Penelope Raban 6/24 near Apprassage

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.

Not at all?
Even if they were trying to kill you?

[crudest]

i'll be honest
i might have deserved it
depending
but we're probably different people

it might also depend on how close you are with this person

[mincingminuet]

Definitely.

This person is an old family friend. We're close.

[crudest]

then it makes even less sense
though i guess the closer the bond
the worse it is when it gets severed
especially on bad terms

i still wouldn't take the shit that you see on face value
we still don't know what they are
but if you're worried for you own safety i guess you can ask
just tread cautiously in case it actually triggers the same images for them

[mincingminuet]

I hadn't even thought of that.
It could trigger a memory.

Hell, do I even want to put them through that?
Feels wrong somehow.

[crudest]

you could look at it 2 ways
1. no one would want to remember wanting to kill a close family friend
2. they might want to know more info about who they ?? could've ?? been

do you think it's inevitable that they'll be like who you saw in your hallucination?

[mincingminuet]

I can't answer that question.

I don't have enough context or understanding of the memories to make that call. I was hoping other people might.

[crudest]

nope
there are some common threads
nothing concrete
but one thing is
people have claimed largely that they don't feel, at their core personality, too different from the images they see
even if i don't think that this shit defines people
it's something to keep in mind if you think someone hates you enough to kill you

[mincingminuet]

It is. And a big part of my worry is that.
I don't want to fight anyone.
I just can't shake this feeling that there's something big coming.

[crudest]

if you've got the feeling
i'd say follow it
and watch your own tail

[mincingminuet]

Don't say that, you may give Retrospec ideas about giving me a tail.

[crudest]

depends on the kind of tail
like is it a stinger
or does it just hang around
some animals can grab shit with their tails right
not a bad deal

[mincingminuet]

This is true.
But I don't want to have to fix my entire wardrobe or only wear skirts again.

[crudest]

you could probably find a nice tailor
i know some folks on retrospec
if that ever happens to you anyway
do i get first dibs on seeing
you know
to see if i'm a prophet and all

[mincingminuet]

Don't worry, I'll ping you first.
