you know, normally I'd probably come up with some kind of excuse for why I've been kind of reclusive and like nowadays, basically ANYTHING would sound plausible, right? "I got back memories suggesting I was a serial killer and I've been avoiding people for the public good" or "I've become possessed with the spirit of a hermit" or "I now have the power to turn people into pudding with my eyes" btw if this has happened to anyone, I'm sorry I was just really insensitive (ㄒoㄒ) but I guess the truth is that my health took a huge dip and I've been in and out of hospital for a bit and I don't like talking about that much at all but yeah they're considering a lung transplant if I can get my health better so I guess hit me with all the classic social media health tips? not kombucha tho I would rather die thanks y(^ｰ^)y also I'm so incredibly bored, please send cat vids or something

I am always so open to pictures of cats, and especially now
not many pets in hospitals
samurai. apparently one that is quite historically famous (　◜◡‾)

[drydrown]

Well! You're doing far better than I am, at any rate. Apparently I used to be a knight of some sort, though not from any world that even halfway resembles Earth.

[spes_phthisica]

not sure about that. he was famous for being terrifying and deadly + dying young in tuberculosis ^^; but it sure is something
is it one of those worlds full of magic and monsters and things like that?

[drydrown]

It is, yes. Unfortunately, I don't have any magic that I know of; I was more of the swordsmanship and politics sort. Not a particularly kind one, either, if we're taking the deadly route.

[spes_phthisica]

that's a bit of a shame, but it could still be some quite exciting memories, right? a lot of what I've heard from people sound like epic scifi or fantasy adventures
then again some things kind of sound like horror

[drydrown]

I wouldn't say mine are all that terrible, though the most exciting thing I've remembered so far is dying. It wasn't a pleasant way to go, either.

So take that as you will, I suppose.

[spes_phthisica]

no I imagine not
I’ve seen someone receive a memory like that and it did not look like a nurturing experience
I’m not looking forward to it at all

then again I’ve remembered killing people too and that wasn’t much fun either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
have you remembered anything like that? since you mentioned swordsmanship I mean

[drydrown]

I know a lot of people died because of me, but I don't remember explicitly murdering anyone. Not for want of trying; I was stopped before I could, once.

[spes_phthisica]

oh
those kind of memories are hard to deal with

was it actual murder you were trying or was it more a battle kind of thing?
I mean not that there's a huge difference, I guess

[drydrown]

It was more that I decided to play judge, jury, and executioner when I encountered a group of criminals that I was supposed to arrest. A lack of following due process, I suppose, outside of the notion that there certainly was a process involved and I was definitely doing it.
