Event || In Your Worst Memory

[0301120113092025]

Characters: All Heroes of Light. Only those who signed-up can start a memory.
Where: Interdimensional Rift
When: May 27th - May 30th
Summary: The Heroes of Light relive some of their worst memories, with a twist. All characters participating in this will be physically missing from Crystallis for the duration of the event.
Warning: It depends on the memory.

Where you were or what you were doing— It does not really matter. Not any more. Everything around you freezes, nearly as if time itself stopped, as if the world was frozen in time. And before you have a chance to understand what is happening, you can hear a voice right behind you.

"Kali Shashidhwaja."

Should you turn around, you may see a child who seems to be the only one aside from you unaffected by what is happening. And as she stares right at you, it makes no doubt these strange words are aimed at you. But before you can reply to her, the world around you collapses. Reality twists and shatters... Or maybe you are the one who is collapsing and shattering away from reality as you know it. No matter what the answer is, it will only take a few seconds for you to find yourself sinking into a void, Crystallis vanishing into the distance. There is nothing but darkness as far as the eye can see.

And once again you feel different: all the powers from your Jobs are fading. Not only that, but you might find that your Crystal is gone and your clothes back to what they were before you woke up in Crystallis. It is silent, cold and before long it feels as though life itself is slipping out of you... And yet, slowly the world reforms around you. The darkness fades away and a new world appears, yet at the same time this is not a world.

This is a memory. The question is, is it yours or that of someone else?

Re: In-Between Memories

Contrary to how other people might be reacting to their memories, or finding themselves in a strange place, this is... probably the second or third time for Sophie. And...well, emotions are still a new Thing(tm) for her, so she didn't know how to identify them properly. Should she be afraid? Worried?

Curious is the first thing that pops up, actually, and she walks over to the little girl. "Who are you?" Straight to the point and delivered with little inflection.

[0301120113092025]

The girl kept staring at Sophie the entire time and didn't reply immediately to her question. But she did finally utter a reply.

"The Answer." She marked a pause. "But I have also been called Shakyamuni."

[lucentpalisade]

Fortunately Sophie wasn't weirded out by that at all. Regular people probably would be though. Blink, girl, blink! "The Answer? To what...?" The problem that everyone's been so upset about? So many questions popped up with that. She shook her head. "Where are we...are you trapped here too?"

[0301120113092025]

"I am the Answer to their hopes and prayers."

After saying that, she took a brief moment to look at Ib, then Igor, Nebilim and finally Kalki before turning back to Sophie. But she shook her head.

"My existence began here."

[lucentpalisade]

... yeah there's something about that statement that just resonates as familiar to Sophie, though she couldn't put her finger on why. What is it with little girls being the Answer to Hopes and Prayers(tm)?

"They look like they're searching for something. If you're their Answer, shouldn't they be coming to you?" Instead of looking at cards, and in the dirt and stuff?

[0301120113092025]

"They died searching."

Another pause.

"But you have to come me."

.. suddenly reads the little girl's name as "Shake your money" ffffffff

[lucentpalisade]

"Died...?" What does -that- mean? Wait wait. They've been searching for this girl, but she's right in front of Sophie's face.

"But you're right here. How come they can't see you? Where are you?" If she wasn't -here-, which Sophie reasoned maybe she meant they had to look for her outside of this weird environment...?

... That's maybe a possible interpretation.

[0301120113092025]

"I am here, with you."

She took a quick look at the four others, and shook her head.

"They're memories, images frozen in time and crystal."

We'll shake money at the crystal problem and it'll go away!

[lucentpalisade]

Sophie tilted her head, clearly not sure she was following. At least until the other girl elaborated, and Sophie glanced over to the four.

"Memories..." They looked real enough to her. But this place was strange - maybe anything was possible.

So if they were memories they clearly weren't people(duh) that could find the girl. "... so to find the answer to what they're," and probably everyone else, "looking for, we have to find you?"

Hrm. "How do we do that?" She didn't see any clues around. Ib was digging, and Shakeyourmoney(maker) Shakyamuni hadn't been found yet- was this like that game Gregory told her about? What 'hiding spots' hadn't been checked by now?

[0301120113092025]

"There are ten of me, scattered across Crystallis. You have already come across a few."

On her left side, the image of a man appeared, Kurma. Right next to him, the Moogle with the Black Mage Hat appeared as well. Finally, on the left side of the little girl the image of a woman appeared, Kalki.

"More await."

The three images disappeared.

[lucentpalisade]

Sophie frowned, confused. Wat. Those people looked nothing like that little girl! "What happens when we find the other ten?"

Do they merge together and form Voltron?

[0301120113092025]

"..."

She didn't reply and slowly extended a hand toward Sophie, and with a pulse Sophie was ejected from the garden and effectively kicked right into another memory. It didn't seem this was a question the little girl was going to answer.
