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! )

Good.

( She is still looking at Niki, but finally makes herself pull her gaze away to look at Sarah. Sarah seems so... lost, sometimes. So much older, and so much more lost. That was a luxury they did not have, was not theirs to enjoy. Being lost was an indulgence. )

If he comes here, one death will not be enough. He will not know peace, as long as I live.

Do you know his name?

[ She knows MK does, in the future, but this one is so young, she must have just seen her sisters killed. Sarah knows she shouldn't be encouraging this—revenge is one thing, what MK's talking about is another—but another part of her doesn't see what it could hurt. When they go home, they won't remember any of this, will they? ]

I do.

( That, finally, makes MK look to Sarah. She inhales, exhales shakily, and her hands curl into fists. Sarah's is not the neck she's imagining them tightening about. )

Tell me.

Ferdinand Chevalier. He works as a... a cleaner for DYAD and Topside. DYAD's the corporation that created us.

[ She lets out a breath, slow, and glances again at the ghosts of her dead sisters, then back to MK. ]

Back home, when I know you, you've got way more information than I do. But here, I'll try to tell you what I can, if you think it'll help.

Cleaner.

( A hiss, disgusted, but she's filing it away. Topside, DYAD, Ferdinand Chevalier. Her breathing is shaky, and her hand slips into her pocket without hesitation. Orange bottle, white cap, a twist and brief shake and two blue pills fall into her palm, that she tosses back and swallows dry. There is something wilder in this MK than the one Sarah knows better - less rabbit ready to run and hide and fight another day, more fox, ready to lash out and fight. Feral, not just wild. )

If he comes here I'll be ready to kill him and every person who he answers to. They will suffer for everything they did to my sisters.

( Not our, not yet. My. )
