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! )

it's true, I am a hero and an inspiration

Depends on the manner of "complicated". Some shapes of it are more sympathetic than others.

( Logically she realises the difference between leaders and politicians and the common people, but— it is not an easy separation to make, when wars are being fought, and the common people are killing the common people of another place. She shrugs - her tone, at least, is somewhat self aware. )

Greece is not always so angelic, though. ( A moment of pause, and she holds her hand out to shake. ) Eunike Karahalios.

( Ev-knee-key. )

Nice to meet you, um... Eunike. [ He winces at his own pronunciation. He's certain he butchered it, but he reaches out to shake her hand anyway. ] I'm, um, Jaime Reyes. And just keep correcting me if I keep messing up your name. I know people mess up mine basically constantly.

I'm working on the whole language thing.

( A little slower, just once: ) Eunike.

( That earns a grin from her - wicked and conspiratorial, in one moment, understanding in the next. The smile of a trouble maker, and possibly just a shade Sarissa.

But maybe not. There's only so many ways such similar faces could smile, right? )


And I, as well. There are some words here I am especially struggling with. "Please," "thank you." Very challenging to me.
