Who: You
When: Day 52, morning
Where: Anywhere

[Of course there's still the flowers that, when stepped on, enhance or dull a sense, and there are still some chocolates in the lounge if you missed them or want more.

But this morning dawns with an infestation of bats.

That is, tiny tiny clockwork bats that get in your hair and coffee and make tiny tiny clockwork bat screeches.

Should you encounter a clockwork bat, and they're pretty hard to dodge, the next person you talk to will... Well, see one of your memories.

Otherwise it seems like a pretty typical morning, and the bats will be gone by afternoon.]

[Rean is gently picking a little bat out of his hair as it yells in tiny clockwork bat at him.]

Huh. Bit late in the day for you guys isn't it?

((OOC: A rare chance for Rean memories! You can get from canon 1/2/3, dramatic or silly or cute, or you can get one of his AU memories, cute or fucked up! If you want to avoid spoilers let me know!))

[bad_crowmance]

Looks like someone forgot to tell him that.

[awakenerd]

Haha, right? They're kind of cute though.

[Crow might be distracted by a memory though.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Please hold a moment while Crow is too busy processing that memory to reply to the present. ]

[awakenerd]

Crow?

[bad_crowmance]

[ After a long moment, his attention snaps back into focus and he looks over at Rean. ]

You, uh.... May want to avoid touching any more of those guys if you ever see 'em again.

[ He rubs the back of his head. ]

Looks like there's a side effect and I'm guessing you'd rather not overshare.

[awakenerd]

Ah...

[Well it can't be emotions that's already a thing between them.]

What did you see?

[bad_crowmance]

Does the name "Graham" ring a bell?

[ It's a question, but one he already knows the answer to-- he doubts he could have seen something Rean didn't already remember. But it's a good way of explaining without saying too much out loud. ]

[crimeson]

Well they're kinda fancy for bats so maybe they have a different schedule.

[awakenerd]

Hah. Daybats huh? I guess that's not unusual.

[I mean, trails monsters. But also have a memory.]

[crimeson]

True, true--

[oh holy shit]

[awakenerd]

[Uh. That's a reaction. He doesn't know to what but he can feel the distress.]

Randy?

[crimeson]

[that memory is like a perfect storm of all of randy's worst nightmares and it happened to this unbelievably sweet person right in front of him

he's immediately yoinking Rean into a hug.]

[awakenerd]

[He's surprised, but who can say no to hugs. It's unfortunate that Randy's so distressed though. He wraps his arms around him soothingly as he can. No idea what's going on but he is happy to hold and be held anyway.]

Hey.

[crimeson]

Sorry, I- saw a memory?

[schrodingerscockroach]

I guess everything is lively right now.

[Give the most self indulgent fucked up memory Rean, you know you want too.]

[awakenerd]

Yeah. We have so many new people, it's exciting.

[You, too, can experience the joys of being a living weapon. You probably already know the feeling.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

It is. We got an overly earnest, polite one on Clover.

[And he's smiling a bit, though exhaustion because you know, he can talk about cute new teammate and talk to Rean and everything is fin-]

[Except that hits and his face just goes stone cold BLANK.]

[awakenerd]

Yeah? I'd like to meet them.

[Uh. That's a reaction though.]

Dusk?

[schrodingerscockroach]

....

[Breathes deep.]

[Let's it out.]

How....vague ARE your memories?

[DID YOU LIE.]

[awakenerd]

Some more and some less than others. Some scenes are clear, some are just impressions.

[The real vagueness was Rean's description all along. Also he's definitely been misleadingly casual about it if nothing else.]

Why, did you see one?

[schrodingerscockroach]

And what memories are the clear ones.

Yeah. I'd guess it's the bats, there's usually a cause for things like that.

[And he's just poker facing HARD.]

[voreaciously]

[A very large black moth is hovering by 80H]

Given their nature, they may not have a set schedule.

((ooc: hit me with whatever non-spoilery thing))

[awakenerd]

[Do you want that time Jusis yelled at a horse into obeying him or something more dramatic or]

I suppose machines aren't known for being nocturnal. But they're pretty cute.

[voreaciously]

[hit me with drama or something!]

Typically not, I would imagine. That would be beside the point.
