So I kind of told my parents. Like everything.

They took it about as well as could be expected I guess? But thats why I haven't been around much lately. I had to deal with the fallout and I was trying to like reassure them I'm not going to run off and get myself killed or in big trouble or anything like that.

I'm still grounded, can you believe it?! Just for new reasons.

But I did go w my dad to get another look at Tuning Towers. He definately can't hear the buzzing even that close. [This next part is messier, written much more quickly.] And I sort of wanted to see if it would make me remember something else and it did!

I still don't know what other-me's species is called so I guess fuzzybluetaurs wins by default. For now. ;)

But his name is

DRUMROLL

Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill

No I'm not going to try and say it for your amusement.

Wait. You told them? And they didn't flip out or shit a brick or put you in the nuthouse?

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

Only two of the above which I guess is pretty good.

Still went through the roof but came back down quickly enough, eh?

[espigeonage]

Congrats! I think. It's tough. If you want I can see if my sister will meet them before she moves out. Just so they can have family-of-the-numbered solidarity, lol.

You really got a second pulse from going back there? ...lol well I guess I did too come to think of it. But I was skulking around spying.

[moarnomsplz]

I kind of thought if it worked once it would work again. Pretty dumb in hindsight? But I wanted to see if getting my dad close would do anything.

Was your second one OK? Like not too obvious or weird?

[espigeonage]

Huh. Well, if no harm came of it...

Not obvious at all. I look the same, sound the same, feel the same all that. But I guess now I'm harder to notice. It's complicated, I'm just not getting looked at as much and I can kind of sneak around.

I am turning into a ninja, clearly.

You what? Really?

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

I thought about it for a while. And I kind of decided I'd rather be in trouble for stuff I'm actually doing than have them think I'm worse than I really am.

[handwritten]

[ladyofluminosity]

But I thought we weren't supposed to tell anyone about this. Although Tavia's been talking about making a video.

[Still, that was insanely convenient.]

But wow. The world didn't end. I don't think? It didn't, right?

ok 1, I can't believe you told your parents and 2, that name is a mouthful

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

It would be like 4 mouthfuls for me!

They knew something was up and I actually think they'd rather some crazy network changey conspiracy thing than I don't know. Drugs or having tons of unsafe sex or whatever.

[moarnomsplz]

Dude, you broke your arm? After being all smug about your floaty powers?

That name is cool tyvm.
In like a super science fictiony sort of way. All it needs is some apostrophes.

[Handwritten]

[originaloddcouple]

Oh. They... believed you?

That's pretty neat! And unexpected.

[moarnomsplz]

I had to show them how I can shapeshift. But yeah after that they sort of had to.

[reapsthewind]

1. oh my god you're an idiot

2. my funky alien name is way more 80s and rad

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

1. Why? They knew something was up already from my repeating thing and it was kind of only a matter of time before they caught me with my extra eyes or tail. Or back half of an alien body.

2. OK, what is it? But mine is really awesome. It has all the syllables.

[His first thought with something of a pang on reading that first line is a vagueness to the effect of "Oh, no."

But they took it as well as he expected, is what comes along right after - it sinks in and it's then not as if he's in any astronomical trouble - still in some trouble, though, he isn't sure whether or not it's appropriate to say "congratulations" , and then decides it is; that's got to be an unfathomable load off the minds of both sides...]

Congratulations, Alex... How much do they know now?

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

Thanks. :)

I knew they wouldn't be able to see the network but they know pretty much everything else. I had to change for them. It was almost funny.

I have to admit it was a relief to finally be able to explain the repeating thing for what it really is.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I guess if you can turn into a fuzzybluetaur, they couldn't exactly say you were delusional could they?

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

Exactly! But I had to change back and forth before they really got that it was real.

[stavros]

I'm so sorry. I hope you're all safe, at least.

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

So far!

I'm actually glad I told them, it was like a weight off my shoulders and all that cliche stuff. :)
