Who would we be without our memories?

Who: Usagi Tsukino ([profile] ligththedarkness), her memories, and YOU!
What: Catchall for Event Threads
When: Month of December
Where: Memoryscape

CW Warnings: Attempted murder, actual murder, violence, stalking


(OOC: Please note: Unless a character knows Usagi is Sailor Moon or Serenity already, there will be nothing that will connect Sailor Moon/Serenity to Usagi proper. The memories will seem to belong to wholly different people.)

A: Worst First Impressions [Usagi non-interactive] CW Warnings: Stalking
Usagi doesn't really remember HOW, all she knows is that when her eyes opened, she was suddenly... back home?

Or well, she was back home, but she was ALSO looking at a version of... herself. A younger version of herself, admittedly, at least at 14 (though there didn't appear to be that much difference besides a slightly rounder face), but definitely at herself. Besides her was a girl with short blue hair, Ami, as well as her black cat with a crescent moon bald spot in the middle of her forehead, Luna. She looked around, old-style arcade games surrounding them.

The... the Crown Arcade?!

She blinked and looked all around.

"What..." she asked and then looked up when she saw ANOTHER person.

"Hey Ami, it's 5 o'clock now. Will you be alright?" she heard her younger self ask to Ami, Luna in her arms.

"Hey-! Hey!" she called out, coming over to the other person. "What's going on?"

B. Curiosity killed the moon cat [Princess Serenity - Interactive]
When you come to your sense, surrounding you will feel like a veritable Eden. The grass is a deep, lush green filled with an endless meadow of flowers of every color. The sky is such a rich blue it almost hurts to look at, the moon a pale orb in the sky. A line of trees surrounds the meadow, a stream is coursing through the meadow, lazily winding away out of sight through the trees.

Birds are chirping, butterflies and bumblebees are fluttering about from flower to flower and the whole Earth seems to be calm and at peace, even you might start to feel at ease.

Until that is, the distinct feeling of being watched kicks in.

And oh, you are being watched, to be sure. Just in the shade and shadows of the trees seems to be a figure all in silver and white who sticks out like a sore thumb despite clearly trying to hide.

C. 9 to 1 is a fair fight. [Sailor Moon - Interactive] CW Warnings: Attempted murder, actual murder, violence against children
There's a deep, unsettling silence all around you, when you come to. Before you is a absolutely GIANT palace with long stone steps leading up to the entrance.

Eternal Sailor Moon is clearly battered and bruised but otherwise fine... well, physically. In her arms is a dead young woman with long red twin hair tails, much like her own. Her body begins to float into the air and Sailor Moon is knocked back by a younger girl with bright pink hair and an outfit not terribly dissimilar from her. The body of the red head disappears entirely, a single, red-glowing crystal the only thing that remains of her body. Before Sailor Moon can grab it, it disappears.

"KAKYUU?!" she screams out.

"Your next opponent..."

Her head snaps up when she hears a sharp voice on the wind. And there, standing on the steps, are the other senshi, her best friends, alive, again, after having watched each one of them die in front of her eyes.

"Will be us, Sailor Moon!"

They may be old fashioned games to most, but to Rena, these are really advanced. She's never had the chance to play a video game, so her eyes are wide in wonder at everything around her. She knows she should probably be more concerned as to why and how she got here. At the same time, though, she really wants to play some of these cabinets... The Games Club would be so excited to hear about them!

But as Usagi calls out to her, Rena snaps out of it and turns her head toward her, blinking in surprise.

"R-Rena doesn't know!" She squeaks while shaking her head. "She has no idea where this is! She doesn't!"
growingblueflame: (Surprise 2)

[personal profile] growingblueflame 2022-01-01 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Rena can't help but look back and forth between what's happening in the scene and the present Usagi standing next to her. It's clear the blonde is the same as the girl standing next her but much younger, and she seems to have some idea of what's going on.

"Devil's 6 O'Clock Bus?" She repeats quietly. And then in a blink, suddenly they're on the bus. She looks around quickly, feeling frazzled suddenly. "Wh-what's going on?"

But her eyes drift back to the younger Usagi again before looking up at the older on once more. "That's... you, right? Right?"

This again?

Atsushi has been on the memshare train a few times already, but it still sends a shiver down his spine. It's too much like being taken to that place last month and he needs a focused few seconds to calm down. The brilliant blue sky, lush green carpet of grass, and rainbow of flowers all serve to relax him. The feeling of being watched, though...

That has the Tiger on edge. His hearing and sight are quite sharp, allowing him to pinpoint the general direction of the person watching him. However, he cannot immediately identify her. Perhaps for the best, as Princess Serenity is not someone he's had fond encounters with.

"Uh... Excuse me. Am I intruding?" He calls out nervously to the figure, only then remembering that these are memories. He has yet to interact with the memories themselves. "I can look away if that's better..?"

