[Open - Memory Share.]
who: Edward Elric and Anyone Interested
what: Memory Share Event, First Person in the post, Dreamscape/Network in the comments
when: October 9th-23rd
where: Around the city for First Person, Dreamscapes and Network for the rest.
warnings: Individual Warnings Below
Notes: I've included some scenes that I have on Youtube for unrelated reasons if anyone wants those.
Characters may choose to contact Ed, bring it up next time they see him, or never mention it and just have that insight on a moment in his life without ever telling him they know. That's entirely up to player discretion.
(If you would like to use a scene from '03 that's not listed here or the subtitled version, I'm fine with that as well! Just let me know which scene so that I'm aware.)
1. Reunion of the Fallen (Short Reaction)
cw: assault
This can be broken down any way you'd like through the month but it might start with seeing the rock go flying and slam the first guy in the face out of nowhere.
The next flash is could be the second guy demanding, "who the hell are you?" This scene would be dark, as Ed's eyes are closed. You can't feel tossing the rock in your hand, but you're aware of the movements.
Third flash, you're speaking but it's Ed's voice. The scene is still black. "Come on, guys. A band of thugs in the forest, that's so cliché."
The same voice from before, "What was that short stuff?" In an instant you're up, kicking this guy straight in the face with the sole of your boot.
His group of friends descend to attack, the girl they were bothering previously already forgotten. Whether or not your character sees the off-screen pummeling is up to you and may also be a separate fourth vision at a later time.
2.Night of the Chimera's Cry (Faint)
cw: body horror, physical violence, body post murder, dark themes, children present
This one is very brief. There's a child in an alley crying out for his mother, military all around. Flashes may come in single second shots, broken up through the day or weeks, everything happens very fast.
"That makes five."
"Hasn't investigations found anything, yet?"
"Don't blame us."
One woman tries to remove the child from the cloth covered corpse in the alley, but he holds on. When she picks him up, he pulls the cloth with him, crying for his mother and screaming "No!" while revealing the body.
She's on her back, arms bent and covered in blood. You feel yourself gasp, and suddenly there are flashes of other memories. A distorted upside down face followed by a happy woman in a purple dress, smiling, sitting at a table, and then lying on the floor. The distorted image returns and you can see it struggling to breathe before everything goes dark.
In your mind you might feel yourself sinking to the ground as someone behind you shouts, "Ed! Pick him up!"
"Sir!" Then silence.
3. Hohenheim of Light (Father Issues)
cw: assault
From a distance there's a man and a woman sitting at a table on a porch of a large yellow house. The first flash may just be a visual of them, but as the scenes grow longer and more clear through the month you'll be able to piece together the conversation that's happening. Some characters may notice a resemblance between the man at the table and Ed.
"A long time ago I saw an eagle with wings as black as obsidian, your hair is the exact same color. I never thought I'd see it again. Thank you, for bringing such a beautiful memory back to me."
The woman at the table is blushing at the attention, "And thank you. What a lovely thing to say."
No time is wasted before you charge forward, "What the hell are you doing flirting?!" You launch into a punch, right hand nothing but glove-less metal, knocking the man straight off the porch to the ground below.
In case you didn't recognize the voice, the woman sitting there confirms that this is Ed's memory, "Edward, what the-?"
He's not listening, you feel and hear yourself shouting in Ed's voice.
"You're gone for over ten years, and I come back home to that?! Damn you, old man!"
4. Hohenheim of Light (Milk Rant)
cw: assault (probably best combined with 3.)
There's a man on the ground, presumably Ed's father if this memory is coupled with flashes of the previous one. He smiles up at Ed where you're standing on the porch, who seems aggravated at best.
"Edward," Your eyes widen in surprise at being addressed, before setting once more - still hostile. "So, do you still hate drinking milk?"
Immediately you jump off the porch, kicking him to the ground. "Who are you calling a micro-sized half pint who didn't grow up because he doesn't drink milk?!"
From behind, you hear three voices chime in "That's not what he said, Edward."

5. Arm Wrestling
cw free! Also available if anyone's interested, but I didn't write it up.
Wrath: C and/or D.
The first thing to notice is being on the roof of a building, there's a child nearby looking quite upset with his shirt torn in half. He sighs and looks at his hands before bringing them together, but they obviously don't match up. One arm is considerably darker than the other, and the hand is clearly larger when they're brought together in that way. He shifts on his perch before moving his feet to do the same.
Like his arms, his legs don't match either - only in opposition, where the right arm is darker the right leg is lighter and matches the rest of the boy's skin tone. Putting the soles of his feet together knocks him off balance and he begins to roll down the roof of the building, shouting in surprise before being caught by a gloved hand.
Edward, and a suit of armor (which may or may not be recognizable as Alphonse to your character) are stretched down the length of the roof in order to keep them from falling off while retrieving the boy.
"Wh-what happened?" The child glances up to catch sight of Ed and Al.
Ed, still holding the kid by the waistband retorts, "What happened? We just saved your dumb ass."
The scene changes to the three sitting on the edge of the roof together. The suit of armor is watching the child as he peers at his own hands curiously but Ed's focus seems to be elsewhere. The child looks between Ed and the armor curiously before lowering his gaze back to his upturned hands and speaking again.
"How come my arms and legs look so different from both your's?"
Ed glances at him in surprise for a moment before lowering his gaze once more, answering in a solemn tone, lifting his own arm to look at his hand as he speaks, "That's because this arm and one of my legs aren't real."
Automatically, full of curiosity, the kid says "That's dumb, what'd you do with the real ones you were born with?"
His tone doesn't change as Ed meets the child's gaze, "That's hard... To explain."
He glances away again before golden eyes widen with the next innocent question, "Well, where are they now?" His gaze remains straight forward, with no response as the kid continues to watch him, but Al's voice interrupts from the suit of armor.
"What about you?" He points at the darker arm on the child, "Are you sure you don't remember how you got this scar?"
"Hm?" The kid glances at his arm curiously where Al is pointing before answering straight forward. "No."
Edward and Alphonse share a glance before moving up away from the child on the roof, speaking in hushed tones as he swings his legs oblivious behind them.
"You know, it could just be a coincidence." Al offers, hopefully.
"I don't think so, Al."
"But your arm and leg were both taken in Equivalent Exchange, right?" He insists, "So what would they be doing back here? You have to admit that's a little weird."
"Yeah, it's more than just a little weird." Ed retorts, "But as long as we're stretching the limits of of possibility, let's just say he was able to salvage my limbs from the Gate. Then possibly, we could get your body too."
D: Wrath's Limbs. Also available if anyone's interested, but I didn't write it up.
