Derek Marlowe August Events (1st half) [OPEN]
WHO: Derek and YOU
WHERE: Throughout Recolle and Derek's Dreams
WHEN: The first half of the month
WHAT: Dream walking, Hallucinations, and Body Switching
WARNINGS: Death and torture.
IA. Dream walking: Death Eater Meeting at Malfoy Manor
The dream opens with a large, dimly lit hallway, luxuriously decorated. The floor is made out of stone and is covered with very expensive carpets. The walls are covered with portraits of pale-faced and the eyes follow you as you walk down the hall. The hallway leads to a large heavy wooden door with a bronze handle. When you get close enough, it open and before you is a drawing room with furniture pushed up against the walls with a long ornate table in the middle, the seats filled with very many unpleasant looking adults. But upon closer inspection, you'll notice a young teen sitting between his parents looking absolutely terrified to be there. The room is lit by a roaring fire in the huge fireplace with a very large marble mantle with a gilded mirror above it. This might be when you notice a reflection in the mirror of a floating body hanging in mid air, which happens to be the same body the teen is looking at, his eyes wide in horror.
At the head of the table is a very chilling looking man with pale skin, a snake like nose, and red eyes. He is speaking to a crazy dark haired lady half way down the table. You can't make out what he says to her but you can easily hear her response,
"I don't know what you mean, my Lord," she says.
"I'm talking about your niece, Bellatrix. And yours, Lucius and Narcissa. She has just married the werewolf, Remus Lupin. You must be so proud," responds the man with red eyes.
The table erupts with jeering laughter. A large snake near at the end of the table near the man with the red eys, hisses, annoyed with the noise. The lady with the crazy dark hair, apparently named Bellatrix, face becomes red with embarssasment.
"She is no niece of ours, my Lord," she cries. "We- Narcissa and I- have never set eyes on our sister since she married the Mudblood. This brat has nothing to do with either of us, nor any beast she marries."
"What say you, Draco?" asks the man with red eyes asn he looks at the young youth. "Will you babysit the cubs?"
The jeering laughs continue to mount and Draco looks over in terror at the man next to him, probably his father. His father only looks down at his lap. Draco then catches the eye of his mother, who merely shakes her head and then looks deadpanned at the wall opposite of her.
Suddenly you hear a voice filled with disappointment.
"What kind of parent brings their kid to something like this?"
Not far from you, maybe only a few feet away, is Derek Marlowe, the person whose dream your in, standing, clad in his pajama bottoms and a white shirt. His arms are folded and his glaring at the man with red eyes.
"I hate that guy," he mumbles. "I'm not sure who he is, but I don't like him."
IB. Dream Hallucination (at night): Death Eaters at the Quidditch World Cup
Derek is leaving the hospital, his twelve hour shift finally over, and is heading towards his car in the staff parking lot. He stops suddenly when he start hearing screams. Lots of them. He turns around looking for the source of the screams, but he doesn't see anyone in the dimly lit parking lot. He take take a step forward and puts his hand on his wand.
"Hello? Is someone there?"
The screams continue and then there are sounds of explosions. Derek doesn't see anything and he looks around confused. He continues to walk towards his car when he hears twigs snap beneath his feet. Twigs? In a hospital parking lot? He looks down and sees the ground... of a forest. He quickly look up and sees that he in a campsite, filled with tents and people running all around him in terror. This all looks so familiar but from what? There's another explosion a flash of light. That's when he sees them. The Death Eaters, tightly packed and moving across a field, their faces hidden by their hoods. Above them was a horrific sight. There were four bodies were up in the air, being magically contorted into grotesque shapes. The Death Eaters were the ones doing it, their wands raised and they laughed gleefully at what they were causing.
The floating people were suddenly illuminated as they passed over a burning tent. It was a family. A father, a mother, and two children, and they weren't passed out, they were completely aware of what was being done to them. One of the Death Eaters magically flips the mothers nightgown up, revealing her undergarment. She tries desperately to cover her self. Another Death Eater starts spinning one of the children like a top, sixty feet up in the air. The child has obviously passed out due to the way his head was flopping around from side to side.
