Event Post: Memories Past

THE RUNDOWN
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

Don't worry about the brutality or the CW of the memories, Atem is a tough cookie and has seen some shit, I think it'd help understand her a lot more and be more protective and careful around her. I also like my fair share of gore and other stuff no worries, just yeah, not all the time lmao! I think the balance between those two memories could work wonders, all I can offer is headcanons of his childhood, unfortunately, but she might be able to see that he and his dad were really close, with no mom figure around if that's a thing to be noticed. Awful memories go from finding out his uncle lied to everyone when he created the Millennium Items—wiping an entire town to do so— to him fighting Zorc, see all his loved ones die while protecting him and maybe eventually giving his life to save his people, compared to Sharon's memories they are not as graphic I must admit. There is also the millennia he spent inside one of those Items, wandering alone without knowing what was happening and eventually forgetting himself.

Now that I think about it, I've been avoiding tho get too detailed about the whole "sharing a space with a demon for millennia" thing, it's all headcanon and not the good kind but maybe we can poke that too.

And of course there are card games, so many card games... "if you lose the duel your lose your soul" kind of card games!

oh hey i just remembered, he did not forget absolutely everything from Hadriel. the worse thing he's gone through was Yukari nearly killing him, it'd probably lead to Sharon judging him really badly if she found out he's living now with the guy lmao, too trusty this one... but yeah those are my options! i might try to think of more! sorry!
