Hello everyone, I've got a question for everyone. This is something I've been thinking about for a few weeks now, and I'd like to get your opinions on it, as well as possibly some advice. I know a lot of us have been having those wild hallucinomemories lately, and whoever came up with that word is brilliant. And I know a lot of us have been struggling with them because some of them are outright terrifying. What I want to know is if you saw someone that you knew in your hallucinomemories doing something that scared you, or made you afraid, would that affect how you view them here in Recolle? Is this who they were, who they are, or who they will be again, basically. I know that's a pretty weird question, but I'm not really sure how I feel and it got pretty real for me recently. Any thoughts are appreciated, seriously. Cheers, Pen.

Fair question. Would you believe dead even?

My hallucinomemories have been pretty spot on about a lot of stuff so far. Saved me a lot of trouble. Maybe even my life.

hold your horses
how do those SAVE YOUR LIFE?
i'd say they're nothing but a pain in the ass

[mincingminuet]

Suddenly remembering how to use a weapon when you're in danger of being eaten by a giant possum is now.

[rebellions]

oh
yeah i guess that's practical

still that's kinda different right?
there might be a difference between who they are now and who they... were or however the hallumumbojumbo is supposed to work
i for one wouldn't say i'm the same guy that i saw there

[Mostly because he'd like to believe he wouldn't actually murder anyone.]

[mincingminuet]

There's definitely a difference, in that the worlds are nothing alike, but that's heading towards a nature vs nurture argument and behavioral science hasn't really sorted that out yet.

I guess I'm just being cautious.

[rebellions]

and overthinking it probably

... but i'm guessing they must've really pissed in your cereal if it bothers you that much
you'll probably keep thinking about that around them, so avoid them if possible?

[mincingminuet]

Yeah. That's good enough advice I guess.

I'm going to give it a few days, then contact them unless they see this and figure it out.

[rebellions]

... isn't it kinda dumb to ask that in the place where they can see it

[mincingminuet]

I want them to see it and come talk. That's half the point.

[rebellions]

right. of course. that makes sense.

like hell it does! i thought you're asking because you don't wanna confront them! why not just ask them directly if you're gonna talk to them in the end anyway?

[mincingminuet]

It's unavoidable that we talk about it now, because of this. This post makes sure that I can't run away anymore. Think of it as Cortez burning his ships.

Also I made it because I'd actually want other people's thoughts as well.

[rebellions]

who?

[Somebody wasn't paying attention in school.]

but fine, i get it. you think you'd chicken outta it so you're leaving yourself no choice

seems kinda dumb to me but hey, whatever works for you

[mincingminuet]

Hernan Cortez? Spanish explorer who burned his ships so he couldn't leave after landing in Mexico.

And thanks, I appreciate and care so much that you think I'm being dumb. I know me, and you don't.
