Are the aliens we're fighting giant organs? I really hope they aren't giant organs.

--um, I suppose I should clarify why I thought this. How many of you have remembered alien invasions that the "other you" saw? Do you think maybe that's why we're here? It's only a theory, and I do know it has some problems...

...I really hate that noise we're all hearing. I know somebody said it was stronger underneath the tower, but were there any machines there or anything you could see making the noise? Or a creature... no, you'd have fought it in that case. Sorry if this is troublesome.

"Giant organs" as in what? Lungs? Kidneys?

[video]

[stavros]

I think they could have been anything. There were brains and hearts, anyway. But some of them looked like spaceships instead, and some of them looked like humans who piloted spaceships.

It's really strange.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Wait, are you saying people have seen these things before?

[video]

[stavros]

I'm just asking. The ones I'm remembering are from the "other me", so they might not be related.

[video]

[synonymouswithdookie]

Right, that whole past lives thing. I'm still trying to get used to this shit.

Still, the thought of like brains and hearts flying ships is pretty creepy.

[video]

[stavros]

It is. That's why I'm hoping we aren't fighting Bacterians. --oh, that's what the aliens I remembered were called, by the way.

[video]

[synonymouswithdookie]

Bacterians? That just sounds gross.

I think I remembered something. It was just a bit of conversation, but I was definitely fighting weird creatures that might have been either aliens or angels or some kind of other weird thing that was just called "Angels" as a codename.

[She looks rather annoyed.]

Damn, I wish I'd remember some exposition or something. I thought it might refer to the weird creatures here, too.

[stavros]

Angels?

[soulsborderline]

Yeah. Just the name, I couldn't tell you anything about them, but from the way I talked about them, they're similarly...God, what's the word?

Inscrutable, that's it. Compared to the stuff that's attacked us here.

[stavros]

It doesn't sound like they're the same as Bacterians, but I don't know a lot about them. Just that they could take all kinds of forms. The really strong ones were sometimes giant organs, which is disgusting, but they could also be people. Some Bacterians looked like spaceships, too. The ones who looked like people, I think they piloted spaceships?

[soulsborderline]

Why would giant organ monsters have littler monsters that piloted spaceships? Why not just all be big monsters?

Also why would they look like organs?

[stavros]

I don't understand either.

[not_good_not_wicked]

They're Gardeners.

[Might want to elaborate on that a little bit, Marisa.]

Well, that's what they called themselves the one time they talked to anyone.

[stavros]

But they're not giant brains or anything like that.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Dunno. At the very least we know they can type.

Or they have someone to type for them.

I don't really know anything, I guess.

[stavros]

But they're probably not Bacterians.

[not_good_not_wicked]

[Expansive shrug]

Probably not?

[stavros]

Do you remember something like that?

Video

[shut_up_idiot]

You think we're getting these flashes because the people we're remembering from has experienced something like it before?

Also when you say organs, do you mean organs as in human organs?

[stavros]

It's only a theory.

Yes. Like... giant flying lungs and things.

[shut_up_idiot]

Hm, it's not a bad one. I can't say I remember anything like aliens, but whoever I'm remembering from definitely has fighting experience. [ That memory had not been a good one and it shows on his face. ] So there's that.

And I gotta say, that sounds utterly disgusting. No offense.

[stavros]

I'm not really offended. I thought it was gross, too.

[shut_up_idiot]

I can imagine. [ And because he just can't hep himself or his curiosity. ] How does that work, exactly? I mean, how does a giant organ fight?

[stavros]

I don't remember a lot. Just that we were fighting these aliens called Bacterians, and they looked like all sorts of different things, but some of the strongest ones looked like organs.
