01 - Who's Who

[deathboss]

So uh, I had this really scary memory come back to me, and I need help identifying either of these two...individuals. I drew them from memory so they might not be exactly like this...



The guy on the left is called Philemon. I saw him in a place that I can't quite remember but there was a checkerboard floor and Greek columns. His mask looks like it came from a bargain bin theater play. He said the place was a gulf between the conscious and the unconscious. Not sure why that would have a checkerboard floor, but there you go.

It's what he said that's got me confused. Something about the land of Sumaru being a netherworld where rumors are reality and we had to use our power to fight back. He called it Persona? Something like summoning the selves inside of you...angels and demons...breaking the chains of karma...sounded really important if the guy bothered to summon us for it...OH RIGHT! He was a golden butterfly before turning into a man.

...I promise this is a memory and not substance abuse by the way. Even ten cups of Coffee wouldn't give me that kind of freaky vision.

Anyway. I guess the monster on the right would be something from the netherworld? I don't know, that was my first memory before this one. Someone else was with me doing motorcycle noises to it for some reason...I don't think his 'Persona' was doing that...heck I don't even know what a "persona" is supposed to be. And with a bunch of people off somewhere, I figured asking everyone might be better than just bothering my bros...

Your help is greatly appreciated. If you know something about anything I just wrote, or just want to share your thoughts, I'll make it up to you if you can help me.

I didn't think the human body could withstand such punishment.

...you're human, right?

[floret]

To the best of my knowledge.

Also, it's kind of sweet that your idea of substance abuse is ten cups of coffee.

[deathboss]

Well first of all, coffee isn't my thing very much since I prefer cold drinks.

Second of all, I mean the three days up. Not just ten cups of coffee. Although now I'm not sure how I feel about what this implies...

[floret]

Iced coffee...

Oh, no, I know! I just meant, ten cups of coffee was your original example of substance abuse. In your post.

[deathboss]

OH!

[Now he feels dumb.]

Sorry. I guess that makes a lot more sense. Dunno why I was so angry about it for some reason...

[floret]

Oh lol
I didn't even notice you were angry so it's no big deal. Although I guess that means I should apologize for contributing to a misunderstanding that made you angry and not even realizing it...

[deathboss]

Nah, don't worry. Maybe it's some sort of memory I don't remember.

So how insane were the last hours of your 3 day all-nighter

[floret]

Honestly, it's sort of hard to remember the specifics. I remember thinking my cat knew my past and future.

[deathboss]

Maybe it was your mind trying to connect to your previous life?
Like maybe...you had a talking cat.

[floret]

You think? I didn't even have a past life yet then, though.

Or
Well
I guess I did, but I didn't know anything about it. I mean, I wasn't on Retrospec yet.
