mem 1 - Or do you just not like me?!

[stakesthesame]

Requiem is there with her axe(guitar???), swinging it down at a large yellow humanoid creature with a loud, frustrated yell. The creature pulls a key of its key rings and throws it at the air, opening a door-- directly to the full sunlight, as Requiem rushes up to try to hit the creature again. She's covered in light and hisses in pain, jerking back and curling up on the carpet.

"Marceline!" A boy's voice yells, familiar. He runs up to get with a large yellow dog and a girl with pink hair and skin alongside. "Are you okay?!"

"Yeah," Requiem says weakly, shielding her face from the light.

"Don't worry, we'll get him," the boy says, already driving through the door. The others follow.

After taking a minute for her wounds to heal and to put on some shoulder-length gloves and a hat with an absurdly wide brim, Requiem joins the others(now shielded from the sun!) in time to hear the boy say,

"This door shall yield to no command... save for a song from a... genuine band? WHAT IS THIS GRIPPA-GRAP?!"

"It's the door of the Door Lord, Finn," says the pink girl next to Requiem. "We used to lock them up but they kept breaking out. Because they're Door Lords."

"They broke out because you let them live," Requiem says, snidely, and the pink girl makes an angry noise.

Finn looks thoughtful. "Door said it'll open for a genuine band. Let's try to music this door open as a quintet!"

"Can I be the jerk in the band? Cuz that's an important part of a band's success," the dog says, harrumphing. His face shrinks.

Requiem floats up higher. "I know how to get through this door," she explains, proudly, and plucks out a tune on her axebass. "We're gonna lay down some chill jams."

Finn excitedly responds with, "Hey! Yeah yeah yeah"

"Just, keep it cool," Requiem says, idly flapping a hand, before pointing accusingly at the pink girl. "Got that, Princess?"

The girl hmphs, and this happens.

Requiem looks at the door, embarrassed and put out, and looks back down at the princess. She rushes down to her level, angrily, still floating. "STOP staring at me! Ugh, you threw me off!"

Finn starts clapping and dancing, panicked. "Come on everybody don't stop now! The door was responding to our music!" They stop and stare at him. "I wonder what it liked? Or what was missing?!"

blah blah continue until noodle break.

[stakesthesame]

[Marcy is leaning against a wall in a hall full of tables; there's plenty of people sitting at the tables, all different sorts of creatures-- some distinctly not quite humanoid-- and all of them wearing some form of crown/tiara/jewel on their heads. ]

Breakfast Princess: We are delighted to host this year's Princess Day in Breakfast Kingdom! Please enjoy the continental breakfast expertly prepared by our Breakfast Chefs. Now, on to more pressing matters. Brigands have been attacking our western seaports, dozens of unregistered princesses roam the land, and trade deficits are at an all-time high. Historically, Breakfast Kingdom has traded one sack of sugar a month to Slime Kingdom in exchange for four eggs, but egg production has plummeted!

Slime Princess: I can't just pop out eggs on command! I'm an artisan!

Breakfast Princess: You have an egg in you right now.

Slime Princess: [gasps, covers the egg] How dare you.

Muscle Princess: Yeah, and what about that peanut juice, Peanut Princess? My body needs juice!

Peanut Princess: I'm not giving out a single drop of nut butter. Not until Raggedy Princess pays me!

Raggedy Princess: Fine! Take it! [starts pulling socks out of her eye] Take all my socks!

Peanut Princess: You still owe me a pair of jorts!

Lumpy Space Princess: [bored, arguing is heard through the room] Aaah! [hits her arms on the table] You guys, I'm bored out of my face! I make a motion to stop talking about dumb stuff that's lame!

Breakfast Princess: Oh, Lumpy Space Princess, I'm afraid you'll have to be patient with us and our petty disputes. Not all of us have achieved the self-sufficiency that I assume you have in your kingdom. [gasps] Oh wait, that's right. You don't have a kingdom! You live in a box in the woods.

Lumpy Space Princess: It's not a box. It's a rotting log.

Breakfast Princess: [scoffs] Sorry, LSP, but the chair only recognizes real princesses, not bums.

Lumpy Space Princess: What?! I'm like a cool hippie!

Breakfast Princess: Whatever, freeloader. If you were invited to Princess Day, it must have been a mistake or as a joke. Am I right, girls?

Strudel Princess: [sitting behind Breakfast Princess] Ohh!

