[Well... that blackout sure happened, and there are a lot of Echos coming off of that. Melissa's, up until now, have been pretty tame. No powers, no totally traumatizing memories (though she was getting the impression that that would come), nothing particularly out there. And, hell, maybe this Echo in particular wouldn't have gotten to anyone else, but in her context... she's a little freaked out.]

Has anyone gotten Echos that seem to vastly contradict each other?

[Locked to Nick and Eugen]

I HAVE FUCKING FANGS

[yeah she was not prepared for this.]

Contradict how?

[how the hell does she even put this.]

Like getting echos that would seem to say you were one thing, and then getting another that definitively states you are the exact opposite.

[hypothetically speaking.]

A very interesting life, and the attention of some powerful people. Probably at least a few wrong decisions.

[She's not even pretending, but then Naomi's never claimed any love for her other self.]

Yes.

[stopinthenameofawe]

Joy.

[she sighs before typing again] Guess we can't expect this to make any amount of sense.

[dominateartimus]

Not at all. We're lucky if these 'pulses' explain anything.

So what are you suppose to be now?
Traitor vampire? Vampire police?

Wait.
You're not allowed to bite me. [ Yes, this is clearly more important. ]

Contradict in what way? As far as I know, the echoes tend to be linked in some way, so this is news to me.

[stopinthenameofawe]

Most of them were, but one decided to screw that up.

Let's see. Once I got a memory that I lived in the '30s and then one where I lived in the '80s.

That was explained later though.

[stopinthenameofawe]

How was that explained?

I'm not sure this is in the monster hunter handbook.

[long pause.]

this hasn't happened to you right

[saviorsoul]

you're not the first one to say something like that.

[stopinthenameofawe]

So I've heard.

[onecream_fivesugar]

Not really? Except in one I'm asking for a superheroes autograph and in the other I'm pretty sure I'm a superhero myself. At least, I'm acting like one.

Does that count?

text

[stopinthenameofawe]

No, I'm pretty sure even if you were a superhero you'd still ask for autographs. [makes perfect sense to her.




also making fun of you makes her feel better.]

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh yeah I have. Not many, but the ones I do have contradict each other a LOT.

[stopinthenameofawe]

How so?

[Handwritten]

[gobybessie]

Reality tends to be contradictory.

How do they?

[Handwritten]

[stopinthenameofawe]

True enough.

I've gotten echos that say I'm one thing, and now I've got one that says I'm another. They technically aren't completely mutually exclusive, but.

Action.

[flamberge]

[Getting frisky with your girlfriend? A normal activity to engage in. Getting frisky and suddenly bleeding like crazy from your neck thanks to said girlfriend? Normal in some bdsm movies, maybe, but not so much otherwise.

Not that Karl blames Melissa at all for the bleeding or ruining of his sheets thanks to it. No one can predict what echoes they receive. The only annoying part about it is how long the bleeding took to stop. It hadn't punctured the jugular, but still got some vein or another judging by the amount of blood.

With this set of cotton-balls too red to be useful, another handful gets plucked out from the baggie and placed against the wounds. A look in his bathroom mirror begs the question of how bad a bruise this will result in. With his luck? Bad and a tad too high to hid properly.]

Action.

[stopinthenameofawe]

[Melissa left for a little while to go talk to Eugen, so she's a little more calm by the time she returns. Not a hell of a lot, though, if her uneasy posture as she leans on the doorway is an indication. ...Yeah, that's not going to be fun to hide. She doesn't envy the man.]

Hey. [pause.] I've got makeup that'll help cover it, if you want.
