that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel do you think a lot of pop stars go insane and start believing they're their persona?

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel there's a few guys I can think of who might have started believing their own performance, but is it a job hazard?

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel do you think if it happened to me I could sue Virgo?

Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel @TheRealCloudStrife I think some do, but I think that's why the best phase out their personas when they start to vanish into them.

Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel @TheRealCloudStrife Or why some get away from personas entirely, at least for a time.

Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel @TheRealCloudStrife Calling it a job hazard is a sharp observation. But I wouldn't risk filing suit on those charges.

Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel @TheRealCloudStrife At least not unless it really starts to trip you up & if they won't let you let go of the persona.

Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel @TheRealCloudStrife But considering how the labels tend to work, that won't be easily pulled off.

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel just don't talk to me about the label stuff right now, seriously. makes my head hurt.

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel plus, that's what my manager's here for.

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel just asked her. she says if I start to go insane that just means I'm doing it properly.

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel how'd you come across your persona? don't tell the others, but this whole asshole routine is draining.

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel I'm thinking I might become some kind of science fiction samurai with alien blood.

@TheRealCloudStrife I was intrigued by folklore and stories since I was a child, particularly tales of the Watcher Angels

	Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel
@TheRealCloudStrife They had the bravery to walk away from a dry and ordered heaven to embrace the vibrancy of earth

	Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel
@TheRealCloudStrife Just as I chose to walk away from the ordered life of my father's family

	Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel
@TheRealCloudStrife A science fiction samurai? That's quite a colorful persona

[off_the_edge]

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel A ronin, physically addicted to his own body, that body created by electriCITY...... it doesn't make sense in words.

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel when I was 10 I used to pretend I was an alien, or a hero secretly saving the world, but I think everyone did that.

@TheRealCloudStrife Mm! We've all imagined ourselves to be something bigger and brighter than our ordinary lives

	Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel
@TheRealCloudStrife It helps us to entertain the possibilities that life can offer us.

	Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel
@TheRealCloudStrife I think I used to imagine myself as a wizard, but it's been so long the memory has clouded.

[off_the_edge]

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel you're telling me about clouded memories......

that's how you'll fool 'em. @TheRealCloudStrife @moonangelsariel the past isn't really important whether you remember it or otherwise. it's about just carrying on anyway. right?

	Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel
@TheRealCloudStrife The past might be the foundation to the present, but it's not something you can dwell on.

	Sariel MacLeod @moonangelsariel
@TheRealCloudStrife No more than if you'd think too hard about the foundation of the building you live in.
