THE AMNESIA MEME

amnesia Pictures, Images and Photos

Ah, amnesia. The old standby for soap operas, it usually involves a good knock on the head and a complete loss of memory. Ever wanted to do that to your character? Well, now's your chance.

1. Comment with your characters!
2. Others comment. Optionally, go to RNG and roll the scenario. (As to who gets knocked on the head, well, that's up to you!)
3. ???
4. PROFIT.

1. HEAD-ON COLLISION - ... whoops. It was an honest mistake, really! You didn't see that car/tree/post/person/whatever coming, but now you're stumbling out of the wreckage sans memory. Better ask for help.

2. WAIT, WHO ARE YOU? - Okay, so a while ago, you got into... something that caused you to lose your memory. Fortunately, you managed to get by and create a new identity for yourself. Unfortunately, someone new has just entered your life. Or should I say, someone who's a little too familiar...

3. RINSE AND REPEAT - Sigh. Really, this is just so inconvenient. You wake up everyday with no memory of who you are, and have to figure it out over the course of the day, only to fall asleep and have to do it all over again the next day. Good thing someone's there to help you out, right? And what's with all those post-its and notes?

4. THIS ROOM'S TOO WHITE - Welcome to the hospital. You've got an "Unknown" tag on your wrist, a healthy diet of bland hospital food, a steady trickle of doctors coming in to check up on you, and a TV, and nothing else. Looks like someone's coming to help you today, though! Here's to hoping they knew you before you lost your memory.

5. I'M SUPPOSED TO DO WHAT?! - Oh, crap. There's something only you can do right now -- that is, the you who didn't lose your memory, anyway. Better figure out a way out of this mess and how to control your strange abilities before it's too late.

6. FIGHTING FOR THE WRONG SIDE - Uh, oh. Looks like your enemies decided to take advantage of your confused state and convinced you that you're on their side. Here's to hoping your allies can get you back to yourself before you cause some serious damage.

7. JUST TOO TRAUMATIC - You just saw something that's so traumatic you lost your memory because of it. Unfortunately, right now, you have to remember it, or else something really bad happens. Hope you don't regret remembering this!

8. I DON'T WANT THIS - You've been living a peaceful, ordinary life, for a while. And you'd rather it stay that way, because you're not sure if you'd want to remember what went before. Unfortunately, something's coming, and the key to stopping it lies in your memories.

9. NO SUCH THING - Maybe you were a wizard, or a werewolf, or an angel, or a demon, or something else entirely before, or maybe you just knew about the masquerade. Sadly, you've been knocked on the head and now believe yourself to be a perfectly ordinary person. Magic? That doesn't exist, right? Anything can be explained with science, after all! Right?

10. I'M WHO?! - And who the hell are you? Basically, this is the wild card option! Combine one of the above or make up a new one or whatever you want! Go wild!

Green! Calm down it's me!

[Darnit, this little tyke's strong when he wants to be, Strong enough to wriggle out of those arms.] Oof!

Saft. Your BSBFF?
andresfoundling: (Everywhere around you)

[personal profile] andresfoundling 2012-04-23 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[And once he's out of those arms he's going to scramble out of arms length so she can't grab him again.]

How do you know my name!? Wh-what's a BSBFF?
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - Wide eyed innocence)

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2012-04-23 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Green, You're my-

I mean you were sorta--

[She furrows her brows and slumps a little in the ink, gazing at the little turtle with confusion.]

You don't remember who I am do you?
andresfoundling: (Let the rain go on and on)

[personal profile] andresfoundling 2012-04-23 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
N-no?

[The girl seemed so insistent that Green is reluctant to answer. but once he starts talking his voice sounds surer.]

I've never seen you or that scary fountain before!
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - Uh oh)

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2012-04-23 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'd heard of this sort of thing happening before. It had happened to Optimus just after the rust had taken hold and eventually killed him and when he returned he had briefly lost his memory but this was different....

Saft remembers when Green was taken away from her, She had tried everything in her power to keep him safe and she had failed and she had hated herself for ever letting that happen to him and now she hates herself even more because she doesn't know what to do.]


Green, It's alright...you don't have to be afraid. I just want to help you.
andresfoundling: (Ever close your eyes)

[personal profile] andresfoundling 2012-04-23 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Green doesn't back off any further, but he does adjust his hat, something that Saft would know what a nervous habit of his, checking that as much of his face was hidden as possible. Even though there was no way Saft wouldn't already know he wasn't human.]

Why do you want to help me?
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - With the strength to carry on)

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2012-04-23 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...Because.

[Because she let you down, She let you get hurt, she watched you die and she'll continue blaming herself for that, She scrunches her face up and winces her eyes shut grasping at the ground - what could she possibly say to him that would make this any better?]

Because I let someone I cared about down...someone I cared alot for, He made me smile every single moment I was with him from the morning he jumped on my bed in the morning. Every moment he felt sad and needed cheering up and until I kissed his little green cheek goodnight...

I couldn't bare letting all that go. Not when I've just found him again!

Green you're my little brother! You have to remember me!
andresfoundling: (What a day ~ what a day to take to)

[Green took a step forward, she seemed so sincerer but she had to be wrong!]

B-but I've never been here before! I was just... just... I was in central park. That's the last thing I remember.

I don't even know how I got here.

[Green has no idea who this girl is, or this place. He doesn't know who to trust, but Saft is the only one here.]

What's going on?
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - You caught me at my worse)

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2012-04-23 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[She buries her face in between her legs as she wraps her arms around them...He really doesn't remember does he? It's almost like someone had pressed a reset button and gave Green an entirely new start.]

...Green, I know this is hard to believe right now, but you've been here before. We met just like this...you were scared then too.
andresfoundling: (Default)

[personal profile] andresfoundling 2012-04-24 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not scared! I'm just confused. [He's also a little boy who's forgotten that it's okay to admit you really are scared sometimes....and he's hoping the brave face will stop Saft from looking so heart broken.]

If I've been here before why Don't I remember.
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - But that would mean...)

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2012-04-24 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She sighs and looks at him, Just glad that he's putting up some bravado at least. At least he's kept one trait.]

Look, I know you don't remember me right now, But I know you...

And you have to believe me that I would never, ever do anything to hurt you Green.

[She offers her hand.]
