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?

I wish I knew. I can't talk to my past self, or to Usami either. And it's different than I remember it. Only the first time was how it actually happened. Each time after... it's like someone is trying to taunt me by showing me how much worse it could have been, or how there was never any hope of my survival in the first place.

[She pauses, sighing lightly.]

Both of those things are things I already knew, but it's still a little uncomfortable having to watch it like this. And for so many other people to see it, too. I was hoping I'd be able to talk about this on my own initiative.

Jack frowns deeply, scowling at the screen. He turns back to Chiaki, almost trying to block the screen. "Well then don't watch it. You already know it, you know the truth of what happened. Why sit here in rumination when we can get out of here?" But he looks around for an exit to the theater, and can't find one.

"Well, crap."

[Chiaki hasn't looked, but she already knows there's no way out.]

It wouldn't be that easy to leave a place like this. It's probably designed to drive me into the depths of despair by making me watch my own death over and over.
