What: memories, all alone in the moonlight
When: all of march
Where: wherever you least expect a rift in reality to open up. also space, mount weather, earth...
Warnings: general warnings for blood, violence, murder attempted or completed, genocide, maybe even gross body farming. specific prompts will have their individual warnings listed in the body of this post and any additional ones will be noted in subject headers.




CHILDHOOD ( open )
— enjoy the little things, like watching a kid commit the stupid crime of touching books. no warnings here.

SKYBOX ( karkat, number 6, & open )
— did you know clarke was in prison for a year for treason? conspiracy to commit treason? eh, best summed up as "to keep her quiet". well now you can find out! bonus points, she thinks she's hallucinating. cw: probably some dead dad/execution talk and mention of mild eugenics themes, this is dystopia space after all.

D(ropship) DAY ( rita & open )
— when 100 kids are pretty certain they're about to be prematurely executed, one or two's likely to fight back. abby griffin cameo! cw: see above warnings.

QUARANTINE ( darcy, palamedes, & open )
— witness clarke gone absolutely feral, and her first escape attempt from body harvesters she doesn't know are body harvesters yet mount weather. cw: some self harm, blood, violence, potential body horror depending on how the thread goes.

LEVERS ( open but requires plotting )
— join clarke in committing a genocide! cw: genocide!! (also mentions of torture and body farming) this can also partially serve as a cinematic experience for your character, but please respond with some sort of reaction just so i know who saw it.

AIRLOCK 5 ( semi-closed to natsuno, but hmu ooc if you're interested )
— no one likes being faced with their demons. but sometimes those demons set up creepy music boxes and lure you into watching your friends being murdered. cw: violence, attempted (or successful! threads of fate can be changed) murder

THE CITY OF LIGHT ( open )
— when you show an a.i. a picture of the greater metropolitan new york, but she cleans it up and also makes it a hivemind that you have to infiltrate. cw: violence, some creepy hivemind shit, will warn further for anything else.

AFTERMATH ( open )
— your all purpose aftermath wildcards! wanted a memory i mentioned in the plotting post but it didn't make the cut? still available upon request! request starters or throw up your own

[The coffee preparation is so impressively passive-aggressive he can't even find it in himself to be offended by it.]

I meant it to be true. I'm sorry you don't see it that way.

What do you have the desire to be?

[skaikru]

( man, what a question. with no easy answer, and nothing as concrete as a career in mind. safe? powerful enough to keep my friends safe? at peace?

...whatever it ends up being, peter's lost some 'casual acquaintance' xp, and is now firmly at the bottom of the list for finding out once clarke figures it out. )

Nope, no. Not having another prying conversation with you. Just here to say you suck, and next time someone thinks they're hallucinating, just play along. Save them the headache.

[be_seeing_you]

I suppose it's in my nature to pry. But I apologize. I'll keep it in mind if it should ever happen again.

[skaikru]

( well.... )

...okay. Good.

( that was actually markedly easier of a conversation than she'd expected. said her peace, peter apologized. and while any fragile trust was dead and buried, this is the serena eterna. dead things have a habit of coming back. clarke could just leave right now, but she remains seated. crosses her legs. sips as passive aggressively as she'd stirred in cream and sugar, elbows on the table and eyes fixed over the rim of her cup. and then — )

So what else have you been prying out of peoples memories?

[be_seeing_you]

[He really was expecting her to take the apology and go. So this is... an interesting twist.

He takes an unhurried sip of his own tea while he considers her.]

Now, what would you think if I went and told others what I saw in your memory, Hm? I don't think you would care for me doing that. So, why should I tell you what I've learned of others?

[skaikru]

( a fair counter, but — )

What would you even have to tell people about my memory? That my dad's dead, I was in solitary for a year, I can draw, and once upon a time I was an optimist? ( clarke tsks her tongue once, and very successfully diminishes the third worst year of her life to four concise bullet-pointed facts. nothing more. )

Besides, I don't want to know about other peoples darkest moments. I don't need all the details. I just want to know if you found anything interesting.

[be_seeing_you]

I wouldn't tell them anything. That is my point.

[Another long sip.]

What do you consider interesting?

[skaikru]

So you're incredibly talented at keeping your mouth shut after the fact, just won't stop talking during.

( a long sip in turn, which doubles as a pause to decide which path she's going to proceed down. does the control freak born from trauma inside her want to know everything about everything? absolutely. but would she settle for the answer to a question that's been bugging her thus far? sure. )

Interesting as in useful to our current situation. But interesting would be any memories of passengers not on board. Who've never been on board since I got here. Passengers from the previous sets, maybe even the ones who possessed us on Halloween but never made it back in their bodies. ( so not chase, not daisy, etc. ) So? Anything from people you didn't recognize?

[be_seeing_you]

Generally, yes.

[That's called an interrogation.]

No. I didn't. Every memory I visited belonged to a passenger currently on this ship. Why? Have you visited one that wasn't?

[skaikru]

( a brief hum of disappointment, then: )

Nope. No. It was always someone I knew, even if not well.

[be_seeing_you]

It has been the same for me. Have you spoken to anyone else who's reported something different?
