Midnight, not a sound from the pavement

[headandhand]

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!]]

“Yeah, that’s him. He’s bigger than I am, and I was twelve when we met - much smaller.” Jason pauses, remembering how terrifying it was to come face to face with the Bat back then. “My dad taught me how to steal tires off cars. One of the only decent things he ever did, ‘cause that’s how I took care of my mom after he was locked up for good - stole tires and sold ‘em for cash. And it was how I got by after my mom died, when I was living on the streets.”

So no, Jason isn’t likely to steal tires anymore. He’d only done it to survive.

Stealing tires off of cars. An intriguing thought in Nida's book. They're something that you can move quickly, they're not too hard to take off, and they're worth good money even used. In fact, he definitely applauds the initiative, and almost appreciates Jason's dad for teaching him it. Especially since he could support his family.

But the guy definitely needed something more than that back then. A better option. And Nida definitely doesn't like his dad for that.

"So you were both unlucky for not knowing that the vehicle you were stealing the tires from was this Batman guy," Nida really had NO concept of the Batmobile so he was just imagining a non-descript black car, "and lucky because he gave you a home."

And then betrayed Jason. If Nida ever met Bruce Wayne, he's punch the guy in the nose. Or try to. And probably fail.
