001. Text // Kick it right out of frame - does it matter?

[drydrown]

You know, this may be a slightly inane question, but since apparently I'm being made to deal with the local social media conspiracy firsthand, this is hardly the stupidest thing I'm going to decide to do. At least, as far as the rest of you lot tend to tell it.

So! While we're all here and blundering our way through this holiday season – does anyone have any idea what the ratio is here for "people remembering reasonably normal lives" set against "people whose past lives were apparently some sort of weird genre-fiction mess"? If you want to describe your particular brand of genre-fiction mess, do feel free, but it's not required.

Asking for a friend, obviously. ♡

[The timing on this is perfect, he's been meaning to talk to Cumore about his memories and this makes it sound like he's remembered something. Maybe it'll be useful to Jaeger, who knows!!]

From the sound of it, most people remember bizarre things! I've spoken to a few people who have had some very strange memories, none of which sound even remotely normal!

So what sort of strange genre-fiction mess have you been remembering?

[prometheanflame]

Most of my friends recall worlds with superpowers or had plenty of adventures if they didn't. I myself was part of some sort of traveling band of men that fought monsters.

I'm not actually sure what the ratio is. 5:1, weird to normal?

I befriend monsters, if that answers your genre question. Maybe you can get a better idea of our memory demographics through internet polling.

[ ...........you know what. she wants to know if he thinks she's joking or if he's actually going to believe her. ]

i suppose it depends on what you'd call "living in an elevator".

[frostythehitman]

i haven't exactly been counting or anything but it's been like half and half for the people i've talked to

[ this is not actually true--James just thinks everyone's life is mundane compared to his garbage fire memories. That, or he's forgotten what other people have mentioned to him entirely, so therefore they must be pretty normal, right? ]

if you're counting them up yourself then i'm about half and half too
depending on what you count as "normal"

I don't know! I don't think I've remembered anything that unusual, but I can't really tell whether I'm actually "remembering" anything at all.

However, I did speak to one gentleman on this app who told me he thought there was a 90 percent chance I would end up with powers. Which is hard for me to imagine, but if it's true in the general sense, then I guess the ratio is about 9:1.

I'd say it's fifty-fifty, but I've noticed that most people end up knowing others who have similar weird or normal backgrounds.

Also, 'normal's become reeeeaaaaaallllyyyy relative in this city.

[Oh, he is so going to pull Cumore's leg.]

If you were to ask the me in my memories who was more normal, he would say his world. It isn't globular like they claim our own is.
