[Text] From Late Night

[matchbreaker]

[ I mean she's still out in Magatus but there's a thought which has sort of lingered in the back of her mind for a while now and as such more to clear her mind from thoughts of wolves and the thoughts of her own son (including of all things puns, why??? she's going to put out vaguepost in the form of: ]

So does anyone else have children in the memories they've been getting?

To answer my own question the woman I am in my memories has a son and then her son has three children as well.

[ So this tbh pretty young looking 41 year old is a grandmother in her memories but that's beside the point. ]

Oh, who of?

But no I don't have photos.

[thesettingsun]

Past me and two friends of his. Odasaku and Ango. Members of the 'decadent school', whatever that means.

That's too bad. I can absolutely imagine you getting one of their baby pictures and embarrassing them over two lifetimes.

[matchbreaker]

They aren't here, so that wouldn't happen.

[ . . . I mean, let's just begin there. ]

[thesettingsun]

Retroactive embarrassment if you do meet one of them?

[matchbreaker]

It won't be "them."

If I ever run into "them," they will be some other person, who lived some other life apart from me. Their soul will be one that I've some connection with and I would very much love to meet them, but to push that on them?

That's unfair.

[thesettingsun]

That's true.

Sorry. I got distracted by thoughts of baby pictures.

[matchbreaker]

That's fine.

[ It's not. That's a thought she's had, a wish that seems more cruel than not for all parties involved. And yet she also knows she wants it ]

It's an easy thing to joke about really.

[thesettingsun]

It is, but it's a sensitive subject for a lot of people, and it's really impossible to know who. I should be more careful.

[matchbreaker]

Is that to say it's an easy subject for you? Looking forward to meeting that Odasaku and Ango guy?

[thesettingsun]

It's less that it's an easy subject and more that humor is my way of coping.

[matchbreaker]

Fair enough, then.

[thesettingsun]

Closer to your original topic, do you think someone who's young here might remember their past life being an adult and having kids even older than them? How weird would that be?

[matchbreaker]

That thought's been in the back of my mind, yes. It seems like a lot of people are close enough in age to their counterpart, but I know I'm a few centuries younger so it's not impossible.

[thesettingsun]

I don't have a solid number for past me's age and the timeline is kind of weird, but I think he might have been late thirties, early forties in some of my memories?

[matchbreaker]

Well in theory we're remembering a whole life, so there could be variance. My memories have two big clusters, one in her early 20s and one much later than that, I think.

[thesettingsun]

I'm 90% sure a lot of my memories are from after past me died.

[matchbreaker]

... Like as a ghost?

[thesettingsun]

Basically like a ghost. Some kind of spirit anyway.

[matchbreaker]

So you're gonna turn into a ghost?

[thesettingsun]

I might already be one.

[matchbreaker]

What.

Oh because of the book thing?

[thesettingsun]

That and I'm pretty sure normal human bodies don't work if you replace all their blood with ink.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . . ]

You don't have blood at all?

[thesettingsun]

Zero blood. Not that I go looking very much.

[matchbreaker]

Did you get bloodwork done yet?
