27 traps filled with new memories

[ectobabble]

[… "MARSHMALLOW. Now wake up, before your day gets any worse!"

There were stranger words to hear right before regaining consciousness, but Ray was at least pretty sure that now was NOT the time to be thinking of them. as he opened his eyes, instead of emptying his mind, he filled it as far as it could go. marshmallow marshmallow marshmallow marshmallow marshm--

the stone altar was a lot more comfortable than he remembered. and this didn't look like Central Park West.

and the people around him didn't look a thing like Idulnas ....

it was all a trick, had to be. Raymond Stantz, chosen Selector of Gozer, forced his mind back on track and uttered the only word he dared, as he glanced around the clinic.]

Marshmallows.

((OOC: And with that, Ray is canonbumped! Clearly, this is open to the clinic, but it's open over the journals, too!))

....What the damn hell are you talkin' about?

[And he does, frowning. That wasn't there when he came to visit before.]

Think those damn lobsters messed with your fuckin' head, too.

[ectobabble]

[lobsters. the thought flashes across his mind, but before he can flip out about losing his focus -- wait]

That was three years ago. Why would you be making me hallucinate all of that?

[squirrelhunter]

...Yep, definately fucked up your brain, doc. Hell, it ain't barely been a week.

[he stops and, for the first time since he woke up, honestly allows himself to think. why would Idulnas be making him hallucinate everyone from Paradisa to convince him to change the Destructor form? for the most part, he has closer ties with the gang. and even then -- he barely knows Crossbow Guy, doesn't even know his name, because he never caught it --

but why does he still remember him SO CLEARLY after three --

and this is the clinic ... the clinic ... and that memory of being bitten in the hallway is so clear, so vivid --]

[his eyes widen and he sits bolt upright]

OhmyGod.

I think I just had a legitimate out-of-body transdimensional temporal consciousness shift!

[squirrelhunter]

[Blank stare, Ray.]

What?

[ectobabble]

..... oh. [right. non-science words for the straights, as Pete would say] … I went home! I mean, my mind did, but my body stayed here! It's incredible!

[squirrelhunter]

...

[Yeeeeah, you sound crazy.]

I'll stick with my reasonin' of you bein' brain-fucked.

[ectobabble]

No, listen, I swear I'm not crazy. I've heard of this happening to people here in Paradisa, I'd just never experienced it for myself ...! This is great! .... Who's on call? I gotta see if I can get an MRI or something!

[squirrelhunter]

[blank stare.]

The fuck'm I s'posed t'know? I just got here.
