MEMORY BANK

---

The memories that characters lose during the course of the game don't just disappear into the void! They become an important part of game personalization — and may become a part of some other mechanics down the line. 🤫

MEMORY LOSS

For all that characters feel corporeal when they enter the game, much of that feeling comes from the resiliency of their memories — which they will be repeatedly asked to give up, in various forms.

As you submit memories, mods may sometimes reply to give you information on how your character may find the setting responds to them differently, though this will always be at player discretion to play out or not — just think of them as prompts!

To submit a memory, copy the form below and paste it in a reply to your character comment with the subject MEMORY LOSS. You may do this at any time.

<b>MEMORY TYPE</b>: ## Small, medium, or large. This is how we classify memories for use in future rewards. Don't overthink it! Just make your best judgment call. ## <b>MEMORY DETAILS</b>: ## Tell us about the memory your character has lost! Feel free to include links to videos/screenshots/wiki pages for context if you would like. ## <b>MECHANISM</b>: ## How was the memory lost? The current options for this field are: taken as the character's First Toll, paid to The Ferryman during a Crossing, or lost due to an injury during a Crossing. ##

MEMORY LOSS

[spaghettimonster]

MEMORY TYPE: Medium
MEMORY DETAILS: the skeleton gave up the memories time spent in his room with his brother, especially those of the time they spent assembling his "battle body" - the costume outfit he wears through most of the game and various Undertale merchandise.

(This comic isn't exactly my headcanon for how it went - I think it was a much more shared effort between them, rather than Sans working while Papyrus looked on, but I do love the face journey through this, and its depiction of the skelebros interacting.)

The wording of the toll was "a physical place, positive emotions associated with it, 'for a moment or a lifetime'" - the Ferryman doesn't take more than that, but this was Papyrus's first time giving up memories willingly, and it's hard to think of only one moment. He's entirely lost the time of the outfit's construction and the fact that he made it working with Sans. I'm deciding that his memories of his room are hazier - he only partially remembers what it looked like, some of the things in it, and how much time he spent in there awake (especially during the night, given his insomnia) - and some of his more positive feelings about his brother are likewise muted.

MECHANISM: Paid to The Ferryman during a Crossing (Desert departure)
