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?

Kidd nodded slowly. She wanted to know what would become of everything back home. But that wasn't her home now and she wasn't going to be able to return. There was nothing left for her there but a few final seconds of life and a grave.

At least that grave wouldn't be in that prison.

"So what am I supposed to do now? I don't suppose many dead folk have to figure out the rest of their lives."

He shook his head slightly, hands behind his back. "Not really, but at least here you'll have a chance now to think about what to do in your life. You can live. I'm sure that is what the people you left behind would want, right?"

He gave a small smile. He was hoping this was helping the other that it would make her feel better, maybe. "Do you know what you'll do, or is it something you want to think about?"

"Maybe...It's just difficult to think about. People talk about a life after death but I don't think this is precisely what they meant." She shook her head to try to rid herself of that line of thinking, "I've mostly been carrying on. Doing the same as I did back home. I'm not really sure what to make of myself if this world is my new home from now on. I've been making a point of not thinking about it."

She turned to Fai, her furrowed brow relaxing a bit but still carrying a concerned look on her face. "What about you? What will you do if we're in Crystallis for the rest of our lives? Do we really have the right to make it our home?"

[iscursednomore]

"It might not be...Everyone believes in that type of thing. But it's different for everyone as well. So maybe someone's idea of a life after death could be something like this." It would be his dream though, he isn't sure what that would be anyway.

"Honestly? I don't know. I mean back home...I don't have a home to return to, so I guess being here for me wouldn't be the end of the world. I guess for what I would do would be to do what I know best." He paused as he tried to think of how to word the last answer to the last question. "As for if we have a right. Who knows really. They seem fine with us being here so it's not like they will be cruel if you wanted to stay."

Mary nodded, but she didn't say any more. It was a lot for her to think over and come to terms with. She'd spent the past few months in this world, but as she only started thinking about her place in this world recently she still needed time.

Still, by the set of her shoulders and the slowing of her breathing she did seem perhaps comforted by what he said.