And this continues from that point.

Memory 10/11

[stakesthesame]

10 - We're not playing, Fool!

here.

Thoughts:
- Definitely not the FIRST vampire she's killed, but the first "powerful" one, maybe.
- Discovering she can suck in the dust to obtain powers.
- The scratches on her bass are marks denoting all the vampires she's killed, apparently.

11 - Killing the Moon.

The entirety of the Spooktacular issue.

-"Why did we come here? To relive all my happy memories of being abandoned?" ... abandoned by "Simon"?
-Not a vampire; hunting them, and also out during the day anyway.
-Welp, humans sure think I'm a freak.
-THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER VOICE
-"The Fool's dead." "Really?"
-OH BOY I SURE DID CUT OFF THAT VAMPIRE'S HEAD I GUESS THIS IS JUST A THING I DO HUH (she got better.)
-I sure did survive a fucking house collapsing on me, huh.
-... i love my puppy...
-Definitely kind of resigned to being alone except for Schwabl, by the end of this.

Memory 12/13/14

[stakesthesame]

12 - I Remember You.
(entirety of episode)

Requiem is floating above her couch playing her bass when she hears someone outside her house calling for "anybody home". She recognizes the voice: she feels some dread as she goes outside to meet him. He's an old man in blue robes with a crown and a huge beard carrying a drum set(??) and an omnichord keyboard. Req gets angry, says she's TOLD him not to come around her anymore, and he carries on saying he just wanted help writing a song for some "princess action".

"-- I'm not gonna help you pick up on chicks!"
"Come on, we can be a prog-rock duo! I'll even split the fans with you. I can have the princesses and you can have the... whatever it is you're into."

She's not amused. He flies into her house anyway and she follows, telling him to leave. He begs her to let him play what he has so far, but gets tangled up in the keyboard chord. Req's irritation dies die into something like pity. FINN AND JAKE ENTER THE SCENE to scold Ice King and take him away, but Req tells them nah, it's fine, they're working on a song together. They reluctantly leave. After setting up the stuff, Req plays a little tune on the keyboard, and Ice King starts to sing what he's thought up. It's uncomfortable. Ice King starts getting a little out of hand with being overemotional and Req tells him to stop acting crazy, tackling him down. He pushes her off. Then apologizes for shoving her, and escapes to the kitchen to hide on top of the refrigerator and "stay out of her way." He immediately bothers her again once she gets an apple out of the fridge and, frustrated, she slumps to the ground.

These scenes-- singing her frustrations about Ice King's mental state, his misunderstanding her feelings for romantic interest and her correcting him, discovering his old picture of her as a child and the messages "Simon" had written for her on them, and singing a song together using those lyrics, end the memory.
-------------
Thoughts:
-Frustration and regret and resentment and-- the feelings of abandonment are back.
-As well as a healthy amount of pity for this strange, crazy man.
-Related to above, a realization that maybe she was abandoned because HE was sick, not because of anything she did wrong.
-Despite all that, she still loves him. He's family.

-------------

Memory 13 - Let's go in the garden.

A very small Requiem is cradled in the arms of a woman with dark skin and hair, who's petting her. Req is only half-listening to the woman talk in a low, soothing voice, as she ends her story with, "... and he said "fine." And that's the story of how I met your dad."

Req wants to go play, but her mother insists it's naptime. Req fights back, claiming her dreams are weird. Her mother says ALL dreams are weird.

"But mom, my dreams are weeeeeeeeeird!"
"Honey, something weird might just be something familiar viewed from a different angle. And that's not scary... right?"

Her mother hugs her to her chest and starts to sing.
Let's go in the garden, you'll find something waiting,
right there where you left it lying upside-down.

When you finally find it, you'll see how it's faded,
the other side is lighter when you turn it around.

Everything stays...

Thoughts:
-Mom is human.
-Mom's lullaby.
-... mom.

Memory 14 - The Vampire King.

Requiem is fighting.

It's long and tiring, and the [Madness], the very same from her memory fighting Hierophant, is intense, almost concentrated. Her violence is single-minded and it's hard to think past it-- her focus is on the lion-faced Vampire King, doing her all to kill him. He's not untouched but she's definitely faring worse in this situation, her axe broken at the neck and only a stake left as her weapon. She's covered in scratches, bruises. Despite that she's grinning, absolutely HYPED to murder this guy. Before, she told herself it was about revenge, about protecting the humans. And while that's not untrue not-- it was in there, somewhere-- she looks at the Vampire King now and sees only power.

