[text] there's so many generic pop punk angst lyrics i could use for this tbh

I'm taking a poll here, because I have no idea what to make of all these hallucinomemories.

Is anyone else remembering stuff from actual history? As in, straight out of the textbooks. I wasn't sure of it until I got my history final back, but there's a few questions on there that I didn't know the answer to and had to guess on, based on what I remembered. And I got them all right.

And if anyone else is remembering real history: are all of your hallucinomemories real? Because I'm pretty sure mine are a mix of real history and a bunch of crap they threw in just to mess with me.

Sounds about right. I've only got some of the context--and even when I do it still doesn't make sense. Some of what I remember actually matches the wiki articles and everything, and then some of it is straight out of a crappy B movie.

Are you saying you actually remember chocobos? Like, not from when they replaced all the horses?

[belligerentwarrior]

b movie, huh? at least my look like they fell out of some blockbuster thing. except for the fishman.

that's the only conclusion i've come to. they look different here, though. smaller and more domestic-like, but not having them feels just as weird to me as not having the horses.

[frostythehitman]

Wait--so you remember chocobos, but not even the same kind of chocobos?

So then what the hell are the ones we've got running around?

[belligerentwarrior]

beats me. only ideas i've come across is maybe they're a different breed. it's be great to know where the ones i saw came from, but figuring this whole mess out can't be that easy, can it?

[frostythehitman]

Of course not. Then we'd have an idea of what's actually going on around here.

So you know anything in particular about chocobos? Like how to ride them?

[belligerentwarrior]

not really know as much as i remember doing it, if that makes any sense. remember them really liking some kind of greens and living on some kind of plain. i remember know they have a mean kick.

[frostythehitman]

So you pissed off a chocobo and got your ass kicked by one.

Well, good to know, in case I ever need to go chocobo wrangling, or whatever it is you do with those things.

[belligerentwarrior]

so everything seems to point to. wish you could see the talons on the ones i remember.

who knows? i'd say it sounds unlikely, but luck seems to be fickle of late, yeah?

[frostythehitman]

Damn, they have talons too? How sharp? Did you get scratched up by one?

[belligerentwarrior]

don't remember getting scratched up. give me a minute. my roommate made a sketch of what i described a while ago, let me see if i can find it

[belligerentwarrior]

[Pretend this is a sketch of the one on the right.]

[frostythehitman]

Holy crap, those aren't talons, those are knives on feet.

Do all chocobo have that, or just the ones you remember? Do I have to start watching out to make sure a chocobo doesn't slit my throat in my sleep?

[belligerentwarrior]

hell if i know, i'm not a chocobo expert. that's just what i remember seeing, not those... scrawny little things in the parade.

maybe you should get yourself a chocobo riding class. learn how to handle the sweethearts just in case there's a throat-slitting uprising one day.

[frostythehitman]

Not a half-bad idea. Worst comes to worst, it means I could always lead the anti-Retrospec rebellion on chocobo-back. Lead a whole batallion of chocobos into the Retrospec building and make them slit their throats.

[belligerentwarrior]

farther than i would've taken it, but you know what? you do you.

[frostythehitman]

So what? A guy can dream, can't he?

[belligerentwarrior]

apparently. i'm no psych. i won't judge.

[frostythehitman]

Look, after all the crap Retrospec's thrown at us, I think I'm entitled to a little fantasy here and there. It's called "escapism."

[belligerentwarrior]

didn't i just tell you i wouldn't judge? no need to be so defensive.

[frostythehitman]

Who said anything about defensive? I'm just making a point.

[ He almost added "You're the one being defensive here" but then he thought that would, in fact, be a little too defensive. ]
