So I'm sure there's plenty of moments where you guys have gone "what." at the hallucinomemories but bear with me for a sec here-

Anyone ever deal with something that when you looked it up just made barely any scrap of sense? Not even in the nonsense way, mind you. Like apparently I was called "Fafnir" in one of mine. As in (depending on where you take it from, shut up I had to look it up after finding out obviously) an asshole dragon or a giant. Either way, he gets smoked.

So running bet here is either:

1.) was the "other me" self-aware that he was a dick in some capacity?

or

2.) did he just pick the name out because it sounded cool?

Because if 1, then I can respect that; but if 2, then what the shit.

(David here just got his freebie regain in the form of remembering his mercenary codename, and in a sense of self-deprecation, I had to poke fun at myself for my choices. No regrets.)

I mean it sounds cool but the implications are a bit unfortunate.

I mean you could have been a spy in a past life! That's not so terrible...

i think

If my previous life were more like a James Bond movie, then maybe. But can't say at this point.

It does mean you are a Cerified Badass™ regardless though!

sorry if this is annoying im just trying to see the best in this cause i'm in a similar boat

It's fine, Sakura. I'm just really confused rn - mostly just trying to make sense of all of this.

I know, I get you... I've had a few of them.

I don't know what to offer you cause I don't know your memories other than you gotta trust what your other self... if that is your other self, is doing

Even if I think he's doing it wrong, whatever it is?

yeah

cause it's you, right?

he must have a reason somewhere

Suppose I'll have to wait and see where it goes. Even if I'm worried where that might end up taking us anyway.

tbh i'm the same

the other me seems to really enjoy swords and killing and was probably some sort of samurai

which is worrying considering up until last month i didn't know how to actually fight or anything

Yeah, that's a bit worrying. I've got a heads-up in the fighting department but I'm worried that it might end up with me being either a literal dragon or some asshole who thought it'd be cute to name himself after a dragon and who may or may not have been involved in some illegal shit.

It's exhausting, really.

It really is... but you seem to be taking it in stride. I'm trying to keep positive about all of these weird powers cause like... I just watched anime, you know? and pretended to have powers

not actually have them!!

I get you! Pretty sure most people have dreamed of having superpowers at one point or another in their childhoods.

But actually seeing it happen to them is another story.

Yeah...

Do you feel any better David? Cause you know we're on the same boat and everything.

I think so. If anything this whole fiasco is at least letting me know I'm not alone in this, so that much is oddly relieving.

Just sucks that it's happening in the first place.

Totally.

But hey, it could be worse.

I think

Have you heard the stories of the people who were in death traps in the sea about a month ago?

Yeah. Not exactly something I'd wish on most people.
