I'll preface this now with the notion that I don't expect anyone to respond with the content of their memories, should this be relevant to them. It's more a question being shouted into the void, because I don't care to keep it in my head any longer. Make of it what you will; treat it as a pure hypothetical if it suits you, it isn't as though I'll know the difference.

But has anyone had the suspicion that they may have been on the wrong side of whatever conflict may have been occurring in these memories of theirs? Or if not something so drastic, perhaps it's just that the person you seem to have been back then was deserving of, at the very least, a solid shake and a slap across the face.

Either way, people like to assert here that whomever you are now isn't the same as the person you're remembering, and I wholeheartedly agree with that notion. However, the question likewise comes up from time to time of whether or not the patterns we recall are what we're destined to fall into again.

That possibility becomes decidedly more difficult to disregard when the memories you receive are of someone that you have neither the interest nor the desire to become.

alright, just a couple PSAs here (and maybe a bit more):

-trying to play this stupid bingo game? not sure who to approach if you need a stranger? we feel you. stop by the Quill & the Inkwell this weekend if you need a little help, maybe getting some folks in the same place with the same problems will do us all a favor or two. I'll be discounting drinks for Retrospeccers (of age, don't get pedantic with me), because don't we all need a little liquid courage for some of this shit?

Saturday night's Halloween in July themed, by the way, so dress appropriately.

-relatedly, the Inkwell is also hiring for pretty much everything. we've got enough staff to run on, but it's a little bare-bones right now, so. if you're 21+ and know how to mix drinks, cook, do dishes, any of that? contact me here or message me. literary knowledge is a plus.

-and now that that's out of the way, the memory bullshit we know and love: has anyone else remembered the same things as other people, but it doesn't match up? like, you both remember people with the exact same name, maybe some other things in common, but they don't seem like they're actually the same person. any theories on this yet, thoughts, etc.?

((ooc note: I'll be tossing up a log this weekend for the restaurant and bar, if anyone wants to take advantage of it as a way to make meetups happen for those 'do x with a stranger' squares! feel free to hit me up ooc if you're interested in your character working at the Inkwell and want to discuss that. o/))
