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!]]

"You called it," Hank jokes, as if he's not at all predictable. But his turn to make an unusual request of the bartender himself. Luckily he's been here often enough, and has tipped well enough, that he's not terribly appalling for asking this.

"I want nine shot glasses with just a tiny, I'm talkin' a fuckin' thimbleful of these in each, alright?" He pulls out a notepad from his back pocket. That old standard of real paper, and starts writing a variety of things off the top of his head.

PORT
WHITE WINE
RED WINE
BAILEYS
KAHLUA
CINNAMON WHISKEY
RAKIA
VODKA
TRIPLE SEC


He passes the note over to the bartender, who gives it the most flummoxed of looks, and Hank's compelled to add. "My partner here can taste but he shouldn't swallow."

"Sucks to be you," the bartender announces, before going off on his merry way to do fulfill this fucked up order. A confused jostle of his head and Hank settles in.

"I've been writing down whatever I've been rememberin'. Figured we can reference it later if we need to."

Connor's plan had been to order a whiskey, then switch glasses with Hank as soon as he was done - that way Connor would have something to mess around with in his hands, and wouldn't look like he stood out. He thought of it on the way there while he was - for what seems like the dozenth time in as many days - thinking about how he was spending a lot of time in places that sold food and drink considering he didn't need either, just because humans do all their socialising around them.

So he's peering in bemusement at Hank as well as he goes through this complicated process with nine shot glasses and nine drinks scribbled on a piece of paper. (And as he assumes the bartender's comment is directed at Connor himself, he thinks nothing of it)

"You really thought this out, didn't you?" he says, genuinely surprised and more than a little pleased about it. Connor had pictured just...Hank having a drink. Maybe they'd walk home, stop at a food place. His idea of this had been really simple - just Hank's company was more than good enough.
