"Mini-Memoria" Plotting Post (it's a memshare player plot!)

 time to d-- memshare, everyone
 
UPDATE 2/3: here's a header for finding friends to experience memories with.
 
THE CONCEPT:

February 11th, Kuja's gonna finally attain his big furry supermode, and try to meld time & space to reach the origin of all life. Won't work. But what it WILL do is make weird, rippling auroras all over the place that will toss you into someone else's memory when you touch it! They'll appear anywhere in town, indoors and out, and can pop up very suddenly. Inside these wavering lights are vague visions of other places and times... if you get too close, you'll find yourself within that vision yourself.

They can be reasonably avoided; it's not covering the whole of town completely. These auroras vary in size, ranging from 'something you could find when you open a cabinet' to 'this is making crossing the street inconvenient.' After someone enters an aurora and experiences it, it disappears, and might reappear somewhere else.

Practically, what this is gonna look like is "Kuja turns red and more furry, makes a weird ominous magical orb in the middle of town, and is either stopped or tuckers himself out after half an hour."

The effects are going to start sometime in the evening, and end at midnight, because that's kind of the vibe in Austice, y'know? There's no obvious tell when the event starts, except... a slowly growing feeling that something is terribly wrong? Then the weird warps in reality start popping up like daisies, naturally.

The effects will last until the stroke of midnight, even with the dispersal of Kuja's.. funny pink orb. Getting rid of the orb will make it way less bad, making the auroras all much smaller and thus harder to notice.  Also, that feeling of doom will be gone, which is nice.

Characters who touch an aurora will be sucked into someone else's memory along with anyone close by, vanishing from the town until their experience of it concludes. But the memory doesn't have to come from one of the characters dragged in-- instead, we'll be cherry picking memories to experience from a communal bank everybody can choose to contribute to~!

You can also choose to put up closed memories for specific characters to see, since some things you might wanna have shared from your guy's backstory.. wouldn't work out so well getting released to the general public.

Beyond just canon memories, you can share experiences from ingame, too, but give a heads up to your thread partner if you ARE sharing an Austice scene!!

The way the memories play out ICly is really up to what you personally want to do with what people put out there.. one-and-done flashback? yeah! A movie you can move around in? I've always wanted to do that. Interactive area that gives out info as you press on it? Cool as hell!

SO UH.. DEALING WITH KUJA (you can skip to the tl;dr: if you're just here for memshare):

No one technically has to, since he's going to totally burn himself out after about half an hour on his own and give up forever on... whatever the hell he was trying to do, but if you want you can come give it a shot! He's set up shop at the memorial for the lost constructed months back by Rinne and Kotetsu, and the auroras are especially dense around him - after a certain point, you can't approach without going through one. I ask that 4 characters max enter the, uh, boss aurora together, because there's a lil puzzle room inside. After they escape, the boss aurora will vanish, and anybody can get through.

Boss fight team's assembled! It's Kokichi, Wave, Vivi, and Andy.

Kuja will be very manic and threaten people that try to stop him with scary pyrotechnics, but if spoken to he will talk plenty. When has Kuja not ran his mouth at every opportunity? He's not going to stop now of all times. Maybe you can talk him down...?

I have a solid idea for what's set off his supermode, ftr - he hasn't checked on his gem since before his first death(s), and it's in pret-ty rough shape after all that. I was thinking I could have checking the gem come up in a thread with someone, so if you're interested in that, let me know! Kuja will IMMEDIATELY be fleeing the scene after he transforms, zipping off to the memorial to start the show. Kinda seems like he planned this.

TL;DR:
  • Touch an aurora, experience a random person's memory alongside anyone nearby.
  • Canon or game memories are fair game, but please ask your thread partners if you use game memories!
  • Characters vanish from sight until the memory is over.
  • The auroras start appearing the evening of February 11th, and all vanish at midnight.
  • Please use the form below to submit memories to the collective memory bank if you're interested!
  • Try to find the center of all this madness and Kuja's there, feeding power into a glowy pink orb. After the first half hour he will either be there but too tired to keep feeding it magic, or somebody's stopped him, one way or another.
  • Even if you don't really have time to jump in on the event yourself, sharing memories for the bank is welcome!
  • GO FORTH AND PLOT

So, friends, let's make that memory bank!! Here's a form, and there's a header below to comment to with it. You're free to add as many as you want if you come up with more later. I'm erring on the side of 5-6 max per guy, myself.



