Have you already had an unfortunate encounter with an unusual creature? Something that lured you in with the voice of family or friends? A thieving sepht making off with your valuables? Did something injure you? I would like to hear of it.

This is a bit more unusual, I suspect, but I would also like to hear of it if someone here from your world has memories that do not line up with your own. Not mere cases of he-said-she said, but something more... verifiable. Perhaps one of you bears a scar that the other knows should not exist?

If he is only a bit of an imbecile I have weathered worse. I shall boldly take my chances.

[tummyflowers]

By all means, of course. Though, if I can ask, have you encountered anything like this?

[courtintrigue]

[ Well, she supposes it will not hurt to share the most superficial information. ]

I met someone here who is clearly from my world but bears both a scar and title that I know belong to someone else. It is as though the person I knew was plucked from the story and replaced by another, slightly taller and less hairy.

[tummyflowers]

Wow, that's really really weird. I mean, the title I could understand, but the scar? That's just weird. You'd really have to be obsessed with someone to copy their scar too.

[courtintrigue]

A magical scar, no less. One of a kind. Misguided idol worship seems unlikely despite the great number of fools in the world.

[tummyflowers]

So this original other person with the magical scar, does the shorter balder one know him? Maybe they're in a club together?

[courtintrigue]

Where, I wonder, would they sign up for this order of reluctantly-made heroes nearly killed by highly unusual magical accidents. One hopes they would not pay coin for such a dubious privilege.

I would ask the dwarf if he somehow knows this elven counterpart, if I could. Meanwhile the elf has knowledge of me that he should not, as though I confided in him.

[tummyflowers]

Wow, that is really, really awkward. I'm just imagining it now.
What if someone took one of my friends, replaced them with an entirely different person and...

Oh yes, I've got a vivid image of it now. Really, really uncomfortable. What gives him the right?

[ Text does not always convey the amount of sarcasm a person might find necessary. She feels a little skeptical but chooses to take this at face value. ]

What indeed.

I am uncertain that any of it is his fault, though it strains courtesy.

It unsettles. But I will grant that he will make a useful ally should dragons attack.

[tummyflowers]

[There is painfully a complete lack of sarcasm here.]

Oh, dragons. Lot of problems with them, are there?
