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. ))

[Well. This is about what she should be expecting, isn't it? Everything is about what she's done. She's proven herself a monster, and everybody has to comment on it.]

No. I didn't.

[She sighs.]

But I'm not going to pretend I don't deserve to be punished for it.

[shadowmaster69]

Punished for what? Having someone play puppet master with your thoughts?

[The words are accompanied by a faint scoff and Jill shakes her head, mildly amused.]

Then I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. I needed to hear you say it to know whether or not it was true. Hope you aren't too mad at me for that.

[She holds out a hand for Adelaide to shake, should she choose.]

Truce, I hope? I'm not going to be offended if you tell me to fuck off, though.

[transfusionem]

Well- Yeah, I guess.

[She laughs softly, helplessly.

She reaches for her hand, shaking it slowly.]

I'll take a truce, if you're offering it.

[It goes unspoken, but she's not...mad at her. Why would she be? She's just concerned about her friend.]

[shadowmaster69]

Nice. Then here's hoping they find whoever cast that spell. What an asshole, honestly.

[If she's accepting a truce, she probably isn't too pissed about being approached (probably for the hundredth time) about something she didn't really do entirely of her own volition. Still, this really does reset any good will to zero for both of them, she's sure.]

Other than being terrorized by anonymous mages, you doing okay?

[She's. Guessing that if you were being controlled, you didn't come out the other side without a few feelings of your own.]

[transfusionem]

Apparently I'm not the only person they've hit. They got Toki, too, and-

[She cuts herself off, scoffing. She sounds angry at the mention of Toki, but she manages to reign in her temper.]

I've...certainly been doing. But I'll be fine.

[It...is what it is.]

[shadowmaster69]

[Jill raises an eyebrow at the first part. Multiple targets, and people aren't being warned...? Although her expression falls back into a neutral place, she's equally surprised that Adelaide has just "been doing". Although she supposes the girl probably isn't as straightforward as she is, especially with someone she barely knows.]

Yeah? You know where to find me if that changes.

[She just doesn't push unless there's no avoiding it.]

[transfusionem]

Yeah, of course. The Hog's Swill, right?

[Just...to double check. She doesn't want to burden Jill with her problems, not when she doesn't even know the half of it, but she can't just...

Tell her that.]

[shadowmaster69]

Yup. Night shifts, obviously, but you know. I'm there. Hell, as long as it isn't in the late morning or afternoon, I'm usually in Aube and awake.

[transfusionem]

Obviously.

[She nods.]

Well...if I feel the need to talk, I'll come find you.