Let's all have fun & advance or make CR in fresh exciting ways~!

Please use this post to toss ideas at each other about memories you want to share. You can find someone to experience some memories alongside, since... that gives you someone to roleplay with, unless what you want to thread out is the aftermath of experiencing it. That would be cool too!!! Go top level with your wildest dreams when the IC post goes up!!

...Qiqi will be blissfully blasé about the situation, wandering the Nest as per her usual.

I can't think of a lot of closed memories I could share for her off the top of my head, she's not got a TERRIBLY large amount of canon, but I'll be putting some in the bank for her. But that doesn't mean I'm not open to ideas.

If you need a °-° companion to keep (heh) cool during wtf this is, Qiqi is your gal.

Thanks so much Zazo for setting this up! Regarding memories, do the portals show altered/erased memories by the town or true memories? (Like say your character forgot someone's name, would their memory have that person's name or would there be weird static over it?)

rinne amagi | ensemble stars | yana

[personal profile] hanikamu 2023-02-01 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Rinne Amagi
Memory Prompts: Rinne had a very different personality when he was younger, so I'd like to give some characters a chance to see it. He was a smart, kind and noble kid. Maybe too smart...

  • Amagi village memories! Some images for vibes. I'm thinking of setting it up in a way that lets characters explore the village. I'm thinking of three memories:

    - Rinne and Hiiro playing in the forest and Rinne carrying Hiiro back home.

    - A young Rinne secretly escaping from the village and to the city and discovering a lot of things for the first time. Idols! Soda! Pizza!?

    - (cw: child abuse) Rinne being dragged back to the village, beaten up, and kept in a room for days as punishment.

  • Homeless/early career Rinne memories. Niki is notably absent in them when he actually finds a place to stay. It honestly makes no sense. That's because he forgot about Niki. His personality would still be nice and not annoying here. He was fairly successful as an idol until things happened.

  • Main story memories, like the parts where he hijacks concerts and makes anti-capitalist speeches and he's awful to Hiiro and disowns him. Rinne forgot his dream of becoming an idol, though, so some parts might be different.

  • Does anybody want to know how Rinne died the first and second time in Austice...


That's all I have! Let me know if you want to plot or work with something in particular. Rinne will be curious about the auroras and want to dispel them before anyone sees him being cute, but I'm busy with personal matters at the moment, so I won't be involving him in that. Hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] vinea or Yana#3967 on Discord if you want to plot!

eula lawrence / genshin impact / blair

[personal profile] disagree 2023-02-01 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Name: blair

Memory Prompts: okay so tbh i just want people to explore mondstadt in her point of view, kind of like how eula's story quest plays out? good news is that we can explore mondstadt, wheeee!! bad news is that you and eula will get kicked out of every establishment and be actively hated on just because you're hanging out with her.... that's fun.

alternatively i could make up some stuff in her childhood since we know that she went through hellish training by her family. wanna know why she can endure the cold as a kid? or general rough education by her own tutors? let me know via [plurk.com profile] flowerworks or kagamihara#8796 and ill pen you in!

Byleth Eisner | Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes

[personal profile] fishfearme 2023-02-01 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Byleth
Memory Prompts:

⁂ For Three Hopes Byleth, there's only two canon scenes I can link for a memory prompt, one of which is when he was possessed by Sothis. Since he's forgotten how to use Divine Pulse, however, Sothis ZAWARDOing Shez appears as teleportation - much like in the cutscene.

⁂ Second one is when Arval hijacked Shez's body and tried to murder Byleth (there's so much possession in this game). Basically Byleth fighting for his GODDAMN LIFE while actually trying not to hurt Shez, since he's clearly under someone else's control.

⁂ For general memories: one of the many battlefields Byleth has fought on, where his overwhelming power has his enemies calling him 'demon' or 'monster'. Byleth himself shows no emotion when cutting his enemies down, and seems very much like he's just walking to the market to get eggs or milk or something. Notably, however, he doesn't attack enemies who have either surrendered or flee from him. He only eliminates threats, after all.

If people want to have specific memories (like, childhood ones or something), I can hash stuff out. But those two above are what anyone can nab, if they have a character who wants to empathise with possession or dehumanisation or whatnot. There would've been the memory where Jeralt told him about the whole Crest Stone functioning as his heart deal but.... Byleth's forgotten that, lol.

Name: Barnaby Brooks Jr.

