text; super early in the morning

[bearshermark]

I can't do this. These memories need to stop. I can't.



Edit: Didn't someone ask about castles? There was also a dragon. It was not a good time.


Edit 2: No one named Erik with blue hair out here by any chance, right?

He seems to love you if he's laying all over you already. I'm glad my mom could help.

[hardtoignore]

This little ball of fluff would suck up to anyone giving him the time of day. But yeah, he's really cuddly and I swear I'm gonna die every time I hear him purr.

She was really nice. Kind of gave me the kick I needed to just talk about it with Phil and Kris. I shouldn't have been so stubborn about it before but I just didn't want to get disappointed.

[bearshermark]

Yeah, and now you have a cat that loves you. Feel free to send me pics anytime.

[hardtoignore]

That's a dangerous challenge to pose, I hope you know.

[Eleven will be getting probably about two pics a day. At least.]

[serpentinthegarden]

Have you ever tried telling anyone you are one of the 'Different'?

[bearshermark]

Just my mom, but uh, turns out she is too, so that was awkward.

[serpentinthegarden]

How could that be awkward? At least she would understand. She is going through the same thing you are.

[temptationaccomplished]

Someone did, yes. My newest one had a castle too. No dragons, though, I'm afraid; just a snake. I'm wondering if this is some kind of theme.

Have you by chance found any more hints about the location yours takes place in, other than the mythology?

[bearshermark]

Well the technology level is or was low- swords and armor reminiscent of crusaders. But there's dragons and floating trees so who knows?

[bearshermark]

I think I'll manage.

Gotta get back to class. See you after school!

[temptationaccomplished]

Floating trees. So there was some kind of magic other than dragons? Seems like these memories are getting more and more outlandish. Next thing we know, they'll be telling us we're wizards and shipping us off to magical boarding schools.

[bearshermark]

It was a thing. It's worked out of course, so that's a relief. I mean she's upset it's happening to me, but.

Anyway, yeah no, I haven't been brave enough to tell any of my friends.

[bearshermark]

Man I wish. That'd be so much cooler than what's actually happening.

How have your memories been?

[temptationaccomplished]

Aside from that first one, nothing too horrible. A bit unrealistic, but that seems to be the way of it.

[So I may be a magic school student or I might be part of a Satanic cult that kills children. Jury is still out. But I got a snake so that's a safe topic to discuss. No one's going to judge me for having a pet. ]

[serpentinthegarden]

I wouldn't. People wouldn't really understand.

[bearshermark]

I guess I wouldn't have believed it, before all this.

[bearshermark]

I guess none of us are doing terribly well right now. I wonder if this will ever not be too strange.

[serpentinthegarden]

I'm still not sure I believe it. How do we really know these are memories? They could be anything, just very real feeling stories we've heard before.

[bearshermark]

I guess it's just down to what you believe. I'm willing to believe in past lives; my first memory directly supported reincarnation. It feels right to me, even if I don't completely understand how it works. But I also haven't heard any compelling alternatives.

[hardtoignore]

[Here you go, another pic of Cheddar lying on his back, eyes closed and looking like he's living it up.]

Okay. See you then.

[serpentinthegarden]

They could be subliminal messages, weird government rays beamed straight into our heads, who knows what these Bureau guys could be experimenting with.

[bearshermark]

Yeah, that's full on conspiracy territory. We definitely need more information.

[serpentinthegarden]

Makes more sense to me than any of those memories being real.

[ He had been a snake, no THE serpent... that couldn't be real. ]

[bearshermark]

Fair enough.

There's a part of me that doesn't want them to be real, but reincarnation is my best theory right now.

[serpentinthegarden]

I never believed in reincarnation.
