spooky scary skeletons

So, a lot of people are talking about the different kinds of ...visions they're getting lately. It's kinda comforting, in a way, that so many people have gotten weird shit or seen weird shit... So, I guess I'll just come out with it: has anyone had any sort of visions relating to, um... ghosts? Like, ghosts of people, not necessarily uh... polter...geists or anything like that. I figure it shouldn't be that strange to bring up if everyone else is in the same boat, right? The sort of things that I've seen are ... troubling. Do all of you believe what you see or do you think it's just a way to mess with our heads?

contacting your fellow ex-channelers?

from all the crazy memories people are mentioning and changes to the world happening, it's hard not to believe it. but i guess if you get a horrible memory, it might be better to think it's all in your mind.

do you want to deny the visions? not that i'm saying they're all true. if they can eradicate the world of blue and green, i'm sure they can make this shit up.

[loudmouths]

...i... i guess. i don't know. what i've seen sort of suggests that kind of thing, but

denying it seems to be my instinct. it's like ... in those visions, i was uncomfortable. it felt like i wanted to leave, sort of? but all the same, it felt like a dull sort of acceptance, too...

there were other, more troubling things, but that's the gist of it

have you had any that were like that?

[botamochi]

i heard denial is the first step to acceptance.

if you were comfortable around ghosts, even in these visions, i would be a tad bit concerned. it's really hard to say until you get more memories, but from what i've heard it's hard to deny the cold hard truth when it hits you.

i had one where it was just a vision of fighting a monster. that's it. fucking creepy if you ask me.

[loudmouths]

is that really how that goes???

ah you're right, though, it'd be weird to be comfortable around ... death, basically.... i really hope any other visions i get won't skew that way. i don't think i could handle it if they did

...oh i've... had one like that, sort of. there wasn't any fighting yet, but... i was holding a sword... i dont like thinking about that one

here we go

[toushiro]

Hard to say that they're completely false when some of us are actually learning new skills with these...memories we're getting.

rubs hands together

[loudmouths]

"skills?" what kinda skills, exactly?

[toushiro]

I suddenly knew how to sword fight.

[loudmouths]

...swords, huh

that's... funny, kinda. i mean, not literally funny, but i've gotten visions about using a sword, too...

I don't know the first thing about using one, though. i've never even taken a kendo class before...

[originallutece]

What do you mean by ghosts, precisely?

[loudmouths]

um, yknow... ghosts? the souls of the deceased?

in my vision, i was... interacting with some.

[originallutece]

Works of fiction have portrayed ghosts in any number of ways. I'd appreciate a more detailed description. But that being said . . . how precisely were you interacting? Simply speaking to them, or using some kind of superpower?

[loudmouths]

oh... well, uh. sorry in advance, this will probably be kinda long

basically, they looked like regular people? hard to tell on first glance that they were ghosts, but then it was like... someone changed the opacity on them, yknow? from maybe their torso down, it was like they were fading out, if that makes sense... some of them... had injuries, it looked like. maybe... whatever killed them, i'm assuming. it wasn't really pleasant

um but ... i wasn't usin any kind of superpower, i don't think? or if i was, it wasn't anything i activated, as far as i could tell. it was like the first time i saw them, or something. i was pretty freaked out in the vision

i don't remember if i was talking to any of them. i remember feeling scared, though

[matchbreaker]

Wait, ghosts can exist in people's visions?

[loudmouths]

eh?? well... i guess? they were in... a few of mine

[matchbreaker]

Golly! Superheroes and ghosts?! and bats! There's really everything, isn't there? Maybe even haunted things.. Actually sure, tell me about your ghosts!

[loudmouths]

uum you're pretty excited about this, huh...

well, just looking at them it would be hard to tell they were ghosts... but in the vision, i got closer to them and noticed that pretty much everything from their torso down was liek... fading out?? if that makes sense

some had injuries, too. i assume it was whatever killed them maybe??? it was hard to tell since the vision wasn't especially long.

then there were... other types. i actually don't know if calling them "ghosts" is right... but somehow in the visions, i knew they weren't human at the very least... or it seemed that way

[wordcarvings]

I wonder if that might be what some of the things I've seen might be. There was certainly a bit of an otherworldly feeling to some.

And I have no idea what I am supposed to believe. It feels so real, yet some of it is just so absurd. The situation with the visions themselves are already absurd enough,
too.

[loudmouths]

really? what kind of stuff did you see?

i feel that way, too, though. it felt incredibly real, but it was ridiculous. no one can see ghosts...

[ note that he's not denying they exist... oops. ]

[wordcarvings]

Some very odd creatures, for example.

Ridiculous or not, or being possible to see ghosts or not, the sensation of reality probably might not be ignored that easily.

[ He sure can’t ignore it. ]

[youraffection]

everything ok?

[ Because he knows about these things but mostly he just wants to make sure you're okay, cuz... ]

[loudmouths]

uh

sort... of? there's a lot i've been... dwelling on.

CONSIDER HIS A DIRECT MESSAGE RATHER THAN A COMMENT

[youraffection]

u wanna talk about it?

[livingdeadgirl]

yeah actually I remember hanging out with a ghost friend!
what was going on in your vision?

[loudmouths]

what?? really?!

uh, well i had a few of them! one was just... me walking around a city, i think? and seeing a ghost... and the others... well, i'm not sure if they were ghosts, but something told me they weren't human, at the very least

[livingdeadgirl]

hmm so some other form of supernatural being I take it?
or more like aliens?