Power that will be hers. They separate. The Vampire king calls out from the smokestack of the ship.

"You can stop this now, Marceline," he says. "You've got power now. I see it. But you haven't paid a price-- it's making you crazy. Marceline... there's no one left but me. Would you wipe out an entire species?"
"For the last time, YES! That is LITERALLY my entire plan!"

They leap, clash again, and struggle. The Vampire King slams down, pinning Req to the deck of the ship; her stake arm strains against his grip, the tip pressed over his heart, not yet piercing. He claims there's still another way to save his people, his fangs elongating. She gets it immediately-- panics--

"Wait--"

And he bites. The horror is worse than the pain, but that's not insignificant either. She screams. Her vision goes red.

Memory 15 - He~llo, Bonnibel :)

[stakesthesame]

Requiem's cellphone rings.

She picks it up after a moment; Jake the Dog is on the other end! He tells her he needs a favor, they want to make Princess Bubblegum jealous so she'll go to the movies with Finn. She doesn't answer, because she's like, already in their house, and crawls out from under a pile of clothes to hiss at Jake and scare him. He screams like a baby, heh. She agrees to help because it'll be funny though.

They go to the castle. Jake tells Finn to say stuff and tells Req to start laughing a lot so PB takes notice and gets totally jealous. They do, and PB comes to the window to see what's up. She greets Finn normally, smiling.

Requiem gets a bland, "Hey, Marceline."
She waggles her fingers and says "He~llo, Bonnibel," back.

PB brushes her off and tells them to keep it down cuz she's whistle practicing, and goes away. Jake decides it went great and it's time to move on to !!PHASE TWO!! and leaves to get it ready. Requiem tells Finn that he should stop taking advice from his dog and start listening to a REAL GIRL. Who knows what girls want better than a real girl?! She advises Finn that girls love fun, and asks what he likes to do for fun. Finn's a rowdy boy who likes to WRESTLE and FIGHT but he's worried girls don't like that stuff.

Requiem IMMEDIATELY tells him that NOPE GIRLS LOVE THAT HE SHOULD TOTALLY GET IN THERE AND WRESTLE HER AND SHOW HER HOW FUN HE IS, AND SHE'LL DEFS WANNA GO TO THE MOVIES WITH HIM. She floats off for a bit.

When she finds him again in the castle Jake is shapeshifted into a fancy chair and Finn is wearing a Lute Suit. She thinks he looks awful, Jake thinks it's cute, and Req says it's gonna ruin the plan. Finn admits he was gonna give Req's plan a try and Jake gets upset. When PB approaches, Req turns into a bat and hides on the ceiling. Finn starts playing his lute for PB and she starts laughing at him because he looks hilarious. Finn is sad. Req gets his attention and pantomimes wrestling, and he grabs PB in a headlock instead and gives her the people's elbow. Fun!!

He gets tossed out of the castle.

Req flies over and says that the suit was ridiculous. Jake gets offended and flounces off. Req notes he seems pretty ticked but Finn says he just needs some spaghetti. Req explains shortly that the only thing girls love more than fun is excitement and that PB needs to get her blood pumping and be

cHASED

BY

WOLVES


She takes Finn out to find a wolf pack. They run around with the wolf pack growling and barking and foaming at the mouth and howling at the moon and junk. And then they start a PACK FIGHT. They steal two wolves and bring the snarling beasts back to PB's castle and sneak them into her room and shut the door. Finn seems satisfied. Req tells him not to blow it this time and leaves.

When they meet up at Finn's house later he tells her he got banished for acting like a psycho or whatever and he doesn't understand what went wrong.

Req scoffs. "A brainlord like Bonnie? You'd be bored with her in a week!"

She tells him she thinks he's pretty great and she's sorry it didn't work out the way he wanted before she takes off and goes home.

THOUGHTS:
-this entire fucking memory is literally just being a petty jealous bitch, holy shit
-IT'S LITERALLY ALL JUST, INTENTIONALLY PISSING BONNIE OFF
-WHY AM I SO JEALOUS?????????????

Memory 16 - Business? Dad, what do you even do.

