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. ))

[ This must be referring to another memory. He has no shortage of happy ones, at least, despite what his stoic demeanor might suggest. ]

They were, yes. Some of my charges.

[ A slight change, the barest hint of a smile, crosses his face. Even speaking of them makes his demeanor a little warmer, a little more unguarded. ]

I have to assume you got something more pleasant than most.

[It is quite sweet to see the change in expression, the affection he has for his charges, but Grimm does not bring it up. He teases Ekkehardt enough about being adorable (in his strange opinion on the matter) so he lets it lie for the moment.]

It appears so. You were in the Outlands, making quite the pillow for the children and a borzoi. A quiet moment in time. A shame I cannot photograph memories.

[He desires the happiness for others and that clearly was one of those moments.]

[spelleton]

[ If it was about the children he cares for, he wouldn't mind. He's too stiff to prefer it in casual conversation, but he'll let down his guard for this. ]

I'm fortunate to have many such memories. The situation you describe isn't a rare one. [ His smile quirks. ] Perhaps I spoil my dog a little too much, though. She likes to think I exist solely for her amusement.

I find an indescribable joy in dance and battle but moments of peace are just as beautiful. It truly is good you have these memories, my friend.

[He still remembers Ekkehardt's comment about his nightmares. Grimm knows well it does not work this way, but he hopes there is more dreams of happier times then what haunted the other man.]

I cannot imagine why. [So says the person who appeared to do things solely for his own amusement.] But I am certain she loves you in her own unique way.

[Like everyone who is friends with Ekkehardt. For better or for embarrassing.]
