I was thinking

If these bastards take our memories again, we're never going to find a way out of there.

I forgot who I really was, and I'm not letting it happen again.

So I'm going to write down everything. I'll make sure that if I wake up thinking I'm actually from 1961, I'll have all these notes telling me the truth
I'm not going to believe anyone but myself anyway

Just saying

maybe this could be a good idea

Something like that is certainly worth a try. I tend to journal my own thoughts and findings every day, as I'm able.

What I wonder is whether, in whatever mental state we might find ourselves in, we might be able to recognize these writings as our own? Maybe they'd just seem like some silly fantasy or poor fiction to us.

[righthandstand]

What if you write it in a way that only you can get? My personality was kind of the same when I forgot who I was

and it's obviously gonna be your own handwriting. There's no way you can't recognize that

[monalisasmile]

It's possible, sure.

We don't know enough about what whoever is behind this can do to affect memory and behavior. Under the influence, so to speak, you might go so far as to violently refuse to accept even the most glaring clues.

But we'll never find out if we don't try, and I'm inclined to agree with you there.

[righthandstand]

I got nothing to do until all of my scars heal

So
Did you get any of your memory wiped yet

The idea has merit, but I get the feeling... Your perception of reality won't be the same any more.

You may not even see anything's written in the journal.

[righthandstand]

How can I not see something that exists?

[peninhand]

It exists, but when you look at it you may just see blank pages. People can be brainwashed that way.

[righthandstand]

Seriously??

How do you know all this stuff?

[Did she study neurology in university?]

[peninhand]

Oh, I'm just an avid reader. You learn lots of stuff when you read books, even if they're mostly novels!

[ Well truth to be told, she had a particular interest in psychology, but she didn't want to speak of it. ]

[righthandstand]

Most of the brainwashing stuff I've seen are from movies.

They don't have video tapes here

And the movie theater sucks.

[peninhand]

Movie brainwashing is boring.

I prefer when you get to actually see what happens in the person's mind. Movies just use weird devices as cheap ways to foster a sense of horror. You should read books sometimes, it's got only positives to it!

So you're gonna write down a bunch of stuff that's easily destroyed so when you get brainwashed again you can read it and not believe it then ball it up and put it in the trash

Great idea, Einstein

[righthandstand]

I don't see you coming up with a better idea!!

[undiagnosed]

Someone's gotta get fucked up again so we can test some of these theories out I think

[righthandstand]

That's why I was suggesting it!!

[undiagnosed]

Not your theory
Yours is dumb

[righthandstand]

What genius theory are you thinking of huh??

[undiagnosed]

Maybe video recordings
Or just not getting brainwashed in the first place?

@PAPYRUS

[spaghettimonster]

HMM... YOU MIGHT BE ONTO SOMETHING.
HAVING THINGS IN WRITING, IN CASE WE FORGET SOME THINGS.
AND I'M SURE, I'D RECOGNIZE MY OWN HANDWRITING.

BUT WRITING EVERYTHING DOWN... WHERE JUST ANYONE COULD READ IT...

[righthandstand]

What about keeping it in your closet?
Or under your bed

Or with someone else at the house? We could have a special safe just for things like this!

[spaghettimonster]

PSHH.
OKAY, I GUESS YOU DON'T HAVE A BROTHER.
BECAUSE THOSE ARE OBVIOUS PLACES TO GO LOOKING FOR SECRETS!!

[righthandstand]

[For a normal household, that makes sense.

Though Papyrus is right about another thing.]

I don't have one anymore

late tagbacks, getting back into the groove, feel free to focus on newer stuff o7

[spaghettimonster]

. . .

[There's a pause so long, two months could go by in it. Is it another blizzard outside? Because he's feeling drenched in a cold sweat - of guilt.]

OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T REALIZE.
IF! YOU NEED ANOTHER BROTHER!
PAPYRUS CAN TRY TO FILL THAT VOID FOR YOU.

[righthandstand]

Dude I barely know you

I can do just fine on my own

[spaghettimonster]

YEAH, OF COURSE.
AN OFFER FOR ANOTHER TIME!!

YOU DON'T NEED TO WRITE THIS IN YOUR MEMORY BOOK.