The girl who steps out from the shadows is one he'd never wanted to see again. It's an unfair thought, he knows. He had seen Usagi transform into Serenity under safer circumstances too, back when she first confided the dangers of them living together. Those memories were overwritten by how terrifying her power could be and how powerless he had been to prevent his own death.

Atsushi can't help but tense. She seems so innocent, but he's had a lifetime to train this instinctive fear.

"Human?" He vaguely remembers that Usagi is from the moon. Does that technically mean she's an alien? Atsushi actively tries to relax his posture and voice, but that only makes him seem more tense. "I am... My name is Atsushi."

... Ah. If she's asking about him being human, than she must not remember him! So;

"What's your name, miss?"
undermoonlight: (67)

[personal profile] undermoonlight 2021-12-13 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It was hard to stay intimidated when she acted this way. Even with Serenity circling him like some sort of shining shark, Atsushi couldn't find her continued presence malicious. Instead he found himself awkward and embarrassed.

"How old? Uh- Eighteen?" She was asking the good questions there, given how Atsushi had recently been worrying about his age in the Trench. He tried to follow her circling and continue to face her, not wanting to rudely break eye contact. "Sorry, is there something wrong with me..? I could fix it?"

C- Why do I do this to myself argh

[personal profile] imaglyphwitch 2021-12-09 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a moment Luz's eyes are saucers at the grand building. She knew better than to stare into the memory, but it was like a church, only she definitely felt the air was filled with something far from reverence. This was the surrounding of a fight, a REAL fight, and this place was almost cloaked in deathly silence.

Sure enough, there was Sailor Moon, but beaten, weakened, and holding the body of someone taht looked equally as grand as herself. Luz made a small noise, hating that her friend was once again being pushed into horrifying events, and understanding that this was somehow just the start of how bad things are going to get.

And when the red-haired dead woman disappears, she hears the cruel voice tell what the next sequence of events will be. Luz didn't have to guess what it would be, because she'd seen a mock-up of it already, hadn't she? That, though, had been in Usagi's brain. This, she knew, was not something the girl came up with.

It was a memory.

"Sailor Moon," Luz said softly, not too far away from the heroine. "No."
imaglyphwitch: (i wanna gooo)

[personal profile] imaglyphwitch 2021-12-12 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no. Oh no oh no oh NO.

She could feel the wrongness in this scene. It was her friends all right, but they were different, they were sinister. Mean. And it only took a moment for Luz to figure out that whatever Sailor Moon was running to, they were about to completely make her regret trusting them.

"Sailor Moon! NO!"

And again, Pale Blood had Luz enter the memory, and she put her hand to her mouth, hardly believing she was interfering, but moving toward the girl with no hesitation.

They were not going to hurt Sailor Moon so long as she was here!

But gosh they were scary.
imaglyphwitch: (I have the power)

[personal profile] imaglyphwitch 2021-12-20 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Luz struggled against Chibi Chibi (for someone who looked very small and dainty she was STRONG) and was helpless against seeing how these new soldiers had to try and help Usagi. How could they not? Usagi was frozen in horror, unable to believe her friends would attack her, but they were certainly able to fight. They make short work of the Quartet, who Luz could tell were pretty strong, and were now coming for Usagi.

"N-no," Luz manages to mutter, and then her resolve takes her, makes her move. "No!"

Because she'd getting the vision of her friends dying, so now she knows that they're being manipulated, their bodies being brought out specifically to hurt her friend. The vision of Usagi heartbroken as her friends blamed her in her mushroom fantasy flashed in her head, and Luz knew. She didn't want her friend to suffer. She already had so much to deal with. Seeing people crumple in front of her, seeing them set against her.

It was too much. Too much!

Luz was at Usagi's side, her staff raised up, her shivering hands holding tight with her intentions.

"Don't. Hurt. Her."

Ange has found that most of the time she finds herself in a memory of her own whenever she touches the antlers. She guesses she prefers it that way. Even with how awful some of her memories are, at least they're familiar. At least she isn't snooping at memories that could be intimate to someone else.

It doesn't seem like she's as 'lucky' this time around though. For one, she doesn't recognize the palace steps spreading out in front of her in the slightest. This is a place she's never been to before - which means it must be someone else's memory.

Whose memory it is becomes rapidly clear when Ange quickly starts to look around, trying to gather her bearings. Something that's easier said than done, because the realisations that this is Usagi's memory, that Usagi is holding a dead person, and that said corpse then fades into a crystal hit her with such quick succession that she can feel the whiplash.

.. and then there's another voice. And then she turns her head, watching people appear on those palace steps. Some of which Ange definitely recognizes. There's Rei, and Makoto, and Minako-- Usagi's friends from back home.

"Hold on..!"

