oo1 [text] [intros at the worst time]

[dadscar]

So, this is what we do all day is it? Jibber jabber.
It's been made abundantly clear that I'm not the only one in possession of these numbers, so I presume it has important implications.
I can't say I particularly share a desire to know every waking detail of your hopes and dreams, but a little more information would be appreciated. I'm sure one of you can afford me that privilege.

[Because snakes?? Really?? It's never easy, is it.]

For that matter, if Eri does happen to be fooling around playing funny buggers on here rather than doing his homework, feel free to direct him to me. I'm sure we have more than studies to discuss now, after all.

[After all, what kind of father would he be if he didn't shame him in front of a group of strangers.]

[Wow so his dad is part of this club now?? Well that's awesome, really, it's kinda great, just one more thing to share with--and then he notices that last bit and he just wants to crawl under a rock and die... WHY DAD WHY?!]

my homework IS done dad
you dont got to be tellin all these STRANGERS that like i dont got my priorities in order

[dadscar]

Don't ever say I don't know how to draw you out of a crowd. It's terribly easy to bait you, you know.

[Hypocrite.]

[yerawizarderi]

[Despite having said he'd be swift, Murdoc is taking his time. He feels more shaken by those two names used together than he cares to admit, so he lets himself unruffle before traipsing upstairs to Eri's room.

He knocks first, but he'll pretty much just walk in anyway with his nifty iPad tucked under his arm. He's busy having internet fights, you can't just walk away from those.]

It's me. [He says like Eri wouldn't know.]

[action]

[yerawizarderi]

[It's alright, Eri's got his own internet fights, and so he's tapping away at his macbook air when Murdoc walks in. Giving him a quick glance over his shoulder, before he sends whatever it is he's typing and closes it. He spins in his chair to face his dad, looking a bit contemplative.]

Hey--You may wanna sit down, this whole thing is weird as shit and sounds like absolute fiction, but I promise it ain't.

[He's still having a hard time grasping it a week after the fact.]

[action]

[dadscar]

[Despite his important net obligations, Murdoc is going to set down the tablet as he responds with a nod and a very tired sigh. He's not really sure what to contribute at present, nor what he's willing to share even with Eri.

However, there is one thing he knows he wants to do. He'll think on it for a moment before leaning forward and just letting himself flop face down on Eri's bed, not caring that his feet are draped over the edge.]

Maybe we ought to move. [Drama queen.] Greece is nice this time of year.

[action]

[yerawizarderi]

[Eri watches him with a bit of amusement before letting out a long suffering sigh.]

Who knows if movin' will help anythin' at all.

[A beat.]

But Greece does sound nice.

Anyway, basically from what I've come to understand about this whole thing, is there's some reincarnation goin' on? Which, I ain't a spiritual or religious guy, you know that, but I can't help but believe it.

[He leans back in his chair, slumping in it a bit.]

Mainly 'cos a what has happened just a few minutes ago, that happened to me about a week ago too. That crazy bitch keeps sayin' things and I keep rememberin' shit that ain't anythin' I've personally experienced. Like the name "Orphaner Dualscar". I've never heard that before, but I sure as fuck suddenly remembered it when she said Mi--uh, that name you don't like.

[He quirks an eyebrow.]

What's with that, anyway?

[action]

[dadscar]

Well you know what they say, if you're going to suffer- do it on a beach. [He is the most wise, most sage father the world has ever known.]

I wouldn't say I am either, but there are far too many people with the same feelings for it to be mere coincidence. Whatever it is, it seems less and less like a scam.

Mmh, there's more than enough evidence- particularly in regards to that name. Seems awfully familiar, y'know? Like an embarrassing nickname from school, particularly with the scars and all. [Seems a lot cooler than Mudsy though.] But if we both remember it, does that mean we were related? I really hope you don't intend on taking a knife to your face. One of us needs to look nice in photos.

[He grits his teeth at the question.] S'kind of like the other name. Seems familiar, but hearing it is like nails on a chalkboard. It's like reading something that crazy blue-text bird wrote.

[action]

[yerawizarderi]

The beach does always soothe the sufferin'.

[But he does nod, agreeing with that. There's a whole network of people, with proof even of all this weird shit. It ain't so easy to shrug off like those weird ass Ancient Alien shows, or Ghost Hunters, and god knows what other rubbish shows that handle supernatural shit like this.]

Oh believe me, there ain't nothin' that's gonna scar up my perfect face. Even if I still think your scars look fuckin' awesome. But, it's possible we were? Didn't know reincarnation stayed true to families, the more you know, right?

[He hmms, over that explanation though. Eventually shrugging.]

Maybe it's a name from your past-life. Or, well clearly it is, but who knows to what significance it is. How weird. [He pauses a moment.] Oh, it may help, that I don't think I was called Orphaner Dualscar... What I remember is--god this is kinda embarrassin'--I used to roleplay as Orphaner Dualscar. So, I dunno who he really even is.

[action]

[dadscar]

I suppose there's no evidence to support the fact that we were family back then, it's just one of the many things that hardly seems like it could be a coincidence.

[He really needs to stop lawyering this out and let it happen.

When Eri says that name so many times, he can't help sitting up and drawing in a deep breath. It's so goddamn familiar, like he might as well be calling him dad. The rest of what he's said partly goes over his head as he buries it in his hands.]

I think he was me. [His voice is quiet, even though it's obvious it's just kind of damn hard to admit outloud.] How does your friend know the name Mindfang?

[action]

[yerawizarderi]

I agree. I suppose we'll have to wait and see what we remember as time goes on.

[Alright, but if Orphaner Dualscar is his dad, then why was it his past life self roleplayed as him? That seems a little... weird.]

I don't know her relation? Maybe she's Mindfang? But that don't make much sense, when she says she's Vriska. Maybe Mindfang an' Vriska got a similar relation like Dualscar and whoever my past life self was did?

[She had said the name in a way that makes him believe she might not BE Mindfang, but then again who knows. Octavia's kind of odd.]
