i don't know how well i'd say i know you, but yeah, of the people who are talking to me, yes, we know each other. in passing? idk, if someone got one of these and doesn't know me than why would i hear about it?
I'd say well enough you didn't have to think about who I was so that counts for something. and that also counts for something since people keep getting weird shit in the mail, but this is the first time I've heard of anybody getting stuff from other people and I don't know, maybe somebody else got a different note with their cat? I don't know how these people work
maybe. so far everyone's note has been the same but the point is i dont know if its only people i know so i guess ill have to ask to find out "hello have you received a cat plush from yuri's angels, if so, please respond so we can have even more idea of how little idea we know whats going on" flawless plan tbh
it IS a flawless plan, especially if you ask the public at large it'd give us an idea if anybody else received weird shit recently, think about it that way
i'll get around to it before school then see what comes in during class and deal with it from there have you gotten anything actually for you that you recognised?
for me, yeah. that I recognized? not even close I'm still trying to figure it out. I know it's mine somehow but I can't figure out why or how it got to me or where it came from kinda sounds like a lot of us are having that issue
so its still feeling familiar for some reason i know someone who had that with a cloak, too she had it in hallucinomemories before she even got it delivered
oh yeah? I don't even have that, this just showed so I wonder what that means. if anything does she know what the cloak's for or anything like that? did you ask?
uh, it's for wearing and hiding her lower face. that's it. it... there wasn't a mystery there as far as i know
like what did you get that felt like yours but has a hidden purpose you don't know? since that's what it sounds like. but i'm running on four hours of sleep and no caffeine so
I'd tell you that you're just losing your mind but maybe that'll help figure something out a necklace. a bead necklace, black cord, five beads. pine tree, centaur in a fancy dress, some boat on fire? doesn't that seem weirdly specific?
sounds like a bunch of charms. so specific, yeah, but weird is like... weird since those are supposed to mean something to you centaurs are the half-people half-horse things right? does it look like an actual centaur? not half chocobo?
something like that. necklace fits me and everything so that's weird but yeah, definitely an actual centaur. everything around here changed into one of the chocobos but this showed up in my mailbox and had a horse's ass attached to a man in a dress so someone's fucking with me, or there's some deep weird symbolism in all of this
or both not that the symbolism has to be coming from retrospec to mean something not if these hallucinomemories everyone has aren't explaining that somehow
what theories do you even have about these things anyway? we know the packages are weird but the hallucino-whatevers...everybody keeps arguing about them
( cue the irritated, unsettled teenager textranting )
idk i havent had many of my own but its like watching some Alternate Experience bs it feels real but it's not like it has to be us, but like... someone we could have been but why are we "remembering" stuff that has nothing to do with our lives here why is retrospec pushing that why does it seem they expect we should be "thankful" for having our lives screwed with if these are memories and people are remembering things that have actually happened then it's in another, idk, maybe a past life a past life where people speak different languages or are probably spies or see animals that don't exist even if it's futuristic
so i dont really have theories all i have is immense irritation that retrospec apparently thinks we should care but doesnt bother telling any of us why we should freaking care about the lives were not living why does it matter what are they getting out of this what are we getting out of this its all stupid
[While he's tempted to type "r u ok", he decides not to be an asshole since these are all questions he has, too.]
good point. why IS retrospec actually so determined to make us visualize these things? some people have speculated mass hallucinations, but the thing about it is that hallucinations can't make you feel memories or speak languages or get stuck in the ceiling or wait who do you know that might be spies or can see animals that don't exist? I mean Thalia and I had the same memory of meeting at a DRAGON'S CAVE. a DRAGON so is it futuristic? or is it the past? maybe it's a city-wide stress test? don't they do that for soldiers and astronauts and stuff? how much have you remembered on your own anyway...?
no the seventeen year old who lives on his own is not "okay" with this stuff )
uh mostly figure skating stuff why the hell do you get something like a dragon? a dragon! was it badass? were you badass or was it one of those "running for our lives" things i've heard both idk future, past, alternate reality, what other sci fi theory can we run with city wide stress test makes no sense when we're getting such wildly different reactions though wait you're having shared memories of the same thing with someone?
why figure skating...? and I don't know, if I had that answer I wouldn't be asking questions! and maybe? I don't really remember much about the dragon itself but we probably fought it? or avoided it because it wanted to kill us, that part's pretty hazy alternate reality would make sense but aren't those things usually kept separate from actual reality? it's like a bleed then but...yeah. have you ever met thalia grace? her. she got the dragon memory, too
i have no idea. uh, alternate reality isn't like subbing in for "actual" reality pretty sure each reality is actual for each place and all the other ones are "alternate" no, i haven't. but it's ? nice ? weird to know someone else is dreaming the same thing i've seen someone in one but i'm not sure that was a hallucinomemory dreams are weird enough anyway
so like twilight zone kind of crazy. but you'd think the two realities meeting or whatever would make the whole thing clash or erase one to become the true superior reality it's. weird. I'm debating if I'm grateful for it or not but I'm leaning toward not because that makes it more likely to have some validity to it you saw someone in one of yours like...someone here? what else would it have been?
look if we're dealing with realities devouring each other we're screwed until someone helpfully remembers "oh wait i can fix realities tearing themselves apart that's kind of useful" uh a dream? like we're getting these hallucinomemories it kind of makes sense if you know they start crossing over with just... weird dreams
don't even joke about that yet the only reason I'm not sold on these things being weird dreams is that I remember way too much detail about them. do you usually remember your dreams that much?
not usually, but i can tell you since the "memory" stuff started happening there's definitely some weird dreams mixing them up with other stuff buuuut thats probably normal brain taking everything and trying to make sense of it all when youre sleeping
that's science I can get behind. too bad our brains didn't get the memo but that makes as much sense as anything else know a lot of people who're getting dreams too?