[stakesthesame]

(S4 E11)

Requiem pokes out through a portal she's created in Finn and Jake's treehouse, where Jake's playing with his new camera phone, and invites them back to the Nightosphere with her cuz she's visiting her dad and she's super bored. They express worry that the last time they saw her dad Finn cut open his soul sack (?????) but Req insists nah, it's cool. So they go back with her.

Req and Finn are playing with a banjo and a tambourine when Req's dad, in crazy demon form wanders up and scares Jake-- then seems to recognize them, because he greets them warmly and even hugs Finn after taking his normal form, claiming "See how I'm not killing you??" Req's embarrassed by this and tells him to stop. He takes this chance to ask if she's thought about his offer-- she seems immediately annoyed-- and Jake asks him what offer is that.

He explains that he wants Req to finally take over the family business and rule the Nightosphere. Req scoffs, "Business? Dad, what do you even do."

He leads her over to a window and explains that everyone in the Nightosphere is confused and frustrated and that this world is sustained by chaos. Req says she just doesn't see herself doing this biz, and he says she'll come around, or maybe she won't! She's an independent woman! Then he says he's going to take a nap, but not before taking an amulet off from around his neck and handing it to Req (which coincidentally also takes his suit with it, leaving him down to his undershirt/boxers. Dad, come on.)

He says, "You should put this amulet on. It'll grant your wishes for like, ponies. Or whatever it is kids like."
"Dad, I'm a thousand years old," Req says.
He laughs, ruffling her hair obnoxiously. "Yes you are sweetie! Daddy's little monster!"

She's clearly embarrassed, and says they should just play something, so her and Finn jam a bit. And she puts the amulet on, and...

Becomes a monster, just like her father, attacking both Finn and Jake.



---


There's a kind of large memory gap, here-- when it fades back in, she's floating above Finn and Jake again, who exclaim "Hunson Abadeer!!" She tells them they can't trespass here (a sort of tower). They say they just want to go home.

Finn says, "Yeah. Why'd you lock us up, Abadeer? When Marceline finds out about this, it's gonna stir up some heavy daddy-daughter issues!"

The monster-Req exclaims that NO ONE leaves the Nightosphere and attacks them again. They manage to escape into another room that has a portal, and leap into it-- she follows. She attacks Jake and tries to suck out his soul, but Finn fights back and slices open her head. The memory clears a bit here as Req's real body pops out of the wound.

She yells that she's going to close the portal and that they're forbidden from coming back to the Nightosphere. They try to convince her to let them help her but she says it's too late and they need to stay away from her FOREEEEEVEEEER.

And then she closes the portal.


-------------------

THOUGHTS:
-hey dad quoi the fuck?

Memory 17 - Do you mean it?

[stakesthesame]

(S1 E22)

Requiem notices Jake and Finn fooling around, and decides to mess with them. She calls up one of her old friends and sets up nearby, talking loudly enough for the boys to overhear as she treats the old man like a servant, telling him that henchman for life means HENCHMAN FOR LIFE when he begs for mercy. When she starts commanding him to do embarrassing acts (which... he does...) Finn and Jake run in, yelling at her to stop making him cry. Finn tells the man he'll get him set free and Req dismissively asks how he's gonna pull that off.


"I'll do what I need to. I-I'll even take his place!" Finn says.
Req's definitely interested by this, and says seriously, "Do you mean it?"

He agrees, much to Jake's despair, and Req "sets free" her old man henchman, who yells happily and exits stage right. She spends a minute or two scaring Jake as he tries to convince Finn not to do it and taunting Finn's "code of honor", before grabbing Finn by his backpack and taking off with him, leaving Jake behind.

As they're flying, Req tells Finn that as henchman his first task is to help her ~FEED~, and he gets nervous, trying to psyche himself up, he can totally handle it! They arrive at a man's house and she tells him to open the door, but Finn resists, saying that he's not gonna do what she says if people are going to be hurt. She counters that he said he was bound by his word to do as she says, and he reluctantly gives in, and they enter the house and he holds the older man-- wearing a big red bow tie-- down at Req's command. The man asks Finn to let him go.

"I'm sorry sir, I'm bound by code of honor to do as she says," he says, sweating.
The man says, "I understand son. I was married myself once."
"-- Wait wait I'm not married to--" Finn starts, but he interrupted by Req making a frustrated noise and claiming dinner is served.

There's some back and forth as Finn tries to prevent her from biting him, until she uses magic to curl up his arms, and then bites...

...

