MEMORY SHARE: 12 OF BEETROOT EVENT (May)

JEMA'GRETHY MEMORY SHARE

The caves of Jema'grethy will allow for a few different ways for memories to be interacted with. But for most, such as those entering in bonds, it will be seen like a vision in their head, putting them in the position and perspective of whose memory it is.

For people sharing bond memories, and also memories being shared while moving through the Memory Cave, this is the spot to place said memories! It's not necessary if you'd like to write it during the thread, but hopefully convenient for others. Just make a toplevel with your character's name in the header, and remember to include any content warnings thereafter for each memory, as applicable!

First memory - 48 Hours (End of chapter 5 spoilers, chapter 6 implications)

[flameinthedarkness]

What a day! Idia’s so glad his part of it is over. It was the first day of the Vocal and Dance Championship, or VDC, at Night Raven College, and while it may had started as just a basic in-school singing and dancing contest long ago, it had grown so large over the years that it was now recognized across Twisted Wonderland. Mostly for the main performances that were held between competing schools, but also for a chance for students to show off their clubs and projects, even get possible future interest from companies looking for young talent. This year had been particularly popular due to two of the contestants in the contest, both two of the biggest young influences and celebrities in recent trends.

It had been such a hassle! Far too many people around! Even Idia had been dragged out and forced to do a presentation in front of so many people! It was horrible! He just knows everyone was talking about him… ‘Wait, isn’t his hair burning? Is he from the Shroud family? Look how gloomy he is!’ Ehhhh, Idia hates it all… And there had been no way for him to wiggle out of it, Riddle had made sure of it. Why couldn’t there be systems in place for extreme introverted people like him?! Why did he have to actually be there physical for some stupid presentation?! But he had gotten through it, and no one had noticed he had been using a voice synthesizer and typing his answers the entire time. He had even been able to answer questions without actually needing to talk!

Then he had managed to escape to his room. Ortho had wanted to go and see the other booths and clubs… but there was no point to it. It was just a bunch of high school crafts and experiments, none of them were worth his time. The Ignihyde dorm had some nice pieces for it, but Idia had of course seen all of those before they even went on display. No, he would rather hide away in his room and recover from the day, Ortho had even vanished out to get some snacks for him so they could watch the VDC performance together.

It did leave Idia alone, which would be nice normally, but his mind was busy as he tapped away at his computer on his desk, getting the stream open so they could watch the performance together. He could still hear the ding of emails coming through to him, a constant influx of them appearing in his inbox since he had finished his presentation, his expression turning more annoyed and grim with each one that sounded. Ughhh, why can’t they leave him alone? He knew this would happen… he was rather proud in the item he had been forced to present… but he hadn’t wanted the attention for it. All these offers of internships from a range of companies across so many fields; IT, communication, magical engineering research, app development. Well, he would be amazing for any of their companies, he knows this, and he’s an asset they would all love to have. Even the Olympus Company had made an offer…

But it was pointless… his future was set already, whether he liked it or not. He was a Shroud, he would do his role as required. He didn’t need anything from the outside world. There was no room for him in it anyway. Even if there was-

Idia stopped his typing, sighing as he sat his elbows down on his desk, his face in his hands. Stop thinking like that… there’s no point. He just wished- Stop it. If he could just- Don’t you remember what happened last time you tried to fix it?

Why did it have to be this way? Why? Whywhywhywhywhy!?

“Big brother! I’m back! I got the last of your favorite candy from the machine! Hm? Big brother?”

Idia suddenly felt a hand placed lightly on his head, having not heard his door enter when Ortho returned, he turning his head just enough to see his little brother, Ortho’s eyes set in such a way that Idia knew he was smiling at him.

“Big brother, you’re bad habits are coming out again, you’re thinking too much.”

Yeah… yeah, yes, that was right, Idia staring at Ortho’s face for a long moment, his jaw tight and teeth gritted… then closed his eyes and let out a sigh, moving to sit back in his chair. “Yeah, yeah, I am.” Get a grip. Idia scrubbed his palm across his face. “I-I-I’m just… tired from all that talking.” Right, that was part of Ortho’s programming, to monitor him, to keep him from…

Sensing that he wasn’t still quite right, Ortho handed over one of the candy, a blue skull candy on a stick. “Here, I made sure I got them, you like these ones the best. Now you have plenty of snacks while we watch the performance! Who do you think will win?”

“…thank you.” Idia reaching out to take the candy, unwrapping it and sticking it in his mouth, moving it to one side to hold between his teeth, feeling the hard candy surface crack under the pressure of his sharp teeth. He then let out a long ‘ehhhh’ of a sigh as he got the live feed up and running of the VDC main stage, Ortho putting the rest of the snacks down on his desk before moving to hover behind his chair, his hands on the back of the chair so he could see over the top of Idia’s head. “Vil’s group better win, I hate losing to Royal Sword…”

He heard Ortho let out a giggle from behind him. “I am sad I didn’t get to be part of it, but I hope its fun to watch.”

“Me too… I’m still going to vote for NRC no matter what though.”
