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.]]

The room is surreal, flashing rapidly with disjointed scenes of violence and distress and discordant sounds to attack the senses. Half the imagery looks alien to him, and even the silence puts nauseating pressure to the ears. This wasn't a memory - it was the psychic scream of a spiraling nightmare.

The dead kid leaves a bitter taste in his mouth, but not enough to stop him from taking notice of the woman. They've yet to speak properly, but he's seen her on the rig. She must be the owner of this memory.

When the younger Vanya appears with pills in hand, he steps in, taking little note of the other three in the room. He looks directly at her, fixing his remaining eye on hers.

"You sure you want to eat that?"

In truth, Guts doesn't really look the part of helpful observer. His 'self' appears in the jagged black armor he always wore on his travels, a cursed thing designed to look like it was eating into the user itself. His expression was knit together with more steely determination than sympathy or softness. He was hedging a lot on being wildly out of place enough to interrupt her stream of thought.
