3..2...1...CONTACT!
Who: The New Hires
What: Sudden Memory Share
Where: Their Memory Palaces
When: After "Don't Touch That Dial"
Warnings/Notes: Possible in every memory, warn in subject lines.
Contact.
It's during a pause in their day. A nap. An idle moment looking across the Top Deck. Taking a slow breath between reps in the training room.
The New Hires are connected. Mental pathways locking together, they're forced into one another's innermost beings. Thrust into one another's memory palaces where the mind collects and stores everything that makes them who they are. The core of their beings are only a few steps away and no one can help the violation.
To make matters worse, it comes with no explanation or no ability to pull out and stop. Once they're through the first memory, perhaps they can find a way out, but they're already witnessing some event from their host's past. And, if they left, who knows whether or not they'd end up accidentally invading another memory palace?
And if they were there, who was in theirs?
[[So, how this works: the memories can either be viewed in spectator mode or the guest can be experiencing everything themselves. The person whose memories are being shown, the host, can watch as their current self or take the form they had of their past self. They can talk about the memory with the "guest" that's visiting.
They cannot control the first memory shown, the player decides that, but they can control any other memories they'd like to show people after. Of course, there's also always the option of an extreme emotional reaction bringing up other memories unbidden.]]

He offers her a blatantly fake slightly pouting expression.
"I only said that for your own good, Agent Carolina."
no subject
"I was a nightmare for a long time. I'm still not a fantastic person, but I'm a better one. That's all I expect. I don't know what you want from me, but that's all there is."
no subject
"That is true, you are not the person you used to be. Good for you on getting better, Agent Carolina. Your current behaviour reminds me of Agent Texas."
The only way Carolina can improve is to be Agent Texas, after all.
no subject
She didn't know Tex. Not well. Not ever. Carolina was deeply wrapped up in her own head in those days, and hadn't had another chance to meet Tex before she died.
She's... curious.
"In what way?"
no subject
He replies genuinely, Price doesn't mind giving credit where it's due, whatever hard feelings the 'enemy' harbours towards him is usually one sided.
no subject
Carolina recently had the extremely strange experience of getting to fight her own past self, and of the two, she knows which she'd call 'harder.'
She doesn't understand Price, or Price's priorities about what's good in a person. She especially doesn't understand his apparent lack of animosity. That can only, in her mind, be some kind of trap she hasn't figured out yet.
no subject
He ponders over it for a moment.
"...Yes, I think so."
After that, he just shrugs. None of this is a big deal, for him.
