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 ]

you know if this is you not following me i'm almost afraid to see what happens when you REALLY decide to stalk someone

[twelfthspark]

But you're not disagreeing with me.

[darkinferno]

not really worth it

it's not like i came up with it on my own so it doesn't matter to me if you think it's kiddie-goth aesthetic

[SHRUGS LOUDLY]

[twelfthspark]

[And suddenly, the knowledge is there. Like it always had been.]

You didn't even get it right. What's with the tail?

[darkinferno]

what are you talking about? they have tails

their tails are bladed like the swords

[twelfthspark]

Um, no. Definitely not. And it should have really wild hair.

[darkinferno]

look if you don't like my drawing why don't you try and do better

[twelfthspark]

[did she really print it out and take a sharpie to it

and then send a picture of that

she sure did, I just couldn't go all the way because my RL printer isn't working]

[darkinferno]

[Dante frowns... he could swear he remembers the tail, whipping out from behind its back with sharp blades that could slice through flesh like it was nothing... he knows it carried a sword, would plunge it into the ground and dissolve into some gaseous form of energy that might encircle its victim waiting for the right moment...

But the wiry hair she's added to his drawing makes sense too, replacing the horns and the sharp juts from the face. If he closes his eyes, he can remember darksides like that, hulking forms moving slowly but surely through the darkness. Slower than the ones with the swords and horns, but no less dangerous.

Are they different?]

i remember those

but i remember ones with the swords and tails too

[Are the two of them remembering the same things?

Are their hallucinations somehow related?]

arlene. tell me what else you've remembered

i want to try something

[twelfthspark]

[She can do the math as well as he can. She had no business recognizing that picture--yet she did. The other thing Ardyn was describing doesn't add up with what she "remembers," but then Dante backed her up...

Either he's fucking with her, which isn't that unlikely, or something really weird is going on. In a few comments, he's gone from "too far up his own ass to be interesting" to investigation priority #1.]

IDK if remembered is the right word, it was in a dream

But there was a castle? White, spiky, loads of towers. It was definitely floating.

regain get!

[darkinferno]

[He remembers it. He remembers leaving through the castle's doors, looking back over his shoulder and seeing the castle and its strange green roofs. And a feeling of... determination as he did so, though he's not sure why.]

castle oblivion

[twelfthspark]

What? No. That's somewhere else.

[She's absolutely certain, and there is absolutely no reason she should be. But when she shuts her eyes... the name conjures up a dark, crooked place, and it looks almost nothing like her dream.

This is rapidly becoming less and less funny.]

[darkinferno]

"that's somewhere else"?

but you DO recognize the name

[Still, he knows he's remembering this right. Remembering? Is that even the right word? But he can see the castle's exterior as clearly as though he'd been there yesterday, the path leading up to its doors and the chasm dropping off to either side. The castle itself, appearing to float at the end of the path.]

this is getting weird and i'm not so sure i'm a fan

[twelfthspark]

Of course I recognize it

[She taps "send" before she has a chance to reflect on why.]

If it bugs you that much you can stop anytime.

[darkinferno]

i know that but i also want to know what the hell is going on, too

i think it's safe to say that we're both "remembering" the same stuff though

[twelfthspark]

Yeah

Which just raises a lot more questions...

[darkinferno]

you're telling me

if i get any more, i'll let you know. maybe between the two of us we can put some of this together

[The two of them can work together. For now.]
