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! )

Most likely. No possible way to keep us completely safe. But, we learned as we explored, too.

[ He nods at his next question, looking rather excited at the prospect. Even now, he wants to know more, too. ]

It's true. Though, that's part of what makes being here exciting, isn't it? ... Gramps would want us to have this opportunity, too.

I thought our goal of exploring back home was a big one. But this....a whole new world. Gramps would want us to make the most of it.

[He'd always encouraged them to explore. Always had known and expected that Sorey would eventually broaden his horizons and learning by traveling outside the protection of Zenrus' domain. The human world.

This is no different, really. Just a new surrounding to explore and learn about.]

That's right.

[ Sorey looks like he's cheered up. He's... really glad for that. That was his goal in confronting him like this.

He looks to Gramps before looking away quickly, heart heavy once more. ]


... But, the ghost right there -- my guess is that it's an illusion.

I tried to -- we can't touch him. So...I think you're right, Mikleo.

[His mood seems to drop a little at that glance back to the figure of Zenrus. Sensing that the water seraph isn't handling this much if any better, but trying to cheer up and keep what Mikleo says in mind. To think of the better times they had with the elder lightning seraph.]

... It likely isn't an illusion arte, but... something else is making him appear.

[ And really, if they could figure out what the cause of it is, they can... try to make it disappear. Or, at least fade. ]

Some powers? Or some messed up technology like the Porter?

[Mikleo probably has no more idea than he does. But Sorey tries, all the same. To consider. Powers getting out of hand isn't uncommon. And there's the Porter itself as well in bringing them here. Maybe something went amiss with it?]

... There's no telling unless we investigate it for ourselves.

[ His hand lowers, finding Sorey's - taking it into his own and offering a squeeze. He knows that this... This can't be easy for him, though-- it's not easy for either of them. ]
historiology: (Will steer)

I guess. Or if someone else does and shares what they figure out. I just...hope it stops soon.

[Talking to Mikleo -- this helps. As he reaches for the other's hand, easily entwining it and their fingers. But it's still not easy to be confronted like this about what they did. What happened to Zenrus.]

... Me, too. For Gramps, too.

[ His expression moves downwards, avoiding looking at Gramps. It's... hard for him, too. Still, he wanted to be strong. ]
historiology: (Ascending)

[personal profile] historiology 2017-04-01 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Mikleo, you haven't....?

[Been seeing anyone else? Sorey doesn't think he's noticed anyone else, any other potentially familiar faces that might indicate the water seraph might be experiencing the same himself. But that doesn't mean he might not have just missed it, given his being preoccupied over seeing Zenrus again.]
