who else feels like their "past self" should have remained dead? i can't be the only one.

unrelated: has anyone had the misfortune of being granted injuries or scars from their past lives?

and the existential crises.

mostly.

Mostly.

Dare I ask how bad it got for you?

the first month i was aware, everyone turned into living miniatures with no warning. that wasn't a good week for me.

it was very bad, actually. i quit my job because i refused to deal with it.

Yikes. I think that was during that two-month period when I was booted off the app. I remember my boss mentioning something about it to me once I was back on.

You been able to get back on your feet after that?

i have a better job than i used to, anyway.

your boss is on the network, then?

That's good. But yeah, he's on the network too. Helps when things get weird, anyway.

i can only imagine. actual sympathy from the person you work for. that must be nice.

[He's a little jelly. Just a tad.]

is this the person you've been hired to protect, or some kind of company thing?

It helps to a point.

Former. It's not exactly an orthodox setup, but it's worked well so far.

i suppose it gives you a bit more incentive to protect him, being the person who writes your paychecks and all.

Just a little. Probably also helps that when he's not being a colossal pain in the ass, he's actually a decent guy.

Just don't tell him I said that.

your secret is safe with me.

and anyone else who happens to read this.

[If you wanted to keep something from someone, a public network is not the smartest plan!]

what does one do to become a bodyguard, by the way?

Don't worry,
I get the implications of having this online for anyone else to see. It's more the principle.

[ And honestly if other people have even seen how the two react to each other sometimes, it's not surprising, really. ]

Not sure if my experience is the best one to go off of, but the long and short of it was that I actually had put my resume in like anyone else, just for a security position. Few weeks and a couple tests later, interviews, background checks, drug tests, the usual - bam.

Technically I can't go into much more detail than that.

i see.

[Doesn't sound... too hard. Not that Ren is looking to immediately vacate his current position as a mechanic, but it's good to have options in mind, just in case things go south. Like that one time he quit his job when everyone got shrunk and basically didn't think anything mattered anymore, let alone a job.

Anyway.]

fair enough. i suppose if i care enough to find out more, i can do my own research.

Good luck if you do. It can be kind of a pain in the ass sometimes but it does have its good moments.
