Event Eleven.
[ 9/21 - 9/28 ]
There could be a lot of causes of this event -- perhaps it's the amount of color that's been restored to the Town! Perhaps it's the number of characters who came in this month? Perhaps it's all the muddling around in the well? The possibilities are endless... but either way, something everyone has done has caused a few unexpected side effects this month.
Starting on 9/21, whenever someone makes contact with another character, they will share a memory with them. The type of "contact" that has to happen can be very loose, and will vary from character to character. A particularly handsy character may have to touch someone to share a memory with them, while a more reticent character may only have to make eye contact. Feel free to be as creative as you like; the trigger for the memory sharing can be anything you'd like for it to be! Both characters will experience the memory in question that's being shared, so the character doing the sharing will be very aware of what just happened.
As for the memories... they can be anything! Happy, sad, dramatic, mundane and everything in between... whatever you'd personally like the other character to experience is fair game here. But, of course, this is Awash, and things can never be that simple, so there is a bit of a twist:
For Yellows: Any character who is experiencing a yellow's memory will feel the physical aspects of what the character was experiencing in their memory. If the character was stabbed? They'll feel like they were stabbed. If they were peacefully sleeping, they'll probably feel more rested.
For Reds: Characters experiencing a red character's memory will be able to experience their thoughts in that memory. They will be able to hear what the character was thinking, what was going through their head, and what was on their mind (if anything!).
For Blues: Every character experiencing a blue character's memory will feel the character's emotional state. They'll feel how upset the character was, how happy they were, how overwhelmed they were. Those emotions will be as fresh and intense as if they were their own emotions.
Please note that these are influenced by the characters who are sharing the memories; your character, regardless of color, can experience all of these! They can also be as strong or weak of an impact as you want -- it can vary by character, so please don't feel as though you have to share every last thought a character had, for instance, to share a memory.
Oh, and one more thing: it will be very, very subtle at first, but the longer the week goes on, the more strongly characters will feel the need to be around others; they will be tense, stressed and nervous the longer they go without spending time with someone. So that plan to hole up in your house and let this pass you by? It's... going to be a lot harder than it first seemed.
The event log for this event will be up 9/21! If there are any questions, please feel free to ask them here!

So when you say physical aspects for yellows, that's basically only what/how their body physically felt during the memory but removed from the emotion that may've caused it?
For instance, if the character in a memory felt a weight on their chest that made it hard to breathe because of, say, fear or something, the person the memory is shared with will only feel the physical aspect but not the emotion of fear that caused the physical reaction. Am I understanding it right?

And one more similar question: Yellows can't share their emotions from the memory at all, or can they it's just not as clear/strong as it would be if they were blue?
Asking cuz when I read the post the last part sounded like that to me so I just want to be sure!

All we meant by the last part is that the volor of the character receiving the memory has no impact! A blue character can receive a yellow character's physical sensations when experiencing their memories. We hope that clarifies things!

It would be in small ways such as his hand passing through a doorknob before becoming solid again. Basically just small bursts at a time for a couple of hours.

So it's totally fine to have the feeling of those effects linger if you'd like them to, but nobody will actually be intangible; they'll just feel as though they are! We hope that helps clarify things!
