[ hero complex intensifies ]

[hjack69]

aight weve talked about the memollucinations ( im calling them flashbacks bc i never want to type memollucination ever again ) before so w/e about those

now i wanna hear from you folks that had new weird shit happen
im talking physical marks showing up out of nowhere
getting stuff from retrospec
the ability to make gravity your bitch ( or some other weird power thing i guess )

nothings happened to me personally outside of remembering stuff but people are starting to get hurt and im gonna make damn sure it doesnt end up a regular thing
you can share what you remember if you want it might trigger someone elses flashbacks

here i even made a survey

I've been going with 'hallucinomemories.' It rolls of the tongue and tests well with sample audiences.

[the sample audience is Dave.

also he is failing to fill out the survey??? sorry Jack. he hasn't yet decided if he's willing to put any of it Out There.]

[hjack69]

its the verbal equivalent of falling down stairs and im not about it
i will however take suggestions to call it something else granted that the new name is badass

[splinten]

Sometimes those stairs just need to be fallen down, bro. They might tell you about 'em, they might even warn you.
But the stairs are there, and you gotta go down.

[dirk strider, sbahj's #1 fan in every universe



well except one of them]

[darkinferno]

it might roll off the tongue but that's only because the rest of the mouth is having night terrors at the thought of having to say it that many times

let's find something shorter than seven syllables

it's lame, but "flash" might work

we don't know if they're flashbacks of memory or flashes of hallucination yet so

[shrugs????]

[alienates]

I'm not filling out the survey.
But I got a sickle in the mail?
At first I was weirded out because what kind of sick fuck just sends people weapons through the postal service?
But after thinking about it for a couple of days I have come to the conclusion that it is sweet as fuck.
Holy shit! Do you have any idea how fucking awesome sickles are?
What is even the point of literally any other type of stabby thing??
Fuck knives! You should be carving up your roast beef with a goddamn sickle.

[hjack69]

what seriously?
like
is it a familiar sickle or are you really good at using it for no reason or
i mean thats actually totally rad but just for posteritys sake

[tearable]

[ Is this physical mark a call out post to her??? Rude. ]

Do you believe people will so willingly fill out a public survey?

[hjack69]

well that was optional just in case somebody didnt know where to start
i notice you didnt fill it out either
i thought we were friends liz

[daemonized]

Taking the initiative, I see. Personally, I prefer "phantasmagoria". [By now, you probably realize that's a joke, because. Ardyn.]

Am I required to fill out this form? More importantly, someone's been injured?

[hjack69]

look the form isnt REQUIRED its just yknow something i thought would help but what do I KNOW
and yeah someones been
well its less a fresh injury and more something that showed up semi-healed?
i told them to talk to you if they wanted to

[parodeity]

assistant manager @ the flower shop also a student ig
my hallucinomemories make no goddamn sense
flashbacks is cool but it isnt needlessly complex enough honestly
we need to stick with the theme of all of this being way too damn complex

[hjack69]

etc etc falling down all these verbal stairs
afaik theres no real connection between anybodys occupations or ages or w/e except were all on this network thingadoo
the hms ( hallucinomemories ) are getting crazier and crazier tho

[voideity]

roxy strider
20
college babe
i got a mask nd fingerless gloves in the mail so im p sure i am at least a superhero
and maybe we all are bc thats a fun theory
even tho it doesnt fit the hallucinomemories lmao
also i prefer hallucinomemories to flashbacks cuz its fun to say
but both imply theyre like
memories
instead of just fuckin absurd so idk

[hjack69]

idk i like the idea that theyre memories from bullshit alternate universes where nothing makes any goddamn sense
bc like
that means diamond ponies and me being filthy rich and banging sexy clown women happened at some point and thats awesome
no superpowers to go with those new duds kid?
bc i mean at least one of us has superpowers now with that gravity guy struttin around on ceilings and crap

which is total ASS btw
some guy gets to give the laws of nature a kick in the ass and all i get is remembering having dumb sneakers and crap taste in pretzels??
bs

[chiseler]

here's my question. why are some people getting cooler stuff than other people? karkat's apparently getting sickles in the mail and all I got was some dumb necklace that looks homemade

[Way to not fill out the survey, Luke.]

[doublesmall]

the obvious answer is that those people are just cooler, in general

[hjack69]

right??
some people get weapons or dancing fruit or powers and all i get is admittedly frickin sweet memories of stuff that never happened
is the necklace even cool looking?

[doublesmall]

alright, if we're putting this shit in one place I may as well, not like people don't know now

Describe the weird crap you've had to deal with: theoretically 'making gravity my bitch', like you said

in practice it's still the other way around

but I did have one of those weird flashback things about it beforehand so, you know, if anyone has seen themselves doing some weird shit apparently it can actually happen to you.

[hjack69]

so im at risk of owning a diamond pony or dating clowns or being filthy rich
im surprisingly ok w this
hows the whole making gravity your bitch thing going anyway did you ever get the hang of it?
im assuming you arent in the stratosphere right now so thats progress

i can now bench 500 pounds, no strain no sweat, and probably way more but idk how to find that out since i broke one of my plates trying to figure out if someone was fuckn with me and i didnt have more than 500 lbs worth anyways.

[hjack69]

neway was it your castle?
i remember owning a train that uh
unfortunately blew up later on
and with all the weird crap ive seen you MIGHT actually be a princess in these weird memory things

[This entire post will leave feeling....odd. Something about this post was making her brain itch a little. There was something about it, but it was all in the tip of her tongue; leaving her feeling anxious.

That's why she'll simply allow her fingers to do the talking.]

Memollucinations is an interesting mix of two words, but too complicated to remember.
I agree with any ideas over shortening it to a more common or shorter term.
I saw "flash" being mention as a possible idea.

[Resonance was a word she wanted to suggest, but...]

All the other suggestions sound like titles to a physic theory instead.
What do you plan to do with the info you are gathering?
How will it help, exactly?

[Because it may just be affecting her a little.]

[hjack69]

considering ive publicly thrown my lot in with the striders im going with hms ( hallucinomemories ) but id be okay w flashes too
you got any other ideas?

and dont ya think its better to let people know theyre not alone if something happens to em?
we can pool this info for later reference if we need it but mostly i want folks to know there are places they can go to if they need help