Derek is frozen in terror. He hated getting this memory the first time. Not only because of what he saw, but also because of how much his other self wasn't bothered by what was happening. He wasn't going to let this happen again. This was wrong!
Taking a step forward he yells at the deatheaters.
"STOP! STOP HURTING THEM!"
IC: AU 1 Dream Hallucination: Who are these people? (Ex-girlfriend and adopted family)
[Derek is sitting on a park bench near the hospital drinking some coffee when a women he doesn't recognize comes up to him, smiling. Derek has no idea who she was, but he could tell that she was around his age, and she definately was pretty. Though her hair was a bit bushy. The woman sits beside him, still smiling.]
"So, are you ready for our date tonight?"
[Derek blink in confusion. He had a date with her?]
Uh, I beg your pardon? Do I know you?
[The woman rolls her eyes and reaches for his hand.]
"I should certainly hope so silly. We've been dating for the past four years! The weirdest things come out of your mouth Derek Matthews."
[Derek frowns at the name she called him. Matthews? That's what Kenta said his name was once. Derek looks down at her hand holding his. Why does it feel so familiar? The warmth of it is something that he feels like he has missed for a very long time. Derek looks up from their intertwined hands and right into the woman's eyes. Why do they seem so familiar? He's never seen this woman in her life, but... he feels like he knows her.]
I'm sorry but... how do I...?
[Derek is suddenly interuppted by a different voice.]
"DEREK! There you are!"
[Derek's head quickly turns his head and sees a teenage girl with red hair. He notices the woman next to him smiling at her.]
"Hey Amanda! Long time no see!"
[Derek looks at the woman, surprised at her reaction.]
You know her?
[The woman rolls her eyes at Derek and laughs lightly.]
"Of course I know your sister Derek. You only talk about her all the time."
[The teenage girl kicks at his feet and pouts.]
"You don't remember me or something Derek?"
[Derek looks at the two people next to him, disbelief on his face. He has a feeling that he should know both of them really well, but nothing is coming to his mind. Why can't he remember them?]
Should I?
IIA: Waking up in Matt's Body [Open to anyone who lives with Matt] (August 10th)
The bed feels different. Why does his bed feel different? Since when can he hear all the springs move? His eyes still closed, he tries to go back to sleep. He had just had another annoying dream with someone walking in it and he didn't have to go to work until tonight. So sleeping in it is! That is... if EVERYTHING WASN'T SO FREAKING LOUD! The neighbors are yelling. But which ones? It's not Tatsuo next door. And whose stupid dog is that? Derek shuts his eyes tighter and bends his pillow so that he can block out the noise. It doesn't work at all! The noise is just as loud and it's starting to give him a head ache. The pillow... this isn't his pillow. It doesn't smell like him. Derek moves to turn over when he realizes... he can't. What? Why is there an arm around his waist? What the hell is going on? Derek cracks open his eyes and sees... nothing. Derek blinks again. He can feel himself blink, he can hear himself blink, as if he can hear the muscles moving in his eyes. Why can't he see? Panic starts to set in and his heat rate increases. His heart mus be pounding hard because the sound is so loud in his head. What's going on?
Derek starts feeling around and his hand lands in the arm across his waist. Who is this? He then feels a breeze across his chest and that's when he realizes he's not wearing a shirt. Something doesn't feel right. Slowly, he slides his body across his chest and feels pecks. What? He lowers his hand a few inches and his finger tips graze... abs? Restrospec gave him abs but took his sight? Derek's breathing increases. What's going on? Why can't he see? The bed sheets are not his bed sheets? No way in hell can he afford...is this silk? Derek runs his hand across the sheet and realizes he can feel all the fibers. Derek tries his best to think how this could have happened and he comes to only one explanation, even it if is absolutely crazy.
He's been kidnapped and his kidnappers have done crazy science experiments on him. Retrospec wouldn't do this kind of thing to him. That would explain the abs, the heightened senses, the loss of sight. The person next to him must be another one of their victims. The best thing to do would be to wake the other person up and see if this person knows what is going on. He reaches for the arm across his waist and shakes it a bit. Derek tries whispering, but for some reason it comes out really loud. Great, they screwed with his vocal cords too! This isn't even his voice!
