Ah, the Rosencrantzes and Guildensterns...

Yeah, you ever see Travelers? That Netflix show where Will Truman [of Will and Grace] (and thousands of others) gets their mind overridden by people from the future?

Yeah, it's not quite that thorough. There are some glitches with it. I've known a number of them. I have to say, not really a fan of the process. I feel it's a bit unethical. Some poor sap gets demonized and then overwritten. Ugh.

However, if that were the case for Tom, he wouldn't remember much of his past, except as nightmares/dreams. He's sort of experiencing the reverse of that...more like "Tom" was imprinted on Orcus....or Tom's past life memory is stored on bio-floppy disks that are slow to load.

And there are a few other possibilities that I could mention after you overhear certain things in Book IV but...

Now, don't tell them, because I really like both Tom and Rupert, but both are bit ugly to be my children...no offense...but you have to admit they are missing some limbs--clearly off putting. Reggie on the other hand, is mildly attractive, he's only partially debilitated, missing a pair of legs, but fine on the arm front.

Good point! They aren't very masculine.

I have to admit, I've really had trouble finding a suitable lover that I could love completely at one time. Generally, my best luck has been with Denubian chicks. But they can be a lot of work to satisfy, because two is never enough for them, since they can have as many lady parts as they want.

Of course, I have yet to figure out the difference between Denubian males and females, in fact I've been surprised on a couple occasions, things just suddenly "pop up"
