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?

Yuffie cried against his chest happy for the contact as well as his hands covering her ears. She knew when the shots sounded but she couldn't hear the haunting echo. She focused instead on listening to the beating of Yugi's heart as if the beat could bring her a new focus.

She stayed in his arms for what felt like hours, crying softly, before she finally quieted.

"It wasn't my fault?" She was asking as if she might finally believe it hearing it told to her again. "My mother loved me."

He gave a small smile, now he felt like it was a good time to smile, even if it was in a reassuring manner. "Your mother did love you, that's why she did what she did. It's horrible that it happened, but it really wasn't your fault."

He sat still, waiting to see what she does or say next, but he was hoping to get through to her at least, as he let go a little bit.

Yuffie wanted to pull herself together. She wanted it to be alright. Her eyes looked down at Yugi's shirt for a long moment as she took a shuttered breath.

"I'm trying..." She clamped her eyes shut. "I'm trying so hard to believe that."

It was so hard to believe that, more so with her watching it. She fell back into silence leaning against Yugi until her breath steadied. After a little while he might hear the soft whispers of her chanting.

"It's not my fault. It's not my fault. It's not my fault. It's not my fault."

He just let her do what he thought she needed to do. Sometimes talking to someone helped, in other times it might not. He gave her that time to see if that helped, after hearing her whispering slightly he figured it was a good time to pipe in again.

Moving his hands he shifted himself so that he was looking at her face to face. "It's not your fault. I hope telling yourself that is helping you."

She half laughed and half cried at his comment. It had helped if only a little and she was grateful for the contact with someone else. It made her feel real.

Yuffie wiped at her eyes even though they were dry. "I hope so too. I really want to believe that."

She leaned against him a while longer letting her words settle in. Bit by bit the dream began to fall away and into darkness. Soon all that was left was the young girl and her mother and until they faded too. "Yugi..." His name felt distant as the dream ended sending them out into the torrent of memories.
