Chapter 50; Text; Backdated to 11/28 morning

[tentacletrainer]

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.

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

Best distraction I've found is by training yourself.

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?

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.

[vulpesvivus]

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

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

[leftinbasketforfbi]

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?

[heartdive]

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.

[...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.]
