It's Meme Friday!

And now for a meme made just for the meatship! It's the adventures of:

Thank you Shae for the picture!

+ Post with your character

+ Your tagging partner goes to the Randomizer page and enters 1 - 4 on the True Random Number Generator.

+ Get a number!

+ Each number causes a special effect:

1 - Sex Swap! Surprise, you're suddenly the opposite sex of what you were before. Is your partner too (that depends on them)? If your character has neither, either ignore this one, or feel free to give them one now. Double the surprise!

2 - Soul Swap! Oh no! Looks like something malfunctioned on the ship and now you and your tagging partner have switched bodies. Will you try to fix it? ...Will one of you take advantage of it?

3 - Memory Swap! It appears you and your poor friend were stuck in a malfunction caused by Stacy and she has accidentally given each of you each other's precious memories. Not all of them mind you, but really important ones, especially the type you wouldn't want share around. What do you do now? How will this affect your relationship?

4 - Animal Swap! Oh fiddlesticks. Something went terribly wrong in the sensoriums and you've been turned into an animal. What is it? How does your partner react? Are you turned into an animal too? Can you fix this problem or will you be stuck like this...even when you step out?

+ Tag out all the terrible things that happen

+Profit!

[Remember what it's like to be a bride abandoned at the altar? A tipsy accountant dancing on a bar while alien mercenaries applaud and cheer? Or a member of the crew of Stacy, rating the rest of the crew on how edible they look?

You do now.]

[Just as Anwei remembers the first time fighting a monster in tight spandex when you haven't the slightest idea what you're doing, the nightmare of becoming evil and attempting to kill your best friends on the ship, and first major memories with a beloved girl? Yeeeeeah.]

...What just happened? Are you all right?

[Saving the awkward questions for a bit later.]

Ah, um. I seem to be having some sort of - memory issue?

[And those memories are not hers. Definitely not.]

Is something wrong with Stacy? I - she did that memory thing to Kaya -

[But I'm still me, aren't I? I don't remember being anyone else. Just me - plus.]

Affirmative. Memories are being transferred---but I'm still aware that I'm myself. I can see the boundary between our minds.

[Ponder. This could be bad.]

Are you missing any important memories, or were they merely copied?

I can feel - something? It doesn't feel like more memories are coming through anyway.

[She quickly runs through her memories, and can't find any obvious breaks; well, except for when she was mad. Years of her mind shattered, if she was missing something from there she might not know. But that was just the sort of memory she shouldn't share.]

I'm not entirely certain. I don't feel like anything is missing, but there have been times when my memory was not - times I prefer not to remember. If you had any of those, though, they would be very distressing.

[pause]

The memories I seem to have - borrowed - do not seem to be tightly related. They are separated by some time. I think.

[Aaaargh. He does the same thing, sorting through his and hers.]

I see a wedding, a memorable party...nothing that truly stands out to me.

[Except the edible part. What on earth was that?]

Don't worry. I'm sharing with no one.

A wedding? Not Gondepetil, I presume. I - still remember that. And I think I remember all my parties.

[He remembers her wedding? The first one? Please God let him not remember anything that happened after that.]

You are fighting for the first time as part of a team? And - falling under a shadow, and raising your hand against that team? And - well, you might want to run through your romantic memories as well. I will demand that Stacy put those back if she's tampered with your memories in any way.

Good. It's safe with me.

[He very quickly blushes when he realizes what she must know. His friends, his love...it was still there. In vivid detail.]

I don't detect any gaps. I'm...sorry I had to subject you to that.

Your memories are safe with me as well.

[His shadow was so light compared to hers - it must have been some alien influence on him, something apart from him that came and went and left no mark. So much easier to dispel than the shadows that came from within.]

I am just glad that Stacy - or whoever - did not give any of my more toxic memories. Some things are best left in my head.

Thanks.

[Billy walks closer to her, concerned. He reaches out.]

Should I be worried? Are you all right now?

[You get the hatcheries, exactly how much of a huge derp Kang was when he and Fonrar were courting, and what happened during Fairplay. Fun stuff!]

[Billy's memories are a fair bit simpler---being a lonely and bullied geek picking garbage out of his hair, first finding friends, first steps fighting, his murderous intent under the Nightmare King, and...yes. His girlfriend.]

Argh! What the...

Stacy's doing something again, isn't she.

[He just needs a minute to process this. Wow. Kang. So much he didn't know. Questions forthcoming.]

[Yeah, so does Kang. At least it's Billy, so he doesn't have to worry about his own memories being outed to others.]

Is it really so hard for Stacy to keep people's memories straight?

[No, but they get to burn in his memory forever.]

Apparently so. I don't think any extensive damage has been done this time. Uh...are you missing anything about Fonrar, or was it just copied?

[There, safe topic to ask about.]

I think it was just copied. I hope.

...what did you get about her?

When you first realized that you wanted to be her mate, I think. She really had you.

[Billy is just going to focus on these happy memories. Happy happy happy times.]

[Happy happy memories of being totally clueless about what to do and when, and Fonrar getting annoyed with it and hitting him with the cluebat quite a few times. The hitting was literal on more than one occasion.

He's just. Going to snort and look away, somewhat embarrassed.]

Just copies, then.

Good. I definitely wouldn't want to take those from you.

[His face wavers. It's a lie. He'd kinda want to take some of the worst memories, if it'd make Kang a little happier.]

Is that... all you got, or are there others?

[He noticed that look.]

[Guess what Billy? You now have memories of a certain waterbender, and can remember things like fighting in an elemental war and all of the different quirks of the Avatar crew!]

[As Kaya now has Billy's, ranging from awkward beginnings, some shared memories, and his...precious ones. To put it one way.]

Again? It's as if Stacy wants to bother us. Not that that's particularly new.

[He holds a hand to his head, trying to sort through the memories]

[Kaya looks over at Billy, taking his hands.]

Now I understand why you miss your friends so much. I'm sorry Billy.

[She grins. Yup, his awkward memories are a little funny.]

[Blink. Just how much had she seen? Not the worse incidents with the cake machine, he hopes.]

...It's hard. Nothing's ever truly replaced them. You and Renne have come the closest to making me feel whole again in that way, but I don't think I ever will.

Is it the same with your friends? They looked fairly content.

[She has, but she's polite enough not to say anything.]

I know we never quite will, Billy. What you have with your friends was special, unique even. I can only hope that in time you will know we would do anything to make you feel better.

...

I don't know.
