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! )

[Dooku's sudden appearance is a mixed blessing. Jesse would prefer to remain composed around him at all times, but it's nice to see a friendly(???) face. He turns to Dooku, waving back toward the apparition with dismissive exasperation.]

This goddamn thing... I can't shake it and it's freaking people out. What is it? Some necromancy horseshit? It's an illusion, right?

[Because you better believe he's tried and failed to shove it away from him.]

Hm.

[The Count clutches his hand into a fist, calling upon the Dark Side. His powers find no purchase or grip to the image, no matter to affect. He lowers his arm.]

It is indeed an illusion. It cannot hurt you. Though its appearance- [He steps closer, and wrinkles his nose at 'Gale's' exposed brain.]- is hardly desirable.

Do you recognize this man?

[The illusion hasn't so much as acknowledged the Count, remaining fixated on Pinkman. Which suggests a connection.]

["Hardly desirable" is such an understatement, Jesse can't help but laugh, though the sound is mirthless and edged with anxiety.]

Yeah, I know him. Not from here. Back home.

[Jesse's doing all he can to avoid looking at the thing, and turns his eyes skyward.]

I didn't know him for long, either.

[Dooku might have guessed from the gunshot wound.]

[Ever helpful, the Count moves to stand between Pinkman and the shade, partly to get a closer look at it, partly to screen the grim sight from Jesse's eyes.]

I sense accusation in his gaze. A resentment. And I think I can guess why.

[He doesn't come out and say 'so, you totally shot this man in the head, didn't you?' That would be impolite. Better to come at it sideways, with delicacy, in the hopes that Pinkman will explain.]

Yup. Yeah. You're guessing right.

[Jesse sweeps his gaze over their surroundings, but no one's within earshot, and his eyes settle on Dooku again.]

He was a nice guy, you know? He just had to go. It'd be great if he'd go again. I seriously don't need everybody putting this together.

I understand. Sometimes things must be done which are not... Pleasant.

[Master Sifo-Diyas had been nice too, and a good deal more tolerable than the other Jedi. He had seen the future along with Dooku, and been willing to break boundaries to do what was necessary. But he had also become a loose thread, and when Sidious had commanded the thread be cut, Dooku had not hesitated.]

It may be best for you to stay out of the public eye until a solution can be found for these... Visitors. This is clearly a private matter.
