[ Wow that's an even longer period than her, potentially? She blinks at that and just... admitting you ate naziss. In the end though, well, "its important," so... ]

I do, but I'm not sure how long, necessarily.

[lesinset]

[ It's a weird memory to him and one he wasn't sure how to address. Hence the passe sounding text since it's a little too weird. The whole eating people that is, though this was the first memory about that.

Also Tarr and his texting style is very barebones as in he doesn't believe in punctuation.]

really
you havent had a start point at all
im pretty sure the fishing village was the earliest
since its the only one with daylight

[matchbreaker]

No, I know the beginning and I know where it went from there, but I don't know the precise timeline. At one point, I bragged out loud that I'd be awake for a "millenia or two" but I also know for certain she was joking at the time.

[ . . . ]

It began in northern France but the majority of her life was spent in Japan.

Daylight?

[lesinset]

no clues at all huh
thats kinda rude of the memories

most of the memories are at night
not that it bothered past me much
his vision is pretty good at night
but the one fishing village one
he was watching the sunset
its the only time ive seen sunlight in his memories

i even have a picture of a painting hes in
and its at night too

[matchbreaker]

[ Wait that's- ]

None of mine have ever been during the day.

I know when she was in Europe it was before the 20th century, most likely the 17th or before.

But more importantly-

Were you a vampire?

[lesinset]

the village was during joseon empire
that's mid1600s or so
in korea
i havent seen him go back there yet

.....one guy kept calling him a leech
but i dont know if he was
could be though if he never saw daylight

[matchbreaker]

Korea...

She was a vampire, I know that for certain. She was forced to leave her homeland when she was young and believed she was never return. I believe she didn't.

The most modern thing I've seen of hers is a Television

[lesinset]

i dont know how and why he went from korea to other places
the painting was like pirates and stuff
he's not amused in the picture

i think he had a smartphone
he was playing with it while the other guy raised the dead
then the dead got scared of him and tried hiding

[matchbreaker]

Wait like real zombies?

[lesinset]

yes
shuffling undead people
the other guy danced them to life
not my past guy just someone he knew

[matchbreaker]

That's really creepy.

And strange.

[lesinset]

it was weird
and they didn't like my past self
and he nagged me about scaring them away

[matchbreaker]

Weird.

Unethical sounding too.

So why is it important?

[lesinset]

i guess so
i dont know the whole story maybe he was
speaking to them to find out who killed them
or something
who knows

a lot of people talk about small timelines
wanted to see if there were others with longer timelines
it felt a little weird
being the only one knowing centuries
well
i think my friend does too
but his past self was calling mine leech
so
yeah

[matchbreaker]

The beginning of the timeline I know like I said begins in Europe and shes young there like 25 tops

then the rest of it I have is in Japan. I don't think she ever left after sailing there and she settled down

[lesinset]

really
why did she stay
was there a reason for her settling down there

i dont know why mine was all over
maybe he couldnt stay in one place
or there was something else

[matchbreaker]

She had a family

A husband, son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren.

[lesinset]

thats good
family is something to keep
i dont know what he had
he should have one
but i dont have any clue about it

[matchbreaker]

How do you mean should?

[lesinset]

just thinking
a man in that time usually has a family
especially if theyre the serf class

[matchbreaker]

Oh they began like that?

I guess you did say it was a fishing village

I didn't connect that.

[lesinset]

i dont remember much of the history
but i think most serf class married young
and even skilled fisherman were serfs
i think merchants were serfs too
until after the reform
idek i forget

but yes he should have had family
even though he seemed lonely

[matchbreaker]

Well to some extent it probably depends how whatever he was works.

The vampires she's a part of are born, like with live birth. They have really long life spans but are distinct from humans. So she could have a family follow her through the decades. If whatever he was wasn't like that they might not live as long

[lesinset]

im not sure how it works
i just got the first confirmation that he was one tbh
i mean leech could be used in any context
he did seem old in some things
just not slowed down or whatever people think

[matchbreaker]

Slowed down? What, you mean just getting old?
