sanity chicken would be a good band name

[parodeity]

all right fuck it
i was trying to avoid being That Crazy Person
but clearly everyone else is doing really well at sanity chicken
all edging around the topic or not bringing it up
or possibly it not being an issue for the majority though i am PRETTY fucking sure i can confirm it happening for at least like
nearly ten people maybe i dont know
so im just going to commit to my role as the crazy conspiracy theory guy
get me a whiteboard and some string you all
im ready to mark it up
wave goodbye sadly to my good name and all that
watch it circle the drain as i dump it in the toilet and watch it flush away
so anyway here we go

raise your fucking hand if youve had a very vivid hallucination of some sort
that felt super real
since you got this app
about a thing you definitely never remember yourself doing
also if youre going to go dave you sound like youve lost it
at least link me something entertaining off the internet to add some spice to what is sure to be a pretty common response
it isnt like yo remember when horses were a thing makes any of us sound any less ridiculous
so
admittedly i guess i could sound crazier
theres like a scale here
shit i should make a scale ill do that later
anyway

raise your hands or dont
go

[ ooc: i literally never care about theadjacking so feel free if you want ]

[... more people?]

Dave, right?

We can speak after my shift, if you wish a little privacy. I think I might appreciate that. But, yes, I have experienced something of this sort. Have you met anyone who did not have this app yet, who experienced it? This seems as important a question to answer as any.

[Because, again, it was the only connection she knew.]

[parodeity]

sure
it isnt like i wont be around at some point due to the whole
working there thing so
and nah i dont know anyone w/o the app being involved in weirdness and knowing its weird

[true_noir]

Not to mention Valentine's Day is tomorrow, so it's pretty busy. I was afraid, however, that you were going to say that. It does seem like everything involves this app somehow. I had a vision of visiting Corsica, even though I'm sure I never left France before moving here.

Well, maybe crossed over into Spain once or twice, but that's it.

[parodeity]

google informs me thats an island so huh
weird ass
have you googled pics of the place to see if you like
visualized it proper or anything
?

[true_noir]

I saw old ruins, so I looked them up and found a town called Aleria. I didn't get any of the same images exactly, but it was so similar that it could have been the place. It's along the eastern coast of the city, and I definitely remember the sea.

I am pretty sure that the memories were right.

[parodeity]

so you correctly visualized a place youve never seen
well
thats
swell?

most of my shit seems ridiculous and absurd and doesnt seem to be anyplace super familiar or recognizable
so thats the first time ive heard of a situation like that
im not sure how to feel about it

[true_noir]

I would almost appreciate something ridiculous more than a vacation I don't remember taking. The cloak I was wearing was attractive, I suppose, though why I'd wear something that heavy in a place like Corsica is beyond me. Still, if it is ridiculous, then it could just be a dream.

But, are these dreams, really?

[parodeity]

you were wearing a cloak
didnt those go out of style in like the middle ages
why would you be wearing it at all

i kind of doubt it
but i dont know what i think they are
other than insane
and far too real to deal with

[true_noir]

They did. I usually see one like this only in renaissance festivals. I really have no idea why I would wear such a thing, because the sun was shining and there was no rain or chill.

I agree. They're far too real to just dismiss, and it is becoming troubling that we are having them more than once. I really want not to be going insane, and knowing I'm not alone helps. But, at the same time, it's like seeing myself through someone else's eyes. Maybe you could tell me about one of the less odd ones when we speak?

[parodeity]

maybe you were feeling extra dramatic

and sure ill tell you about uh
the least odd one
but i warn you all of them are odd so itll still seem weird
shrugs

[true_noir]

I do have what you call a drama queen in me, so perhaps it is so. I could at least believe it, if odd.

At this point, horses have become giant poultry. I will brace myself for something out of a painting by Escher, or the like. Nothing will surprise me.

[Yeah... she was probably bluffing there.]

[parodeity]

if we have to escher our way around town im rebelling
its already hard enough to get where you want to go if theres traffic

[true_noir]

It probably is best that the laws of physics at least can be trusted for the moment. Let us hope that it stays that way for the time being. I have enough to deal with as is.

[parodeity]

dont we all
what with like
an entire species change
wtf even is that still
@god whats your damage

[true_noir]

[It took a second to realize @God meant he was talking 'at God.' She had trouble once in a while. That made her laugh sadly. She could forgive a little blasphemous humor. She was damned near going and talking the priest at times.]

Chickens, Bracelets, Weird App with companies that don't exist, visions, and probably more. I doubt that it's over, at this point. I really do.

[parodeity]

the building
the retrospec building in tisse
it locks you in if you go there

[true_noir]

Yes, I noticed. It's where I had my vision, after all. Without explanation, it was as if I were given a travel voucher to convince me to go to Corsica, directly in my mind.

Disturbing, along with the fact that I was locked into a room with only a few decorations, chairs, and an elevator that does not work. Almost as if they have an office just because they are expected to, to keep us quiet.

I am starting to sound like Ryoga, am I not?

[parodeity]

i honestly couldnt tell you since ive talked to that dude all of 1 time

my bro pried open the elevator panel
theres like nothing in there

[true_noir]

Friendly sort, but a little goes a long way. He and one other seem to have a fascination for conspiracies that is a bit infectious, though the other is worse.

Wait, as in it is simply an elevator door in front of a wall? Why would someone do something like that? The desk and chairs and a phone for appearances, yes. I could understand this, but why an elevator?

[parodeity]

yeah well
this is the kind of environment where a conspiracy theorist may not be all wrong

no as in like
the panel with the buttons on the outside
has no wires
so theres no way to call it down

[true_noir]

I am worried that you are correct in that. So, perhaps we will all sound like them soon.

That is just as bad as there being nothing behind the doors. Either way, it is just an elevator door to appear that there is an elevator. It is as ridiculous as a bird that people should ride on taking the place of a horse.

[parodeity]

that makes me a trendsetter doesnt it

basically
i really dont get any of this honestly but at least talking about it makes me feel less like a headcase

[true_noir]

It would seem so, at least to some extent. And we do seem to be 'in the same boat,' as it were. None of this makes sense, but not being alone dealing with it is much better than the alternative. Eventually, maybe many heads will be better than one.

[parodeity]

aw shit
smells like team spirit up in here
is this where we break into a song and dance number

[true_noir]

[She was taking time to understand this sense of humor. It wasn't easy, because it wasn't how she usually spoke or thought. But, talking to May helped.]

Is this where I should fetch my fancy shoes? I could do that, though I should warn that I am a very good dancer.

[well, she tried anyway.]
