[ He's proven enough self-restraint by now so it's time to take four memories all at once because he's a man who only takes good decisions.

As usual, he can be found sitting in the lobby as he takes them.

the first one is similar enough to one Klaus took recently - it shows the siblings sneaking around to go get doughnuts at griddy's.

the second one has Five showing concern for Klaus for like all of 3 seconds before he hyperfocuses on the apocalypse again

the third one shows Five rambling about their father to Klaus, and about the end of the world

Lastly, the fourth one shows Five and Klaus in the middle of an argument about addictions. ]

[temperedinpride]

Well, there is something of a theme.

[ouji4board]

I don't remember any of that.

[deicider]

I still don't know how all your sibs manage to be so blasé about the end of the world.

[586]

I sense a theme with this particular batch of memories...

[crossmyheartandhope]

Many, you really don't go halves, huh.

[firstworldproblem]

[Sitting down next to him leaning his head on his palm. He doesn't say anything for a few moments.]

I'm really fond of Klaus.

[deicider]

cw suicide?? weird existential suicide

[In this memory, an animated doll of Sniper fights with Mycroft Canner (the serial killer) over possession of the miracle child who can bring toys to life, Bridger. In a heartwrenching scene, Bridger down under the weight of his powers and sacrifices himself to bring into existence the legendary soldier Achilles, who vows to kill Sniper.

Cardinal finally looks unnerved by one of their own memories, staring at the now-blank screen in astonishment.]

[temperedinpride]

It is rare to see you flustered.

[time5kip]

[ well that's. concerning ]

... Are you okay?

[ouji4board]

[IN THE LOBBY! time for some more memories:

1: all seven young children waiting (hoping) to say good night to their indifferent father
2: getting his palm tattoos while high and drunk off his ass.
3:: Dad's death IT STARTS OFF VERY SIMILAR TO A PREVIOUS MEMORY and then it jumps the rails.

he shudders as they wrap up, and then flexes his hands a few times. ]

[586]

[ noses him with his snout. ]

Are you alright?

[mind_blown]

[honestly, he's rolling in to the hotel, with his clothes dusty and tattered and a bruise on his cheek.

but all in all, he's good.]

Good to see not much changed in 11 days this time.

[dumbjockenergy]

...Where did they send you?

[adorabilities]

[well, cue another roughed up girl walking in. her hair is an absolute wreck, and she definitely has like? some sort of scratch over her collar bone?

and she's just.

going to head straight for the elevator]

Ok, first Avante, then Zrael.. then FiN... Then Heart...

[dumbjockenergy]

[ luckily for adora, the other adora is coming off the elevator as she reaches it.

and stops in surprise, and then-- concern. ]

Adora? Are you okay? I though you were on a different show.

[featherbeaned]

[ In THIS MEMORY, Tea and Scone(!) are pulled into a Jumanji? Isekai?? of the actual-for-real board game, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, along with a motley assortment of friends. ]

[ She's sitting in the lobby, munching a bag of potato chips. ]

Wow. I don't know how to feel about this.

[young_atlas]

Did you just get Jumanji'd?

[bondsofsuffering]

[He's by the bakery this time, grabbing lunch when he idly plays out a memory. It might not make the most sense to those who haven't really seen the other research-related memories of his, but he seems annoyed nonetheless.]

...

That asshole.

[tradesecret]

[ was picking up bread and... yup. ]

So, now you know.

[backstory]

[ It's been a while since he's decided to take a memory. When he does, he's somewhere in the lobby, eating some breakfast he's picked up from the bakery.

He didn't expect that the memory would involve ghosts... and possession? ]

. . . I suppose this is the follow-up to what happened before?

[nihilmancy]

I hadn't seen that, but this is fascinating. It is like something that I may have dealt with myself. I am glad that all ended well, but I sympathize for that spirit.

mild gore? abuse themes! bad!

[failedsafe]

[Lily decides to take a memory and everything is fine.

jk is shit as usual. She is still locked in that bright white, but blood-covered room, completely isolated and is clearly suffering from psychosis. She is also literally coming apart.

She pauses for a moment before taking another and for better or worse it seems to follow up to the previous. She's fine. Everything is fine. (she isn't) She doesn't appear to be affected at all by what's happened, which might be telling in and of itself.]

Huh. It's closure, at least.

[Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lets just throw away that whole suitcase.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Tossing her a melonpan.]

[young_atlas]

[Alcheme newbie gonna take his first memory!]

[Nothing like waking up on the floor of your own basement. It's clear S is worked up about something and can't talk to his best friend, chooses to not talk to his mother, and finally settles on his history teacher. There is some light lying on S's end on whatever this chess training opportunity really is, but his teacher seems cool, supportive of S doing something for himself instead of his other responsibilities.]

[Also there's some cameos of a weird amulet and also his voice sounds different????]

....so. Tobes. My mom. And Mister Strickler. [Muttering to himself. Because clearly the thing to take out of all that is people he trusts!]

[theyregooddogs]

[There is no memory to see here! However, he certainly has that haunted look of having recalled something within the past twenty-four hours and is taking a long walk to work on getting air.]

[overworker]

[First is a scene from a weapons shop. Serenity pays very close attention, even if her expression is a grim one.

The second however-- is a scene from when she was very young. Her child self doesn't understand, but she can figure it out. Her parents were...]

...so why then... why I am I still so afraid of losing anyone...?

[romanticlove]

You were so young... that's most likely why.

[It makes her sad just thinking about it. She couldn't even imagine. Her parents had probably lived full lives. At least, she gets the sense that's the case. She doesn't know.]

You carry those feelings with you - good and bad.

cw; abuse. experimentation. gore. i didn't go into detail with any of it.

[586]

[ he is still real shit at using this phone, but he's doing his best to browse through the shop for something for someone when, oops, he buys a memory. ]

[ he looks downright stunned when it plays, but then his anger swells by the end of it that he drops his phone and crushes it under claw. well, that certainly solves the problem of accidentally doing that again, but now he's out one phone, so he'll have to ask somebody to buy him a new one at some point. ]

[ ffffuck or... something. ]

Re: cw; abuse. experimentation. gore. i didn't go into detail with any of it.

[ouji4board]

[ sidling up next to, reaching out to press a hand to his jaw ]

[romanticlove]

[It's been a short while since she purchased a memory, but here we are. Normally it's more common to buy just one memory, but this time she decides to be a little adventurous and buy two. She is heading back from the cafe, carrying a large parfait with her

First is a memory of Ai and Kaname, talking of regeneration and the fact that Yuuki is dead at this point. It just leaves Ren feeling sad and a little frustrated.

The second is more playful and cute, but it just makes her miss Yuuki even more. She covers her face for a moment, before shaking her head.]

[nutsandrevolts]

[She sidles up quietly.]

Hey, Renny. How're you doing?

somewhere in the park...

[send_noods]

[It’s tough to remember home if your memories are ALL CARS ALL THE TIME. Except for one.

- Pushing our broken down car (time: 0:29 - if you wanna listen to Florence sing)
- The prince turns his dad’s beautiful custom classic into a monster truck and goes off-roading (time: watch as much of this disaster as you want)
- … the car flies now (time: watch as much you want)
- Combo breaker! 13 year old Gladio and his little sister. Wow, Gladio really hates that prince guy. (time: 2:34 to 3:20) ]

Thank the six, I thought it was gonna be all cars.

Re: somewhere in the park...

[crossmyheartandhope]

...dude.

You guys got flying cars?

[runawayprince]

[Luna may have told him to be careful about purchasing memories in public, but they can't all be bad, right? .... Right? He really should learn his lesson, huh.

His memory leaves him feeling bitter and mad and more than a little emotional, namely after what Gladio told him Ardyn's memory.]

Dad... what were you thinking?

[Ugh. This is just leaving a really bad taste in his mouth.]

[tenebraecious]

[manages to keep her emotions in check until that weapon goes in him which gets a sharp gasp, trying to shake it off immediately after]

He was thinking of the fate of the world. You know that.

cw: dubcon and mental abuse in the second memory

[beautifulend]

[ today, Sashay Silfda is out by the railway station, sitting atop a train car.

after a bit of deliberation they purchase two memories - one is about a brief section of their childhood and is kind of whatever, but the other is a lot.

By the end of it they just sort of curl up and bury their face in the sleeve of their jacket. ]

[softlyfalling]

[ here's someone who was coincidentally about to go to the library who is now just standing stock still on the platform, not really looking at the screen her eyes are resting on. not really looking at the figure up on the train car there. ]