"Hey, wake up."
IIB. Trying to function... and failing. (August 11th)
This is the second day in Matt Weasley's body and trying to get around in this body is... IT'S REALLY HARD! He had to depend on touch more just to get dressed. He finally decided on what he think is a pair of jeans and t-shirt. Hopefully they look OK together. He eventually found Matt's walking stick and is trying to use it (and failing miserably) to get around but being blind was harder that Derek could ever imagine and the noise is only so manageable. He hears EVERYTHING! The bugs, every single step someone takes, his own breathing, his stomach digesting food. And don't get him started on the smells. He has smelled so many things he has never ever wanted to smell. He finally finds a park and a bench to sit on. Not that he really wanted to sit on it. He can smell all the dried bird poop that has probably collected on it over the years. Derek had thought he could leave Matt's house and find his own flat but... he got lost somewhere along the way. And he doesn't know how to use Matt's phone. How can you text if you can't see what you're typing?
So here he is, lost, at some park, panicking. His eyes are wide and his breathing is starting to get heavy as he tires to figure out what to do. He doesn't notice when someone is passing by him as he mumbles to himself.
"W-what do I do?"

"W-what do I do?"
1C Phantom Family
You recognize him sis? Thank God...finally...
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Amanda looks a little put out and Derek's response.]
"Derek! Don't be stupid! You know who I am!"
[Derek frowns at the teenage girl.]
I'm sorry... I don't.
[He looks at the woman holding his hand. This woman, who he feels very strongly attracted to, though he doesn't know why.]
You said... she's my sister... then who are you? My girlfriend?
"Who else would I be?"
[Derek is so confused right now. The woman also frowns.]
"Derek... what's wrong?"
[Derek grapples to find the right words to say.]
I-I... I don't know. I don't know either of you... I ....
[But before he could continue, a man and woman appear out of nowhere. They look older, and they are looking at Derek with loving eyes. The woman walks up to Derek and holds his face her hands. Derek flinches a bit at the touch.]
"My boy, my beautiful boy."
[Derek's eyes widen. What the hell is going on? Who are these people?]
Re: 1C Phantom Family
When he notices Mr and Misses Matthews suddenly pop out of no where, his heart sank...and gets suspicious. All of them at once recognize him now?!
His feet move slowly forward, toward them.
He smiles when Mama Mathew holds Derek.]
You too Mama? Papa?
[Said a little louder, in disbelief and in fear. That somehow, this would all backfire on him. And it would be his fault.]
Re: 1C Phantom Family
The woman frowns at Derek flinching away and looks almost hurt.]
"Derek...it's me, your mother and father. Don't you remember us?"
[Derek shakes his head.]
I know who my parents are! You're not my parents!
[The woman around his age that was holding his hand, gives him a concerned look.]
"Derek, how can you speak to your parents that way?"
[Before Derek can respond a familiar unwanted face appears among the group of people. It was that kid! His name was... Al right?]
"So this is how you treat your family?" he sneered. "Perhaps I was better off in the orphanage. You said you'd always be there for me! What kind of brother are you!"
[Derek glares at who he thinks is the real Al.]
I'm not your brother! Is this your doing?
[Derek rips his hands away from the girl who protests loudly.]
Is this some kind of trick?
Re: 1C Phantom Family
NO ONE, gets to throw THAT kind of shade on his amnesia prone jerk of a brother, then HIM!
and HOW the hell was he supposed to pull this off?! That DICK must be denser then he thought! Even if this WAS his doing, he wouldn't show his face and risk screwing this up!
He walks toward the group, pulls his golden hilt dagger at his "other self". This can't be real. He frowns at him. Now that he is closer, it is evident that Al has barley been able to sleep. His eyes are saggy and he just looks tired and cranky]
Okay punk. If your going to impersonate me, at least get your facts right!
Dr.Amnesia here NEVER SAID THAT! He just said he was going to TRY!
