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.)

dragons are cooler than giants

and also

it could be both?

[anguinous]

Going by previous experience it is also possible you were a giant or a dragon. Either way, your current accommodation will prove inadequate if you start to change.

[ Although Laurent doesn't truly believe this, he's still in denial in many ways. ]

Dragons seem to be coming up a statistically suspicious number of times.

It sounds like a name a teenager would have decided on before researching the irony. Both seem plausible.

Its beginning to sound like a fair amount of us have some tie to dragons.

It really doesn't sound like a coincidence at this point.

why couldn't it have been that someone else named you
maybe they had an odd sense of humor

[burlyheart]

Fafnir is from German mythology. It's a part of where we get dragons hoarding treasure and being slain by knights.

Given that the hallucimemories usually don't line up with any specific story that we know of, it's more likely that your other is similar to Fafnir, at most.

Dragons are badass.

I used to go by the Dragon of Dojima in my memories, but I'm pretty sure it was just a reputation thing. Or because I had the kanji for dragon in my name.

I'd go with #2 anyway. Naming yourself after a dragon would be pretty cool.

dragon
for reasons
also
have you ever felt the need to call me a leech anytime at all
besides the other names

[gudaguda]

Do you not think Fafnir sounds cool?

I think it sounds cool

[reticence]

Fafnir is... Certainly quite the name.

[ what was that word... ]

The memories that really don't make sense to me are the ones I cannot look up, unfortunately.
