"The Apostle of the Violet Rose". That sounds like the dashing, masked hero in some shoujo manga. I like it, but can't imagine being called that and not saying anything. Or seeing a man with wings claiming I can do things and not giving it a second thought. And yet! That, and a mysterious feather... It feels like more than a dream. Can't help wondering what it means.

We should have a word for these things. So it's not so vague. Lagniappe? Deja entendu? Something less pretentious? lol!

Getting the feeling that I could've gone into med school. Be useful for once. But I didn't think I was the type... Aaaah, well, too late now. ^_^;

[ ...dude. That sounded hella gay, just saying. ]

I am swiftly getting the impression that pretentious is an ordinary state of mind for you.

[ Hypocrisy what hypocrisy he knows nothing of it. ]

[espigeonage]

Lol, guilty! I try to rein it back, but I fear unearned faux-depth is my albatross.

[secondcomingof]

I'm assuming this was a... vision you had, then? A sudden acquisition of the moniker?

Are you high? Who's your dealer, you clearly need to hook me up.

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Sorry, but no! Things just happen to be weird enough that the difference between reality and psychotropic-induced fantasy is becoming a little blurry, lol.

If you're seriously looking for nothing harder than marijuana, though, I know a guy.

I knew it, everyone's just going mad around me. Soon I'll be the only sane one left and THAT'S a scary thought.

I'm good but if you know a way to hook me up with good liquor without needing an ID, I'm all ears.

Lagniwhat?

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Lagniappe! Something extra that you weren't looking for.

[argents]

Oh. Thanks. I hadn't really thought of it that way before.

[So the longer Sano drifts around on this mysterious network, the more he's sure it's not just another lolcats community. Then again, the posts he sees aren't exactly what one may call normal, so he's still in the dark.

He'll have to ask about things soon in more detail.]

"These things"?

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Right, right. The weird extra - or not extra, lol - things happening to us people-of-the-secret-network. Unless I'm very wrong you've had at least one, too. Something that came with or after this light hollow feeling, and your heartbeat strange and strong.

[Texted]

[consiliarius]

Well that sounds about right, but a secret network? Seems a little convenient.

[And weird, definitely weird, but one thing at a time.]

Oh, but I'm sure it would be fun to give them a silly, pretentious name! Then if anyone overhears one of us talking about them, they'll think that we're hipsters and disregard everything we say.

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Very true! I should find a PDF of Dr Seuss books or something.

[Texted]

[threadspell]

They could be suesses!

[professorwolf]

Ah, so this is your number :) Feather-boy.

I don't think anyone will agree on a name like that. Maybe something simpler?

Also, where did the strange title come from? Another vision?

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Process of elimination... ah, hello, Mister Smallworld.

True, can't expect everyone to have my sense for the grandiose and absurd. Pulses, maybe? They seem brief.

That's right. Some of it came to me a few days ago, but it was like tip-of-the-tongue sort of thing. I remembered but I couldn't clearly remember, not like now.

[professorwolf]

Mister Smallworld. Very apt considering how many people on this network I know in person :)

How about Extras? Like on a DVD? Since some of them are not brief, at all, like my problem with smelling things.

[shiromadoushi]

It really does! Sure you're not just remembering watching an anime or something like that?

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Lol, maybe! Goodness knows it's absurd enough to hear. But I like absurd. Maybe I should go by Apostle of the Violet Rose here! People can think I'm a girl and I can pretend to be annoyed when I'm called Violet or Rose.

[shiromadoushi]

We could all get code names! And be even more like a hero team~

[withregret]

... The Apostle of the Violet Rose.

[espigeonage]

That's right! Sounds pretty absurd, doesn't it? Suits me just fine.

If you expect me to address you as such while you are working in my clinic, you're going to be disappointed. How do you come up with these things?

[espigeonage]

No? How's AVR, on channels like this anyway?

It wasn't me this time, I swear. It was a teal-haired teenager who kept turning into a teal-haired winged man and back. Who may or may not be a figment of my imagination. Hmm, I may be making my case poorly.
