[ohrlyeh]

Hahaha.

[Well, that's not a sound to ever expect to hear out of Howard. He's a very morose individual, and his deep voice is not helping with making that low laugh sound less unsettling.]

[...Why is he even making a voice post in the first place? He's not one to do that unless something isn't right.]

Lovecraft. I've been thinking about that. Like my name, not that stupid author.. My name isn't...it isn't Lovecraft, but like, my other self. That past person, he's named Lovecraft. [Another laugh. He sounds completely loopy, speaking slowly as if he's only just catching up with the thoughts in his head.] I don't know if it's like because he was...an octopus? Half octopus? Someone called me Cthulhu once when I told him what Lovecraft was. Just...the irony of that. Cthulhu walking around, calling himself after the man who-who made him. That idiot.

[There's a whistle, then a smack of the lips.]

I wonder if other people's past life names have to do with what they used to be. Maybe there's someone out there...there, who, uh, is also named something ironic. Like, if you were a dog person in your past life, and that person was named Lassie...kinda like that. So I guess I just, erm, made this post. To ask what other people were named. If you know it...

[There's the sound of something falling off a table. Howard lets out a very strange noise that sounds like his attempt at a giggle. It honestly sounds more like a crow being choked.]

Haha.

[A long pause.]

This sucks.

[Thanks, Gamzee. THANKS.]

Howard-san? Are you feeling all right?

[ohrlyeh]

Mmm. Never felt better, Atsushi.

[Not really lying?? He doesn't know how to really feel about this.]

[beneathmoonlight]

But you sound...different. I’ve never heard you laugh like that before.

[ considering malik has talked to howard all of one (1) time, the laughter isn't as disconcerting as it should be. especially not when there is the golden opportunity to stroke his own ego ]

My name is the same. It's Malik, and it means king... Given all my adornments and past loyal subjects, I think it's appropriate.

[ohrlyeh]

Your name's the same? How about that...

["King". He lets out a slight wheeze.]

I don't know, were you a king in your past life?

[coinflipped]

I'm starting to feel better about who my past self was now. Thanks.

[ohrlyeh]

Oh, are you? That's nice. What was his name...?

[vitis]

Was Lovecraft that bad an author? —Stupid, that is, I guess. Dunno, he wasn't exactly freshman high school reading material, as far as those classes went.

[ but wow. howard sure is feeling. giggley today, huh. ]

How're you doin' over there, buddy?

[ohrlyeh]

I don't know. I find he just drags on and on and on and like...sometimes I want to tell him to shut up. It's too much.

[He lets out a slight groan.]

I'm doing just peachy. ["Peachy"???] I'm doing great. Life's never been better.

[ without understanding the context ... for this strange behavior, and these odd noises... Jamie cannot help but wonder if Howard is currently dissolving into squids ]

Uh...
I do, actually. I remembered it pretty early on. "Hanatarou Yamada."
It's like, kind of generic but also kind of weird...

[ohrlyeh]

That sounds like a good name. I guess. Does it mean anything? A friend of mine...

[There's a long pause.]

Uh. Right. A friend of mine, she said that sometimes names like that have...extra meanings.

[vendettastool]

Why would it be idiotic of him? Wouldn't it be more like irony or sarcasm? Or maybe it was a joke to use the name of author given what he was?

[ohrlyeh]

Maybe? I don't know. But it's kind of like...on the nose. It's too much. It's screaming "I'm a big squid". It's...just bad.

[ where is everyone getting these drugs from???! akutagawa doesn't want any in particular, he is just...so curious... also, he refrains from mentioning his namesake for now, ryuunosuke akutagawa is just Too Much. ]

You're high, aren't you? I assumed drunk at first, but drunk people tend to be more cheerful and entertaining.

[ his tone is disgusted. judgmental. disapproving. just...so very mean. where are this man's friends to take his phone or computer away while he's like this?!?! ]

You just sound sad.

[ohrlyeh]

High? No. I'm on the ground. That's like the opposite of high.

[HIS FIRST IMPRESSION WITH THIS MAN AND HE'S HIGH OFF A PIE. THIS IS THE WORST.]

[Not that he realizes how many social fallacies he's breaking but...he'll regret this whole thing later.]

I'm always sad. Actually I feel not really sad right now? Which is nice. I think I forgot how to feel happy.

[me_matey]

idk why the other me was named may but hey

u alone right now?

[ohrlyeh]

Oh, you had the same name. Huh.

And yes, it's just me. And these tentacles. They...they say hi.

Kasen, as in my name, comes from the 36 Immortals of Poetry. It was a name bestowed out of irony, considering I was used to murder 36 innocent servants.

[ohrlyeh]

That is ironic. Wow. Like...the guy wrote thirty six poetry things or whatever. And also killed thirty six people. That's so on the nose that an English teacher would comment on how ironic it is.

[idolworship]

You certainly sound a lot better than when we last spoke.

[ohrlyeh]

I'm feeling a lot better than we last spoke, for sure. At least, I think I feel better.

Altas emociones, ‘mano. I need to stick my name in Google Tradutor and see what happens. Feelin’ better?

[ohrlyeh]

[YOU DID THIS!! YOU GOT CTHULHU HIGH! CTHULHU.]

I'm feeling really better. That pie you gave me...

[He whistles, like he's impressed.]

I've never felt like this. And yeah, you do that. Translating thing. That.

[toobigtohandle]

Well, my other self is named 'Taroutachi', which basically means 'very big long sword', which is what I am exactly.

Not very creative, as far as sword names go.

[ohrlyeh]

Wait.

Waaaaait.

[A very long pause.]

You're a sword, too? What the hell. How many of you are out there?
