So I'm sure there's plenty of moments where you guys have gone "what." at the hallucinomemories but bear with me for a sec here-

Anyone ever deal with something that when you looked it up just made barely any scrap of sense? Not even in the nonsense way, mind you. Like apparently I was called "Fafnir" in one of mine. As in (depending on where you take it from, shut up I had to look it up after finding out obviously) an asshole dragon or a giant. Either way, he gets smoked.

So running bet here is either:

1.) was the "other me" self-aware that he was a dick in some capacity?

or

2.) did he just pick the name out because it sounded cool?

Because if 1, then I can respect that; but if 2, then what the shit.

(David here just got his freebie regain in the form of remembering his mercenary codename, and in a sense of self-deprecation, I had to poke fun at myself for my choices. No regrets.)

I want to say it is for me too but who knows.

[ Call it a gut feeling or something. ]

[smothershadow]

And what makes you say that?

[negativism]

Instinct? it's nothing that's actually happened so far, but with what has, there's got to be some truth to it all. I dunno.

[smothershadow]

Perhaps it's merely wish fulfillment. I am certainly not thirty feet tall in anywhere but a few dreams.

[She's Tall, but not that tall.]

[negativism]

Maybe. Though I really would prefer not getting weapons pointed in my face in one case, made of fire or otherwise.

[smothershadow]

Are you certain? Perhaps you did something that warranted that. Even dreams have consequences.

[negativism]

In the dream, yeah - considering the only thing that was said to me was along the lines of "don't tell me I'm not worthy".

Here? Nothing that bad, I can promise that much.

Last month I held a weapon in my own two hands that not only burst into flames, but launched some kind of energy from its blade.

I wouldn't put that out of consideration.

[negativism]

I'm not going to, but I would've appreciated some sort of extra context or something.

[smothershadow]

Dreams are rarely so courteous.

Regardless of who they happen to.

[negativism]

True. And who knows, maybe something else will pop up that'll help make sense of this mess.

[smothershadow]

Is it wise, to wish for such clarification?

Perhaps such things are better left forgotten.

[negativism]

Maybe, but I'd think it's almost worse if I didn't end up at least trying to figure it out.

[smothershadow]

Ah, youthful enthusiasm. Soon you'll be throwing stones at beehives to see what happens next.

[negativism]

That's a lack of common sense, not "youthful enthusiasm".

Sorry for the wait!

[smothershadow]

You don't know what kind of bees they are. Perhaps they're stingless. Perhaps they're hornets.

You're young enough that you could easily outpace them if you wished.

no worries! i was gone the last couple days anyway

[negativism]

I'd rather not try knocking down nests with stones, bees, hornets or otherwise. I might be able to run, and I might not be allergic, but that doesn't mean someone else can't possibly get hurt from it either.

[smothershadow]

How altruistic of you.

[negativism]

Something I have to think of considering my job, that's all.