Memory Prompts: Barnaby has a much darker past than he likes to let on under his superhero facade, and there are certain things about his current circumstances back home he just won't talk about, so this could be a good way to get to know him better. Some ideas:

- Right before he arrived in Austice, Barnaby sacrificed himself in a museum bombing in order to protect one of the museum staff. He took a direct blast from a bomb, and as Kotetsu informed him, he has been in a coma since. So even if he escapes Helltown for good, there's no guarantee he'll survive when he gets home. He hasn't told any of his CR about this and has no plans to, so memshare is perfect for it.

- His Batman origin story. His parents were murdered when he was a child, and he spent the next twenty years of his life obsessed with vengeance. He's mellowed out since and realises there are better things to live for than revenge, but seeing a memory like this would help others understand why he became a hero to begin with, and why he's caring towards young orphans like Anya.

- That one time Barnaby went brainwashed and feral and tried to kill Kotetsu. he... he got better??? But they've had a complicated history compared to the partnership they have today.

I'm also down for other ideas you might find interesting, even if it's just day to day stuff like what superhero work looks like for Kotetsu and Barnaby, since a lot of non-modern characters don't have a frame of reference for it. just lmk!

Marcus Grimm | Tales of the Rays

[personal profile] tigrisfang 2023-02-01 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Marcus Grimm

Memory Prompts: Here's the grab bag of "do you want to learn terrible things about the Rays world? about Phil? get to know Marcus a little better?" I'm open to a lot of different things, but some of the low hanging fruit here while I decide what I'll write up:

  • Clone shenanigans: Rays world has a lot of clone situations going on. Just... so many clones and identity issues.

    - Meet Marcus' least favorite Phil as they cordially try to kill each other! Featuring the most innocuous reason Marcus was finishing his drink for the "underhanded methods" NHIE.

    - See Marcus bickering with his alternate self, also featuring an adorable mini-Phillip. I can either unseal the nebulously canon interdimensional amusement park lore for this (no I will not explain unless my sinful hand is forced) or I can write up possible headcanon scenes.

  • World shenanigans: The "what's wrong with Tir Na Nog" assortment goes here. War memories, void memories, 'why are your monsters fused with particles of people's souls' memories.

  • Clown bin: More lighthearted memories to destroy Marcus' dignity. Marvel at his poise as a leader of a cool militia (real) (not clickbait). Also, while Rays has never given him an official little fairy form I'd be delighted to do something with this.

It'd be funny if Dain gets to see a memory of Marcus when he is absolutely still in very rude-tier mode earlier on and tries to kill the MC.

Or alternatively, void memories.

...Honestly, it'd be funny for them to have a nasty exploration time in Mondstadt, it's fine. It'd be like a new perspective of a place he's well familiar with.

[personal profile] anbruch 2023-02-01 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Diluc Ragnvindr
Memory Prompts: Diluc has lived a very colorful life despite being only 22-23 years old. That said, here is a sampling that may be subject to change:
🔺 Strolling through the long, winding rows of the vineyard outside the winery's mansion as a child of ten. It's a snatched little piece of a thing, but it's accompanied by occasional bursts of running, hiding — pausing in the shade to give perfect, ripened grapes over to a young boy who looks suspiciously like a certain (albeit much younger) Calvary Captain. Each time you sit and chat, you can feel your face break into a smile that rivals the sun.

🔺 Dancing to a jaunty, upbeat tune in what appears to be military barracks. You're tipsy and flushed in the face, but your dance partner with the high turtleneck (and blue hair?) leads you through the movements without breaking a sweat. You're getting the steps down for your father's upcoming gala and you can't quite make eye contact. Your heart pounds in your chest as you're playfully spun and dipped.

🔺 You're lying on your back in the raw of a sprawling taiga. The stars above are innumerable, immovable pinpricks of light in the suffocating darkness. Everything throbs like a singular bruise and you're so warm despite the billowing shape of your breath in front of your face. Against your back, the ground is sticky with a mixture of blood and melted hoar. Your vision spots, but you press your hand over your heart. You can feel the letters that you've been sent within the lining of your coat. It gives you a moment to think about what you might have done better. Where you might have gone wrong.

You don't cry at all.

🔺 You're barely ten when the wind and rain blows in another person in the middle of the night. He's small, smaller than you are. He looks cold and wet and frightened. He doesn't cling to your father's pant leg, but he stays just out of full view of you. Your heart stutters with a vicious and irrepressible warmth.
