Re: day 347 some time idk when

How ironic to say this to amnesiac, ...

... have you ever had a memory that you can never forget, but you suppress for the weight of it? The game sought fit to allow me to relive it in catches and moments. I hardly can tell what is real or not sometimes.

Which is why I asked if you were suffering from something similar.

Ooooh... That--sounds like it sucks. [ huffs, blinking up at the sky ]

I think if we were home it'd be worse. Like--just from my memories of it. Cause I already can't always tell if people are dead or alive, and then--like. What's a hallucination because of what I've taken and what isn't? So that, plus my dreams are usually some weird-ass combination of my memories... I get the feeling that if I was home, I could probably easily just walk into traffic or off a building without realizing it.

Lucky I haven't, actually.

But, uh. Did you...wanna talk about it? Is that why you said sound is good? Probably cause I've never shown up in those memories of yours, hm?

Is there a particular sensation that makes the memories take over. For Five it has been smell, especially that of ash and fire.

Mine is sound. The closest I can equate it to is the breaking of glass. For it is the sound of shattering souls that does rattle within.

Not the most pleasant topic.

--Right, keep you around soft comfy things.

[ because that's totally the important thing to take away here ]

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

More serene and peaceful sounds, but yes.

[He motions at the ocean.]

And that's why we are here. Well, and that I have something crawling under my skin, but really compared to the rest it is minor detail.

[ grimaces ]

Can I do anything to help with that?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

Truthfully, it isn't that bad. Would it be just the physical ailments, I doubt I would be bothered much at all.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Yeah, mental weirdness is the worst. I don't really have any specific memories of being through rehab, but maybe I can share it once I get one? That might help?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

[He can't help but smile at that and run a hand through his hair.]

It would be an interesting watch nonetheless.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Though it's probably gonna be, like, really boring stuff.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

I actually enjoy the mundane from time to time. And truthfully, you don't have to entertain me. Your presence is enough.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

You say that, but.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

But?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

But it still feels like I should do something?

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

I know that feeling all to well. To expedite the healing. To make all the ails disappear.

I think we all feel that way from time to time.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Yeeeah... It's kinda shitty.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

But to ease your worries, you are helping. Sometimes simply holding out a hand is enough.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

Is it though.

[ .... HOLDS OUT A HAND?? ]

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

I believe this falls into the realm of over time you will believe it for yourself.

[He does take it and squeezes his fingers.]

Thank you for worrying.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

[ squeezes back! ]

'Course I would.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

[He pulls him in for a hug and then lets him back.]

I always wondered if I would be well received by Five's siblings. Not that I don't find you delightful by your own merit. But it was always a bit of a worry.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

I mean, I don't super remember a lot about us, especially as adults, but... I'm just gonna say that I think you'd be okay. You care about him, which is more than we do for each other most of the time.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[firstworldproblem]

But what if I'm a terrible murder and just was waiting for the perfect family outing to tell all of you.

Re: day 347 some time idk when

[ouji4board]

I mean... You'd fit right in with the fam?

I’ve heard Diego is rather by the book and some of what I’ve done can be considered morally questionable.

But I do appreciate the confidence. And I then suppose I should give you my real name. Alexander is one to match my unit. And Emet-Selch is my title.

My real name is Hades.