His bowtie. She drains the red and turns it white, and the man is immediately excited by his new white and thanks Req happily. Finn is confused and alarmed and Req says, "What's wrong? You know I eat the color red sometimes." And winks at him.

She takes Finn and flies off again, exclaiming with a laugh that they've got PLENTY more evil to do!! And they head to a cemetery. Once there, she uses necromancy to revive a bunch of confused skeletons and asks if Finn is ready to lead an evil army of the undead. He resists again!! But gives in, terrified. They lead the skeleton army to the Duke of Nuts' castle and she asks if Finn's ready to hear the wild screams of an entire castle. Finn, frightened, says yeah totally of course and that he's gonna go scope things out.

Req comes up to the castle with her skeleton army as Finn is screaming at the nut-people to RUN FOR THEIR LIVES. She flies in strumming her bass and sings. The Duke of Nuts is immediately excited and exclaims he forgot Marceline was playing tonight!! Everyone starts partying! Finn is baffled... but is starting to figure out that her "evil" commands are ultimately good.

After a bit Req comes up to him and asks if he wants to see the cutest dimple plant ever. They coo over it for a bit, and then Req hands it to him and says she wants him to kill it. Use her axe-bass! and this happens.

-----

THOUGHTS:
-this seems like a pretty early memory since she's definitely... meaner to Finn...
-but also watching him get ate by a plant was pretty funny. heh.

Memory 18 - Time Sandwich

[stakesthesame]

(S5 E33)

Req gets a call! It's... Princess Bubblegum. She asks her to come over to Finn and Jake's treehouse to help with a problem, so she heads on over there. There's a giant yellow ball out in front with a bunch of junk in it, such as:

-A bunch of broken planks from the blown-out side of the treehouse
-BMO on a skateboard with a tiny explosion behind them looking Very Cool
-A green guy in tattered yellow clothes and a hat with a BEAUTIFUL SANDWICH in his hands, as if he's about to eat it. This is Magic Man.

Everything in the bubble is moving INCREDIBLY slowly. PB begins explaining what happened-- that Jake made this perfect sandwich and Magic Man came to steal it and now he's eating it in slow motion in this molasses bubble or whatever and they've gotta get it back for Jake before MM touches the ground and takes a bite out of it. Also there's a dumb riddle or something?

As she starts talking about what the bubble is made of Jake comes out and sadly sits on the ground and Req interrupts her to ask how he's doing. He's very sad! She sits down next to him and pets him and tells him not to be sad, and PB and Finn join them and say Req's got a GREAT plan.

"What's your plan?" Jake asks.
And then Req transforms into a giant demon and yells "DEMON JUICE," and flies up into the air and elbow-drops into Magic Man's slow-time-ball.

Predictably, this does not work, and she ALSO is stuck in slow motion. Except then Jake runs into the bubble, but apparently because of the Dumb Riddle every time he's not sad he starts going in slow motion again, so he makes himself cry a whole lot and runs in and socks Magic Man in the face, saving his sandwich.

The time bubble pops, MM falls onto the ground, demon-Req SLAMS her elbow into his gut, and BMO skateboards over his face. Happy ending.

Memory 19 - You do NOT want to go down that road with me!

[stakesthesame]

You start to settle in to a nice night at home to play some jams, and... hear something outside. Oh come ON, now?? Please. You drift over to look out the window and--

Your young friend is out there, yell-asking for you to go to the movies with him.

Uh oh.

You open the door and tell him you guys uh... you need to talk about this. He enters and tells you that your ~escort~ is here and you warn him that he really, really doesn't want this; you're simultaneously irritated and pity him, doesn't he know what he's asking? Geez.

He essentially says he doesn't care, so you decide to prove him wrong; you explode into dozens of slimy tentacles and wrap him up. How could he possible want THIS?

He just asks how you like your snacks.

You're frustrated now, and you warn him that he's annoying you, but he persists, so you throw him onto the couch and start trying to explain that you like him, BUT--

He grabs you and tries to wrestle you instead, trying to be playful, but you're too pissed off at this point, so you grab him and pin him down and tell him to listen, no, you're NOT going with him, you don't like him like that. And you let him go.

He flops over sadly and you calm down, apologize, and explain you don't want to date. He's surprised, and says he doesn't want that either, he just wants to go to the movies but his brother says there's weird kissing requirements. His brother, who's been hovering near the couch this whole time, gives a sort of shamed mumble that that's not really what he said(but it clearly is).

