I have what is perhaps an odd question. Who of our dark cabal has had what appeared to be a clear idea of their other self's life, only to find an Echo that turns that impression to dust?

As well, to the pilots of those large machines. Have you ever seen one that was... smaller? Perhaps not in the shape of a human, but only encasing a human pilot partially. I know not how we were not instantly killed, exposed as we were.

sorry. i have absolutely no idea what you just said. are you talking about getting memories that point to you being one way for a while and then suddenly getting one that points to something else. cause that would probably make me feel kind of weird.

also what's a cabal

[stavros]

Correct. Or rather, a detail that changes your previous impression.

A group that hides in the shadows due to a cursed commonality and the power to influence this corrupted world through the poetic darkness in which we reside.

[saviorsoul]

what sort of detail. i mean, if you're cool with answering.

[ So many complicated words. Why does he keep running into people who like to use the confusing ones? ]

you think we're cursed.

[stavros]

I once fought both an alien menace and creatures of the night. Until now, I have remembered fighting on the ground and gained things to that degree. However, I apparently also knew how to pilot some strange futuristic machine. Kind of like the giant robots, but not a giant robot?

A cool kind of cursed!

[saviorsoul]

maybe you found the robot thing later. you said it was smaller than the usual giant robots.

idk i think i'd prefer using something other than cursed. cursed makes it sound like there's something wrong with us.

[ And Alexi already thinks there's enough wrong with him. This "Numbered" thing was supposed to mean you were one of the good guys, right? You could help people. ]

[stavros]

But it's cool! You know, like embracing the beauty of darkness and pain! Why aren't there any other goth kids on this network?

[saviorsoul]

[ This is seriously starting to get weird... ]

maybe you should try the artists. i met one around town the other day and i have a feeling he'd be more into that sort of thing.

[stavros]

But there should really be more people on the network who understand the darkness of existence.

[saviorsoul]

um don't take this the wrong way but that sounds kind of cultish.

[stavros]

How?

[saviorsoul]

the darkness of existence part... it sounds like people who are waiting for the end of the world or something.

[stavros]

No way! It's just describing how the world is.

[saviorsoul]

[ Alexi is still trying to sort out how serious she is or whether she's just one of those weird kids that slather on dark makeup and dark clothes and pretend they're not interested in the world around them. Still, she seems too cheerful to be exactly like those types. Maybe it's just a quirk? ]

i'm still not seeing it.

[ Possibly due to years and years of extensive therapy... ]

[stavros]

*Both.*

Geez.

[saviorsoul]

[ Alexi is starting to think a topic change might be good here... ]

what was your robot like?

[stavros]

Not quite a robot. It was a small flying machine that was more like... some manner of console that surrounded me and kept me afloat.

[saviorsoul]

like a robotic bubble.

[stavros]

Not really, but that would look cool.

[saviorsoul]

do you think you could draw it. i'm really curious.

i mean if it's okay.

[stavros]

ooc: omg this is amazing. XD

[saviorsoul]

[ Probably squinting as his screen right now and trying to figure out if the robot thing is trying to give her a very unsettling hug or something. ]

so it's kind of like a floating seat thing. i can see what you mean about being exposed. it doesn't really protect your head or anything.

Thank you. XD Tessa Hart, you are an embarrassment to society.

[stavros]

Indeed. I am unsure of the function of such a design.

[saviorsoul]

did it fly at least

[stavros]

It did, and it had weapons, I believe.

[saviorsoul]

yeah it would need those to fight. i guess if it could fly around, it could evade too much damage.
