outofshadows | Upcoming Event

Hello, players.

We hope that everyone is settling comfortably into the Wyld setting. But, of course, since we don't want your characters to get too comfortable, we're gearing up for our first Wyld event. The details of the event will come in a future post, but we need to start getting ready ahead of time. Which means this is a plot sign up.

The upcoming event will involve memories: Specifically, truly horrific memories from your characters' past (everyone has 'em, or we wouldn't be playing them!). These memories are going to be revealed in the course of the event.

So here's show it works: If you're interested in having one of your character's memories revealed, comment to the sign-up thread below with a write-up or youtube video of the memory (if your write up is very, very long, we ask that you post it to your own character journal and provide a link to that post). This is purely optional, of course. And you can sign up more than one character, if you so desire.

You may be wondering just how your memory is going to be revealed. We'll explain more about that when we break the event, but for now, what you need to know is that one other character (who signs up for the event with a memory) will be randomly assigned to receive your memory. Again, the magical RNG will determine who gets to see your memory. So make sure it's something you (OOCly) want shared with a potential stranger.

Once again. Everyone who signs up with a memory will be randomly paired up with another character who posts a memory for the plot.

Comment to the sign-up thread with the memory by Wednesday, March 19 to be included in this event.

As always, comment to the questions thread with any questions.

QUICK EDIT: Please put your character's name in the subject of the comment to the sign-up to make mod life easier!!

Mortal Kombat Legacy: Episode 6.

Yeeaaah pretty much this episode. It's about 10-12 mins long and it's what happened just before Raiden incarnated into Throne of Shadows!

PLEASE NOTE AS A CONTENT WARNING: In this episode, there is blood (blue blood, but blood nonetheless), close ups of needles being pushed into skin, medical facilities and a medical procedure that involves poking the eye with a sharp instrument and a hammer (thankfully you don't really see it, but you know its happening). Just figured I'd add this in case medical stuff squicks you guys.

Emma learns more context about things in her past.

House is lying on a thin mattress, wrists and ankles held by leather restraints. The bed is in a locked room on a locked ward in a grim-looking psychiatric hospital. Mayfield. It's a wonder he can remember that. His leg is screaming with pain and his body is wracked by spasms of nausea as it purges itself of drugs.

He almost welcomes the pain. At least it's real and reality is something that's become elusive. His mind, the one thing he's always been able to count on, has been playing tricks on him. He should've taken his conversations with his best friend's dead girlfriend more seriously as a warning sign but he'd had a handle on it, he was sure of that...right up to the moment when, standing in Cuddy's office, he'd realized that everything he'd said, everything he'd done, everything he'd believed was real was nothing more than a very elaborate delusion. A happy delusion, and that should've been his first clue.

Now he can only lie on the bed, sweating, puking, occasionally screaming, and hope that when he comes out the other side, he'll be himself again.

CW: violence, mass murder.

I'm going to keep looking for a good one but this will be Kurt's memory of getting assaulted/kissed by Karofsky, a bully at school and then threatened afterwards.

Blaine was tricked by his uncle into entering a room where he was then trapped with a guy he used to know years ago. His uncle had lied about some harmless and quick experiment he needed help on, but it was a ruse to try and kill him because of insane jealousy. The man Blaine was trapped with had a high gambling debt and the only way he could get out of it, since he couldn't pay, was to kill whoever was put in the room with him, which was Blaine.

The guy tried to kill Blaine twice and it wasn't until the second time that Blaine, sleep deprived and realizing there was no other way for him to get out, strangled him to death. It was the first time he had been in a face-to-face, life or death struggle where he had to kill someone with his own hands.

Taking the Dark Mark

CW: death/violence
