LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR MAX

[timelapsed]

Hey, this is Max. If you're hearing this, I guess I'm busy or something. Leave me a message, or just shoot me a text. I'll get back to you, promise.

So you don't know what caused all that? That's not good.
How r u holding up?

Not really, no. I mean, I thought I knew, but it turns out I was wrong...so I'm back at square one.

...I've had better weeks. [That's an honest enough answer]

Afraid my powers aren't much use in figuring these things out. Never paid attention to psychology lectures either.
Just make sure nobody touches any levers around you.

Ha- I know. My boyfriend suggested the same thing. Maybe I can find a way to put up a big sign there.

[Not that would've stopped people like you Max but still!! There's a pause]

Look...I should be honest. The person you saw there...he is a real person. Or whatever that thing is was posing as someone who is a real person.

And he is very dangerous, and he is connected to me. But- [Nngh giving Nea any sort of credit hurts no matter how little] I think he's more interested in his own goals than going out of his way to kill people.

k let's get this straight-
So the guy in your dream-thing isn't the actual guy, but the actual guy exists. And he is still dangerous but doesn't usually go around killing people?
And he's connected to you how exactly?

Well...

[There's a pause because wow, how do you explain this without sounding like a nutcase to someone whose near normie since he can't just say DEMON HOST and expect her to get it]

It's complicated...and even I don't understand it all myself, but-

It's like because of what he is, he has a special ability that if he ever died- he could come back to life after some time by taking over someone else's body.

Which apparently he died and decided to try that ability...with me.

Luckily the augment stops him from actually taking over, but it couldn't expel him completely, so he's just sort of...there. [Stuck in a limbo hell only known by people stuck in the DMV]

Does any of that make sense?

Wow. That's crazy. [ And sounds like something out an an anime, no offense. ]
Not to say I don't believe you. I mean I saw the guy. Even if was just dream-version.
I don't suppose there's anything I can do to help?

Text;

[save_the_souls]

Yeah. Tell me about it. [It's okay none taken, his life is flipping weird and he knows it]

Unfortunately I don't think so. I don't even know when it happened, so time traveling is out.

...I'll figure out something, besides the augment. I've already made it this long, after all.

My time powers are useless for that sort of junk anyway. I can only rewind a few minutes unless I have a photo.
But if the augment is helping, then I guess it's kind of a good thing we wound up here, huh?

I see. That's...probably for the best. I saw a movie once where this teenager went back in time, and he got hit by his mom's car- and because of that somehow it nearly made him cease to exist. Time travel seems tricky.

[Allen no...]

Mm, in that way I got lucky. These damn dreams could stop at any time though.
