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.)

Woah. So were you like a thief or something?

More like illegal fighting, if previous memories are to be believed.

So like cage fighting and stuff?

[ Was he also a yakuza ]

I think so. Couple of the memories that've triggered involved fighting someone else.

[ Even if it was friendly sparring for one and getting laid out on his ass for being a jerk in another. ]

Cool. I've remembered some stuff like that too.
Did you recognize who you were fighting?

[ You know, fighting happens between friends sometimes. ]

Nope. Though the kicker was that both of them had gold eyes. It was kinda cool, but kinda freaky at the same time.

Like some kind of supernatural thing?
Did you fight monsters or demons?

[ Aw, he's only fought normal humans and tigers, boo. ]

I think so? I mean it'd explain the literal swords made of fire hovering over my face in the one.

[ Honestly he would've thought the girl who was there with him was kinda cute if she didn't look like she was about to cry or murder him. ]

Woah, OK, this is a lot more intense than I pictured it.
If you had swords made of fire maybe you really were some kind of dragon.

[ This went from 0 to 60 really, really fast. ]

I didn't, she did. But considering how unfazed I felt I guess I might've had something similar???

[ And this is barely the tip of the iceberg. ]

Damn, it sounds like it.

[ Suddenly Kiryu's cage matches seem pretty tame. ]

I really am starting to live out one of our projects from work, aren't I. At least I might have a leg up with having an idea on how video game plots tend to go so I'm not completely blindsided.

That's cool though.
If you can use this stuff for work, I mean.
At least that knowledge doesn't go to waste.

Well, not totally sure if it'll be any use, it's honestly the more optimistic part of me talking here.

But who knows. I know of at least a few people who'd get a kick out of it if it does end up being true.

Yeah, better to make the most of it.

At least it sounds like your past-you was pretty rad.

So far. Definitely luckier than some of the others with it so far, anyway.

Good point. At least it sounds like you're really strong, with the flaming swords and all.

[ Worst case, you remember being an asshole, right? ]

True. Just going to have to wait and see where it all takes us.

But hold up, you said you were known as "The Dragon of Dojima"? At least you didn't have a tie-in with a dragon known for hoarding.

[ Yup, and that's probably coming up at one point in the near future. ]

Yeah, that's right. I was part of the Dojima Family.

[ that answers nothing, Kiryu...... ]

Maybe you used to collect stuff?

Huh.

That might be it. If I'm lucky, anyway.

Hopefully it's that and not the other stuff LOL

God, I hope so. It's just mentally exhausting at this point.
