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 ]

did they wear clown costumes

[daemonized]

[...conversation about weird memories officially derailed, in a manner of speaking.]

Certainly not! Though perhaps that would have made them far more intimidating in a coulrophobia-inducing manner.

Or was this a trick question?

[because wat.]

[parodeity]

no
i was just like
checking
...
are you 100% sure
they werent like wearing colorful jester costumes

[daemonized]

[There's an actual delay here, because now you're making Ardyn actually think about this??]

I am positively, absolutely certain. There were no jester costumes, no bright colors, and no royal court to entertain.

Are you all right?

[parodeity]

yeah peachy keen
just thinking about clowny ogres and shit
whats the medium sized one

[daemonized]

Is there any particular reason /why/ you're thinking about "clowny ogres"?

[Did Ardyn just... trigger something for you]

A floating, round purple mass of electricity. A jack-o-lantern smile plastered on its face, and when it explodes, it leaves smaller versions of itself in its wake. I believe that one is called the Thunder Bomb.

And no, it doesn't dress like a clown, either.

[parodeity]

because i can picture those
your description was pretty spot fucking on
just
missing the fashion choices

not getting anything from your thunder bomb tho
hit me with your third shot bro

[daemonized]

A tonberry. A small, green, hooded creature that carries a kitchen knife and a lantern to guide it in the night. It waddles when it moves.

[An attachment is sent, a doodle drawn hastily on a notepad, when he had this conversation with Aranea not all that long ago.]

Anything?

[parodeity]

no nothing with that one
so just the first one gave me a thing
not sure why the fuck
but at least it followed the rule of "sort of like what you said ig"
so its not
completely random
beyond the fact its completely random
what the shit

[daemonized]

It is vaguely related, if not a bit more comical than what my mind decided to throw at me. But if this most recent example is any indication, it appears there has to be some correlation for them to happen.

Or, I would say that, if not for the fact that I don't know what possibly could have triggered mine.

Anything else about these jester-giants other than the fact that you "saw" them in your head?

[parodeity]

they were hulking obsidian giants with bad fashion sense
i get the feeling you were supposed to stab them
nothing specific tho

welp
guess im well on my way to a degree in freakonomics
since my conspiracy theories arent totally conspiracy

[daemonized]

And since when is it a good idea to stab a towering, jester-clad giant? What a strange impulse to feel.

If it's not conspiracy, then we're merely treading closer to the edge of the truth. Isn't that exciting?

[Also disturbing.]

[parodeity]

idk probably when they started being monstrous and presumably aggressive?

also
sure it is
but i deserve like a diploma for all my effort im putting in here at this rate honestly

[twelfthspark]

You sure that's what they were called?

[daemonized]

[not this again]

Have you come to tell me otherwise?

[twelfthspark]

Maybe? I think I remember something like that but it was definitely called a "darkball".

[daemonized]

Did it explode in waves of purple electricity?

[twelfthspark]

I think it was more into using claws actually.

[darkinferno]

teeth

it didn't have claws, so it used its teeth to bite

[twelfthspark]

Now who's the stalker?

[daemonized]

Then very decidedly not the same as what I was describing.

Monsters seem to be a popular subject among us Retrospec users, it appears. I do wonder why.

[darkinferno]

arlene's right in this case

they were definitely called darkballs

[Thanks for that, Arlene.]

[daemonized]

[everyone. stop reading his messages. you're gonna remember the whole KH bestiary at this rate]

Are you going to send me another drawing? I'll be disappointed if you don't.

i'm not even apologizing for this

[darkinferno]

yells you should be

[daemonized]

What a shame that your monsters also seem to be very vulgar. At least my Thunder Bomb smiles.
