[ this is where a "hello" would go. maybe even a "nice to meet you," since he's new to this... thing. unfortunately, he's also a bit lacking in social graces, and that applies just as much to social media, so this is what you get.

sorry. ]

so it turns out the kid who stalked me for several blocks and then told me he knew me in a past life wasn't actually high. who knew?

which is to say i've been formally inducted into this weird reincarnation cult, i guess. i got a really bizarre memory to start me out, too. anyone know Eren Jaeger? because apparently i kicked the shit out of him once. and before any of his friends crawl up my ass about it, it was a means to an end. an end that would have been a lot worse than getting kicked around a bit, from what i understand. chill.

anyway, i have to wonder if anyone had a weirder initiation into this shit than me. i don't want to hear any full superhero origin stories, but if you think you can beat that, do share.

or don't, i really don't care that much.

that's what i keep hearing. apparently he acts pretty different around me.

how convenient. not as weird as being stalked, but i'm assuming that doesn't happen often.

i mean wouldn't you act a little different around someone you had memories of versus people you met here? i am just saying.
it doesn't i don't think. but then again i also met people here that i remember being aliens back in our old life so maybe "weird" is subjective?

i guess. i've just never had someone act so skittish around me before. it was weird.

aliens, huh? i wonder if we have aliens. at this point i don't even know if that would be good or bad.

given skittish is not a word i'd use for him that is actually weird.
but you guys are cool now right?
and yes, aliens. our aliens were busy watching us and yelling at us via instant messenger for a while so maybe other places have aliens without knowing it yet, too.

we're cool in the sense that he finally stopped calling me "sir," at least.

wait, aliens were IMing you?

that's funnier than it should be.
but yes. a lot of them. timeline shenanigans happened a lot for us back then.

...soooo not only did aliens exist, they had the internet and used it to chat with you? what did you guys even talk about?

a lot of it was them just trying to troll us for a while, but they talked to us about other things like how things went on their planet and in their session of the game. and sometimes they talked about dumb things like movies or shipping.
and other important stuff. they were on a different timeline if i understand correctly and we all synced up later.

[ dude.... what ]

...i think you may win the weirdness game.

[ he has so many questions. ]

that is definitely a possibility.
i cannot claim my memories aren't weird, but i also know enough about eren's that you might be in for a surprise.

oh, good. that's comforting.

i know you are being sarcastic but at the same time it's better knowing there is at least one person who might get it later...maybe? if you are into the whole idea of sharing.

no, you're right. as creepy as it was at first, i'm glad i'm not the only person who's remembering these things. i think it if i'd started remembering this shit on my own, i'd feel like i was losing it even more than i already do.

from what i understand, a lot of people are like that actually. having seen how it impacts them i think i prefer having other people.
on the other hand it gets confusing when there are a lot of you with the same memories but you are not remembering them at the same time.
at least eren has been pretty upfront about what he knows.
