hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him. looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess. pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever. that's about it. wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess. and that's really it. later.

( original top level. )

Wow. Thanks.

Anyway, unrelated to all that, can someone give me a theory for this: if you have two memories that contradict each other, what do you think the meaning to that is?

[megabond]

From what I can tell, that would mean one of them might be a false memory. Why do you ask?

[promisedyou]

Can you have false memories? Is that even possible?

And I wouldn't be asking if it didn't apply to me.

[megabond]

I don't know. My memories were switched by someone, but I doubt that would count as one.

[promisedyou]

Switched?

What do you mean?

[megabond]

I didn't mean my memories were lost to another, but someone else saw my otherworldly memories. Plus, I got a strange swap involving a scar, but that's another story to tell one day.

[promisedyou]

Ohh... That happened to me, too. Having someone see my memories. But I guess it is!

[megabond]

On the bright side, I managed to learn more about the other resident's memory self. I have to admit, it was a unique experience.

[promisedyou]

That's true...

But was it like putting yourself in their shoes?

[megabond]

A little bit. And to be honest, I somehow learned what the other resident, Togusa's other self's life looks like.

[promisedyou]

I see... so it was a learning experience, huh?

[megabond]

I think so. And to be honest, it's actually not all that bad.

I like to think of it through the phrase "the grass is greener".

[promisedyou]

I suppose that's true.

[ladytakamaki]

Memories that contradict each other?
Do you mind explaining or giving an example?

[promisedyou]

It's hard to give an exact example, but...

They're basically events that happen with the same group of people but the events in one memory are similar to the events of another memory, but it's an event that can't be done twice, I guess is the easiest way to explain it.

[ladytakamaki]

Huh..
How's that even possible?
I can't even wrap my head around something like that... If it can only be done once,
then you should've only gotten one memory.

Sorry, I'm not really being helpful. I thought I'd just give it a go...

[promisedyou]

I honestly don't know. That's why I asked to begin with. But the fact that it happened more than once means that it's weird.

It's okay that you weren't helpful, though. But at least you tried, and that's what matters.

[ladytakamaki]

Yeah... But you're totally sure that they aren't two separate events, right? Because that just doesn't make any sense.

[promisedyou]

I mean, they aren't the same thing, so it's not like I wouldn't say they aren't separate events, but I also wouldn't say that they're connected, either.

They don't work on the same timeline. It really is confusing.

[ladytakamaki]

Different timelines? That's the first time I've heard of that. I've never spoken to anyone with that kind of discrepancy in their memories before.

It's a good thing you put that on here, though. That's something worth talking about.

[promisedyou]

It's the first I'm hearing of it, too, so I don't know if I should believe it or not. Especially since none of my memories seem to be leaning towards the sci-fi genre...

I think so, too. I mean, we're all still trying to figure things out, so being able to work things out with others is really helpful.

[ladytakamaki]

It's good to have a record, at least? Have you written it down anywhere? I kind of have a lot of unexplained memories myself, but it's definitely...not as confusing as yours, no offense.

[promisedyou]

I've been keeping everything I remember along with notes on Retrospec and other things in a diary just in case I forget it.

[ladytakamaki]

Good thinking! I should seriously start doing that too,
lol
But it's been hard to keep track with everything going on, to be fair. I just got back to the city last week or so...

[promisedyou]

Yeah, I was pretty much out of the city for most of February, too, but I managed to write down everything whenever I had the spare chance to.
