these are not my beautiful friends / those are not my beautiful abs

Jinjing Sawyl Longwei shared photos. 09/14 near Viera Village

two questions: who are the cosplayers or their characters in the first photo I got in the mail. anyone recognize them? second question: who the fuck photoshopped Vera and I into the second picture? I am way more buff than that, and she is way shorter, so you'll want to work on that. also her hair color's wrong.

[ OOC: higher res of the first image here! anyone seeing Yin around town or at her various jobs will notice that despite her aloof tone, she's actually quite unsettled and jumpy. she cannot shake the notion that the woman in the first photo bears a striking resemblance to that image of a younger version of herself. open to action too if you wanna PM me to set up a log or something I'll do it! ]

you're serious
this isn't like some kind of high school photo of yours
that someone got a copy of and edited?

[heiroglyphs]

Idk I'm not a photoshop expert.
Do you have any idea how many pictures of me exist out there?
But the other two girls in that picture.
I'm pretty sure I've seen them in a dream.

[longwei2go]

I have an idea
tell me about them

[heiroglyphs]

I don't remember much. It was pretty quick.
The girl in red had a huge scythe. Like bigger than she was.
Idk how that worked.
The girl in black had this weird ribbon sword gun thing.
We were fighting a giant scorpion with another group of people.
One of them looked like Victoria.

[longwei2go]

important question:
were you high at the time

[heiroglyphs]

Uh no
Actually I was fighting another, smaller scorpion.
In a crypt under the graveyard.

[longwei2go]

what the fuck
was this last month?

[heiroglyphs]

Yep.
An experience I hope I never have to go through again.

[longwei2go]

but you're saying doing that set off this other dream
memory
whatever

[heiroglyphs]

I can't think of anything else that would have done it.

[longwei2go]

okay so that's you, two of the girls in my picture,
and Victoria
this can't be a coincidence

[heiroglyphs]

I mean
The blonde girl was there too.
I guess I hadn't made the connection before.
She looked a lot younger than you and had both of her arms.
No tattoos either.

[longwei2go]

I didn't even squint at the lack of ink

here's a new problem
that girl's outfit?
*I* was wearing that in a dream of my own
the one where I was fighting those thugs in that nightclub

[heiroglyphs]

And that dress is something I wore to a performance in another dream.

[longwei2go]

terrific
now the hallucinations are starting to make connections
they have continuity
I need a drink

[heiroglyphs]

I've got some wine if you're interested.

[longwei2go]

nah I've got plenty here

[heiroglyphs]

Oh.
Okay.
Well... if you ever want a drinking buddy.

[longwei2go]

that's probably not a good idea

[ there's a long pause between messages ]

right now I need to work on getting my head on straight
last month didn't do me any favors even if I missed out on fighting weird monsters

[heiroglyphs]

Who's going to get my head on straight?

[longwei2go]

how the hell should I know?
I'm in the same boat

[heiroglyphs]

Right. Sorry.

[longwei2go]

if we're lucky some of this will start to make sense any day now
and we won't both be up shit creek without a paddle

I wonder if this picture is worth showing to Victoria
see if it can't, like, snap her out of pretending not to know what's going on

[heiroglyphs]

I haven't seen Victoria since the start of the summer.
She may have gone back home.

[longwei2go]

I've still got her number
it's worth a shot
