modly announcement + a WAYWARD PINES MEMORIES mingle!

[officialnotice]

What up, Pinecones?

We wanted to let y'all know that thanks to your feedback in our Plurk poll, we've settled on what seems like the simplest system for you guys to collaborate on and play with the optional false Wayward Pines memories mechanic.

A summary for those still digesting the info-pages:

As a totally optional (but highly encouraged) side mechanic, as new characters begin to remember their actual memories, they also begin to remember false ones in which they grew up in the town of Wayward Pines. These can be solo memories, like the park they went to as a kid or the desk they sat in during homeroom in Wayward Pines Academy, but they can also involve other player-characters.

These false memories should keep the characters at least mostly IC, but other than that, they don't need to have any real adherence to canon. Two characters may have been friends back home, but these false memories could say they're siblings or enemies or maybe just strangers passing in the street. The only real rule is to only include false memories involving characters whose players have agreed to the same memories! This rule is in place because all false memories are relatively cohesive and if Character A remembers a false memory with Character B, B would by nature remember the same memory with A.

While canon memories typically return completely by two weeks into your character's stay, false memories will continue to spring up as time goes on, presumably jogged by familiar faces, places, or activities. This allows you to build new false-memory CR with characters even if they've come in months after your own character arrived.

Want in?


A HANDY STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO FALSE MEMORY FUN:

• Step 1: Create an entry on your character's journal. This will be your Wayward Pines false memory plotting repository. It doesn't have to be fancy, you can leave it totally empty, but if people want to hit you up for false memory plotting, this will be the place they can do so. (Consider using the entry to state your false memory plotting preferences and/or to keep a running list of the false memories you've established so far!)
  
  
• Step 2: Reply to the Taken page with your character's name and a link to your new false memory plotting entry. This will go next to the link for your IC inbox in the taken list.
  
  
• Step 3: (Optional.) Reply to this entry with your link, as well as a brief blurb about what kinds of false memory CR you're looking for. The actual CR meme is in less than a week, but this will be a good place to chat soon enough to use it in your intro log threads.
  
  
• Step 4: (Optional but suggested.) Include the link to your false memories plotting page in the appropriate section in our upcoming CR meme.

Have at it, folks. :)

Damon Salvatore l TVD

[unforgivably]

I don't have a page yet, I'll pull one together later tonight after work but, there are only a few snippets of ideas. Damon partially owns S & D Auto Repair with his brother, Stefan. He apprentices Bucky. He's actually really nice in person, very non Damon like, a lot like before he was a vampire, but underneath is a seedier side from a difficult childhood. Playing around with the idea of light gambling behind the scenes and being a minor bookie (and not as nice as he looks.)

He's going to therapy with Jiaying secretly.

And that's what I have.

He also took lunches every day at local watering holes, so, if you want CR in passing there, we can talk about that.

I'm very open.

Butch worked in landscaping so he probably owned a truck that Damon might've repaired? Also, Butch is a busybody who is friendly at everyone.

[unforgivably]

Yeah, I'm for Damon having been a friendly neighborhood mechanic and he'd have been nice for the sake of being nice. But, Damon's not exactly the respect your elders type. So, it may have been out of obligation more than anything. But, Butch being known as the guy in everyone's business, I could see, too.

[flowerida]

Haha, don't worry, Butch doesn't expect respect, his dial is just constantly set to cheerful forever. o_o

[unforgivably]

I meant to say that, Damon works the books does them, that is, for their shared business, while Stefan and Bucky fix and restore. Damon chips in if Stefan or Bucky are out, but it's not his first choice. (Though, his father did also teach him, he just ... didn't appreciate Damon very much or think he'd amount to much of anything.)

Since Damon's friends with Howard... It's probably safe to assume that Jefferson's leery of him and fairly stand offish. Jefferson probably comes across as a snob tbh.

[unforgivably]

He was fine with you when you two were together. But he got Howard in the divorce, bro.

Snob recognizes snob.

[royalpassport]

GOOD, KEEP HIM.
