[ 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

Name: Age: Occupation: Describe the weird crap you've had to deal with:

ya welc

absolutely not i am a responsible adult and a functioning member of society and i would NEVER hand over such clandestine information

i mean that would be bad

[alienates]

I am going to put out a possible scenario for you.
Let's say that I am walking home after my shift from work. My shifts are pretty late, btw, so it's pretty dark out when I get out.
And as I am an amazing worker, I would not think of bringing a sickle to the premises of my place of employment.
But then I get jumped by the... fuck I don't know, the mob or something.
Random gangster #4646 or just some hobo who really wants coke. I don't know. Their backstory is unimportant.
If I had known how to make a shank out of newspaper then MAYBE I could have defended myself.
Yet some people decided I didn't need to know so instead I fucking die.
Can you live with my death on your shoulders?

[hjack69]

ok one backstory is SO important
does random gangster #4646 have a family to feed??
is the coked out hobo actually a vietnam vet??
also coke doesnt necessarily put you in a stabbin mood and if hes a hobo i doubt he has the budget for a frickin coke habit anyway
nah hes probably drunk
which means you oughta be able to dodge him no prob
with the gangster the thing is you gotta throw em off their guard and assert dominance any way you can, even if it involves acting fucking terrifyingly crazy
90% of the time theyre just dumbass brats who spook easy and dont want to deal with a difficult mark
i mean the other 10% youre super dead but hey personally i like those odds

[alienates]

You raise very good points once again.
Also questions, but I am just going to shove those aside for the time being and instead focus on the matter at hand here.
We will go back to those other ones though in time.
Also wouldn't it be easier to act crazy if they saw me with a newspaper shank?
So we just went around in a circle that just lead back to why you need to show me how this is done because holy fuck I am really curious now.

[hjack69]

i mean screaming and waving your arms around like noodles always worked for me?
thats what i did before i bought a knife
makes people think you know kung fu
anyway howre they gonna know its a shank?
those things are kinda like the predator of the knife world you dont even see them coming

but no i will DEFINITELY ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVER show you how to make a knife out of newspaper that would just be
man thatd be pretty irresponsible of me huh
even if you show up around my class sometime and ask in person im not doing it kemosabe

[alienates]

I am not a shank expert I don't know all the inner workings and etiquette of the shanking world.
Also wouldn't screaming like that just make you look stupid??
I know that's the point but still.

But alright.
I will definitely not go to that campus with the intention of asking you to teach me how to make a shank.
That is a thing that I have zero plans on doing so we are both on the same page here. Got it.

[hjack69]

well considering where i lived as a kid the only alternatives were throwing rocks rattlesnakes or THE WORD OF THE LORD at people instead
noodle arms was all i had

and thats good bc i dont know ANY other cool stuff either like at ALL
nothing useful for a young go getter like yourself since you flatter me and i like you for that

[alienates]

While I would take the rattlesnakes over the Bible fuckers, I see your point.
Noodle arms does seem like a better alternative even if you are more likely to get stabbed in that one.

I am so very disappointed by this turn of events and that I am going to get absolutely nothing from this conversation.
Thank you for being such a good adult figure, man.
