they first saw it because -- well, because. But while the words had not lost their warmth, they had lost the sound. Toriel and Asgore...Asriel...yes, even that tape because they lost his laughter too.]


...there is a dirt patch outside. Small, but big enough for kids to play in.

[Fighting fire with fire just made a bigger mess. But sometimes it was better to just leave the dead buried in the ground.]

[Bury them, then. Frisk nods encouragingly, still careful in what they do and suggest. It's not their choice, right now.]

Do you want me to help?

[Or is this something Chara needs to do alone? They think there's some things in this they're better off not knowing; some secrets are more grave than just a name, some things they don't have a right to think about.

This isn't their secret. It's not up to them to share it.]

[Chara is...appreciative with how Frisk is handling this. Making it their choice. Offer fire, and then offer help but not an argument on how this was to be done. They smile a little but shake their head.]

I think this is something I must do on my own, Partner. But thank you for the offer.

[It hurts because they're being a hypocrite, the picture hidden under their bed that needed a better place to be kept away from Frisk. But that was a whole other can of worms not worth dwelling on just yet.]