Oh! Well, that clears that up. You perk up a bit and say that yeah, you'll totally go with him! As friends.

(But no tongue.)

You both go to the movies and sit back from the crowd; your friend is excited to finally be seeing it. But... it's a gross sappy romance movie, and all the other couples there start smooching immediately. Ugh! Great.

Your friend says couples' night sucks and he wants to get out of here, and you agree. So you shove him through the projector screen and you both RIDE SOME WOLVES OUTTA THERE. AWOOOOOO

Memory 20/21/22/23

[stakesthesame]

Memory 20. I've got a story of my own!
(s5 e11)

Ice King is reading a story that he wrote to a bunch of Princesses he's locked up in ice cages to hold captive and listen to him. It's basically a bad sexswap fanfic about his characters named "Fiona and Cake" and his literal self-insert self rescuing them and having adventures etc etc. One of the princesses wonders if this is a new form of torture. The rest of the princesses also interrupt and start complaining that it's a bad story and that maybe more romance or realism could make it better.

Req is floating around invisible, watching this, as Ice King refuses to listen to any of their complaints. So she flips his shirt up over his head-- he shoves it down, embarrasses. Then she picks him up and spins him around a few times before putting him down, then floating over to unlock all of the cages and release the princesses. Ice King exclaims out into the air that HE'S SORRY GOB HE DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE REAL.

Requiem materializes next to him and scares him with a simple "boo," and floats down into his throne. He asks how long she's been there and she says "Oh, a few hours." She must have heard his story then! She gently says that it's good, but maybe it's time for someone else to try, and gestures to herself. Ice King frowns. Req waggles her eyebrows and tells the princesses to listen up, and they happily gather around to listen to her story.

She tells a story about Fiona and Cake as well; it's a rainy day and they're both very bored, throwing axes at the wall, and Cake teases Fiona that Prince Gumball's missions delivering daisy chains to the Fluffy People must not be exciting enough. She agrees, saying his missions are kinda lame... and throws her axe, almost hitting Prince Gumball as he comes in with a thank you gift of pink cream puffs from the Fluffy People. There's a thump from outside-- something swoops by and takes all the creampuffs-- Fiona exclaims its on the roof!! Cake doesn't want to go out because it's wet and Prince Gumball agrees, so Fiona grumpily carries them both (PG on her back, Cake shrunk and under her hat) up to the roof of the treehouse with an umbrella.

Marshall Lee is on the roof playing his axe guitar in the rain, and greets Fiona casually. PG is immediately offended by his over-the-top fake greeting and bow and tells Fiona they should go back inside. Marshall responds with disbelief and a laugh and tosses one of the stolen cream puffs in his face, so he scoffs and climbs back down on his own, telling Fiona to find him when she wants more polite company.

Marshall laughs. "What a wad."
"A... gum wad?" Fiona says, giggling nervously, and Cake scolds her.

The rain stops. Marshall says they should ditch him, and transforms into a bat monster, holding a hand out for Fiona as he tells her that Lumpy Space Prince is having a party. He already knows she's gonna say yes to him so they should just go.

So they do! ( also the missing song from that vid )

Memory 21 - I don't think there are bad people.

Here from 0:50.

After Req puts Breakfast Princess in the trunk they drive off. Soon they stop and open the trunk again (her and Lumpy Space Princess are wearing paper plate masks), and Breakfast Princess immediately recognizes LSP. BP gets out of the trunk and they drop a shovel next to her. She asks what that's for in disbelief and LSP tells her to start digging and build a sand castle. And don't stop or they'll KNOW!!!

Req and LSP get back in the car and drive off. LSP says it was fun being bad with her and Req agrees.

After being quiet for a second, LSP says, "Do you think, like, doing all that bad stuff makes us...like, bad people?"
Req seems a bit troubled. "Uh...probably not. I don't think there are bad people. I think good people do bad stuff sometimes, and, oh, that's bad. Butif you only do it once, it's just a mistake, and...that's not bad. I think."

They express some regret about stealing the CD and agree to mail it back. Then Req accidentally drives the car into a ditch and destroys it, but floats out of it and holds LSP up so she doesn't fall.

They high five.

