Memory Sharicus - Oh No, not again!

[heromedal]

About 8 am on July 15th, Rex does something stupid in his usual genius way. It was meant to be a small, simple test run of a method to scan a person and instantly gain all the data he needed to produce a Phantom.

The small field the spell was meant to spread just kept growing, until popping like a bubble with the most counterintuitive sound of all- two seconds of white noise, sounding as if it was coming from inches away. Not everyone heard it. But everyone who did...

It's a painless process, almost ticklish and instantaneous as numerous coloured orbs fly out from their chest, taking wild curving trajectories that launch them all over the academy and some of Soleil, coming to a sudden stop and hovering silently for just a few seconds.

That's when they start to slowly float towards the nearest possible recipient of the memory they contain, accelerating as they get closer as if thought and mind have a unique sort of magnetism.

It's sort of beautiful to see, really, not that Rex will notice because 60% of his mind is consumed with fear he will get into trouble and the Phantom project will be compromised. On the other hand, the Phantom project could provide the perfect scapegoat. So about six hours after the initial event, he released his latest creation- the Phantom mischief-maker, Waggery!

What a disaster.

(( ooc: The planning post is here! Be careful to warn for the nastier memories! If you already have memories planned to share, feel free to write them as a top level or just put up your character and link to the planning/make it a free for all. There'll be a post below for Waggery shenanigans and random NPC memories up for grabs. ))

[Let's do it.]

[ you feel small, but it's because you're young. towering over you are two adults with loving smiles as you tinker around with building blocks. legos, to be precise. you're almost done building your first ever tower, and there are only a handful of pieces left to complete its assembly.

the man speaks first: ] Wonderful job, Asami! [ and then the woman: ] You're almost there, sweetheart. I'm so proud of you.

[ you look up at them with a wide smile on your face. you're so happy that you were born a sato. you hold out your arms and run towards them, pulling them into a hug. ]

Thanks, mom and dad. This is the best Christmas present ever!

[It's...it's so mundane, and so cute, and it makes her instantly jealous in some ways but that's alright. Jill just didn't have that kind of life, and that had to be okay. She shakes herself a little, checks the register to make sure nobody stole anything from the bar while she was spaced the hell out, and clocks out early without a word.

She wants to find Asami and say...something. She doesn't know what. Warn her, maybe? That her memories are on the loose? Or maybe...thank you. Because she's holding those feelings in her heart with a vice grip, and she gets to pretend they're hers for a little while at least, and that's worth something.]

[ when jill does run into asami, she's sitting near the fountain in the main courtyard with a notebook in hand. she seems to be jotting down some notes on...something, like she's very deep in thought. huh. ]

[shadowmaster69]

[Jill almost doesn't want to interrupt her, but. She'd want to know, wouldn't she? Jill knows SHE would want to know. She clears her throat.]

Hey, Asami. Got a second?

[electricities]

Oh! Hey, Jill!

[ she's completely fine with putting her thoughts to rest for a second. she closes her book and gives jill her full attention. ]

Sure. How can I help you?

[shadowmaster69]

I, uh. Saw something earlier?

[That makes her sound perfectly sane, she's sure.]

I think it was a memory. But it was your memory, for some reason. I guess I just thought you should know.

[electricities]

[ oh.

that...gets her to pause. she frowns, because her memories are so mixed and asami is trying to prepare herself for the worst. ]

Which...one, exactly?

[shadowmaster69]

It wasn't bad at all, if that's what you're thinking -

[Should have led with that, to be honest.]

You were...really, really happy. You were playing with legos - y-you were a kid, obviously, it was just. It was a really nice memory, I just feel like I wasn't supposed to see it.
