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. ))

I understand.

[And despite the horrific scene a moment ago, he does feel a pang of sympathy.]

I'm sorry. That's a difficult sort of pain to deal with.

[He knows how precious memory can be.]

Perhaps one day he will remember more. For now, for all of us who take up the name "Grimm", we shall help him discover the old and greet the new.

[Grimm knows what he will lose, one day. His memory of the Troupe and all that came with it will vanish. That is the price one has to pay for holding this flame within them.

That is his choice.]

But I thank you for the concern.

[It sounds like a sort of deep cultural thing. Religious even. He was never a very religious man, relatively. Raised around those who were deeply so, he knows a thing or two, but his devotion could never stay there. But discovering the old and greeting the new, that he can wrap his head around.]

Then I wish you luck. And if there ever is anything I can do... you just come find me and I'll do my best.

[Religious...it is not quite that. But the Grimm Troupe and Grimm himself have always believed in the matter of choice and free will. The future, even if one is changed by the past. The inevitable will catch up to all one day. But not today.

Grimm smiles and bows.]

You are kind, my friend. Thank you for your offer.
