Eric Slade:
I wish I knew.

Me:

Eric Slade:
Not in a very long time. I grew up there.

me: Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
Where exactly is "home" for you?
?: I can't really explain. I know who I "am", but I feel like I'm living someone else's life. My "home" doesn't feel like home, my name sounds unfamiliar to me.
me: I see. Could you tell me what you feel should be? Like could you tell me who you feel like you should be? Where you should be?

So the poem in the picture originally posted is from the imaginary play from the book"The King in Yellow." Apparently it's got a connection to our good ol' friend HP Lovecraft. This might be a place to start.

This might have some clues.

Noticed that someone changed a couple of pages in the last few days... might not be related. Might be helpful anyway.

Knew I remembered seeing the "King in Yellow" somewhere...

Quote:
Carcosa is a mythical city, possibly named after the medieval city of Carcassonne in southern France, whose Latin name was "Carcaso". (According to Wikipedia.) The city first appeared in Ambrose Bierce's 1891 short story, An Inhabitant of Carcosa. In 1895, it shows up in Chambers' The King in Yellow.

Later writers, including Lovecraft, also draw upon it, usually by way of Chambers.

Another ARG called "Third Realm". I don't know if it's related but contains some nice info nonetheless.