[His tone shifts to sadness]
It's not like that promise matters anymore anyway...
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Get away from me.
[His voice comes out low, fill with disdain.]
Get the hell away from me.
[Derek rises from the bench and starts backing away from Al.
More people appear around Derek (the four other siblings) and are trying to get Derek to talk to them.]
NO GET AWAY! I'm not who you think I am! I HAVE MY OWN FAMILY!
[Derek covers his ears in an attempt to keep out all the voices.]
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Fine, deal with your own crap then.
Hope, you realize they are all fake at least.
[When he covers his ears, Al actually feels sorry for Derek, knowing all too well how that feels like. But he is getting fed up with just being brushed aside, especially when for once he was trying to act altruistically and expected nothing in return.]
Re: 1C Phantom Family
No.. s-stop it!
[Derek presses his hands to his ears harder and closes his eyes.]
I don't want to know! I... I don't want to know about a life where I'm don't have the family I have now... because they're dead...
[Derek feels a hand wrap around his wrist and pull it away from his ear.]
"But what about us Derek? Didn't we make a difference in your life too? You told me you would always love me. No matter what. You were going to ask me to marry you!"
[At the mention of the word "marry" Derek's eyes fly open.]
What? We... we were that close?
[The man with the glasses lets out a snort before speaking.]
"The only reason the two of you weren't living together was because we had already signed a apartment contract together."
[Why did these people seem so familiar? What did this seem to make sense to him somehow?]
Re: 1C Phantom Family
He looks at Derek with some frustration]
Derek. Weather you want to look at this other life or not, is up to you.
[He takes a deep breath and his entire demeanor gets softer and more empathetic]
I wish I could tell you got to keep everything.
But, its not all bad.
I'm not saying give up your family.
I'm saying make room! Because in another life time WE were your family.
And although, all of us would feel something missing in our hearts.
I'm sure I can speak for everyone, when I say...
[He tears up and with another deep breath, he finally says something he wished he said to Derek before he lost him ]
We love you and wish you nothing but happiness.
Re: 1C Phantom Family
As sentimental as that is, why the hell am I seeing two of you?
[The girl with red hair pushes forward and practically scream at Derek.]
"DER-EK! You practically raised me! If it wasn't for me you said that you would have never felt like a part of the family! You said that I was your favorite little sister!"
[But Derek frowns at this.]
You? But Sakura is my favorite little sister. My only little sister...
[Derek is interrupted by the red hair girl again.]
"WHY WON'T YOU REMEMBER ME? IT'S ME! AMANDA! YOU GO ALL OUT FOR MY BIRTHDAY WITH A HUGE ASS CAKE THAT THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD FINISH! YOU BOUGHT ME NEW SPINNING SHOES! YOU WERE ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT ME! WAKE UP AND REMEMBER ME!"
[Derek jolts back at the outburst.]
BUT I CAN'T! I CAN'T REMEMBER SOMETHING IF THERE IS NOTHING FOR ME TO RECALL!
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Here I thought finally we might have a family moment.
[Al laughs]
Oh well, given the circumstances? About as good as I'm going to get.
[He takes a deep breath and listens to Amanda, then looks at Derek again]
Maybe all of this is a way for your soul to remember because Retrospec shenanigans?
Makes more sense then saying we are sharing a hallucination.
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Hallucination? Remember what? As far as I know, Retrospec only gives you memories, they don't take any away. Where did you come up with that idea?
Re: 1C Phantom Family
I've been doing some digging, and I'm not the only one saying they lost a sibling, or a friend of theirs suddenly have different memories.
So I'm guessing this is related to that. Cause, unless group hallucinations are a thing...which if it was, I'd hate to bring mine to show and tell.
Then I'm guessing Retrospec
Re: 1C Phantom Family
What kind of digging? What kind of people have you been gathering information from?
[Derek is questioning your research skills Al.]
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Just general poking around, asked a few people, app posts, comments. That sort of thing.
I don't got much, but Tatsuo and I are pretty sure memories are being tampered with, so we are trying to keep an eye out for more.
