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! )

He would want to kill me himself.

[ He says it as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world, as if every other imPort surely knows his crimes and the people connected to them. If he were in any normal state, he would know better, but he believes that Robbwind is meant to act as a neon sign for all his misdoings. ]

It’s his duty. He would be given no other choice.

[ Magnus certainly doesn't know the context to this whole hullabaloo, but he doesn't doubt that whoever this guy is would want to kill whoever he felt was responsible. Hell, Magnus would want to murder the shit out of anyone who did that to him, and he feels he would be perfectly justified in doing so.

But the kid's still saying three different things, and he would be given no other choice doesn't sound like the sort of thing you'd say about someone who would single-mindedly pursue the bloodthirsty lead of avenging their own death. ]


Okay, that would be his duty. But is that what he wants? Those are two totally different things.

No, they're not.

[ Theon looks frustrated. It’s difficult to explain the workings of Westeros and the North to someone who has never lived such a life, but it’s all Theon has ever known. Some things sound unfair, but what good does complaining about them do? He’s spent ten years not complaining about being punished for crimes that belong to his father. It isn’t as if anything would have changed. ]

He would want to do what his father would have done, and it would have been his duty to do so. Whatever other feelings he may have harbored would have meant nothing.

[ It’s really a pretty emotionally complicated situation when you really think about it. If Theon weren’t so upset, he might ask himself if Robb would have really been able to follow through with it. ]

Maybe when he was alive.

[ When you're dead, Magnus figures, your priorities must change. Death'll do that to a man. Things that are done just because that's how they've always been done probably means very little to the dead - or so he figures. He's never been dead enough to speak from personal experience, but he knows enough to know that trauma changes you, makes things that used to feel complicated feel simple, makes things that used to feel simple complicated. It's all just a part of being alive.

Or, well, dead. With a wolf head sewn on your neck. Hard to miss that one. ]


I obviously don't know the whole situation with... that. [ He gestures at the ghost, the gesture just casual enough to seem disrespectful. ] But it's something to think about.
