FALSE MEMORIES PLOTTING

Welcome 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:

• 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!")

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!

I think she would have passed, maybe showed a bit of promise but then decided to go study literature and/or the paranormal instead. She let you down, senpai.

[professorfreischutz]

Anything but paranormal and he would have been "yes please go out and be your bright self and better the world!!!" but yeah no he's slightly disappointed. why that. why that.

[alyein]

ahahah omg yesss. she wanted to study literature and then....her life got derailed by the paranormal!!

she probably remembers him fondly and georgie knows she let you down senpai :(

[professorfreischutz]

I think my favorite part is that he doesn't even disbelieve in the paranormal, it's that it's so hard to calculate. IT'S MATH'S NATURAL ENEMY!!

well there's nothing to do about it now. does she at least remember even anything from his classes???

[alyein]

he's not wrong, I MEAN IF SHE COULD CALCULATE THE PROBABILITY OF ENTITIES TRYING TO EAT HER SHE COULD AVOID THEM BETTER.

my guess is yes, somewhat!! ALSO I LIVE FOR MENTOR/MENTEE DYNAMICS SO THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE.

[professorfreischutz]

Right?! You can't trust it!!

Oh I love it, absolutely! This poor asshole doesn't know he's susceptible to feelings now so it's gonna be hilarious.

[alyein]

seriously! she didn't ask for this. (also lmk if you want me to avoid any spoilers from her canon.)

AHAHAH, here you go professor, have an ex-student who adores you. maths and all.

[professorfreischutz]

I'm good! Spoilers don't bother me at all. I should as the same! :P

It's always nice to be appreciated. :)

[alyein]

excellent! and i'm canon blind for your kid, so spoil ahead nbd ♥

she does! he probably got an invite when she got married.

[professorfreischutz]

While his personal plot is pretty self-contained, his canon is part of a much bigger canon that has a lot of ins and outs but suffice to say he's the spirit of a dead famous person given form by strength of his fame (and some personal machinations). Also because of this he's like a literal magical superhuman and shizz.

THAT'S... TOO SWEET... he would have gracefully declined with an excuse but wished her well.

[alyein]

ohhh that sounds really interesting, I've seen a lot of /fate muses around and they all look so fun. the historical familiarity of some of the names makes me super curious and grabby hands.

ALKSJDAKLDA i just wanna curl in the corner with all my feelings now. seriously, ahhhhh. maybe she calls/texts him now and again still to see how he is?

[professorfreischutz]

IT'S A MESS, HONESTLY, there's no good place to jump in except perhaps the phone game since it's made to be as accessible as possible. There's some deep lore shit in the universe the further you dig but tbh you don't need to know even 70% of it to understand the major important stuff, it's fun!

HAHA FUCK. okay like spoilers: he's actually an evil dude who literally has never cared for anyone before but now in this reality and from his canon point he's at a point where he's gotten close to someone and doesn't realize the floodgates it's opened. Do it. Do it, do it, do it. Please.

[alyein]

i might make an attempt at it when i have some free time, because yesss.

oh LMAO ASLDKAJDKALKL OH RIP. excellent, this is excellent. I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK. so yes, she will poke at him.

[professorfreischutz]

It's Very Good. There's so much going on and some weird as shit combinations when you think about it, but also honestly, I feel like every Servant has a genuine take from their writers, etc., in light of the original materials. The designs for female Servants can be............................. bothersome. but the writing? I'm pretty much totally for it (except one case coming in the future, lmao). This series is a visual novel series first and foremost.

YEAH NO I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW. He isn't going to out himself or do anything crazy or outgoing in public because he likes having a good reputation, but the facts just make it more hilarious.

[alyein]

sounds like it will take me a while to get through stuff |D

it does make it more hilarious! georgie has a very good opinion of him and if she ever finds out otherwise she'll just make that surprised pikachu face aslkjaklda

[professorfreischutz]

No rush or anything, and there's plenty of youtube videos of just the story chapters and all, too!

Surprised Pikachu face is basically the best possible outcome for that sort of switcharoo, lbr.