Ange speaks up before she even realises it, quickly rising to stand up as she's trying to figure out what to do here. The main problem is that she lacks context, sure, but another problem is the fact that there's only one Usagi she can see here, rather than having two - one from the memory and one who's witnessing the memory.

Does that mean that they're the same person here?

She turns her gaze towards Sailor Moon, something in Ange's gaze almost desperate, trying to look for some explanation as to what's happening here.
entreats: i still don't know anything (losing my heart)

[personal profile] entreats 2021-12-12 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
At least Ange doesn't blame the other for totally ignoring her here. Whatever specifically is going on here, it is intense. And she can glimpse a few things just from context clues. Not the part about Usagi being so surprised to see all of them because she assumed they were dead.. instead she thinks that Usagi is just shocked at seeing her friends like this.

And Ange can't blame her. If it had been her and her demons.. Ange would have felt the same way.

But at the same time.. it's not a good situation. This isn't something Usagi should be in the middle of. Even if it's just a memory, even if it's something that has already gone down this way.. What if the next attacks do hit Sailor Moon? What if Usagi has to suffer through that pain again, just because this memory is replaying once more?

The girl glances over at Chibi Chibi, staring at the incredibly young girl. There's something oddly wise in the little girl's eyes, but Ange has no time to consider that right now.

"What do I do..?" She asks, almost as if the girl might hold the answer. Chibi Chibi is the only one who seems to be acknowledging her here, so while it feels stupid to ask a near-toddler this, at the same time, it might be her only hope.

Ange glances up from the tiny girl, over towards where Sailor Moon ran over to, calling out again.

"Usagi!"

Maybe that will get through to her, Ange thinks. Because everyone else only seems to be calling her by her title in this form. Maybe it'll stand out to the other girl.

"Get away from there..! You'll get hurt!"
entreats: (over a strange inversion)

[personal profile] entreats 2021-12-20 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
There's so much happening here. So many impressions at once. First that look she shares with Sailor Moon, telling Ange that the girl standing there isn't the Usagi who remembers her. Who remembers Deerington, who remembers Trench - who remembers everyone she met there.

It's just a memory. She's just watching it play out as if she's there, but that's the awful part about it. Ange doesn't know what to do about this. She knows what the images the tiny girl is showing her mean, especially coupled with the weirdly vacant look in the eyes of the girls standing there on the stairs, the ones attacking Sailor Moon right now. It's not really them. Maybe it's illusions of them, or else reanimated corpses, but their soul isn't in there.

But how does that help them when Usagi is currently getting beaten up really bad? Ange physically winces when she watches Sailor Moon's body being sent flying like that. She raises her arms, as if she's attempting to cast some sort of shield over the other, only to find out that her powers don't work here.

Or rather.. maybe it's just that she's powerless in this moment. In this memory.

Ange glances over at Chibiusa, since it seems like they're the only ones who realise what's going on here. Ange herself, Chibiusa, and that strange little girl..

"C-Can't you do something about this?" Ange doesn't sound angry. No, the look she shares with Chibiusa is entirely just pleading. Ange is desperate to find some way to stop Usagi from getting hurt more, even though it might just be a memory. Even though she realises no one will recognize her, or even know what she's doing here. Maybe they can't see her at all.

But it still feels awful to see - so she has to try to do something, despite all that.

Varian's viewed plenty of Usagi's memories at this point- seen the ghosts that haunt her. But this is...something new. Something...different. He watches quietly, unsure exactly what was going on. He's not looking especially great, his skin rocky, his fangs teeth, this nails claws- he's looking less and less human every day and he's doing his best not to draw attention to himself.

In a memory of Usagi's...well, looking like this might make her think he's an enemy. Something to fight, a threat. It's only when she calls out that he looks, frowning.

"Wait, can you see me?" no, she can't because the older Usagi is here...that...that makes sense. "...What's happening?"

[personal profile] droptheious 2021-12-15 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I mean...just checking," he grimaces. "You know how weird memories can be."

Besides, it gives him something else to focus on other than his corruption- that seeing her react to his corruption. So he turns his attention to the scene around them.

"I think it is, yeah. They're...uh. They're going around again. Always fun."

The sarcasm is palpable. He hates it when it's memory sharing time, it's the worst.

"So...uh. Are we really on a cursed bus? Because I can buy that with you honestly," he nods at Umino. "Who's he?"

This is probably the first place in his life he's ever seen something of a serene place. He's never seen grass so green or air so pure. Deerington had the outdoors but that was a dream and it always was undercut by all the horrible stuff that happened. It was hard to appreciate it when it felt like you had to constantly be on edge.

But, here, it definitely feels like a dream. A place that shouldn't exist. He stoops down and picks one of the flowers in the field, twirling it in his fingers. However, he stops almost immediately when he feels eyes on him and he slowly turns in the direction of them. "Um....Hello? Someone there?"

Right. Of course, this couldn't just be nice, he had to feel like somthing bad might just happen.
