heromedal: (Oooooh no.)

Memory Sharicus - Oh No, not again!

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. ))

[ He looks visibly uncomfortable, even with half his face obscured, which would probably be funny if it wasn't

this.

Your wedding.

[ His mouth tightens, a bit. ] My apologies.

[ What is the apology for? Seeing it? For whatever happened in between then and now to change him? That they're having this conversation at all? Something else?

He doesn't know. But he feels like he should, anyway.

[He isn't sure whether this is better or worse than he could have hoped. There probably isn't an answer.]

Oh. That.

[He waves it off, pretending it's nothing.]

We all make mistakes. It's not that big of a deal.

[ He should probably leave it at that ]

It didn't feel like one.

[ and then that comes out of his mouth and he visibly winces. It might be funny. ]

Never mind.

[ This isn't the worst conversation he's ever had, but it's certainly the most awkward one he's had in some time. ]

[Were the conversation about something else, he'd be tempted to take a picture. As it is, he's just feeling more and more exhausted.]

Look. Hindsight is 20/20. As far as I'm concerned, she and I are divorced.

[He scoffs.]

She's probably dead anyway.

Mm.

[ It's amazing how in a very short noise, he manages to convey a great deal of doubt. He knows a little of Subcon. He knows there's parts of it that are frozen, and barren, rather than dark and tangled.

He reads the mission reports, too. All of that adds up to something he doesn't like the feeling of.

But he's already walking out the office door anyway because he did what he came here to do, so. It's fine and they can both sort of just forget this ever happened.
