Invasion!
Who: The New Hires
What: Sudden Memory Share
Where: Their Memory Palaces
When: After Intermission
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 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 cannot control the first memory shown, the player decides that, but they can control any other memories they'd like to show people. Of course, there's always the option of an extreme emotional reaction bringing up memories unbidden.]]

But the longer she watches the memory, the more... wrong it feels. All the adults stay behind and then allow the child to run after the woman in the middle of an emotional crisis. Why did they do that? Why is the boy so eager to help that he's putting himself at physical risk? And the woman keeps jumping away as the boy struggles to follow, risking his life, asking if he did something wrong as the woman refuses to answer. The boy almost falls to his death and then the woman just lets him climb back up the cliff. And then he coaches her through her feelings like a trained therapist while she relives something having to do with what seems like her lover. Is that woman related to the boy? His mother, maybe? Jesus Christ, Vanya really hopes that the woman hasn't just willy nilly made a hologram of the little boy's missing mother appear just to make it all about herself.
Vanya watches the memory play out, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper as she does. By the end, yes, she's certain this is wrong. Maybe the women in this memory aren't verbally crushing the little boy into dust, but they're still forcing him into a role he shouldn't have to play.]
How... often did this happen? If you don't mind me asking. [Vanya asks the question softly as she hesitantly sits down on the grass. She's not one to pry into other people's lives, but... it looks like maybe Steven could stand to have someone listen to him.]
no subject
He's gotten recent takes on this moment in his life that he can admit make a strong case for reevaluating on his own time. Even if getting to that admission took some digging in of his heels.
It means a lot that she asks. And it means a lot that even when she does, she leaves the option for an out. Flexibility doesn't hurt. Steven seems more or less unbothered in the face of that. ]
Not all that often. We mostly dealt with world-protecting, actually. Crazy stuff used to pop up all the time that we'd have to fight or figure out. Whenever something like this happened, it was a big deal.
[ He pulls his knees in. Looks up towards the stars. ]
Baggage can make people do stuff that they'd normally never do, you know? This wasn't anything like Pearl.
[ A few thousand years' worth of stuff will bend the metaphorical bones from time to time, he thinks. ]
