☆THE STREETS ARE EMPTY: SIGN UP
☆THE STREETS ARE EMPTYThank you, Virgo players, for being so patient in waiting. However, your time has come - meaning here is the official sign up for Virgo's The Streets Are Empty event!
The premise starts somewhere a lot more down to earth than Pride's hazing, at least at first. Juno, Edward Blanche's close personal assistant, will come to you with something that is absolutely an order and not even slightly a request: you are to come down to the basement levels of the residential tower with her and aid her in what should be a very simple task, that you will speak of to no one. While all logic may suggest that this is weird and out of place, the programming latent in each character's mind will compel them to agree.
This event is opt in - any one who doesn't want to participate will be fortunate enough to be missed by Juno's initial sweep. She doesn't have the time to hunt everyone down after all. She does seem like she's in a bit of a hurry.
The collected Virgo members will be taken down into the spooky basement, and be split into groups that do not actually correspond with their usual bands. Each group will be given a set of strangely written sheet music that they will be instructed to learn and perform in a limited period of time...there's more to it than that, but the rest will be explained when the event is posted.
For now, there is some probably tangential information I need from each sign up:
Name:
Character:
Aspect: In the game's opening log, for your memory regain did you choose Love, Duty, Passion, or Hope? If for some reason you didn't end up threading it, pick one now.
Describe: Describe the memory they regained, as viscerally as you can, in terms of feelings and sensations. How would it appear to a third party with no context for it? You don't have to write it as a narrative, just give a small paragraph explaining it.
Essence: If you were to describe your character's core essence as a person in as few words as possible, what would it be? Thing in terms of "vibrant, loving, happy" or "tormented, dark, brooding." Iconic descriptors that are easy for others to understand.
This event is planned to go up on Wednesday. Believe it or not, this information is actually necessary for what's going to go down. If you have any questions, as them below!

Re: SIGN UPS
Character: Eliot Spencer
Aspect: Duty
Describe: His memory was graduating from basic training with the army. So mostly it's him standing with his fellow recruits, filled with pride and patriotism and the knowledge that he's about to go out into the world and make a difference, just like he's always wanted. There's not a whole lot to it in terms of physical sensations since it's mostly waiting while other people do things but there's a lot of good feelings involved.
Essence: Violent, controlled, protective, charming
no subject
Character: Ivan Karelin
Aspect: Passion
Describe: Urgency is in the air along with heat, a fierce heat that threatens to overtake your entire being and leave nothing behind. Fire and darkness surround you. Smoke fills your lungs. Your throat and body are already scratched as if from a sandstorm. Your heart races as you dash forward and spread your arms wide in front of someone who means the world to you, someone you'll sacrifice your life for. Danger is before you, but you don't care. No hesitation. No doubt is in your mind. You will protect him. You've failed before, but this time, you will save him. Just try harming him. You'll be in the way of any shot. This is something only you can do. You scream at the top of your lungs, "I'm going to protect Edward! I'm going to protect him! Go on! Shoot!"
Essence: loyal, self deprecating, hard working, ninja/Japan adorkable
no subject
Character: Krieg
Aspect:
DutyLove [The previous event described it as "duty" but I decided the emotional impact would be suited more for Love]Describe: If you've ever sought out an adrenaline rush, you won't find one more intense than this: the fight to stay alive when everything is stacked against you, the glee of toppling a monster several times your size, the Christmas Morning-like anticipation of uncovering rare loot. But the most important part? It's the company you have, the group of people that entrust their fragile lives in your hands just as you do in theirs. Every panted breath, every panicked heartbeat, every gunshot is shared amongst your merry band of assholes...and it's way more intense than ever being on stage would ever be.
Essence: Energetic, passionate, eccentric, yet with a surprising amount of self-control; well-read, dual-natured, compassionate.
no subject
Character: Kouen Ren
Aspect: Love
Describe: To an outsider just looking at the image, it would just be this guy seriously pissed off and pointing a sword at the viewer, who seems to be seated in front of them. For a moment, two other faces that were almost identical except free from scarring overlapped with it, but not for long enough to pick out any sort of details. For Kouen himself, though, there was an overwhelming feeling of love and regret and a need to make things right because he knew that somehow he'd failed this person, maybe even all of these people (and more he couldn't see). There was also a sense that this person is family, probably a brother. (First cousin/stepbrother. Close enough.)
Essence: Stern, uncompromising, driven, devoted, family-oriented

Character: Luce, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!,
Aspect: Duty
Describe:
Luce recalled the Tri-Ni-Set song, something that is passed down through the matriarchs of the Giglio Nero Famiglia from its founder Sepira.
The Sea knows no bounds. The Clam passes down its form from generation to generation. The Rainbow appears from time to time before fading away.
