Event Log - Total Recall

Who: You and you and mostly me and you
What: Everyone's been Shifted in their own way
When: A hero doesn't care if this event last a whole ten days
Where: Everyone can blaze a hero's trail
Summary: It's that special time when the Malnosso collect all their recent experiments and apply them all at once to measure effectiveness. Although invaluable as research, it tends to leave the subjects looking just a bit mad.
Rating: Rated H for HEROIC

So there is a mod post and it pretty much tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. This is a mass log for people to comment around on if they don't want to make posts. Or even if they want to make posts anyway. There will be at least one more of these later in the event! ENJOY!

Don't forget to tag in using the appropriate format: [canon] character name

[And he missed the variety of lifeforms, the speeders, the periodic contacts with Luke about another job for his Order...or, in Lupin's case, his Mercedes and the Autobahn. Can't forget that.]

We all have something that we miss; it's just a matter of dealing until we can get our lives back. There's nothing wrong with trying to do something good while here, though. Like all of this. I'm taking notes on this Shift.

[Sabriel nods, giving the notes sprawling the table a curious glance.]

Have you found out anything interesting?

Just that there's several different 'themes' this round. Bodily alteration, changing world anchors, age progression or regression...

[People forgetting about him.] Normally it's just one experiment. This is a bunch of them.

[That makes Sabriel blink with surprise but really, with everything the Malnosso have done not only to her but to others around the village as well she shouldn't be surprised.]

Changing world anchors again? That was a pain to deal with the first time it happened.

You're telling me. I only exist because of that.

[The question that bothered now was whether it was appropriate or not to tell Sabriel that he suspected that she was affected by an anchoring shift herself.]

You- wait, really? [Now that is interesting...and a little discerning because she remembers dealing with Red when there were no Shifts in progress and he hadn't acted any different really...not that she could tell anyway.]

You mean that you, the Red that I first met in the library, are a figment of a Shift?

That's right. [He sighs, and runs a hand through his dark hair.] The rest of the time has been the owner of this body, Lupin. You've spoken to him more since then--he's the one who set up the ziplines and everything.

...I only know all of this because I'm some sort of firewall for Lupin now. The Malnosso attempted a third anchoring--I purged it from the system after a few days.

Your real name is Lupin? [The ziplines...and all that time she had been calling him 'Red', even though it wasn't his name. She was annoyed at the Malnosso before and this just adds fuel to the pit of frustrated bitterness she seems to be gathering.]

It can happen more than once? That's just...they have no right to manipulate us like this.

The man that owns this body is called Lupin, but he doesn't mind being called Red. It amuses him, makes him feel comfortable. Only a few people ever do that, you know.

[He watches her solemnly as she bristles with her rage, biting back the bits of wisdom he's siphoned off of Luke and his Order over the years. Instead he shrugs helplessly before her anger.] They have no right, but there's really nothing we can do about it Sabbi. Nothing except bide our time and be as comfortable as possible while we wait for an opening.

[Biting back any more scathing remarks about their captors or their captivity Sabbi nods, expelling her irritation in a soft huff of breath. No point beating the dead horse with her anger, it wasn't going to change their situation.]

If you find out anything you'll let me know, won't you? I want to help.

Of course~ [There's a playful wink along with the smile he gives her.] You're a friend. Why would I do any less? You'd do the same anyway, so it's only fair.

[The wink earns a soft chuckle from her as she smiles, relaxing back into the seat.] Thanks Red.

Anytime, Sabbi.

...you haven't noticed anything particularly wierd yourself, have you? Just for data comparison's sake.

About Luceti as a whole or the Shifts?

Let's just start with the past week.

Well, a lot of people seem to be under a variety of different Shifts, like a changed gender or becoming young...and if you're back then I suppose the world anchor change Shift could be back in effect for those who volunteered for it the first time around.

More than just the people that were affected like Lupin the first time around. Luke's history is changed entirely, among others.

Really? Come to think of it, he did seem a little mixed up about some things. [Like who she was for instance, kept calling her by another name.]

More than just him, Sabbi...

...What? [She's getting a bad feeling from that look he's giving her. So a couple of things haven't quite matched up these past few days, she was not Shifted.

She couldn't be.]

Have you had many people calling you 'Sabriel' or asking you questions about magic lately?

I...I've heard that name a couple times now. [This couldn't be happening. Her memories were so real, so vivid! It's unthinkable that they could all be false.]

[Red hated being the one to break the news, but someone needed to do it. No one really and truely did it for him, beside look at him like he was crazy.

His own experiences made him sympathetic to her plight.]

What did you make of the name then?

It's not mine. I thought that...they had misheard it from someone.

[Even though she had been specifically called that name by more than one person. As it slowly starts to sink in her shoulders slouch in defeat. It wasn't fair.]

...you look like you have your answer. [There's a long, solemn beat as Red allows the information to process, knowing that there was going to be no easy way for Sabbit to accept this. He bows his head over his notes, and heavily considers ordering something with alcohol in it.]

I'm sorry.
