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.

"Mother they're a pest!"

"I don't care! Don't you ever throw a rock at one again! Do you want a curse?"

You stick out your tongue at the squidrat. Its bright, intelligent eyes fix on you from the corner of the room. It chitters at you, as if reprimanding as well, shakes one tentacle and then squeezes itself into a half-a-centimeter crack in the wall and is gone.

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 vividly bright.

Cygnus' garments are thin and delicate, but no less durable for that beauty. The men have long, sweeping sleeves made from spider-silk with just a pinch of panna for strength. These sleeves are attached to a tunic that laces comfortably at the neck. Over the top of this is a durable vest that folds (left over right, you're sure of it) over the bright tunic. The tunic appears to be hooded as well, though as for who would get the most use out of such a thing in an underground place .... For the women, shorter, more tightly tailored sleeves continue into a wrap that folds over the torso. They receive a hip-length jacket made from a spider-silk weave similar to the one used in the male version's sleeves. Both outfits are tied at the waist with a long, flowing sash. As for the bottom piece, the outfits diverge again; the men have a set of knee-length pants, made from a simple panna weave, while the women wear a long wrapped skirt that falls to their ankles. (Though perhaps a shorter skirt could be worn as well, and the extra material saved for later...) A pair of well-crafted leather boots with roan fiber laces come last.

Something about the clothing seems vaguely exotic, like the half-remembered smell of an unknown spice. Otherworldly, almost, in a way that doesn't quite fit in with the others.]

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.

[[Memories of childhood always seem to be this way, the dull trails of things you never really cared for and brilliant flashes of perfect recollection of anything that caught your mad wonder. This one seemed as scattered as any you recall, your tiny hands gripping the soft pink fabric of your mother's robes as she wound through the crowded market.

Many accents, many languages, many colors... all of them blurred as your gaze drifted, always caught up to the great, sparkling spires of the city. Normally, memories like this would simply end with the distinct, too clear image of the great tower glittering in high noon, or your mother's comment of the heat and getting your robes readjusted...

But it blurs, jolts, you feel panic, terror as a hand drags you back. Your mother calls out in shock and outrage, pointing at something above you. And then goes silent quickly, face pale and accusing hand trembling.

"My lord..." She seems to be shaking. You don't understand. "There seems to be some mistake. My child bears no mark."

"Not with the magic, witch." You start to struggle, reaching out for your mother. She seems so far, and the arm around you tightens. It's a little hard to breathe. "Be happy you're not coming as well. The [King] suffers no traitors to a crown."

"Please! He's my only son! My only child!" She lunges towards you, and several people push her back. She screams, rage and fear distinct. There's a smell of ozone and lightning begins to crackle and you are pulled back, whoever is carrying you beginning to run.

Blurring roads, blurring people... Hiccuping between sobs, and staring up at the high tower in the sun. You have never seen it this close before.]]

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.
