Hanatarou Nito August 9 at 8:57pm near Enprise

I guess a lot of people are inflicting involuntary violations of bodily autonomy or whatever, and a lot of us found out we were betas in a pretty alarming way, but it seemed like a good time for a pop quiz.  1. My given name is . . .    a. Hanatarou    b. Jamie    c. Jaime    d. other (please specify)  2. And my surname is . . .    a. Nito    b. Doh    c. Yamada    d. other (please specify)  EXTRA CREDIT  Draw a nice picture? idk Anyway... If you don't care about any of that, I guess let's talk about the afterlife. My past self was from there!

Are you all right?

[floret]

Oh, Mr. Radetskiy!
I think I am... why do you ask?

[royaldifficulties]

Just wondering, between the name thing and the afterlife thing.

Is the name at the top of the post the name of your previous self?

[floret]

Oh lol.
Well, a lot of people seem to have my name wrong for some reason, so I thought I'd... address that?

Almost! His name was Hanatarou Yamada.

[royaldifficulties]

I see. So this labeling is interesting.

Do you know who Hanatarou Nito was? Or it maybe wasn't anyone real, just a glitch of the app?

[floret]

No, uh
He's me.
I'm Hanatarou Nito.

...I guess that means you're one of the people who have memories of my name being "Jamie"?

[royaldifficulties]

[ ...

Bart does remember him as Jamie.

He's pretty damn sure. ]

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I'm sorry - I'll remember the correct name.

[floret]

I appreciate it! But there's no need to apologize. It's a Retrospec glitch, so unreality or something is what's to blame for telling some people the wrong name up to now. (Or altering their memories of what the name was... or whatever.)

[royaldifficulties]

I see. Still, I'll remember, Hanatarou. Until something changes again, I guess.

Anything interesting, besides this... glitch?

[floret]

Mmm... good question.
All things considered, which is a pretty big disclaimer around here, things have actually been... kind of normal for me lately? Like, I didn't switch bodies with anyone, and even though a lot of my friends have altered memories of me (though as far as I can tell it's limited to knowing the wrong name...), my brother and my boss remember things the same way I do, so... day to day matters aren't as confusing as they could be.

What about you?

[royaldifficulties]

Well, brother and boss seem like good people to know the right name. Family's important, and it'd be really strange to try to get your paycheck while claiming you're called something else.

I did switch bodies briefly. Can't say I recommend the experience.

[floret]

Right? And then trying to convince the bank that it's actually my money...
(I guess I should mention that my other siblings all know my name, too, although they don't have Retrospec, so I'm less concerned that they'll be affected by glitches.)

Wow, did you really?? What was it like? Did you try to act like them, or did you just do your own stuff?
