false memory plotting repository
FALSE MEMORIES PLOTTINGWelcome to the Wayward Pines false memory plotting repository!
What's that, you ask? Well, it's essentially a dump for false memory plotting from this point forward - kind of like a CR meme for false memories, except this post will be pinned to the OOC comm, and will be linked in every OOC intro. There is no such thing as 'too late' to this meme!
How do false memories work in The Pines?
Strangely enough, as new characters begin to regain their memories, they also “regain” memories of life here in Wayward Pines. Maybe they rode their bike down this street as a kid. Maybe that park was where they had their first kiss. Almost unanimously pleasant, these memories are entirely at odds with everything your character knows (or thinks they know) about the life they led before Wayward Pines, but at the same time, these memories feel so real. Seeing the objects or people featured in the memories gives your character that same warm nostalgic feeling they’d feel if the events they’re remembering actually happened.
As new characters arrive, veteran characters can simply 'remember' false memories with those new characters, with the general IC feeling that they'd always been there but only now came to the surface.
For more info on the false memories mechanic, be sure to check out our FAQ!
How do I use this page?
It's simple: Create a top-level for each of your characters (or a collective top-level for all of them). Others reply to your top-level if they want to plot false memories with you. Alternatively, you reply to others' top-levels for the same reason! Think of it like a neverending CR meme specifically dedicated to cozy suburban memory-fuckery.
Things you might consider including, if they strike your fancy:
We strongly recommend putting the info in a post on your character's journal and linking that post here rather than putting the info right in your top-level. That way you can edit and update that information as needed, as your top-level can't be edited once it's replied to!

Things you might consider including, if they strike your fancy:
- A blurb about your character's fake-life (as sparse or as detailed as you'd like).
- A summary or list of the false-memory CR you've plotted out so far.
- A false memories 'wish list'.
- False memories preferences, if you have any. (For example: "Only looking for positive false-memory CR right now!")

for example, while talking to someone who can literally boil him alive at a touch, this exchange happened:
"When I look at you, I feel that burning liquid pain eager to flow out and purify your rotten carcass."
J: "Oh! More or less than normal?"
"Hard to tell when every nerve ending's on fire. Hard to tell degrees."
J: "Third degree, maybe? ...sorry."

being totally canon blind, i'm tempted to say it'd oscillate between a little of column a and a little of column b, because peter can definitely be Too Much.
no subject
(I'm actually very much familiar with Peter as a lifelong comics Spidey fan and this idea delights me.)
Also for lols, he's got a canonical thing about spiders... while a spider entity has continually stuck around him so like. Should be fun.
no subject
(OH GOSH NO honestly peter is one of only a couple of characters i play that aren't from reasonably obscure canons so i ... hope i can do justice ...)
LMAO yes amazing
no subject
(If it makes you feel better one of my other mains is Superman so I Feel Your Pain there)
