text. | hello, is it me you're looking for?

[ex_question191]

So we're all up in each other's heads, which blows, obviously. I feel like I'm ten people right now, and I have no idea who half those ten people are. I was gonna ask around, try and figure it out, but I have a better idea.

[ for a certain definition of "better". ]

Presenting, The Tranquility's Freaky Memory Swap Directory.

Here's how it works: you drop the details of stuff that doesn't belong in your brain. You know, names, places, events, incriminating secrets. Then comb through what other people leave and work out who got all your dirty laundry so you can bribe or threaten them into silence. Got it? Great.

(( i won't be back to this post for a few hours for any tags meant specifically for stiles, but i turned comment emailing off so tag each other!!! you are welcome to ignore the form.))

This seems a little invasive.

Respectfully, I really don't think that's a good idea.

[He doesn't mean it respectfully. This is how you make this situation worse, Stiles.]

[ex_question191]

Because right now our thoughts and feelings are totally private.

Something to hide, lil anon buddy?

[chuffle]

Yeah but at least it's sort of...between people.

[ryuuzaki]

Doesn't everyone have something to hide?

My name is: Rose Lalonde
Seeking: Various.
Do these names mean anything to you? This makes it too easy.
I know about your: What don't I know, at this point? That thing you did that one time? You know, the thing you always wanted to keep secret? I know about it now. Your deepest, Freudian desires are mine to peruse.

Unconscionable.

If this is a human "joke" it is not very amusing. There are not even any corpses.

What is a "Freudian"?

[seered]

In that case, I'd hate to be on the wrong end of one of your "jokes", if your sense of humor involves corpses.

Sigmund Freud was a human neurologist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who pioneered a clinical method called psychoanalysis. Much of what he theorized has since been disproved, but I find that invoking his name still has the potential to make people squirm.

[ancientalien]

If you make light of other's darkness you may find more corpses in your future.

I see. Your attempts to provoke a response are irrational. What is the point in making someone who is not your enemy squirm?

[seered]

Careful, you don't want someone to mistake that as a threat.

My apologies, however. I only meant to make light of what is clearly a difficult situation for many of us. Are you unaccustomed to sarcasm as a defense mechanism? Or perhaps the overall effect was lost through text.

[ancientalien]

I do not make threats.

I have noticed a human tendency towards sarcasm. Primarily in the Joker pilot. I find it to be a waste of time. Highly irritating.

The text does not help.

[seered]

Fair enough. You seem more like a man/woman/sentient life form of action, anyway. I believe we got off on the wrong foot. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?

[ancientalien]

Javik. I am Prothean. You do not wish to find the source of these memories?

[seered]

I must admit I'm unfamiliar, but I suppose that's only to be expected, given the multitude of universes we all seem to come from.

I would, eventually. At the moment I find the experience intriguing.

oops jkjk

My name is: wichita
Seeking:
male, pretty sure. you're still in high school, you can hear heartbeats, you've got a lot of feelings. you use your hands when you run but it doesn't feel as stupid as i thought it would, thinking back on it. you've never killed anyone, you're not an "alpha". apparently you're popular with the guys. i guess. i've got a few different glimpses of things so here we go.

Do these names mean anything to you? 
some dude that was an "omega" before someone i'm choosing to call "grandpa scary" decided to chop him in two with a fucking sword. some guy with stubble made you watch because it proves why you need each other. you weren't into that, and i don't think you're too into stubble either.

some creep named "deucalion", who wants you in his "pack" but he also wants you dead because he's obsessed with you or something.

i don't know the name of the psychologist you were talking to but she needs practice not sounding so sexual when she's talking about human sacrifices. gonna call her "dr. stop-giving-me-sex-eyes-while-talking-about-murder-i'm-probably-jailbait".

I know about your: dangerous, kinky lifestyle. and i know you're not interested but you should go for the true alpha thing it sounds badass.

[ancientalien]

I do not find it that interesting. Among my people reading memories like this was a natural sense. I do not appreciate not being given a choice.

1/2 not here YET...

[ he was totally going to post some vague memories as a show of support for stiles' experiment, but um

???????????????

hang on for a minute or like forever while he figures out how to respond. ]

[ so going with text or trying to hide his identity in any way shape or form is completely counterproductive (and pointless). his priority isn't really keeping her out of his business, anyway - too late for that.

besides, this isn't the kind of discussion he wants to leave to ambiguous tone. his cover's blown, whatever. he's more concerned about everyone else. ]

You didn't hear any other names?

[ he still sounds cautious and intensely bemused, but he doesn't sound particularly hostile. ]

[seered]

I'm not sure anyone does. I also don't agree that a public forum is the appropriate place to post personal advertisements--for lack of a better phrase, especially when the contents of said advertisements might contain private information.

Hence my earlier sarcasm.

[ thinking..... thinking..... ]

No. I mean, I only remembered details from those two events, and I couldn't even tell you where I was in the besides 'the woods' and 'a high school'. Nobody was really throwing names around.

[ browquirk ]

Which you'd... know? [ you sound like how she sounded in those memories, only kinda different, cause nobody sounds like they think they do over te phone. or vdeo, in this case. ] Since you lived it.

[ancientalien]

It is pointless.

[ex_question191]

What was that? Something to say?

[seered]

So you've said. What do you plan to do?
