Science has come such a long way since then, and so has our ability to understand the supposedly impossible. "Mass hallucination" was a catch-call term for something no one could put a concrete answer to. It doesn't mean it didn't exist, it just meant that no one could explain it, and therefore everyone refused to acknowledge it. Humans are rather stupid that way.<br /><br />You wanna know why we all believed you when you explained about Conduits and Revenants? <br /><br />Because, after being stalked and chased and hunted down by some humanoid abomination from another universe with no face, tentacles, and fucking mind powers, the idea of superpowered <i>humans</i> wasn't really much of a stretch. In fact, it was kind of a step <i>back</i> in terms of incredulity. We believed you because it made <i>sense</i>. <br /><br />More sense than some quack from the sixties calling himself a doctor, anyway.Hakurei Ryuuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806680039667637538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732599415793018949.post-89647495016025702432011-03-20T02:24:24.041+00:002011-03-20T02:24:24.041+00:00@ Reach And then I remembered the bastard broke my...@ Reach And then I remembered the bastard broke my wrist. Moriarty/Greene was never particularly strong to begin with, at least when I first encountered him. There is simply no way that Moriarty could have gotten strong enough to do the things that he could have done. Trust me, I've seen him do <i>inhuman</i> things...<br /><br />Also, you talk a lot about the "memories coming back," Did it <i>ever</i> occur to you that Slender Man could be screwing with your mind, so that your resolve would break down, causing Him to get Ava easier? Because trust me, you are the only one standing in His way. Now, snap the fuck out of it, because if you don't, He'll come to get her.<br /><br />One last thing. You've just recently become human again; you're still dealing with human emotions. Don't you think <i>that</i> could hold some sway over what you're thinking right now?
