[EVENT] Memory Tapes

[vrdr_mods]

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.

He visibly relaxes at the confirmation that he's not going to be controlling Phoenix. "I'll do my best," he says dryly, folding the paper and sticking it in his pocket. "If it's a crisis, I might not have time to pull out my phone and send a message."

He hesitates, searching for words. Not too flippant, not too sappy... "Thanks, by the way."

He smiled, faintly. "If it's a crisis, I might be able to find it in my heart to forgive you. Given... suitable payment. Good sushi, maybe. A cup of Leblanc's house blend always goes over well. We can say I'm... I don't know. Frog's cousin, or something, if I'm around long enough for a cover story to be a concern."
