Chapter 50; Text; Backdated to 11/28 morning

I have two questions for you.
Does anyone else have...strange, vivid recollections of things that happened over the weekend, but no physical proof when there should be?
Such as, say, someone very important to you that you hadn't seen in years, giving you something very important to them to keep close and then...waking up with both them and this item missing?

My second question.
How do you distract yourself when your usual methods are not working and you really, really wish they would?
I thought knitting would do the trick as usual, but though I've finished many of my projects, it's far too mindless.
Definitely not doing the job.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

yes.

[Apparently that's all there is to say on the matter. Talkative today, isn't he?]

[[That's okay. She's not exactly miss chatterbox either.]]

I'm glad I'm not the only one then.
Do you
Mm.
What all do you remember exactly?

What if we have physical proof?

What sorts of physical proof?
If you don't mind my asking.

Your grandfather?
Interesting.
How was it, visiting with him?

i took some video over the weekend so there's your proof for ya

except most of it's all staticy which is REALLY irritating!

Edited 2012-12-01 02:40 (UTC)

That surprises me less than I assumed it would.
Perhaps you could take it to a professional to see if they can salvage any of it?

Yeah. I saw Karkat as a troll. Gray skin, horns and sharp teeth.

Best distraction I've found is by training yourself.

Dashing, wasn't he?
Hm.
You're the second person to suggest this. There must be some stock behind it.

I got to meet a best friend and ive caught pokemon that arent even indigenous to violet city.
Meeting up with him was nice at least.

Have you tried reading? Or perhaps hash out ideas for your own story?

That really must have been wonderful.
Meeting with people who are close to you is always nice.
I've tried both, yes.
I'm an avid writer and an even more so reader, but neither of those seem to be helping much either.

I tend to try just applying them harder.

[[The question resonated with Page, and she found herself drawn to answer.]]

Throwing myself into my work tends to do the trick.

Edited 2012-12-01 10:08 (UTC)

What sorts of work do you do?

I usually take apart the nearest mechanical things and put them back together.

...I seem to be doing that a lot today.

While that would be an interesting excursion, I'm not positive I would be able to put it back together.

It sounds like perhaps you aren't overjoyed with what happened over the weekend either, are you.

Yes.

[Yeah, no, he's not going to elaborate without prompting.]

Usually, when I want to forget something, I throw myself into my work. If that doesn't work, I talk to someone I really trust.

If something mindless isn't doing it for you, why don't you do something that requires a lot of thought?

[[Oh. First filtered text regarding this matter. She has to wonder if he's in a bit of a bad way over this entire ordeal.]]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I'm going to hazard a guess that you are none too happy about it.

Work certainly sounds like a viable option, but I'm not sure if I want to interact so much with people just yet.
That second option should honestly have been an obvious one to me, considering how often I advise people to do the same.
Go me.
Something that requires a lot of thought...hm.

I kind of have proof...

The Abra that I was dreaming about was still with me and I know I didn't catch one myself.

Mmm, I've heard of a few people who have also come into possession of new companions.
Curious.
I wonder what made them stay with trainers?
Or why the trainers would have no recollection of catching them...

i remember some weird stuff but its what i dont remember that weirds me out
whod you run into and lose again?
i mean if its not too pry-y to ask about it

i usually just drink until i blackout
rarely doesnt do the trick
not rly recommeding that btw just saying

It's a little strange not remembering.
Especially when ending up in a different location than where you began and not knowing how.
And just...
Well.
My mother.
So essentially, you.

You know, it's strangely comforting to hear that.
Though I don't believe I will be trying that just yet.
At least not until I know the legal drinking age here in Johto.

[...man, he's still pretty buttmad over losing to this girl who turned out not to be a complete training prodigy after all (as... well as various other things he has vivid memories of) but he's still interested in this on the basis of science (and science should help him get his mind off things, anyway, although he may actually be having the same problem she brought up in her second question...)

...should he suck it up and deal

...it's text he can try]

I do, yes. I can't say that I received any items that I lost upon waking up, but I do have memories that I don't think could be explained away by assuming it was some sort of dream.

[...as... much as he wants all of it to be, while some parts of it were extremely bizarre, it didn't have the same feeling a dream does.]

[[She will genuinely appreciate the attempt at least!]]

Ah, I've memories of that as well.
The most frivolous being magical hair.
I don't suppose any of yours would be as magical and fairytale-esque, would they?
