weep not for the memories
WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: all cities
WHEN: March 4 - March 6
WHAT: it's a catch-all log, sucka! Tag here and thread around for the Dorian Ruins Everything Guilt Extravaganza part of the overall March plot. Please check out this ooc post for details!
WARNINGS: Traumatic memories. Possible talk of murder, death, blood, other nasty things. I'll try to update if the warnings needed but please use content warnings if it gets super nasty!
It starts off on March 4th, the early morning before the sun's even risen. You know those weird mirages that were hanging around the day before? Well now it's getting a little personal.
These mirages come and go seemingly for no reason. They might stay for a minute, they might stay for an hour. The images vary between person but the unifying factor is that the mirages consist of people the player characters have hurt, whether people in-game or from their homes. Whether they murdered them, slandered them, or even had a petty little argument, the unifying factor is the guilt each character feels towards or about this mirage. After all, you know you hurt them somehow. You know their existence somehow makes you feel guilty.
Another unifying factor? The creepy way these mirages just seem to stick to you. They'll follow you if you try to leave, staring you down with their creepy unblinking mirage eyes. And whoops: everybody can see said mirages. Hopefully you're not being stalked by someone you and somebody else both know, wouldn't that be awkward?
Have fun confronting your traumatizing past and/or wondering why your buddy's got some creepy ghost guy following him, imPorts!
( ooc: this is a catch-all log! Make starters of your characters getting haunted by their creepy mirages, have other people react to said creepy mirages, ???, profit. Hit me up on the ooc post if you have any questions! )

"Here you go." John straightens up again. It's only then he notices the little girl marching around them and smiles, mirroring his wife's expression. It's hard not to think of Rosie when he sees other children these days, but he looks back at Erik when he senses Mary's unflinching gaze on his neck.
John. The spaghetti?
"Sorry."
no subject
"You have children?"
no subject
He doesn't know if I'm dead or not. John, you can't live like this. Tell him.
"Uh yeah, just the one. Rosie. She's back home."
no subject
"Rosie, that's a pretty name." He doesn't know what he should say after that. Go home, think about how lucky you are, and when you disappear from here, make sure she knows how much you love her?
He doesn't get the chance to finish his thoughts, as Nina distracts him by going over as if to introduce herself to Mary. He knows they can't see each other-- maybe they can-- but it gives him a small glimmer of hope that they might both just. Appear.
no subject
John is surprised he hasn't seen Rosie toddling along after him. He has a lot to feel guilty about regarding his beautiful, precious daughter. He neglected her when she needed him the most; when he was unable to cope with his own complicated grief and there was a tense moment where he thought he would die without saying goodbye to her. Still -- he would love to see her again. If only for a moment.
"She was named after a good woman." He can hear a snatch of Mary's laughter before he reminds him of her past. A past that caught up to her in the end and took her from him and Rosie.
"Her mother. She, uh, passed away when she was still very young."
no subject
"I'm sorry." No one should have to grow up without a mother. And no man should have to lose his wife. "Do you think they're trying to tell us something?"
no subject
Darling, you still feel guilty for cheating on me. John's gaze flickers to the mirage of his wife. He really can't argue with that and suddenly, the string of clients in his flat the other morning make sense. Clever boy! Now you're getting it.
"Yeah. I could be wrong, but I think it has something to do with feeling guilty. Maybe someone's powers have gone haywire and we're just filling in the blanks for them."
no subject
And time manipulation...
Erik is thinking it's most likely that the person is a new arrival, unaware of what they're doing. That often happens when powers come out of nowhere, in his experience.
