Video | How much do these suppers cost? We'll take them out in hate.

[comparative_insanity]

 [At first the camera doesn't show Fay, since he hovers out of view for a moment, to the left judging by his voice.]

Ah, so... Something a bit unpleasant happened a while ago while I was helping out a friend here on the network. That is to say, not in the actual helping out - though it got a bit dramatic there for a moment - but I got another of those pulse-thingies back.

[An off-screen sigh, and then Fay sits down in front of the camera. Notice anything different? Well, probably if you've ever seen him before. He's wearing some cloth over his left eye.]

Or rather, one of those pulse-thingies took something from me. My eye, to be precise.

[He's still smiling, but it's clearly more a reflex than anything, because he certainly doesn't look happy.]

The vampire thing seems to compensate a bit for the loss, but I'm still not jumping for joy, you know? I should've expected it, considering I remember someone eating it, but... well, it's not the sort of thing you can prepare for.

So I'm just wondering... I mean, the whole point with these things has seemed to me that we're still supposed to get things we didn't have before, not... lose things that are kind of useful to have, right? So has this happened to anyone else?

Wait wait, someone ATE past you's eye and remembering that took it out? That's fucked up!

[Voice]

[comparative_insanity]

Nooope, that's the weird part. The memory came first, and it was just... a memory, albeit a very nasty one. But then I ran into one of those giant snakes and bam, no eye. Thankfully I didn't have to feel it get eaten, but it still wasn't pleasant. [No, there had been a lot of throwin up.]

[shiromadoushi]

Somehow that's even worse....

[Voice]

[comparative_insanity]

You telling me? At least if it had happened all at once, I would probably have been too passed out to throw up. Both times. [No seriously, twice the trauma.]

[VIDEO]

[keywarding]

You lost your eye? Are you okay? [No Holly of course he's not alright! Ahh idiot.] Do you need anything?

[VIDEO]

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I ain't in pain or anything. [He smiles tiredly and stops himself from answering her last question with "My eye back" because that would be mean and she's just being nice.] I'm fine really - or I'm going to be. It's just a bit scary when something like this happens. [Understatement, this is thy face.]

[keywarding]

I bet! Do you need help with lunches or anything? My brother can barely brush his teeth without his glasses I can't imagine doing something without an eye.

[comparative_insanity]

[Oh no, but she's such a sweetheart, help.] That's very sweet of you, but I have someone cooking for me and fussing over me almost more than necessary. [Seriously, Youou is the hugest mother hen.] I'm grateful people want to help, though. In the beginning I tripped over things a lot. [Seriously, fuck impaired depth perception.]

That is fuuuuuucked up

voice (because seriously his spelling sucks)

[comparative_insanity]

Fucked up and gross as shit. I'm hoping to hell the eye eater person will never turn up here.

[No, just his incarnation in another life and therefore exact doppleganger.]

[dragon_blossom]

Haha someone eating it

if they show up we should all just beat them up

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I mean... they might be a really nice person in this life, even if they were scary and gross before, right? So we should probably just be prepared to beat them up if they seem like they wanna make a snack of someone's body parts.

Now you have me thinking if I'm going to be losing body parts next.

How's your sight? Having lost half of your vision has got to be wonky for you.

Voice

[comparative_insanity]

Hopefully it won't be a trend. Especially if it involves eyes getting eaten.

[A wry little laugh, which is followed by a sigh.]

My depth perception went there for a while, I kept walking into things. But I think since my vision was already better than a human's, that's compensating for it.

Voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I'd really rather not. [Fil sounds really uncomfortable here, like he's about to throw up.] Though I guess you don't really get a choice when you get these memories and ... body parts back or disappeared.

I'm glad it's not interfering too much with your daily life. If I suddenly lost an eye I don't think I'll be able to do my job any more.

Voice

[comparative_insanity]

[Fay can't exactly blame him, considering that thinking about it still makes him dry-heave.] No, we ain't exactly been asked if we felt like getting hit with all of this. So I guess we just got to make the best of it.

[He makes a sour little noise.] It ain't interfering as such, but my job kind of involves looking pretty, so it was a bit of a drag to have to go there with a damn patch on my eye. You don't wanna know what it looks like underneath. [Not as hideous as he makes it out. There's some rather neat scarring there, and mostly it just looks sunken.]

[Voice]

[dododo]

Not aside from ... basically losing your humanity, I haven't seen anyone lose anything.

[Voice]

[comparative_insanity]

Well, the humanity part wasn't so bad for me. I mean, it hurt, but at least it involved gaining things instead of losing them. But I suppose that varies depending on what kind of non-human someone is.

[Voice]

[dododo]

I think it does. Different perspective than from, say, the zombies.

Ew! Who would want to eat an eye?! That's just not right!

Man, I'm really hoping that you don't lose any other body parts or something!

Voice;

[comparative_insanity]

Someone who wanted to take that eye for themselves, I think? Like, my eye replaced his, fucked-up as it sounds.

And so far I don't remember anything else like that, so hopefully that - and the rest of me - ain't on the menu.

Voice;

[sjokolade]

But that's just....so gross! And just....something right out of a horror movie! But even then, horror movies know that you shouldn't just take it and eat it! That's just a whole another level! Even for zombie movies!

Just...no!

[If he could hear very clearly, he can hear the shudders from her voice. Major do not want!]

Sooo...then do you remember anything else from your past life? I mean, I doubt that after that...yyeaaahhh....he'll be a little more cautious?

It hurt like a bitch when it happened and I threw up a lot, but the boyfriend got me home and basically marinated me in tea and pain killers, so I'm pretty fine now.

Gonna take a while to get used to, and it sure as hell ain't pretty, but that's it.
