It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm afraid things are really quite busy here, and unfortunately our liaison has been compromised. Well...so have a lot of people, actually.

Are you still yourself if you're not the self you were? It's the kind of conversation we've had a lot of times, around here. I've always only been myself, but if I woke up tomorrow as someone else, would I still be me even if I wasn't?

I think rather than worrying about that the best thing I can do is focus on trying to sort things out as best I can. I'm a little worried, actually, but I think I can manage to give everyone a shot even if I can't fix things on my own or even with everyone's help.

But you can help! Or at least I think it will help if you think about what it means to be "you". It's okay if that answer changes or doesn't. Just hold onto that concept and don't let it go. And maybe tell other people what you think it means? Not like I'm saying you have to talk about that. I think usually you all just talk about anything, and I think that is also a good way to hold onto who you are and who you want to be. Sometimes I think it'd be fun, all those parties or little plans. I've never spent much time outside of these walls, did you know?

I don't have time to really ramble, though. Those of you who know what I mean, we're doing our best. Those of you who don't, you do your best too. Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, and I'll try to fix what I can fix.

Please take care.

Hey does anyone else think about how we're made up of countless little cells and these are all living things
Plus there are all those chemicals that affect our behavior and stuff
Is who we are always changing because as long as we live our bodies are always changing?

Sorry if that's too deep for you guys. Can you tell I've been reading parenting books late into the night?

You're made up of all those cells as you are now so no magical change necessary

No promises that comparison is going to get that literal

Gotcha [He thinks. He can't tell but HEY good to find out ol' Gamz is on a good trip.]

Sweet planet. Sounds like a place where people have the ultimate yard parties.

[personal profile] 1620 2018-07-13 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
fuck it probably is. like an eternal motherfucking life circus.
hey, can you help a carnival brother out in remembering more??
devilsadvocato: (LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME BOY)

[personal profile] devilsadvocato 2018-07-13 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Remembering more? You a carnival guy in your other life?
Wherever there are big tents and strings of lights there's usually music and people playing games with their family or friends.

drizzle: (what is this!?)

[personal profile] drizzle 2018-07-04 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Why have you been reading parenting books for!?
You haven't been keeping a secret girlfriend that is now expecting, right?

[IS SHE GOING TO BE AN AUNT!?]
devilsadvocato: (SHE SAID WHAA)

[personal profile] devilsadvocato 2018-07-04 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[UM WHAT? Did Ava mean to send this to someone else? Hold up she read the parenting book comment.]

No? I've been a proud father for three and a half months now? Remember the part where you met Molly and the twenty something other times you've seen her since her birth?
drizzle: (Default)

[personal profile] drizzle 2018-07-10 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Molly?

[Who is she...? Ava almost wants to ask, but...]

I only seen her twenty something times?
You sure?
It kinda feels like I haven't...


[More like, she doesn't remember at all and now she was curious to.]
devilsadvocato: (I'M NOT AT ALL NERVOUS)

[personal profile] devilsadvocato 2018-07-11 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Molly as in your niece? Are you feeling okay Sis?
Shit
Is this a Retrospec thing?


[Foggy texts a couple photos of a baby. In one the baby is in the arms of what sure looks like that secret boyfriend Foggy told her he started dating a couple months back. But Matt has red hair instead of brown. WELCOME TO THE TWILIGHT ZONE]

[personal profile] drizzle 2018-07-12 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[WELCOME TO THE TWILIGHT ZONE INDEED! What are all these pictures she has no memory of? She'd remember having a niece or her brother having one. For one, she remember about his boyfriend!]

Might be!
This isn't aligning with my brain cells right now.
Who's the guy with red hair? He looks familiar...

....can I come over to see her?


[She's talking about Molly. Guess who wants to confirm this isn't a genius practical joke her brother was playing her.]
devilsadvocato: (MMMMHMMMM)

Move on to action in an inbox?

[personal profile] devilsadvocato 2018-07-12 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
The handsome redhead is Matt Weesley. My husband? The way I remember it you were there for the wedding six or so years ago.
Yeah come over. This is a conversation easier had face to face.
Good way to confirm we don't have dimensions crossed or something and we're texting from two different versions of reality or whatever the problem of the month is.
Stupid Retrospec what kind of glitch in the system is this?


[A couple minutes later he texts her an address.]

Home address in case that doesn't make any sense either. [It's different from his normal one. Looks to be in a fancier part of town.]
drizzle: (Default)

Consider it done!
