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! )

[ Viktor's expression softens again whn he realizes what Adachi is offering in turn. ]

Ah, maybe it's because of how harsh your world seemed to be?
sleight_of_hand: (Er... if you say so)

[personal profile] sleight_of_hand 2017-03-12 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Not... really.

[ Ugh, here comes more embarrassing backstory time. He stuffed some rice in his face first. ]

I... didn't really learn, not until recently, and it's a struggle trying to keep up with other people.

Hmm ... sounds a bit like Yuuri, really.

Maybe you can talk to him about it.
sleight_of_hand: (Foggy skies)

[personal profile] sleight_of_hand 2017-03-12 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[ He doubted it was the same, though. Yuuri very clearly had a support structure, had a talent. Adachi didn't even have that, but he wasn't going to get into it. At this point it would probably just sound like whining anyway. ]

[ Viktor leans in after a few beats of silent after that non-committal "maybe", leaning into Adachi's space across the table. He angles his head so he can look up into Adachi's face even with his head bowed. ]

You really should. You might be able to relate to each other.
sleight_of_hand: (Er... sure)

[ Viktor, are you aware of the definition of personal space? How about public menace? As soon as he realized the other man was in his bubble, he let out a faint noise, jumping back in his seat. ]

O-okay, okay! I will!

[ Sheesh, Viktor. He went to stuff his mouth with more food, only to realize he had finished. Oh. Well then. ]

...thanks for suggesting this place. [ A pause. ] I'll get the bill.

[ He leans back with a soft laugh. ]

Ah, thank you~ I'd offer to cover it myself, but my budget isn't what I'm used to here.
sleight_of_hand: (Er... if you say so)

[personal profile] sleight_of_hand 2017-03-12 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I figured. That'll probably change when things get off the ground though.

[ He handled paying for the meal as soon as the waitress came around again, leaving the a generous tip behind as well. ]

I certainly hope so, and that we get some sponsors soon.
sleight_of_hand: (You just don't see...)

[personal profile] sleight_of_hand 2017-03-12 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry; I'll work on that list for you.

[ He could already tell a few were out. Association with Stark would look bad after the bullshit he pulled, and a couple he remembered Dooku mentioned. Maybe it was just because of that last strangling he endured, but he really wanted to keep these guys as far away from him as possible. ]

I'll make it my primary case.

Thanks, Tohru. That'll be a big help.

How can I make it up to you?
sleight_of_hand: (I'm toooootally a good guy!)

[personal profile] sleight_of_hand 2017-03-12 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Heh... like I said, just let me know if you ever use my idea. It'd be cool to see.

Mmm! I'll start looking into it!
