[Hector had one of those literal 'catapulting out of bed' nightmares, something powerful that won't stay down, friends screaming.... It takes a while for him to work up the nerve to ask, but when he does - he tries to put on a detached air, but it's clear from the look in his eyes that he's been shaken pretty badly]

Uh - does anyone know anything about some sort of... ugly, blue creatures? That... Sorry, just. trying to. make. sense of -

*What. WHAT.

He hadn't wanted to admit the possibility that his latest memory is wrong, but.*

Big, blue, vaguely humanoid, chases you around a mansion? That sort of thing?

[halfgod_allego]

Ye-...yeah, guess I'm not crazy after all.

[all_onis_are_true]

SOMETHING'S crazy, anyway. There's only one person who should remember that sort of thing at all, and it's ME.

[halfgod_allego]

Why would you say that...? Those memories feel pretty real to me.

[all_onis_are_true]

Well that's...

*Damnit. He looks around, then hits a few buttons and secures things.*

[PRIVATE]

Look. Just between you and me, I've been remembering that exact situation. Many times, with a bunch of different variations. You probably ran into the thing the first time in a library, right? And had to deal with one of them eating a rope ladder?

[private]

[halfgod_allego]

yeah... something like that. Creepy bastards.

Re: [private]

[all_onis_are_true]

Damnit. Then it's true. Memories are getting mixed up somehow.

...sorry you had to go through it. Did everybody live in this iteration?

*He makes a mental note to write down as much of the medical knowledge as he can.*

[has_a_blog]

Oh, those things.

[halfgod_allego]

You know about them?

[has_a_blog]

They're a super big pain in the ass. They were running all over the place a while ago.

[trustycrowbar]

[Aw, HELL.]

...Ugly, blue creatures? I think we fought some of those things off a little while ago.

[halfgod_allego]

Yeah - they, ugh - they killed couple other kids I knew.

[trustycrowbar]

...I think you may want to talk to Hiroshi about this. I get the feeling you two'll have a lot in common.

[Why does he feel so lousy doing this? Oh yeah. Because it falsifies one of the few not-awful sets of memories that kid has. Great.]

[stinglikeabat]

That sounds familiar! Big heads, even bigger creepy eyes, like to run around and kill people? That kind of ugly blue creature?

[halfgod_allego]

Yes! That's exactly it!

[stinglikeabat]

They sound a lot like the Oni we had to fight off a while back! Hiroshi's the expert.

...This had better not be foreshadowing! I've had enough of those things to last me a lifetime!

[canthandleacape]

You'll have to be more specific than that, buddy.

Re: [video]

[halfgod_allego]

They got huge heads, and are attacking... eating people? I was more concerned with running and hiding to make out too much more.
