guillotineroom | Tarot memory share [Nymph]

Please submit your anonymised memories here, and note which card they are for by Wednesday 15th 4pm GMT/8am PST/11am EST.

[Since Nikkou has no knowledge of his memories, he's actually just manifesting whatever buried memory he has related to "bonds across the the universe" since that's his interpretation of the card lol.]

All this person knows around them is light. Then they're warning someone to stay away from their friends. Friends who are both stunned and overjoyed to see them. As if they've been gone a very long time. They mention it's their "turn" to one of their friends. As a figure in a dark coat rants about how it shouldn't be possible for the memory holder to even be here! When the person counters that they're here through the same means as the coat figure, they add that they owe their return to many. Even some people that the coat figure knew. The coat figure tries to guess but the memory holder mentions others still. They mock the figure's ability to win over people's hearts. Then they mention that in order for them to be whole again, they needed a connection. One of their friends helped them find their way back to this place. To their friends.

The setting is foothills at night, with a mostly-full moon illuminating the woodlands and rocky outcrops. The sound of footsteps points to two people coming out from a cave -- two women and the subject of the memory, who is carrying a fourth person. All of the walkers have packs on their backs and look like they have been traveling for some time. One of the women picks up her head and walks ahead. "We're almost there. Perfect timing; the moon is bright enough that we can keep going until we find a campsite."

The subject of the memory doesn't appear to hear her. They set down the person they are carrying, gently, and scramble up a rocky outcrop and stop, staring at the landscape.

The lead woman calls out a name, then scrambles up beside the subject. "Are you okay? No agoraphobia?"

"No... it's just... it's so big. How far does it go?"

"To the ocean, I suppose. Or the ice up north. Unless you just mean the forest?"

"No. I... thank you."

"Sure thing, kid. Come on, it won't go away if we find a campsite."

The scene looks down upon a city, watching as your loved ones are driven mad, destroying all in their path in their derange madness. The person waits because there is a means to help, they know there is a way to help, someone else just has to come.

Except they do come, but its with another. Someone uninvolved has been chosen to help those close to them. Anger and helplessness grow side by side, destroying their own property for lack of any way to deal with these feelings.

Until another shows. A fearsome presence even if they're good at not showing fear. And there is an offer. The person who could have helped them save their loved ones would never trust them, never choose them. Despite their own faith in them, it feels unanswered. The presence offers an alternative. An offer of power, of ability. All they have to do is say yes, agree to help them, and turn against the one who wouldn't trust them.

After all, the presence believes in them. Know how powerful they can be as long as someone believes in them.

There is hesitation, there is the knowledge this presence can't be trusted either, but...the presence is one who makes deals. And they're so angry and sick of being powerless. This way, they can have power. This way, they would never have to feel helpless again, and show that once trusted person they were wrong to not let them help.

There is a demand for their loved one to be freed first, before accepting the maddening power for themselves, but the deal is made, and now they have enough power to show just what they're capable of. And if others are caught in the crossfire...

Well, what do they care anymore?

[picking up various knickknacks]

Any volunteers? Suggestions about themes?

World is going to be nicer destinies and change and travel.

Hunger and the Universe aren't tarot cards I can remember. But their names should be part of their stuff, so Hunger is probably like...

You're wanting for something and its eating you up.

Not sure what the Universe would be...
