Duo was moving through the halls out towards the stairs that lead towards the stairs which lead to the trolley system. He was armed, gun drawn and moving in haste as if something was after him. Suddenly, he ducked down in the hole where that box was and looked up and around. Was it a game? Was he just playing around and training himself? That's certainly what it looked like to a casual observer. After all, for those who knew him it wouldn't be outside of his usual behavior.

He looked up and around, looking for something anxiously. He then grabbed at his backwards baseball cap and ducked suddenly as if someone had thrown something at him, or shot at him. If this was a pretend training game, he was really playing the part.

But it wasn't. To him? He was on the run, a half dozen or so enemy soldiers on the war path led by Heero Yuy. One time friend and now enemy, he was outnumbered and out matched. A shot rang out when he thought he saw something back where he came from, and he leaped out of the hole he was in, dashing for the stairs. Goddamnit!

"Quatre! Wufei! Where are you guys!?"

[OOC: So this is part of Dream/Memory!plot. As in you can get some of Duo's memories transferred to your characters to have them have to relive themselves. I'm pretty flexible at how this thread goes. You can just react to what he's doing if you want and I'm posting his memories here in my journal. The memories are transferable by touch and it doesn't matter if Duo's seeing it or not.]

[Mini-Event related] A scary memory.

[eldritch_princess]

Cordelia hadn't been around much during the last days, she had been busy gardening, for the most part, but also exploring. However, something had odd. Ever since she had last slept, she had felt disoriented. Parts of the castle felt as if they were like a different castle, or areas she knew from the time before she had arrived in the castle.

And now, everything had changed around her, but for her eyes alone, as the side effect of Harth's spell made her relive some of her memories once again.

"No!" She yelled, at nobody in particular, standing in a corridor, her arms raised as if protecting herself. But from who? For any other denizen of the castle, the corridor was empty.

What Cordelia saw were soldiers. A dozen of them. Six of them had crossbows ready, aiming for her. Five others were standing slightly behind them, armed with halberds, all of them commanded by an officer with a plumed hat.

"You got it wrong, you got it all wrong!" Cordelia pleaded at the people only she could see, then staggered backwards, clawing at her dress, as if pulling out something that wasn't there.

'Kill the abomination' The officer shouted, and six of his men pulled the trigger of their weapons, shooting. Two of the bolts hit cordelia in her memory, oddly only causing her to stagger backwards slightly.

"Please, please, stop it!" She yelled again, sounding desperate, making a motion as if throwing aside something that wasn't even there.

Within the memory, bolt she had pulled out of her flesh clattered on the ground. The wound was already closing, the skin around the area boiling as if it was a vat of oil over a fire. The high-ranking soldier only sneered. 'Do not be decieved, men! What you see is not the woman she was. Show no mercy, take her out before she can fully recover!'
His voice showed anger, but also a hint of fear. His men obeyed, however. The five with halberds started to approach, while three of the crossbowmen began to reload their weapons. The other three reached for their swords.


"NO!" Cordelia shouted once again, and turned out to run. In her memory, she was running towards a river. Unfortunately, she was, in reality, in a castle. With walls.

Consequently, she ran right into one.

[OOC: See the event post! Some of her memories can be "shared" by touching her, so if anyone is up for this, this can happen~]

Exploration Kitty~ [Open]

[broke_the_world]

[Hermit was out and about today. He didn't want to stand still, he'd had enough of that. He wanted to explore this dungeon and find the boss. He had heard the stories of the Queen around, that dark mysterious figure. She had to be the boss and every boss had a final chamber, right? So they just needed to find it. He was in the Sarcophagi room first. He was poking at a set of idols with a stick but nothing happened.

He turned and picked up a rock, poking it and watched as it vanished in a flash of green data. So it wasn't his stick that was the problem. It was the idols. He couldn't delete them. That was fair at all.]

This world is just annoying...

Third Gold Bolt [Open to all]

[last_lombax]

[Ratchet was slowly walking through the common area, his eyes staring down at the ground. His dreams last night were nothing good and he couldn't shake this feeling they left him. He felt tired, sore, and guilty. His chest hurt from it all and something else. That ghost of a memory. It hadn't hurt that bad, in the end. It was over in less than thirty seconds but it felt longer. Still, the pain was there then it was gone. Just like that.

He was about to turn around a corner when he heard a voice. A very familiar voice. The floor wasn't stone anymore, it was glass and golden metal. There was the whizzing of technology in his ears and he could see the stars down below all the swirling metal rings and Zoni.]

Don't you walk away from me! I said stop! The words echoed in his mind as he turned around. He could see Alister, the wrench, the blast of energy. It was coming right at him and all he could do was stand there like a creature caught in the headlights. This was unavoidable...and maybe he deserved it.]
