THE LONELY CITY - DAY 1
Steven's gone, I think I'm cured. He's been a part of my life since I was a kid, it's weird not having him around. My thoughts are quiet.

Khonshu's gone, too. And I have some sort of administrative job at City Hall. I finally have a regular life.

	Hey, you got time to write on here, you got time to help organize this schedule. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Can't a guy go to the bathroom in peace? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He can, but have you seen this schedule? I'm not going to have a spare moment for a bathroom break. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-03 02:11 am UTC (link)
	I have, that's why I'm hiding. You need an empty bottle? A bedpan? Let me grab a cup of coffee and I'll head back to your office. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I swear on Khonshu's non corporeal ass that if you bring me a bedpan, you'll have to stay in the room while I pee. GRAB ME ONE TOO, please? You will be my favorite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-03 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Hate to break it to you, but Khonshu's ass, or any other part of him, isn't around! How do you know I don't like that sort of thing. (By the way, I don't) Only if you promise me you'll take a normal bathroom break. You take your coffee black? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This sounds a lot like what happened to me. It's nice. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-02 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? What's your story? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Prescience across space and time, ancestors reaching out to me through Other Memory. It's all gone now. No visions, just me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-02 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	Visions of the past? That's spooky. What ever the Other Memory is, I don't like the sound of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kwisatzhaderac 2022-08-02 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	It's more often of the future. But here, because I am in the distant past (in relation to where I come from), everything I've seen while here counts as the past. I think. It's a lot to wrap my not quite so sharp anymore mind around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh wow, that's got to be a change for you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-03 02:20 am UTC (link)
	You're not kidding. Steven's been around since I was a kid. But he's just me, right? Only a facet of myself. We're merged, together as one. He's still around, in spirit. Right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	marc/lara kindofcroft 2022-08-03 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	I don't want to make any assumptions, but if there's a part of you that's panicking a little bit, you know that's okay, right? I can't speak on it on a professional level, but I think it's okay to think that he represents some part of you that's still there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

To be honest, I did freak out. That was earlier this morning. Working at this City Hall job has helped to distract me, but I've been having mini panic attacks throughout the day. Maybe panic attacks is too harsh a word? I don't know.

It feels more like a part of me is dead.

Thanks for checking in with me, though. This isn't something I'd want to tell everybody about.

	I know I don't know you or Steven all that well, so I apologize if I'm overstepping. I'm sorry. I can't even begin to imagine. I know it doesn't help much now, but I'm sure he'll be back at the reset. I don't think he's gone forever. Maybe find a notebook, write down your thoughts or write a couple of letters to Steven.

	The Khonshu part sounds pretty good. How are you feeling? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-03 02:07 am UTC (link)
	At the moment? Stressed because I'm working for a type A personality. Which isn't bad, necessarily. I'm not used to this kind of stress. Stress, yes, but not the political kind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	edbeard 2022-08-03 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Political stress sounds like the worst possible kind to me, but different strokes. Glad it's a break from your usual stress, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-03 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Somebody's gotta do it? Margo... you know Margo from Derleth, right? She's the mayor and she's one of those Gets Shit Done sorts. At least it's not fighting off zombie stress? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Who's Steven? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-03 02:10 am UTC (link)
	Hello, you must be new. I wrote about my condition a couple of days ago, I'm Marc. Steven is [...] a second personality my mind created to deal with trauma in my childhood. I've got something called Disassociate Identity Disorder. Well, I guess not now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nightmarequeen 2022-08-03 02:13 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, I must've missed that post on the network. Still getting used to this technology, you know. Do you miss him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	summon_the_suit 2022-08-03 02:35 am UTC (link)
	It was last week, when we were still in the Void. It's alright, there's a lot to take in, especially when you're new. You don't have smart phones where you're from? [...] A little, I guess. That's not strange, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nightmarequeen 2022-08-03 03:00 am UTC (link)
	We don't even have dumb phones. We do have sending stones, though. No, not at all. But, I'm not a good person to judge that. I've been told I'm a bit strange. (Reply to this) (Parent)
