I've been seeing a sword. I have no idea why someone should be leaving it near me--it's almost as though they're following me around with it. But I can't think who would do that.

touch it.
whatever it is you keep seeing, touch it.
tell us what it does.

[strength_of_will]

Did you see anything weird when you touched it?

[strength_of_will]

Why? What does it matter to you what I saw?

always anon

[solitarysoul]

i don't care about the details. you saw another life, right? not here in aldrip.

[garbagecanned]

yeah it sucks i was gonna get something from there
u finding the weird stuff too?

[baldrshand]

[There's a pause before this reply.]

Yes. Yes I did. Like a part of a dream, but terribly clear.

You have experienced the same?

also forever anon

[strength_of_will]

I don't know what I saw.

Something about undead and demons and foreign gods. Then something else about being forced to work somewhere. Complete rubbish.

[solitarysoul]

so yes.

thanks.

[strength_of_will]

Hey hey, you can't just say that and not explain why you want to know.

Spill.

[solitarysoul]

isn't it obvious?

i had them too.

[strength_of_will]

I saw a couple of things but I'm trying to ignore them.

I touched one and it gave me weird visions. I don't have so much free time that I can spend it hallucinating.

[strength_of_will]

Something like that I guess.

I touched two. Felt like the first one was taunting me. Like all I have to look forward to is being a criminal.

The second was the exact opposite.

[strength_of_will]

Okay but what did YOU see?

[solitarysoul]

war

[garbagecanned]

[hmmm...]

what if theyre something important tho
would we be seeing them if they werent

[strength_of_will]

You want to trust the visions that some weird thing you picked up off the ground shows you?

If they were really that important then we'd see something that makes sense.

[strength_of_will]

War? Don't be silly, there's no such thing.

[ Not in this Perfect World (TM) of theirs. ]

[solitarysoul]

[There is no response. He doesn't feel like going into it and that might somehow give himself away.]

[strength_of_will]

[ After a while of no response from them, he follows up: ]

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I didn't believe you. I saw fighting in mine as well.

[baldrshand]

Opposite... how, exactly? As though it was showing you two different parts of your future? Or past?

[garbagecanned]

maybe
im not saying i trust them
im just saying we shouldnt discount them

[strength_of_will]

Completely different. In one I'm a prisoner stuck helping with something. In the other, I have some kind of blessed life being raised by the undead.

[strength_of_will]

What have you seen then?

[baldrshand]

I hate to say it, but if I had to guess I would say that the first one sounds much more plausible than the second. The dead don't come back to life--and I certainly can't imagine them raising children.
