yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

my point is that in every superhero story there is always a person or a group that defects and goes to the dark side.
i am not saying you went to the dark side, but maybe someone else did.

. . . . if you're trying to be reassuring you're doing a horrible job at it.

So either I'm evil or the poor stupid dope who'll be the evil one's first victim so that everybody else can have some revenge and sweet character growth? Where the hell can I sign out on something like that?

[windeity]

sorry. it was more factual than anything? i am just saying context matters!
and anyway just because you were that do you really have to stay that way? if you ever were evil or killed by evil.

[explodosafe]

I don't think that's a question of "staying" and "wanting to", dude.
Have you gotten any memories yet?

[windeity]

not yet. but apparently that is something i should be expecting.
let me guess. i will probably change my mind once it starts?

[explodosafe]

Nah, nothing B-movie-like like that. I just asked because you sounded like you hadn't experienced it yourself yet.

It's hard to imagine or understand while your cherry's still intact.

[windeity]

instinct says to say "i will let you know when my cherry's popped" but that is also weird so pretend that is not a thing and the sentiment is there.
but ok. you might have a point and if i remember anything drastic i guess it will really change my opinion.
how often do people remember things anyway though? once a day? once a week? randomly?

[explodosafe]

consider me on your cherry hotline

[No, seriously, please don't tell him. There's only so much a guy wants to know.]

Randomly, although at least once each month seems to be a thing. It's usually places or situations that trigger them, so you can be lucky and just miss all the action or you can walk into a room and get hit with six within an hour.

People call them "memories" but if you ask me it's more like... Imagine you got amnesia and successfully build up a new life from scratch because those fuckers seemed like they'd never come back. Then, one day, you brush your teeth and suddenly remember that you like mangos more than grapes. It's like that, so doing things conscious can really work against you in the end.

Not that I'm telling you to just accept it or anything. Shit's fucked up no matter how you look at it.

[windeity]

first of all, mangos ARE better than grapes. but second of all, that makes a scary amount of sense and i get it. that would explain why you cannot avoid them.
that's a good way to put it though. no one else i've talked to has compared it to real amnesia since if these are memories or whatever that is exactly what it is like.

i'll decide later based on what i remember. thanks for the honesty, at least.

[explodosafe]

What kind of grapes do you know? Definitely not the right ones!
People compare and try to deal with those memories in all sorts of ways, I just wanted to warn ya that some are more prone to leave you hurting than others.
What you want to do in the end is up to you, so no problem or whatever.

Take care.
