The structure above was built in the 7th century BCE by two legendary architects, Trophonios and Agamedes. Is it:

A. The Palace of Knossos on Crete
B. The Temple of Apollo at Delphi
C. The Pillars of Hercules
D. The Colosseum of Rome

Trivia aside, color me curious: what's the most unusual place or thing you've seen thus far in your "hallucinomemories"? That you're willing to tell someone about, of course — I'm not seeking to pressure anyone into revealing secrets they wouldn't be willing to share with the class.

(Or, I suppose, if you're playing along with those bingo cards we were given and need to share something with a stranger, responding to something like this would certainly qualify, wouldn't it?)

Well, my streak on not knowing anything about Greek architecture continues, so I've got that going for me.

Ah.

No, I don't think so.
It was a modern city.
Just...at the bottom of the ocean.
notyourutopian: (Frustrated)

I haven't any idea, really. I'm not even sure how deep we were.
The buildings looked...like buildings. Neon signs, windows. Except they were sealed up?
There were tunnels between that were also sealed. Some of them leaked.
notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

Is it any more implausible than the people who suddenly have superpowers?
notyourutopian: (Harumph.)

And yet here we are.
