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.]]

"Yeah, well. Keep not asking fucking questions and maybe I won't come kick the shit out of you later," Kenzie snarls and snaps. She's like a caged animal. Here in her head the pure Rage she projects isn't just an uncomfortable feeling you might get around her, it's radiating off of her like a white-hot piece of metal just taken from a forge. Get too close and you might get burned.

"Fuck this. Fuck everything."

What he's feeling is, the ah, fuck was very accurate.

Tucker thinks he will keep his distance for safety purposes. Maybe there's mindscape rules for or against getting fucked up by an angry person in the moment, but even he's not dumb enough to risk it. Or, well, not with most people.

"I'm not gonna disagree with that."

This entire situation needs actual protocols so that he knows what to do to not fuck it up. Ugh. He sounds like Wash when he thinks that.

Right now, Kenzie's got his vote for first in line to destroy a magical mind-melding artifact if it's responsible for this happening. This is no small feat. Normally he'd give Wash or Carolina first vote dibs.

"How about you kick half the shit out of me to let me know when we're done here, then?" Tucker turns around, sits on the ground at his what-he-hopes-is-a safe distance, cross-legged, and covers his ears. You know, like an adult. He doesn't know if it'll work as far as not invading privacy goes, but it's the principle of it, right? "I'll fuckin'-- pull up some memory where nothing happens."

Kenzie hunkers down into a crouch and does her best to stare at nothing while the worst night of her life plays out around them. Despite herself, the report of gunshots, howls of rage and pain, all of it seems to pierce right through her attempted armor of indifference. She is helpless. Each horrid sound is a blow against her and by the time it is over she is less crouching and more laying on the ground, her eyes squeezed shut to keep from weeping.

"I just want it all to stop," is what she says in response to Tucker. Ass-kickings or no, can it all just end?