This 'song' is a reference to the Tri-Ni-Set (7³), three sets of seven rings which are said to be responsible for the creation of the world and all three sets which correspond to Flames of the Sky. (Sky, Storm, Lightning, Rain, Sun, Cloud, Mist) There are the Mare rings (the sea), the Vongola rings (the clam), and the Arcobaleno (the rainbow). The song references each sets' place in the time-space axis. The Mare rings travel horizontally (across alternate universes), the Vongola travel down the vertical time-space axis, and the Arcobaleno exists as points in space and time.
Things of note: it was the Giglio Nero's original founder who gave the Vongola rings to the Vongola Famiglia and who decided to keep the Mare rings within her Famiglia. The rings/pacifiers of the Arcobaleno were never something she kept. Also, Sepira was 100% a full blooded alien.
Whether because of the Sky flames passed down through the family or because of yeah alien ancestor, the 7³ song is not something that's taught in the traditional manner. Instead, it's something that's practically carved into the very being of the Giglio Nero women. Luce may never say anything of this song to her daughter Aria, but Aria would still know it perfectly down to each word. It's hinted by an explanation of it by Yuni, Luce's granddaughter, that knowing this song means knowing what it means in regards to the 7³.
This song is one of the most important things to the matriarchs of the Giglio Nero. When those words came to Luce's mind, that sense of duty made her out of
brainwashedcharacter in how calm she became.If anyone else were to have this memory, it's debatable if they would be able to so neatly put together the 7³ song and the image of these rings as things that are intrinsically connected. Luce herself can't entirely say why she herself is so certain of it. She simply knows that it is the utter truth, and it has her faith no matter how out of context it feels. It's her duty, after all.
Note #2: while she is the caretaker of the Mare rings, Luce is set soon from her canon point to become the Sky Arcobaleno. This is a cursed existence for two reasons. First of all, all of the Arcobaleno are cursed as toddlers for... reasons. This only applies to Luce, and does not pass down to her daughter who 'inherits' the curse/pacifier of the Arcobaleno. Secondly, unique to the Sky Arcobaleno, they end up having a shortened life span. This does get passed down to Luce's daughter and granddaughter.
Note #3: An ability unique to the Sky Arcobaleno is that in the event that all the other Arcobaleno are somehow killed, she has the ability to bring them all back to life... in exchange for using up her own life force aka dying. The process takes some time to complete. As a matriarch of the Giglio Nero family, a seer, and caretaker of the Mare rings (part of the 7³), it is highly likely that this is information known to Luce and her descendents much like the 7³ song. The idea of sacrifice in the name of duty is something that's tightly bound to this memory.
tl;dr:
James what the hell is with your canonLuce remembered the Tri-Ni-Set (7³) song which details the purpose of three sets of seven rings, a song that is engraved into her very being ever since she was born. Two of the three sets carry a feeling of a very personal duty, that being the Mare and the Arcobaleno. The latter has a sense of sacrifice entwined with it.Essence: Empathetic. Deep. Capable. Leader.

Character: Greg Universe
Aspect: Love
Describe: His memory was a brief snippet of conversation, had with an unseen child (some may recognize it as Steven's voice). Greg speaks of meeting the child's mother at an empty concert. It's only heard, nothing seen. The memory is filled with warm, wistful happiness, but just a hint of loneliness aching underneath.
Essence: Caring, loving, trusting, laid back, uncertain, lacking confidence, lonely, defeated
no subject
Character: Itachi "Weasel" Uchiha
Aspect: Hope
Describe: For a moment, Itachi saw the image of his brother as a baby in his arms and was overcome with the need to protect the child for the future. To an outside viewer, he would appear to look at his plate with some amazement, followed by certainty, followed by utter confusion and him dropping his plate on the floor where it shatters. He then pointedly ignores that whole area of the floor for the rest of the evening.
Essence: Duty bound, peace loving, focused, intelligent.
no subject
Character: Rei Hino
Aspect: Duty
Describe: Rei was given two images in the back of her head, as well as the phrase Silver Millennium. The first image was of a gigantic castle like something out of the Arabian Nights carved from white stone, with a crescent moon symbol jutting from the top of the central building. This was set against the background of Earth high in the sky, in the same way the moon would be visible if the perspective was on Earth. The second image was of a city made entirely out of crystal, filled with gleaming spires and skyscrapers, and the whole city was overshadowed by a single tall palace constructed entirely out of what appears to be diamond. Tokyo residents might notice a few of the buildings as familiar, particularly Tokyo Tower.
Essence: Dutiful, Loyal, Faithful, Passionate
Re: SIGN UPS
Character: Lenneth Valkyrie
Aspect: Duty
Describe: Her duty was to train Einherjar, and her memory was doing so: a battle against an undead foe, monstrous and dripping with rotten flesh and dark magics that offended her on a deep and personal level. Her sole purpose was to destroy it, and in doing so, gain strength for herself and those she had Chosen.
