[ Eventually, Sanguine is going to get to his first bout of point-spending— on a memory, but because he chose to be cheap, you all get to see it.

(A brief summary: Sanguine is in a blue, velvet room with some people and ends up joining a band with two of his friends.) ]

Oh...! I can play guitar!

[ it's almost like the first 30 seconds of this

It's an amazingly boring memory, tbh. She just wakes up in her American Frontier home. She gets ready for the day, performs a few chores, and then heads out with her easel. She exchanges a few words with her father- a gruff man with a wide black mustache.

A fly lands on her face, and she swats it. ]

[It's just a very Normal School Day Memory featuring a girl in a red scarf and her friends. Nothing special about it at all: save for the fact that oddly enough none of these people appear to even be one of the idols around here.

Odd.

Weird.

But hey, it was cute to watch her chat with her friends and she seemed very nice?]

[ in THIS memory it is a normal school day working at.... a school infirmary! People keep wandering in and E is there to help. So is a sketchy sketchy doctor who occasionally laughs and jokes(?) about doing unethical experiments on the students. E plays along and overreacts(??) to the jokes(???), often grabbing stuff out of the doctor's hands and taking care of the students into his own hands. A regular comedy routine!

Depending on how closely you are paying attention (and how open your heart is to smooching a bird) you may or may not notice that all the people in this memory are straight up birds. E is a fantail dove, the doctor is a partridge, and they are treating all kinds of students who are just birds. So like, there's also that. OR MAYBE THEY LOOK LIKE HOT HUMANS TO YOU. Choose Your Birdiness Level. ]

[ Gin's memory clearly takes place in an old west saloon where she is recounting a personal story of her start toward self realization. And using it to blatantly and aggressively hit on the bar's patrons.

She tilts her head thoughtfully while the memory plays out on the screen and finally gives an incredulous little scoff. ]

I can't believe that missed both times.

[this memory... anyway, who likes to watch people execute aspects of themselves (looking like various mythological creatures) to make a stronger one? FUN!

also: Boss in a prisoner wear in a cell with chains and getting yelled at by little twin girls acting as his wardens. UH.]

. . . that just brings more questions.

[what]

[ Oni deals with a rowdy customer in a way one might not expect. ]

Now that's me lookin' a little cooler.

[rollplayinghouse]

[ Someone broke down and decided to take a chance on a broadcast.

So, Maki appears to be standing in some kind of game room being questioned about a murder by two teenagers who definitely do not look qualified to be solving a murder.

She seems surprisingly calm about it, both in the memory and currently. ]

...I guess 'Maki' is at least part of my name.

~Spoiler Alert,~ but you were braced for that when you apped a memory game, weren't you?

[Okay. He's buying a memory. Cheaply, of course. Who cares right??

You are treated to The Ending Of Deadpool 2 (pre-credits only. I'm TRYING to keep it under 15 minutes!) Meta-wise, you actually see it like the movie. You see "Double Down," with a high-tech collar on his neck, dive in front of a bullet shot by "Wire" to save a boy. You see Wade take SO LONG to die. You see Cable unable to accept it. You see Vanessa in the afterlife, but return. All the way to Wade's voiceover. You hear the background music and see the way it's shot. honestly this memory has a MUCH better budget than if I picked chronologically.]

Ffffuuuck...

I... does this have to be in shaky-cam? You illegal motherfuckers! You wouldn't steal a car, but you would steal my very first memory?! Can't you spring for an early rip of the Blu-Ray?! Get the fuck with it! I DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH MY MANAGER-- okay. Okay, I'm fine. I should be digesting this. Wow. [DEEP BREATH.] WOW. Wow.

[If anyone was around the video room on the afternoon of day 3, they might've seen a broadcast memory of Hurricane walking with that Nemesis girl from Avante en Garde through the streets of a city that looks suspiciously like Faukyo - but less pristine, more populated, and suffering the occasional chunk of structural damage taken out of the buildings.

They’re throwing out ideas for suit designs, with ridiculously far-fetched weapon plans and built-in fireworks displays, and seem to know a guy named Yoshioka who can make it happen.

Eventually they get to an all-night ramen place, where Hurricane talks Nemesis into getting the Mystery Menu Item: “This is parfait?!” It is beautiful and terrible and features garlic and gyoza, with its own sparkler on top. They each take a single bite and raise the proverbial white flag, because it is an abomination. They end up sharing Hurricane’s parfait instead, which he tops with some very battered chocolate koalas that he pulls from a bag that also contains a half-empty bottle of gin.

They ought to go back to the place where they're in training, because they’ll get in trouble for sneaking out again, but decide to ditch out and watch the sunrise from the top of Sunshine 60.]
