Repose

[Early morning.]

[Locked to Jack P]
Hello, Jack.

[Locked to Adrian M]
Are you awake in there, darling?

[In a Neighborhood basement, Corinthian is thwarted. He's a creature born of dream and nightmare, but the divine nature of his defeat softens the effect he would've otherwise left in his wake. Like ripples after an explosion, a wave passes over Repose. Until it dissipates, and it seems likely to linger, memories dance in the Spring air, waiting for unsuspecting residents to experience them. The memories pass through bedrooms and at workplaces, through parks and at dinner, through the woods and on Main Street. Nowhere is exempt and no one is immune. The memories are different depending upon the memory's owner, and memories are not always as they appear, but one thing is consistent: When a memory comes, everything else ceases for the recipient. They must experience the memory in its entirety before life commences again.]

[Once she and Cris are back in town, and once she sees THIS.]

HEY! Who left the $$$ at Sonrisa??

( What if you were a ballerina? )

[The shop is closed for the day, with the sign turning to CLOSED just after eleven in the morning. It had already opened late, so anyone shopping for crafts got all of about an hour. Anybody with a sharp eye might notice the shop door itself has been sealed around the cracks with adhesive weatherstripping. Nobody's getting nothing through it. And the mailbox now opens only with a key given to the PO. Any deliveries gotta deal with knocking on the door (there's a bell now that takes a picture and sends it to Cris' phone) or leaving the packages on the stoop. The phone-operated cameras that have been there since Meredith did her thing with the gun and alla that, they keep on filming the doorway and the sidewalk just outside in the front and the alley in back. The blue-and-white placard that says this area's under CC surveillance, it sits where it always has, just under the OPEN/CLOSED sign in the door window. But, since people are trying to leave things anonymous, huh? A reminder's prolly good. After all, the place is owned by the ex-sheriff and he don't take this stuff light.]

( The girl made snap-judgments, and she’d pegged Boston, but she didn’t think he was mean. Holly had seen a lot of mean, in different flavors. )

[It happens sometime in the late morning, someone screaming as loud as they can for several minutes. It sounds, frankly, like someone is being tortured. Those in the area (or those with particularly good hearing) can likely track the sound to the second story of the tattoo parlor, where there is at least one apartment. One of the windows is open just an inch or two for the fresh air, and the sound seeps out to the street.

After those long minutes, the screaming stops. It's replaced (much harder to hear) by sobbing.]

What: Memory

Warning, this memory contains: Sexual references.

( You can hear the passing whine of traffic, sirens, people over the wush-wush-wush of a fan at a lower level than the bed )

[Public]

Did anyone else dream they were a ballerina? What a nice change of pace from the nightmares.

Will characters be viewing the memory or experiencing it?: Experiencing it.
Warning, this memory contains: Sadness, nothing NSFW.

( There is a window, high in the back wall of this room, made of dull, opaque glass blocks. Light shines through it during the day, turns ruddy at sunset, and goes dark during the night hours. Still, you're not convinced. )

[After the memories begin to hit.]
