- you're at a party! very much against your will, since you are currently tied to a chair at the front of the room. it's fine.
- at some point during this party, there's a loud rumbling noise and the chandeliers start to shake. there's a few moments where people wonder whether it was an earthquake, but after about five seconds of silence the ground itself starts cracking open. vines and branches start pouring out of the cracks, and the windows shatter as more plants start coming in through the panes.
- the plants seem to be at least slightly sentient in that they're aiming blows at random partygoers. people predictably start screaming and running. but you are still tied to a chair. you strain against the ropes to no avail and then start to call out for help.
- an older man comes forward to cut the ropes, and after you thank him, he hands you a map. when you ask what it's for, he tells you that it's a map to the nearby forest (the one that is currently attacking your castle and its inhabitants).
- he follows up by telling you that you need to go there Right Now. you immediately say you aren't leaving him or the others in the middle of a crisis like this, but he ends up telling you very abruptly that you need to go there so you can break a curse that's making the nearby forest act like this; that for some reason, it has to be you instead of someone else.
- but right before he can actually tell you how to break said curse, one of the chandeliers comes crashing down in the chaos. he gets hit by some of the falling glass, telling you once more before he passes out that you need to go now! right now!!!!!
- after another moment of hesitation, you take the map that he gave you and run towards the exit. for whatever reason, the vines and branches that are attacking everyone else don't aim your way as you leave, and the memory ends.
