I really ought to stop goofing around with keeping track of people and actually set up a database or little black book or something.
The thing is, there's someone I'm looking for. I'm following them here on Mastodon. I forget their name on here, but remember other names. I have no way of easily looking it up.
I have a lot of memory issues and other mental problems. Time too. Everybody I know, I feel like I've always known you. Very few people I remember meeting. They're just a part of my life.
If I can't do it in my head, I should use tools, but I'm not sure what I should use.
Oh, the person I was looking for was @zebratron2084 so I did find them. They were one of the first people I followed on Mastodon so they're near the bottom of my follow list. But, it could have been a lot of folks, not sure who or where. I really need to do something more, especially now.
@relee You spotted my cohost, right? (@commonplace)
@zebratron2084 Well I did also see that yes, but I don't have one, and when I looked at yours it seemed to only have three posts. Is that right?
@relee Yup! It's brand new, just got approved recently! I don't think I'm likely to ever bother with private posts there.
@zebratron2084 That's very cool. ^.^
I was trying to find your Masto again because I saw you mention on FA you've been 2.0ing your various characters and fursonae and I was hoping to find more info, or just ask.
How's that going? I wanna hear about them all, but I don't know if you wanna tell me or not. XD
@relee I've really mostly only been playing with the idea in my head, only a couple of them even have 2.0 concepts yet!
Mainly Kirschbaer (the jelloborg mad science raccoon) and Kincaid so far. I'd try to explain where they're headed but... hmm... are you at all familiar with Neon Genesis Evangelion? O:)
@zebratron2084 I'm pretty familiar I guess? I haven't seen the remake or the extended content, but I watched the whole original anime and the alt ending film.
I also have the bizzarely specific range of skills and interests and even did back then to understand both the technical scifi elements and the occult elements to a point I actually understood what was going on and why. ^.^;;
I'm a little proud of it actually...
I do want to hear about your thoughts and interests and everything.
dragon! (long)
@relee Few do! They're my only dragon sona, mostly reserved for interacting with Peg at home.
So... the name "Enmerkar" is taken from an ancient Sumerian king. Enmerkar claims they're from the original Library of Babel... which is true, actually, but they were hatched by the monks who staff it sometime in the late 1500s, from an egg found in their rare artifacts collection.
Incidentally, the version of the Library they're from is the same one from https://sites.evergreen.edu/politicalshakespeares/wp-content/uploads/sites/226/2015/12/Borges-The-Library-of-Babel.pdf
Basically they're an introverted stoner and scholar/sage, a friendly charlatan who knows a lot about some very sketchy magical and historical subjects but would rather be left out of anything dangerous. This of course makes them a karmic disaster waiting to happen.
One of their quirks: they're asymmetrical, with mismatched horns. They's also distinguished by the absolutely terrible efficacy of their breath weapon. It's acid, but they don't practice with it or exercise their connection to the Elemental Plane Of Low pH very often... so it tends to come out as a dilute spray of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. 🤷
re: dragon! (long)
@relee So, have you ever seen Pulp Fiction? Basically Enmerkar is the ancient dragon scholar version of the drug dealer friend that Vincent and Jules go to after... the very bad spoilery thing they accidentally do... to get help cleaning up.
Enmerkar is that weird nervous hippie friend of yours standing there with his hands thrust in the pockets of his bathrobe going, "OK, man, but you all better be outta here before my wife gets home," desperately wishing he'd never gotten wrapped up in whatever the hell it is you went and did. :)
@zebratron2084 That's pretty heccin' interesting. XD
I'd describe it in order to confirm I understand but that would spoil Eva. :P
I also wanna ask who is Enmerkar because I don't think I know that you yet?
