Who: All regular Blanks
Where: In your dorms
When: Day 155 and 156
What:

[It doesn't really happen all at once, or to every dorm at the same time. But over these two days, you might spy a tiny spider slipping under the door. It is soon followed by several others, skittering along the floor, up the common room table and small cocoons of webbing are industriously opened. Almost as quickly and efficiently they scatter, vanishing.

If you missed this event... then perhaps you simply looked over and saw six small memory berries and the traces of webbing around them, fine threads catching the torchlight.]

((OOC: Two things! FIRST! Start your dorm's threads with [Your Team Name] for the sake of organization. SECOND. When you take your memories, ping Nishi with a thread link.))

As you swallow the memory berry, you feel something in your stomach clench and your mind seems to fray at the edges for a split second as you experience the memory unfolding in your consciousness.

[[You hum a soft, little tune as you work. Your fingers move with a practiced speed on the loom, pulling threads and colors with an eye that's come more from long practice than skill, no matter what the Matron boasted of you. It was a comfortable task, and one you looked forward to of all the tutoring your birthright required. Sometimes, while practicing the Great Priestesses' art, you wished that you'd had a bit lower birth. Not that you were in any hurry to give up the silk you rested upon, or the fine dinner that waited for you.

But sometimes, when you get caught up in this, your slender fingers pushing and pulling the sill of the loom, the random arrays of colors making something, you feel like it really could have been something you were born for rather than the court. You had no patience for conversation, no love of confrontation or catty remarks. You'd rather the world passed you on by, while you work on creating the one you kept dreaming of. On the other side of the room, your sister harumphs at your idle song, mumbling something about it setting a 'terrible discord' to the music she was composing.

Under your fingers, a simpler land began to form, trees and woodlands, the dance of the sacred blue butterfly of [Beauty], they all began with your simple, humble movements. If you were a mage, perhaps you could have given it unreal depth, so like the vision that visits you every slumber, the trees could part and the hulking, furred thing would amble out, after the holy insect, entranced by her ways.

Your sister sighs heavily and makes a Remark, as she does. You smile. And hum a little louder.]]

As you return, the memory settles, interlaced with the rest of your recovered life, as if that was just another part of the world and people you left behind. It's hard to shake any of the conviction that it was real and it had happened to you, any more than you would a normal memory.

[There is the gentle sound of a shuttle moving through taut thread, and as the memory settles deep, your eyes open to the familiar garments of your kin on both yourself and those around you, dyed carefully in pale hues.

It's a quiet, honest life, and good clothes for it; shirts made of panna thread mixed with spider silk for strength (and to hold off stains), collared and buttoned, girls with short flared sleeves, and men almost always wearing theirs rolled up, arms free for the day's work. Soft leather suspenders hold up pants with good pockets that fall straight to the ankle on boys, but that are gathered below the knee on girls; a mock-skirt that flares around the thigh softens the female silhouette more, and acts as an extra apron, at need. Ankle boots are plain leather, their only point of note a single buckle at the front, but they're durable, and no matter the time spent crouching low and stretching high, the marwok hide never creases or breaks.

Some call the jackets plain, but really, they're a point of pride; the heavy cort woven by skilled hands, the cut simple but always functional, hanging open and straight to the thigh on both genders, cuffs thick and turned up.]
