[EVENT] Memory Tapes

On the morning of November 21st, denizens in the Velvet Room will awake to a message on their phones or by their bedsides in an envelope. Perhaps even on their computer screens.

Greetings! If you've received this message, then you've been selected as a participant in a new activity to strengthen bonds within this community.

In order to facilitate connections with your fellow residents, we advise you to watch this video. Watch it and return the tape to its rightful owner. If you lacked the means to watch VHS tapes before, we have provided you with the necessary equipment.

Failure to do so may put your own memories at risk. Do not be selfish, lest you find yourself struggling to recall crucial moments of your life. You have no way of knowing which memories have been shared, so ask yourself if it is worth the risk to selfishly hoard another's secrets.


They will soon find a VHS tape, with a case that gives off a soft, blue glow to symbolize its importance. If they lack a TV or VCR, they will find one in their living space.

What they do is up to them, but they should heed the warning, if they value their own memories.


[For links to characters' memories, please see this post in the OOC comm. Have fun!]

My apologies. Didn't mean to offend the Crown.

More seriously, you don't happen to have a tape of mine in return? It's been a little touch-and-go, figuring out whose tapes were whose.

[Wolf? That's not good—not that he, of all people, is naive enough to think children can have no bad experiences.]

Some of the tapes we saw were enough to do more than spook me. I'm pissed off, if you want to know. None of this is going to facilitate anything but trauma.

I can see the motivation behind it and I've seen how it... can bring people together?

But threatening to take peoples' memories away?
lakebrat: (outrage)

That's the stick. The carrot is ... I don't know, malicious curiosity? To which I plead guilty, of course.
