Is it common to have the most terrible migraine after the event? And if so, does it happen every time? The IBA should seriously consider handing out Excedrin with their business cards. Maybe a pamphlet of common side effects. Something more tangibly useful than their mission statement.

Maybe start with just hearing what others have experienced, if they are willing to share that with you?

[phdmotherfucker]

Well. How about yours?

[consortofalderaan]

Alright.

I'm married to a queen of a planet. I'm also a senator representing that planet in a galaxy-wide assembly. Lots of politics in my memories.

[phdmotherfucker]

Damn. Can we swap?

[consortofalderaan]

That bad?

[phdmotherfucker]

Yeah.

I was tortured.

[consortofalderaan]

That is bad. I'm sorry that that is your experience.

Some people have memories like that. There doesn't seem to be much reason behind who gets pleasant memories and who gets ones like yours.

[phdmotherfucker]

So basically: we don't know why this is happening, there seems to be no pattern of when or why it happens, and there is no way to stop it.

Cool.

Love that for us.

[consortofalderaan]

Yes, that does seem to be the shape of our reality, now.

Your specific memory does explain the headache you're experiencing, though. That is one mystery solved.

[phdmotherfucker]

Hopefully they don't always come in so ... vividly.

[consortofalderaan]

I'm afraid I have more disappointing news.

[phdmotherfucker]

Well.

Fuck.

[consortofalderaan]

I am sorry. Though I understand that doesn't help ease anyone with this.

[phdmotherfucker]

Thanks anyway.
