The structure above was built in the 7th century BCE by two legendary architects, Trophonios and Agamedes. Is it: A. The Palace of Knossos on Crete B. The Temple of Apollo at Delphi C. The Pillars of Hercules D. The Colosseum of Rome Trivia aside, color me curious: what's the most unusual place or thing you've seen thus far in your "hallucinomemories"? That you're willing to tell someone about, of course — I'm not seeking to pressure anyone into revealing secrets they wouldn't be willing to share with the class. (Or, I suppose, if you're playing along with those bingo cards we were given and need to share something with a stranger, responding to something like this would certainly qualify, wouldn't it?)

Can't say I've heard of the Palace of Knossos, but I've definitely seen a picture of those pillars in a history book at some point, so I'm going to guess B.

I'm probably interpreting 'unusual' in a different manner than you, but Other-Me is a cop and he had the unfortunate duty of investigating the murder of a woman he'd only recently met. So, murder scene.

[doitrockapella]

A guess that's served you well; that is indeed the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

...How exactly did Other-You end up with a job like that, can you recall? Wouldn't there be some sort of conflict of interest?

rofl correct account this time

[thisloveisjustice]

If they had been close friends or otherwise more connected, perhaps. But he'd only met her about two days before, and he was already hunting for the serial killer who murdered her.

[doitrockapella]

I see. So she was the unfortunate subsequent victim of a criminal investigation that was already ongoing.

Who was she? Do you recall anything about her?

[thisloveisjustice]

Pretty much.

She was a hostess at a place called Club Mermaid in Shinjuku. He met her when he and the other officers on the case canvased her workplace.

[doitrockapella]

I see. That must be quite the adventure to remember, to say the least.

[thisloveisjustice]

In away. You can learn a lot about a person from watching them work. And from a professional standpoint, it was a rather interesting case to observe. We don't exactly get many serial killers in Recolle.

[doitrockapella]

A fact we should all be grateful for, I would think.

...You're saying you found your other self interesting, I hope, and not the serial killer.

[thisloveisjustice]

Yes, my other self. I learned some new things about him.
