Changes

So has Retrospec ever changed bodies in a positive way? I woke up this morning, and I was in way better shape. Not that I was in bad shape before, but almost all my body fat is gone. I've got muscle definition and everything. It's like I went to bed and got 10 years worth of exercise all in one night. I'm including this photo since I immediately put on an old cosplay, but don't want to subject you all to my scrawny self without warning. Is this cheating at fitness?

Might be a little cheating.

But now you gotta maintain it.

[mincingminuet]

Well I already go to the gym 4 days a week.
Shouldn't be too awful.

[odasaku]

Sounds like a good routine.

Any idea why you were so fit in your other life, though?

[mincingminuet]

Yep.
Other me was a sky pirate.
And a dancer.

[odasaku]

I see...

You're the second sky pirate I know.

Or, well...I'm not sure if she would call herself that, but she did say she had an air ship.

[mincingminuet]

Who is she?

[odasaku]

May. She says she's captain of the jellyfish pirates.

[mincingminuet]

Oh, I know her vaguely.
Don't think she's a sky pirate in the same way.

[odasaku]

Oh, okay. Since she said she had an airship, I just assumed it. Sorry.

[mincingminuet]

no need to apologize.
I do think there's a difference between sky pirates and having an airship though.

[odasaku]

Yeah there is.

What's it like to be a pirate? Do you remember it?

[mincingminuet]

Mostly? Terror.
Lots of running, screaming...monsters and horrible things.

You know, adventure.

[odasaku]

That sounds a lot more than a lot of people can handle.

But that's definitely what an adventure sounds like.

[mincingminuet]

Yeah.
I've already had my fill, but she kept going.

[odasaku]

Yeah. Before this app, the most exciting moments of my life were submitting my stories.

[mincingminuet]

You're a writer?

[odasaku]

Yeah. I write fiction.

[mincingminuet]

Neat.
I always did want to write more, but never had the nerve to submit stuff.
I admire people with the courage to do that.

[odasaku]

I don't know if I have courage...but thanks.

You should try. I'll support you. The wait is the most stressful part, to be honest.
