i don't know, it might be one of those "matter of time" things. a friend of mine hadn't remembered ANYTHING even though he's been on the network since the start and then a few days ago he remembered fighting some sort of demon

but even if that's the case you're right, just in case they haven't remembered anything by that point we should still be ready to protect them

do you actually know anyone who's remembered shooting lasers out of their eyes or is that something you pulled out of your ass

it's bullshit that i have to actually ask that question

[alienates]

As far as I know no one has actually shot lasers out of their eyes but now that I said that, it's probably going to happen next week.
You'll be walking down the street and wave at someone and suddenly they're accidentally shooting heat vision at you because they chose that inconvenient moment to gain superpowers.
Hmmmm
Well, true irony would be you getting it.

[darkinferno]

i'd better not, i've gotten enough bullshit memories out of this so far

apparently i could summon up monsters i think that's more than enough

[alienates]

Wait wait wait wait
Is that a thing you can actually do right now or is it just something you remember doing??

[darkinferno]

just a memory right now

i can summon a sword, but not any of the monsters i remember

which is probably a good thing

[alienates]

Were they like, horrible eat your face kind of monsters??

[darkinferno]

[...what the hell, Karkat?]

i tried to keep them AWAY from my face so i don't know if they would've eaten it if they had the chance

i remember black shadowy monsters that tried to claw at you, bigger ones with swords, and ones that attacked by biting. are you trying to ask if i remember any in particular?

[alienates]

[ it's a legit question, shut up. ]

Yeah.
When people talked through shit I remembered with me, it helped trigger even more stuff.
So maybe doing that will work with you??
If you want.

[darkinferno]

[It is! But he hadn't been expecting Karkat, of all people, to make an offer like this. Karkat's apparently faster to drop a grudge than he'd thought.]

okay, why not

so how should we do this, do i describe the monsters i've already remembered or do you want to start?

[alienates]

[ he definitely holds grudges but he's also the type to Get Down To Business when it matters. ]

Ok I'm going to ask a few questions and making you think about shit might work?
It's how it worked for me.
So when you summoned them were you doing anything in particular?

[darkinferno]

sounds good, hit me

[...even if Karkat's very first question is one he doesn't want to answer. Okay, this might be a little more difficult than he was expecting. He really doesn't want to get into the details of this memory...]

yeah i said "watch this" held out my hand and watched one of them pop out of the ground in response

[alienates]

Hmmmm
Do you know who you were talking to?
Like did you see them, and if you did was it someone you recognized?

[darkinferno]

[WHY THIS HE IS A GOOD PERSON fuck it's karma isn't it]

yeah, i'm pretty sure i know exactly who it was

it's someone else that's on the network

i can't say i liked him too much

[alienates]

[ face your demons. your... adorable, shadow demons. ]

Are you close to them?
Or is it someone who only vaguely know????

[darkinferno]

[does facing them mean adopting them as pets bc he could get behind that honestly]

let's go with "vaguely know"

i've talked with him a few times but only because he won't leave me alone

and i didn't know him before he showed up on the network

[alienates]

Ok I am in a similar situation then, where someone I barely know has shown up in memory shit I've gotten.
Which is weird because other people I know actually are friends with the people who have shown up in theirs that are on the network??
Do you know if this guy has gotten any?
Wait why the fuck won't he leave you alone.

[darkinferno]

maybe we should just use names, this is getting a little hard to follow

anyways, i don't know if he's gotten any yet, it's not like i've asked but i'm sure it's just a matter of time

and he won't leave me alone because for some reason he hasn't gotten the memo that i'm an asshole yet and he apparently thinks if he pesters me enough i'll give in and we'll all sing kumbaya and be best friends forever or something

[alienates]

Hahahahaha
So he's one of THOSE types of people.
Dante, I am afraid you are royally fucked and will now have a puppy.
Just hope he isn't the kind who'll shit on everything.

Anyway it'll probably be good if he sticks around anyway.
You can get info out of him probably.

[darkinferno]

i'm taking him back to the shelter i didn't sign up for this

i'm not sure it's even worth getting info out of him to have to see his face around more often. is that what you're doing with the person you talked about?

but i don't really feel like dealing with more memories with him in it

[alienates]

No he's yours now. Don't forget to feed him.

And no, my dude hates my fucking guts for reasons even I don't understand.
Like I know I can be an asshole but the level of animosity he has shown me does not match the level of dickery I have shown him.
So whatever I guess.

But that memory is that bad then, huh?

[darkinferno]

i'm sure he can make puppy dog eyes at someone and get table scraps, i'm not feeding him

should i even ask who it is? having been on the other end of your shit that's almost impressive levels of animosity

and yeah. it ties into another two i've got and the picture it paints isn't exactly a pretty one if you get my drift

[alienates]

That's neglect.
He can get you in trouble for that.

It's not that important.
I can easily avoid him, it's just obnoxious as fuck considering it means I have one less person to try to get answers from regarding the memories.

Ohhh. Hm.
Ok yeah that is a shitshow then.

[darkinferno]

i'd like to see him try i've got a cop and a lawyer on my side

[...who would probably both smack him upside the head and tell him to stop being a moron, but that's not the point here.]

shit sucks, man. but at least it sounds like you've got someone else to talk with about them

you're telling me. but whatever, i'll get him to leave me alone sooner or later

[alienates]

I am like 99% sure that they would probably not care and I am not even exactly sure which cop and lawyer you're talking about.

It's good to have even a little fucking luck on my side.
I know there are some people who don't have anyone at all to figure shit out.
I'd go nuts.

Is he the only person you recognize?

[darkinferno]

who knows? i don't and i don't want to find out either, i'm just going to avoid that. i'll get him off my back eventually

there's someone else that's got the same memories as i do too. we've been sharing memories when we can but they only overlap so much

i think it depends on how you feel about all of these visions too, if you want to know more about them it's good luck to have more people with the same memories, but i don't mind saying i'd be happier without them