How though, we don't know. We just our suspicious and a few people that have mentioned something about a family or friend suddenly being different.
I don't suppose you have anyone else other then me saying you are a matthew?
Outside of...whatever the hell is going on right here.
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Tatsuo? How do you know Tatsuo?
Re: 1C Phantom Family
According to him, he is my chem teacher at school.
According to me, he was a cop that I talked to because he was a good friend of yours at the orphanage where you two met.
Both of us can't be right, and neither one has a reason to lie about it.
Re: 1C Phantom Family
[OK, now Derek is just going to doubt you dude.]
Tatsuo doesn't have the stomach to handle being a cop. And he's suppose to be an orphan too? Why are all the people you talk to you tell them that their parents are suppose to be dead. Isn't that a bit rude?
Re: 1C Phantom Family
I don't WANT people to lose their families!
Do you think this is easy for me?!
[His eyes water up, his voice gets shaky]
Telling my brother "hey, so, you don't remember me because your parents are magically alive." when he is happy with his own family?
Trust me, I want to be wrong about this. I want to be the crazy one here that had his memories tampered with; so everyone can be happy.
It's Tatsuo who is encouraging me to stick to my guns here and try to look for proof!
Re: 1C Phantom Family
[Derek's voice comes out agitated.]
Does it suck that much that I'm apparently not your brother anymore? I couldn't have been your only sibling.
Re: 1C Phantom Family
The only sibling that I was opening up to.
[He takes a deep breath]
This kind of stuff would be hard to prove, even if we did manage to talk to every app user and a good percentage did say they noticed. That proves nothing.
Anyway, I suppose your sick of me already.
Just a question though, has anyone else tried to tell you they noticed changes with you? Insisting your a Matthew, or maybe someone said you lived in a fancy building in viea village? or moved out of there say, around July ish?
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Has anyone else tried to tell you they noticed changes with you? Maybe like two people.
Insisting your a Matthew? Again, those two other people.
Or said you lived in a fancy building in Viea Village? Kenta lives in Viea Village and he had said something about him supposedly living next door. And he also said something about not needing to move out...
Was this weird kid onto something?
Derek shakes his head.]
No, can't say that I have.
[The desire to all this to not be true is strong with this one.]
Re: 1C Phantom Family
Oh...thought it would be more then just me...
Please, let it just be me who lost someone forever...
[He then turns away then speaks up a bit]
Well, I guess I will be going...sorry to bug you.
[He starts to walk away]
Re: 1C Phantom Family
He stares at Al for a moment and then shakes his head. No. That kid is nuts. Whatever he's saying isn't real... even if other people are also saying it. It's not real.
He turns and walks back to the hospital to continue his shift.]
IIA: Waking up in Matt's Body
He gently grabs the arm shaking him awake and leans over to kiss his husband on the cheek. "'S okay."
Re: IIA: Waking up in Matt's Body
[Derek's whole body freezes when he feels the kiss on his cheek. He felt it coming. The movement in the air and the smell of the man's morning breath coming closer to him, yet still he hadn't moved. WHO. WAS. THIS. GUY?
Derek instantly jolts away from the person and tries his best to forcibly push the arm off him.]
Who...who are you? What have you done to me! [This all said in a very posh english accent using his new "voice"]
[Derek can start to feel himself starts to slide of the bed, but he doesn't care. He just wants to get way from this guy.]
Re: IIA: Waking up in Matt's Body
Shit not again! [He grumbles.]
Hey hey- just listen. You're on Retrospec right? You're in in the wrong body. My husband is blind- that's why you can't see. [He whispers all of this and expects the other person is going to complain about it being too loud in a second.] He has super senses. That's why everything feels turned up to eleven.
Re: IIA: Waking up in Matt's Body
Urgh... what... what the hell is going on...
[Derek's breathing increases and he starts to panic. What's happening? He's in someones else's body? Like what happened to his sister the past few days? He's gonna suffer like this for days? The smells, the sounds, the lack of sight? Derek lets out another groan of pain as he starts noticing the pain in his back and his head due to the fall.]