Thoughts:
- Continuation of memory 5.
- "Yobo" is a (Korean) expression similar to "dear" or "darling". Feels kinda weird.
- Being "bad" with LSP was fun at the time but once they had a minute to sit down and think about it Req definitely starts to feel conflicted.
- (generally seems to rely on the people around her for moral guidance, ish)

Memory 23 - You... kept the shirt I gave you?

Here.

After giving BMO back their rescued controller, Jake pulls out a t-shirt and offers Req her "rock shirt". Req starts to say that it's not hers and PB runs over to take it, embarrassed, exclaiming that it's her shirt.

Req flusters a little. "You... kept the shirt I gave you?"
"Yeah!" PB says. "It uh, means a lot to me."
"But you never wore it."
"Dude, I wear it all the time!" PB exclaims, pulling it over her head. "As pajamas."

Finn asks what Req was missing if that's PB's shirt. Req freezes up, silent. Realization hits Finn and he laughs, exclaiming that Req doesn't HAVE a thing, she just wanted to hang out with them! Req fights back, saying she didn't, but Finn continues on saying that she's caught and he figured her out.

Embarrassed, she turns into a monster and chases them out of the Door Lord's room, yelling that she's gonna kill them.

Memory 24 - I want you to do the procedure.

[stakesthesame]

Req is trapped in a desert area; the sun is low in the sky, but there's nothing around except the one tree she's hid in the shade of. She dropped her umbrella just outside it; she spends a moment psyching herself up that the sun will only hurt for a moment, that's nothing in the face of eternity, as she continually tries to reach for it and keeps getting burned. After a few tries she puts some SPF 10million sunscreen on her hand-- that's all she has left-- and announces it's JUST enough to reach her umbrella.

A gust of wind immediately carries the umbrella away and she covers her face and curls up for a bit. Then she just... rips the whole tree out and starts walking back with it to keep the shade on her.

She eventually makes her way back to a cabin on the shore of a lake, and-- shoves the whole tree through the window, knocking Princess Bubblegum off the seat she was sitting on and to the floor. Req crawls out from the leaves of the tree and says, "Uhhh. Knock knock."

PB is obviously surprised and a little irritated, and Req says it was supposed to be a joke-- then her expression goes a bit more somber and she says she actually has something serious to ask.

"I want you to do the procedure," she says, sitting on the floor. "The one we talked about?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't think you'd make a good blonde," PB returns.
"No, not that," Req says. "-- I don't wanna be a vampire anymore."

PB gasps, and they talk for a moment about how she's been working on a cure, everything's ready, but is Req sure?

Her expression goes distant, but she's resolute; she's sure. She was messed up when she became a vampire and it's been a thousand years and nothing's changed; she doesn't want to live with this emptiness and wants to grow up. ...so, PB agrees.

She prepares the serum for Req to drink in her lab and remarks that if this works... she'll eventually die. Req drinks the serum and says she guesses that'll be her last adventure. PB touches Req's shoulder, and for a moment it seems like she's going to say something meaningful-- Req can feel the hope rise in her chest-- but instead, she says how excited she is to test her new lab out on her.

Req deflates a bit and says, shaky, but clearly trying to joke, "Well don't get all sentimental on me..."
PB pauses, and puts down her clipboard, patting the machine table. "Come on over here," she says, and Req hops up to sit on it. "You know I care about you. I think you're making the right choice," she continues, petting Req's hair. "Your natural lifespan is going to be richer and fuller than you can imagine."

Req is eased by this, a bit, and lets PB lay her down in the machine. PB leans over, cupping her cheek and smiling.

"And some day, when you die, I'll be the one who puts you in the ground."

... well. Req has nothing to say to that, and stares after her as she goes to prepare the machine. PB remarks that this operation might not even work and, without warning, switches the machine on.

The light is blinding but Req can only concentrate on HOW BADLY IT TICKLES, HOLY FUCK. When it's over, though, she's exhausted-- she asks PB if it worked and PB admits she sucked all Req's vampire efluvium into a bucket but it might take a few days to know for sure, and that for now she should get some rest and she'd check on her in the morning.

"Thanks, P-brains," Req says, and is out almost immediately.

She has a dream, that night, that she's sucking the life out of a poor cow. She panics and breaks her vampire teeth off, but in doing so her body falls apart into five separate pieces. Each of the pieces swirl around her, turning into dark shadows and reaching out to grab her, and she screams--

And wakes up, alone, tripped over a broken fence in the middle of an empty field.
