well, I guess that settles it... you know, there's a point where denial isn't worth it anymore （＾。＾；） for those who don't know much about Japanese history (like me), this is a Shinsengumi haori, because apparently I really am a century old samurai? except probably an alternate universe one or something. it's weird. either that or my old memories were from a really dedicated historical reenactor w serious delusions also, MY EYES ARE PURPLE NOW. so that's a thing ◔_◔ I guess I get to join the club of other people who have to pretend to be wearing contacts all the time oh! I guess I was also going to ask, how many here have memories that are like... normal, I guess? (‘◇’) well obviously memories of 1860s Japan is weird, but what I mean is that there's nothing supernatural about them. well almost... there's one that seems different. but the rest of them have no super powers, no monsters, nothing like that. it just looks like the past.

The more I talk to people around here, it seems that being a capable fighter is in their previous background. It is an odd coincidence. Though, if "completely normal" also means "chopping off heads", then I suppose history classes should be more interesting.

Funny...

The more I think about it, wearing that haori with your new-found eyes would be quite striking.

The blood as well.

yes I've also noticed this
most people seem to come from rather dramatic backgrounds regardless of other differences between memories
and well, completely normal for a samurai belonging to a rather controversial military faction (^^ゞ

memories aside though I think I will avoid getting covered in blood, personally
honestly I get queasy at the sight of it

[ascatic]

Ha!
Well, normal can be different things.
I am in no position to judge you regardless.

Being covered in blood...
It sounds disgusting.
Not to mention it would leave quite the scene wherever you might go.

it's kind of hard to find a baseline for "normal" when the fruit is weird and the sky is dark and monsters have a habit of appearing

it really is... I've thrown up after getting new memories before, it's not a trend I'd like to continue

[ascatic]

Yes, the weird fruit... not so much the monsters. I am not sure if I can tell which is more dangerous or ominous.

If your memories come at about the same time, you could always prepare for it. Perhaps find a way to keep your stomach from turning upside-down, or do something to keep yourself relaxed...

[spes_phthisica]

I mean even if I definitely prefer weird happenings that aren't actually dangerous somehow
that doesn't mean that all the more random uncanny valley things are pleasant

mostly they just come out of nowhere, whenever something similar happens, you know?
though I guess I should prepare myself for the ones that appear as dreams

[ascatic]

Dreams... I have had one recently. It has troubled me to some degree, but not to the point where I have stopped my daily activities.

I hope that all of mine will be as such. Easier to think about them there, than interrupt something important.

I suppose I will see how that goes as time passes.

But I hope you will find some relief in the form of sleep, instead of being shocked while awake.
