Sixth Capsule

Feb 08, 2010 13:14

[Despite all them pesky "PRIVATE + UNHACKABLE" tags, an out-and-about X has seen enough strangeness and marriage complaints to put two and two together. The final case-cracker for this conclusion was Tear's entry on the subject. HA. CHRIS AND ETHAN, YOU GUYS CAN EAT IT. EAT IT. I WASN'T THE DICK THIS TIME. =D Or rather, I didn't manipulate X ( Read more... )

wow fish!, valentine's day, event, warm fuzzies

I apologise for Xanxus inflicting himself upon X >_> rawrsoangry February 8 2010, 19:42:36 UTC

Wait. WAIT.

So this stinking fucking shithole of an island can give us FALSE memories, too?!

How the fuck are we supposed to trust ANY of the memories it gives us back?!

...you know what, fuck it. I'm not surprised at fucking all.

Holy FUCK I hate this place.

No apologies needed. Muses will be muses. =D lights_legacy February 8 2010, 20:31:28 UTC

[But X is paralyzed for a second or two by your pottymouth, Xanxus. In response, we have face like this]

Um...I didn't say I knew for sure. It's possible, but my idea's based on coincidence. There's nothing to back it up.

On the other hand, we don't know that we didn't really get married either. That's why I'm saying we should reserve judgement until the event's over.

rawrsoangry February 9 2010, 19:51:12 UTC

[Yeah...sorry, X! Also, Xanxus is basically laughing like a psychopath right now (how terribly fitting). You will not be blamed if it scares you a little.]

...HAH! Hahaha.

That's fucking rich. Hey, if this shitty island is giving out free false memories to us lucky scumsuckers, maybe one day I'll get to forget the sparkly peacock faggot!

[And then he sobered quickly.]

FUCK this.

[Reposting so it doesn't look so cluttered. But yeah, that seriously tickled me. XD X-Baby's close to speechless for reals now.]

But I didn't...

[Yeeeah, he trailed off there. He's definitely freaked out]

It's...weird, I'll give you that. But this isn't the first time the island did something like this.

And in the case I'm thinking of, all the memories turned out to be true.

lights_legacy February 8 2010, 20:24:26 UTC

[ohhh dear. nervous nao]

So, we've had events similar to this with authentic recollections? Then it is possible this whole thing isn't just coincidence...

It's strange, though. Real memories or not, all these...marriages are a bit hard to swallow all at once.

crimeas_hero February 9 2010, 03:50:18 UTC

Well, we're talking a life-changing commitment here. Honestly, getting back memories of marriage is going to shake anybody up, even without things as they are.

lights_legacy February 10 2010, 20:51:38 UTC

[Sorry for bein' late; my head was a bit slow in calculating what could be said here. Meanwhile, watch X change the subject!]

Hmm. This prior incident you mentioned; can you tell me more about it?

If all of this is another one of the island's tricks, then why does it all feel so real?

[Filter! Way to strike home, Danny. You said a mouthful of ouch. =D] lights_legacy February 8 2010, 20:25:54 UTC

...

It does feel real, doesn't it. It feels too real.

But how can it be?

[filter--ohohoh there's a surprise!] totallynotaspaz February 8 2010, 20:34:17 UTC

I don't know, and I don't like it either, but I can remember the wedding and what it felt like and everything.

I'm not sure what's worse: being married, or finding out that this place can give us fake memories that feel completely real.

Re: [filter--ohohoh there's a surprise!] lights_legacy February 8 2010, 20:49:26 UTC

[Icon!]

Well...one way or the other, we'll find out eventually. (*X hopes.*) Besides, it shouldn't be too hard to cancel the marriages if the parties involved don't want any part of it. I didn't meet a lot of people who were thrilled about suddenly having a spouse.

And if the memories are real, then...we wouldn't have married who we did without a reason, right? We must've found something we loved about them, or at least, a rational motivation for tying the knot. I don't want to think something like this happened aimlessly.

...Hey, if this isn't helping, you don't have to pay me any mind. I know I'm going in circles.

You really think it's all one of the island's tricks, Mr. X? It feels... very vivid to me...

lights_legacy February 8 2010, 21:27:23 UTC

I can't say for sure. In fact, there's the possibility these...recollections could be genuine. Someone told me that actual memories coinciding with specific themes have been brought out by these events before. It's...at this point, it's just really worrying.

[FILTERED HENCEFORTH]

It does feel uncomfortably vivid, Yomiko. I...I'm still not sure know what I should make of it.

More importantly, how are you holding up?

[Filtered] deathly_origami February 8 2010, 21:38:19 UTC

I... I'm not sure yet. I feel a little overwhelmed. ...I never expected that she would come back, and then she did and I still don't remember her... and then to remember being married to her like this...

But, I remember being so happy...

...you were happy too, Mr. X?

Re: [Filtered] lights_legacy February 8 2010, 22:01:00 UTC

...Yes. I was...overwhelmingly happy. Like everything in my life was just for that moment. Like...she was everything I'd ever wanted, everything that could ever make me happy to begin with.

But that doesn't make any sense. And why do I only remember her? I've been waiting to remember something about my world, anything -- anything that could explain why I'm not a human, or why I have so many functions geared exclusively towards combat, or even something like who made me, what I enjoyed in life, who I was or how I lived. And now, the only thing I remember, it...it might not even be real. Why? If Eden knows what it's doing, and it has to...why does it do this? Why are the gods doing this?

...If I really loved her, then the island's started off by giving me back one of the most important things of my existence. But if I didn't...

[A gap between words, and an all-too-human sound of frustration on the other end of the journal. I don't know if Yomiko heard it since I'm still fuzzy on the journals, but mun-to-mun knowledge ( ... )

twilightsmile February 8 2010, 22:20:29 UTC

It sounds plausible, but I don't know... all my memories, up to this point, have been real. Nothing ever stood out as "suspicious" or "fake," if you know what I'm saying?

lights_legacy February 9 2010, 00:36:59 UTC

Yeah, I do. What makes this whole incident suspicious is the proximity to a romance-based holiday, and the memories recalled just happen to coincide with that theme. If it were one or two people remembering marriage, that'd be one thing, but it's much more, and all at the same time. Doesn't that seem questionable somehow?

twilightsmile February 9 2010, 03:37:32 UTC

It does... and this may very well be an event... but in my case? I actually liked my so-called husband before I remembered everything.

It's painful to admit he didn't like me back - not in that way - but we were close friends before these feelings of marriage came up.

lights_legacy February 9 2010, 17:59:23 UTC

I see...

Have you spoken with him yet? Did you find out how he feels about all this?
