[EVENT] March Memory Madness
Characters: Everyone!
Date: March 5-9
Location: All around Aifaran
Situation: The Dreaming is a bit enthusiastic about the research at the Aisling Tower. Memories ensue.
Warnings/Rating: Shouldn't need any, but add to subject lines as needed!
Outside the Aisling Tower, the first clue anyone will have that something is wrong is small. Little things: trinkets lost, but fondly remembered, appearing in your hand when you reach for something else. A snatch of song that tugs your heartstrings.
That alone might have been nice. Unfortunately, things escalate quickly.
How did memories get loose on Aifaran?
Science Fair
Well that all went a bit wrong. Researchers at the Aisling Tower sent out a request for volunteers, hoping to get to the root causes of just why Dreamfolk frequently wind up with memory loss. The tests are reasonably painless beyond the occasional blood samples taken and rather tedious questionnaire volunteers must fill out.
And then there’s the machine.
It’s not big or scary looking - just a small, strangely organic looking earpiece linked up to a console used to measure neural oscillations. All very new, high-tech stuff that the researchers just barely control their enthusiasm about. Again, the tests are mostly tedious. Just a lot of sitting around while researchers display pictures, ask questions, have you smell a variety of scents, and other things to spark various mental associations. Though side-effects may include dizziness and nausea afterwards. It’s still a little bit too ‘mad science’ for some, even if the researchers involved don’t even cackle maniacally even once.
But as all things of this nature must go, something takes a turn for the weird.
Memories On Display
The Dreaming takes an interest, insofar as much as an omnipresent force of nature can be assumed to take an interest - maybe it just reacted strangely to the mental probing of the Dreamfolk. The how, for now, is not important.
The immediate problem is that memories are running rampant in the city - and not just from volunteers for the little research project, but also any Dreamfolk who come in contact with them. It starts off small - little things appearing in and out of your peripheral vision such as an old toy or a beloved pet. Maybe the echo of friendly laughter, or the incomplete form of a first love’s smile. These flashes of memory only grow more potent, however, as entire scenarios begin to play out for you and those in your proximity - just as vividly as you remember them. And just as accurately as you perceive them.

OOC Notes: Your characters will have the option of seeing memories play out, and/or being drawn into a mind-share memory experience-- basically, however you want to play it, the Dreaming will accommodate! It's also more than possible that the Dreaming will oblige if someone really wants to show someone else something specific-- but there may always be a little more than bargained for.
There is a specific starter for shenanigans at the Aisling Tower but the rest of the post is open!
Please address questions regarding the event to the monthly agenda post.

She set her elbow on her knee, resting her chin on her palm as she recalled more fond memories.
"He wasn't like the demons on my world. He was honest and kind, even if he was rather loud at times. Not a manipulative or mean bone in him. He just wanted to do what was right, though I'm not sure he always knew what that was." She laughed, "I'm fairly certain he was working for the guy I was trying to dethrone back in Keeliai, but I never worked too hard to confirm it, and it probably wouldn't have changed how I felt."
She glanced sideways at Devin, "They weren't very good jokes, but I didn't have much of a sense of humor back then."
no subject
This was uncharted territory for them, in some ways. Valdis had seen Devin's past ripped open by the Dreaming, and they had certainly talked in some depth about their circumstances. His more than hers, it seemed sometimes, but perhaps that was self-centered thinking. Discussing Dante was... more like friendship, and less about alliances based on their ability to kill each other. Personal in a way that was bittersweet, but not so prone to sharpness and pain. He hoped, anyway.
"What is right and what is wrong is so rarely clear," he sighed, looking out at the garden. "But I think trying to do what is right will usually lead a person in a direction that has a positive impact, although sometimes at great cost to themselves." Devin paused, considered his words carefully. "He changed the way you saw the world, didn't he? I'd like to have met him."
no subject
She sighed, pulling herself out of her memories, looking at him with amusement, "I'll be honest," She said, "He wouldn't have liked you much. He'd probably have challenged you to a duel on more than one occasion. All the while yelling at you about honor and being a gentleman." She tipped her head, "Dante was a bit of a hothead, at the very least you'd have had fun provoking him."
She may not have appreciated Devin provoking Dante though. The two of them would have been at odds from the start had they been on the turtle at the same time.
no subject
"Oh, lord, yes I would," Devin agreed with a laugh. "That almost sounds too easy. Dueling could have been interesting, though I'm rather out of practice and the mercenary isn't around any longer to keep me on my toes," he replied with light amusement. Things would have been different if Devin had met Valdis while Dante was still around, he imagined. Quite different, indeed. "Well, at least the Dreaming saw fit to bring something a bit more positive to light than it sometimes does."
no subject
Her relationship with Devin would have been very different if Dante were still here, if she and Dante were still together. She suspected they would have never reached a point of understanding.
Valdis looked at him, "Kratos isn't the only one who can use a sword," she commented, offering a small smile, "I have some skill, though apparently it has been awhile since I've used it. What did they say? 566 years or something?"
