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. ))

[ James stops and sighs. So much for just... pretending this didn't happen. ]

Some memory of you as a child. I didn't mean to run into the bubble.

[ It was more like the bubble ran into him anyhow. ]
thegoofball: (huh)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2019-07-22 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
[If you wanted to pretend, you should have been less obvious!]

Oh. [Well, at least that means it probably wasn't anything bad.] It's fine, it's fine. They're pretty hard to avoid.

[He waves a hand, dismissing the total invasion of privacy.]
onebetter: (listening)

[personal profile] onebetter 2019-07-22 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Your family's pretty close, huh?

[ If they're already talking, he might as well ask about that. James doesn't really remember many happy mundane scenes like that. Most events in his early life that he can still recall were either negative or extraordinary in some way, like family trips. ]
thegoofball: (go to sleep)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2019-07-23 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...yeah?

[He blinks at that. What family isn't close? Well - there's Ana's family, just leaving her behind, but that's more of an exception than the rules. (An exception that makes him feel sick to his stomach, but an exception nonetheless.)]

Of course I am.
onebetter: (the gaze of longing)

[personal profile] onebetter 2019-07-25 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
... yeah, figures. Guess the only reason I never heard about you from Veronica is because we only met once or twice.

[ Weird. Just.... really weird. Sweet but weird. ]
thegoofball: (Default)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2019-07-25 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs, giving James a once over.]

Guess so? I don't know, it's not like the Garrison is really a place to talk about your family.
onebetter: (listening)

It's a workplace. Coworkers chat. Coworkers especially like to chat when they're over for a business dinner at our home and my father has left to tend to the dessert.

[ They then stop liking to chat when they notice a small James sitting in the corner with owl-big eyes, listening. ]
thegoofball: (locked and loaded)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2019-08-01 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but it's not like Veronica was in the Garrison very long. Doubt she was going to any big old shindigs or business dinners.

[Sheesh, James, it's not that big a deal.]
onebetter: (contemplation)

[personal profile] onebetter 2019-08-05 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, she was at our place once.

[ .... which makes it very embarrassing that he absolutely never made the connection between her and Lance... ]
thegoofball: (ugh!)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2019-08-06 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why were you so surprised I was here?!

[James. Honestly. Please. You're killing him.]
onebetter: (but mooooom)

[personal profile] onebetter 2019-08-06 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You and your sister don't look that similar!
onebetter: (oh yikes)

[personal profile] onebetter 2019-08-06 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No? There are more Latin-American people out there than just your family!

[ He's just trying to save his dignity. ]
thegoofball: (we need to stop them)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2019-08-06 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[The look he levels at James is incredibly unimpressed. Honestly, he's wrong, and should admit that he's wrong.]

Yeah, and not all of them look like a girl version of me.
onebetter: (mission argument)

[personal profile] onebetter 2019-08-09 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
She's got long hair and glasses!

[ ..... ]
thegoofball: (now you have my attention)

[personal profile] thegoofball 2019-08-10 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just. The blankest look.

Seriously, James?]
onebetter: (bored)

[personal profile] onebetter 2019-08-10 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ SHRUGS. ]
