Event Post: Memories Past
THE RUNDOWN
THE DETAILS
THE OVERVIEW
You know that embarrassing moment you can't seem to forget? Or maybe your saddest moment, or your most fond memory? The things you hold close, the things that keep you going or possibly just contribute to the kind of trauma you should be talking to a therapist about? Well, it's time to share them, whether you like it or not. Starting November 14th, even the most casual physical contact can transmit memories.
A handshake, a hug, a kiss on the cheek - even just an accidental brush past. When skin touches skin, you might get a glimpse at someone's most precious memory. Or they might see yours... and you might have no control over what they see. So start wearing gloves, or don't. Maybe it's a weight off your shoulders to share these things. Maybe this will finally let you understand your loved ones (and your enemies) better.
THE DETAILS
An accidental touch means any memory could be shared (including the most embarrassing ones) but if the character is thinking about something specific at the time, that will be what they're most likely to share. However, it's also possible to share memories deliberately, and in that case they'll get to choose what they share. All the character needs to do is focus on the memory they want to transmit and touch someone - easy!
If two characters brush against one another, then it's up to the players whose memory is transferred - or it could be that both characters get memories from one another. The effects of the memory sharing are instantaneous, with the character 'viewing' the memory experiencing it in its full duration in their mind throughout the course of several seconds in real life. They cannot affect the memory, only watch it play out, and whether it's from the perspective of the person whose memory it is or from the perspective of an outside observer is up to you.
Characters will only be able to deliberately transmit memories that they actually remember, but accidental transmission could unearth forgotten or even deliberately suppressed memories. Of course, the person who's memory it is won't remember - so enjoy that awkward moment where you try to convince them that really did happen to them!
THE OVERVIEW
► November 14th: It begins
► November 20th: It's safe to touch people again - for now

In Adam's canon, there's a magical forest that's powered by/part of a ley line near their town. It's very magically powerful and has a consciousness of its own, though nothing human-like. The forest itself can also provide access to the power of ley lines and other wacky magic shit. Needless to say, anyone who awakens and controls the forest & the ley lines will have access to a lot of power. At the beginning of the series, it's sleeping, more or less.
Fairly early in the series, Adam, in a super bright move that is not spur of the moment and that he definitely totally thought through first (he did not), sacrifices himself (or more specifically, some of his autonomy) to awaken that power. This is to prevent someone else from doing it and ultimately ends up causing their death, so I guess I should have mentioned a CW for... uh... that. Adam's fine though.
So this memory would be the moment when he makes that sacrifice and the moments surrounding it!
