Chapter 4. 25 or 6 to 4

[thebestseller]

So- a query for the esteemed residents of Edensphere. I hope it makes sense.

Is it normal to see someone or someTHING that reminds you of something, even if you don't know WHAT it reminds you of? I've experienced that sort of feeling recently, and for some reason it's really bothering me. Not even tasting like whipped cream can make up for it.

[[LATE OOC Addendum: Derrick has no idea that he also helped investigate crimes on the side in his pre-ES life, so Stoneface's murder is pinging the shit out of him for that and he has no idea why and it BUGS HIM OKAY. He won't say that directly, though.]]

That's the vaguest shit I've read all day.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I try my hardest.

[unevoked.livejournal.com]

Like something that's like that other thing that you don't know?

[live_ringer]

From what I've gathered, that's normal for most in the Sphere, chief. Felt it with a few different people and a few different circumstances since I've gotten here. I'm sort of surprised it took you this long.

Kind of good to know I'm not the only one around to taste like cream, though I seem to be of the Irish variety. Guess it's the Sphere's version of a joke.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Thanks, buddy. I know I'm not going nuts.

Man, I'd love to taste like Irish cream. Or vodka. Maybe some good Kahlua. Or something tasty like pizza.

[live_ringer]

Not any more than the rest of us, but there's no proof that we aren't all mad here.

From the way things are looking, it's quite possible somebody out there tastes like that. Gonna go licking fellow Spherians until you find the vodka, Kahlua and pizza members?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

What's Irish Cream? Or is some perverse joke I have failed to remember?

[live_ringer]

It's a liqueur involving whiskey and cream, among other ingredients.

Though yes, there are quite a few perverse jokes to be made of it.

[burnt_orangesky]

Yes, that sort of thing seems to be relatively normal, though the feelings vary in intensity from occurrence to occurrence.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Very interesting. This is my first time experiencing it, so I was curious.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, happens quite a bit here.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Good to know, thank you.

It's frustrating right now, though. This is the first time I've really cared about not having my memories.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Yeah that itchin' feelin' that somethin's just outta your reach can get to ya.

[beat-da-button.livejournal.com]

Uh...y'mean seeing somethin' and goin' 'dammit, it's familiar' but not knowin' why?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's exactly it.

[spandexisyouth]

Yes! I have had many moments where it seemed familiar!

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

So it's either common and harmless or we're all crazy! I'm leaning more toward common and harmless, though.

[spandexisyouth]

It could be both! There is no way to be sure, here!

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

I really didn't need to know what you taste like, man-twin.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Hey, everyone else was sharing, so I figured I'd join in on the party.

[sassyandpink.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's pretty normal, I think. Well, if we're thinking about the same thing, that is.

I've had a couple of conversations with people where stuff was mentioned that felt familiar, like I should know it, except I really don't.

But anyway, if that's what you mean, you're definitely not the only one. ♥

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Great to know. At least that doesn't mean that I'm crazy.

[sassyandpink.livejournal.com]

Well, if you are, then so is everyone else here.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Define "normal."


Where's your chocolate syrup and cherry-on-the-top?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

... Point. This place is miles from normal.

I'm hoping for that next time this happens.
