MEMORY SHARE: 12 OF BEETROOT EVENT (May)

[voidmissions]

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!

Apologise ~ For Wash (cw: mob violence)

[longforgottenpromise]

There is a classroom full of students, older high school students and the air is ugly. Some students have bruises, some cower by the wall, others are urging a man, a teacher if a very young one, through the crowd.

"Stop them!"

The man frowned. "Takasato!" He called.

There was a teenager in front of a wall of students, who were tugging and pushing him.

"Hey stop it!" The man tried to get through but the closest students turned on him, hitting out with fists and kicking him once he was down.

Takasato was shoved again "You killed him, didn't you?"

"It was you, wasn't it?"

"What the fuck are you, Takasato? Are you really human?"

The boy is driven nearer to the window, despite the shoves and the blows he doesn't raise his own fists, doesn't fight back.

The man is still fighting to get to him. "You guys stop it!" He is rewarded by another kick.

"Are you friends with this monster? There's no use helping him. Iwaki's already dead." one student yelled.

"Apologise" Someone pushed Takasato to his knees, another grabbed the collar of his uniform.

"Apologise to Iwaki! It's all because of you that we're all involved!"

"Kneel down and swear that nothing like this'll ever happen again!"

Someone tried to push Takasato over and forcefully make him bow down. Someone else took hold of his hair, wanting to push his head down.

Until this point Takasato hadn't resisted at all, letting them hit him and speaking not a word. But as they tried to press his head to the floor he twisted and yelled. "No." He batted the hand away, pulling himself away from the hands that were restraining him and backing away from them. He looked deeply shaken.

"Why not? You mean you're not gonna apologise?"

"You killed someone! Don't you feel anything?"

Takasato's eyes widened. The blood drained from his face, but he cried out. "Don't push me! I can't!"

The boys around him sneered, yelling at him, more blows rained down on him and once again he didn't fight, staggering with the blows and never lifting a hand in retaliation.

"Stop." The student teacher was still trying to get to him, but he was injured too and could barely stagger to his feet.

The boys had pressed Takasato up against the open window now, the room was filled with jeers and anger and the teaching pleading for them to stop. It was too late though, as they bundled Takasato up and out, watching him plummet to the concrete below.

The Door (cw: parental death, gore, horror)

[longforgottenpromise]

A teenager gets out of the car, he doesn't look familiar and he has an air about him that wants to be forgotten. His eyes are downcast as he slings a school bag over his shoulders and moves to the gate, unbarring it...

Sports gone wrong (cw: death of a teenager)

[longforgottenpromise]

A group of boys dressed in school sports uniforms are in the middle of a game of kibasen. Unbeknown to any of the players or teachers but just visible from a distance there is a strange shadow on the floor, growing around them. Perhaps a trick of the eye?

Hospital Room

[longforgottenpromise]

It is a modern hospital ward where a teenage boy lies, one arm hanging off the side. He is waking up to a man who is straightening up, having been looking under the bed. Indeed for those with sharp eyes it had looked for a moment like the boy was holding a porcelain white hand, but there is nothing there now...

Hide and Seak

[longforgottenpromise]

"Youka!" A small child of about ten, recognisable to anyone who knows Taiki, runs through a meadow of flowers towards a group of women dressed in simple uniforms, folding laundry.

Taiki is almost breathless with laughter. "Hide me! Hide me!"

Thirteen Hours

[longforgottenpromise]

"Sir Gyousou?" A woman's voice.

At a campfire a man and child sat. A red haired woman, dressed in armour and riding on the back of a winged dog appears, a torch in her hand.

"Sir Gyousou, I've discovered a suspicious cavern."

A False King (cw: blood, cruelty)

[longforgottenpromise]

Taiki is dressed formally and sat in what look to be imperial quarters. Stood before him are a girl, looking a few years younger than Taiki and a man, both dressed formally also.

The man was speaking. “I will discuss the matter with Chou’un-dono.”

"If you will." Taiki nodded formally. The girl startled, looking to the side. The man turned and froze also. Taiki bounded from his seat as if he had been pushed off. He stared wide eyed at a man who had appeared at the entrance...

A New Name

[longforgottenpromise]

"Taiho, why do you look so unhappy?" Gyousou, dressed formally, speaks as Taiki, a child of about ten, enters a room, accompanied by a young woman.

"It's nothing..."

"It seemed like Risai also felt uncertain... Every time I look at you, I feel as if I had kidnapped you."

"No..." Taiki shook his head.

The Yard (cw: child cruelty)

[longforgottenpromise]

Snow drifted from the sky. In the yard of a house there stood a child, no more than ten years old.

He was barefoot and in pajamas, his hands and knees exposed to the cold, white breath could be seen in the air as he shivered and stared sadly in the direction of the house.

Remembering (cw: building collapse, talk of death and vague mentions of a suicide attempt)

[longforgottenpromise]

A man and a teenager are sat watching a television. The news is reporting on a disaster in the local area, a bird's eye view of a school appeared on the screen.

The courtyard had caved in severely, and the buildings built around it had collapsed as if they had fallen towards that hole. The destruction was astonishing.

The boy gasped. The man said strongly, "Don't overthink it."

"But..."

"But nothing." his tone remained firm. "A lot of people died there. At a glance, it looks tragic, but those who are going to die have no choice but to die. The meaning isn't any different from that of one person dying. Someone can't comfort themselves on the death of their own child by saying that so many other students have died too, right?"

Like Fire

[longforgottenpromise]

A man and a small child are by a campfire. The child is recognisable as a young Taiki and the man is, for those that knew him on the train, Lord Gyousou. He is leaning on a large creature.

Gyousou speaks. "Kou? Would you like to rest?"
