Midnight, not a sound from the pavement

WHO: All residents of Dualis + special guest stars
WHAT: Strap in, kiddos, it’s a ~memshare~
WHERE: In your head. Or, you know. Everywhere you go to escape that.
WHEN: August 15-24
WARNINGS: Don’t forget these if they’re applicable!

It’s been a few months, Dualis, how are you settling in? New arrivals, we know it’s sudden, but we hope you’re making new friends already and settling in well! You’re all gonna fit in juuuust fine around here.

Things have calmed down after the supposed terrorist attacks during the Dualis Days celebration, and there’s still no news about that strange network broadcast. But maybe that’s for the best, right? See, the Head really does have everything under control.

But speaking of heads…

Over the course of these next few days, yours might be feeling a little funny. Maybe you just aren’t quite feeling like yourself. Or there’s an ache that just won’t quite go away. Or maybe you’re perfectly fine! Which is completely optimal, honestly.

Except--that memory you suddenly have. Is that really yours? And what about those fainting spells that seem to come with premonitions...or are you perhaps remembering something you repressed long ago? You’d probably remember something like this, though, wouldn’t you?

It’s perfectly natural to be concerned. However, if you approach your friendly neighborhood MedBot or clinician, they’re going to be pretty stumped. It appears there's nothing really wrong with you, but hey, here's some mild painkillers if you want them. And if you try and consult the Head, all it’ll be able to do is give you it’s most sincere condolences. It seems that there may have been some complications with the transfer process, but these should definitely wear off soon! In the meantime, why not visit your local clinic for a sedative and some painkillers?

Good luck, denizens. Looks like you’re in for a bumpy week or two...

[[As a reminder, these memory shares can happen at any point in time during the span of the event, not just when your characters are sleeping! You're also welcome to have them experience no side effects at all, all the way up to fainting spells and headaches a la Cordelia circa season 2 of Angel. Feel free to reach out to your friendly neighborhood mods if you have any questions!]]

[Hank might only be a pet-dad now, but his pet-dad powers kick in and by the time Connor's running back with Maggie? Fucker has his phone out and taking a video. So he gets a full view of Connor just running back and getting fuckin' wiped out by the dog, and then frantically licked in the face.]

[He continues to take the video through a few more seconds of Connor's assault, before he gets to his knees next to him and turns it around and plays it.]

[Just to show the android how he looks when he's having fun.]

I even managed to keep you mostly in frame. [Hank sounds proud of himself.]

[Connor doesn't notice Hank filming at all, not until he's sat up and found that if he buries his face in Maggie's neck, she can't lick him and...it dries his face off somewhat. He's still got half his face smushed against Maggie's - neither of them are panting in the slightest - when he leans in to the phone.]

She could have caught me before I even reached the lamppost.

[It's true, she was already right on his heels before he rebounded off the post. He doesn't sound disappointed at having been no match for her, though - if anything, he sounds fond, even a little excited about it.]

I think we found a hobby, huh? Didn't we?

[He dodges Maggie's renewed licking as he talks to her, and it's Hank he's grinning at all the while.]

We looked pretty good.

[Nodding at the phone screen. He was mostly watching Maggie, but it's interesting seeing himself on video - for someone who checks himself in the mirror probably more times than he needs to, he's never seen video of himself.]

Just be careful, alright? Don't get yourself killed. [So says Hank, the guy that's forever concerned about Connor's welfare, even when he didn't like him all that much. It's worse now.]

You fuckin' break her or break yourself, once you're fixed I'm gonna bitch at you for months. You hear me? You're gonna get so sick of me fuckin' raggin' on you. It's gonna be worse than it is now.

[And, as soon as he's done? He settles completely down in the grass.]

You do look good, though. [He lightly observes as he also watches the video.]

Don't worry, I will be.

[ He has to be now - if he dies? He's not coming back. And he assumes Maggie won't either. He doesn't want to endanger her. At the thought of it, he finds himself tugging her closer, like he's apologising for the thought even crossing his mind. She licks his LED, and he huffs out a laugh. ]

You'll have to work pretty hard to make it any worse.

[ He's still grinning all the same. And at Hank's compliment, he shakes his head a little, fondly. He's not denying it or anything. All androids look good. Obviously - made that way. ]

A guy I met mentioned parkour - it sounded like what I did when I was chasing suspects. I was thinking I'd try it out. Me and Maggie both.
