[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.

Wait, for real?

...What do you know about Bastogne in Belgium?

[prometheanflame]

In context of World War 2? That is the location of the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, I believe. A German siege on the town was ultimately ended by American forces.

Do you remember experiencing the event?

[frostythehitman]

Not the battle. It was after, by a couple weeks I think. It's one of the only places I remember by name from the war.

It's also where we fought a bunch of Nazi vampires.

[prometheanflame]

[Isn't it great that Mohammed isn't from Part 2 and would not receive a bizarre memory from this conversation?]

I fought a sentient puddle, why am I confounded by this?

[frostythehitman]

A sentient puddle?

I can't tell if that's weirder than Nazi vampires or not.

[prometheanflame]

I could see something resembling vampirism through ethically dubious experiments (if it were even possible) but I can't think of any way the same could be true of water unless magic was involved.

To be fair, I also have memories of pyrokinesis.

[frostythehitman]

Pyrokinesis, huh?

Do you mean you remember throwing fire around yourself, or were you just watching someone else do it?

[prometheanflame]

I was setting things on fire, both as a child and in a fight. I'm certain that was all me.

[He was using fire in a fight against water, but that's dumb and he doesn't want to talk about it.]

[frostythehitman]

Alright, so how much did "all you" end up destroying with the flames?

[prometheanflame]

As a child, I set part of a stick on fire, but I could control how much. I'm not sure the extent of my abilities in the later memory, but those flames were far more powerful. I wonder how I manged to survive without serious burns.

[frostythehitman]

[ Boy this sure is sounding kind of familiar!

Oh, because he's just remembered something brand new again. Okay. ]

Sounds like it might've been part of the pyrokinesis.

Apparently two of the guys on my team in the war could set themselves on fire whenever they wanted and they never got hurt or burned from it.

[prometheanflame]

I believe there is clothing one can wear to reduce burns, but are you saying they set themselves on fire in a mundane matter or is this also pyrokinesis?

[frostythehitman]

Definitely pyrokinesis. One second they're just normal guys (except one was always in a speedo for some reason), and the next they're both engulfed in flames and flying around.

[prometheanflame]

What kind of military operation allows a man to wear a Speedo in combat?

[frostythehitman]

Two men in speedos. One was my age, the other was some elf jerk.

But I'm guessing the kind of military operation that puts a kid in spandex and has two walking, talking fireballs on it.

[prometheanflame]

How can that even exist?
I was wearing robes and I was using fire in my visions.

[frostythehitman]

I don't know, the other fire guy was wearing normal clothes just fine.

*spandex

I think most of us wore spandex, actually.

I don't know why the elf guy wore a speedo.