Essence: Emotionless duty tempered by compassion and empathy that constantly struggled to assert itself past the chains welded over it.
no subject
Character: Kise Ryouta
Aspect: Love
Describe: Kise saw a vision of himself and another boy on a basketball court. They're both in dressed in basketball uniforms, he's in blue. The other boy's features aren't well defined, except for blue eyes and the fact that he's athletic. Those eyes are fixed on Kise and is full of determination and maybe some fondness as well. It's clear that both Kise and this boy are close, friends, that they respect each other deeply. But due to being unable to distinguish more than the boy's eyes it's hard to tell if they're teammates or rivals.
Essence: Loyal, affable, carefree, cheerful, outgoing, energetic.
[oops, wrong spot]
no subject
Character: Gaige
Aspect: Duty
Describe: Gaige's regain from an onlooker's perspective would be rather clean-cut. It's the tail end of a battle with an alien creature followed by her executing an injured masked man who rants and raves about "bandits" and "cleansing Pandora" up until she puts a bullet in his head.
Essence: Intelligent, creative, energetic, intuitive, eccentric
no subject
Character: Momo Kisaragi
Aspect: Duty
Describe: She was in an alley somewhere, out of breath and crying over something. Then she saw a pair of legs with uneven pant legs, looked up, and... memory over. Small memory was small. But she knows the person attached to those legs was Important. Like a leader of some kind.
Maybe their name was Dan?Essence: Energetic, upbeat, quirky, secret inferiority complex
no subject
Character: The Doctor
Aspect: Love
Describe: Doctor had a vision of the TARDIS and his granddaughter Susan. He could see what looked like a blue police box in the hallway. The door to it opened on its own like it was inviting him inside. There was bright light inside of the box and he saw the silhouette of a woman standing inside calling out for her grandfather.
Essence: Highly intelligent, witty, kind, odd, self-hating, scarred
youdidn'tseeanythingpenguins.gif
Character: Shotaro Hidari
Aspect: Passion
Describe: His memory was getting mad at someone for calling him "half-boiled". Indignation, insult. He'd b loud about it, and immediately cut off any accusation of being "half-boiled" instead of a hard-boiled detective. It would be weird for a stranger to use this turn of phrase, and while he wouldn't cause them harm, he might jostle them around a bit (sorry I'm a bit of a loss as to how to further explain, let me know if you need something better)
Essence: Lonely, caring, emotional, expressive
/SWAGS IN LATE WITH NOT NEARLY ENOUGH STARBUCKS
Character: Pao-Lin Huang
Aspect: Duty
Describe: A festive, celebratory atmosphere, made all the more exciting by its utter novelty. There's lights and confetti and trumpety fanfare over which an enthusiastic announcer begins to declare the results of this season's HeroTV. Pao-Lin, in her persona as Dragon Kid, nervously awaits her rankings but is also just excited to be on stage with the other Heroes, whom she doesn't know yet but would perhaps like to.
Essence:
a sidelined shonen heroHeroic. Capable. Not entirely fearless but able to devour that fear. Cheerful. Optimistic. Idealistic. Energetic. Kind. Generous. Hard-working.late cuz of reasons
Character: Ankh
Aspect: Hope
Describe: In the first meeting he had with Eiji, Ankh was still a floating arm monster that only wanted back his Core Medal that Eiji was carrying around when a green grasshopperman creature Yummy appeared and attempted to get the same Core Medal from Eiji. The resulting battle had been crazy with Ankh realizing that his only hope to survive was to enlist the aid of Eiji and swipe a body to move around in until he can find out what happened to the rest of him. The particular memory that he got back was the part in which he saved Eiji in order to pin his hope on the human AKA This being his only hand he could play.
Essence: Cunning. Deceptive. Wanting. Incomplete. Temperamental. Proud. Eternal. Fiery. Vain.
JOY IS THE LATEST EVER I hope this is okay
Character: Plourr Ilo/Lora Estilo
Aspect: Duty
Describe: You're standing in a sunny field that is not on Earth, inhaling a mixture of the two different worlds you belong to: the humid rich air of home, and the ozone-y mechanical tints that go with the snubfighters taking off in formation and dwindling away. It's so bittersweet.
Above banners flap and crack in the breeze; a double serpent-crest and a red starbird. You are dressed well and surrounded by people in similar livery. They watch you. You have to watch them, both your allies and your enemies. You are the center, you are the focal point, while you fulfill the dreams of some of them you destroy those of many others. There's so much to do, and even though you want to be flying away with your friends, as much as you already miss that, this is right, and this is proper.
One of the pilots had traded words with you as he was climbing into the cockpit, and you recall his voice, high, with an accent that's slightly Scottish, slightly Irish, not quite either. You'll always be welcome, Plourr. You've saved your world. When you're ready, come back and save the rest of us.
Essence: Gruff, blunt, perfectionist, warlike, proud, confident, responsible, pragmatic, loyal.
