Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

yknow, i've been thinking a lot

and what i wanna know is: how would "past you" go about handling a situation like this, you adorable concerned citizens brigade? maybe we've been going about this ALL the wrong way, and we need to embrace the people inside us to turn this titanic around!

it's important to BE YOURSELF, right? maybe that's advice we just gotta take to heart!

Is past you the same you as you?
I think he would wait and see what happens, then deal with it. That's all anybody can do.

i couldn't really figure it out at first. and, you know, i'm still not 100% i have a lot of questions!

but i don't think i can ignore her either!

past you sounds rly sensible. i bet he was a snooze!

I'm not sure I really understand her enough to know how she'd handle things yet

well, it's not like i wasn't in the same boat! (that's two boat metaphors in two replies...think nui, think!)

you must have gotten some sort of big curveball for a memory, right?

A majority of your comment is readable this time. I commend you on this notable improvement.

As for the actual content of your message? I can't deny that I have much to learn from my other life. But I don't intend to be replaced by him, nor do I see how that would really change things for the better.

you're here again! glad you like my comment! next time i'll throw in extra rainbow sparkles just for you!

idk if you could be replaced by him anyway. that'd imply that you're 2 different people, right?

I guess if your old self had amazing powers that they heroically used to save the world from storms that would work out great!

I'm having trouble seeing how returning to the life of a defense attorney would save the day though. What if someone was something very ordinary or even bad like a serial killer?

well you could have defended the guy who kidnapped all those people or whatever

general 'you' of course since i'm not quite sure if you're trying to say you were a defense attorney here or a serial killer.

uh

which were you?

so far what my past self seems to be doing in memories is attacking people with swords, harassing a teenage boy, trolling people, and swooning in the arms of a dorito-shaped man

I’m not sure how this is helpful at all

[here]

Is it really that important to be yourself?

nah i dont think about what other people would do even if that other person is me
so dont think so hard!
just keep being cute and be a good girl! \(*3*)/
