Hi guys, I have kind of a weird question, so bear with me... Would you trust this chicken to manage your real estate properties? How much would you pay a chicken for a job like this? I wish I was joking, but I think past-me once employed a chicken. As a manager. Really.

I don't think I spoke chicken...
I think I just told it what to do and it did it.
It was a smart chicken.

[insantafe]

Oh, a smart chicken. That makes all the difference.

[ what has his life turned into that he is even having this conversation ]

What’d you do, pay it in chicken food? And don’t tell me you ate the eggs. That’d be cruel.

[judgementkazzy]

No, it didn't lay any eggs or anything.
I think I paid it in cash, but I'm not sure?
Maybe it was just the price of food and giving it a place to stay.
Though I don't know where you'd keep a chicken in the city...

[insantafe]

What would a chicken need with cash?
You could always build it a little pen in the shop? Or a coop or whatever. One chicken can’t take up that much room, can it?

[judgementkazzy]

I dunno. It was the 80s.

[ That explains nothing. ]

That's true. Maybe we had a little coop on the roof or something.

[insantafe]

So, what, did chickens all get to stupid to have cash after the 80s?

[ ??? ]

Wouldn’t be that hard to maintain, either. You figure a chicken only needs a little bit of space, some food, water, and that’s about it, right? What else does a bird need?

[ why is Jack even here he knows nothing about chickens. ]

[judgementkazzy]

Oh, no. There was just a ton of money in Japan.
Giving a couple thousand yen to a chicken was probably no big deal.

[ Yakuza is an interesting game. ]

Probably, yeah.
They make cute pets and they aren't super loud like roosters.

[insantafe]

Seriously? I don't even have the money for lunch half the time. The 80s must've been crazier than I thought.

[ college student life blows. he literally can't even imagine. ]

I thought roosters were chickens? You know, the guy ones?

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, it was a really wild time. They called that the bubble economy.

[ History lessons with Kiryu, all thanks to his time looking up his past life. ]

Oh. Good point.
Maybe it was a girl, then?
Or like some breed that isn't loud...
I'm not really sure.

[insantafe]

I'll have to look that up later. It's hard to imagine all that.

Do the girl chickens not lay eggs if there's no roosters around? It must've just been the quiet kind. Though that makes you wonder how it communicated to you whenever it was on the job.

[judgementkazzy]

It's pretty interesting.
I've been looking up a lot of stuff to see if I remember anything.

I think they'll still lay eggs, they just won't hatch into chicks.
It clucked sometimes, as far as I can tell.
To be honest, with a language barrier like that, I don't know how it got any work done.

[insantafe]

Huh. I suppose if you’ve got a good frame of reference to go off of, there’s no reason not to. All I’ve got to work with is a bunch of old fashion clothes and bad accents.

It clucked? Do the guy chickens cluck?
What if it didn’t? What if you just got swindled into paying it for sitting around and clucking once in awhile?

[judgementkazzy]

How old? You might be able to narrow it down if you look.

Maybe I should've researched chickens when I got this memory...

[insantafe]

Good question. I'm not really sure, exactly? There were a lot of vests and flat caps and such, and fancy suits and coats for the guys who could afford it. I don't know much about fashion; it's hard to explain.

I don't think they have language dictionaries for chickens, though, so you'd still be out of luck on that one.

[judgementkazzy]

Weird... Maybe you can have a look online and see if anything reminds you of your memories.
I usually google stuff when I remember it, just in case.

I don't know... Maybe back in my world, they existed. Who knows.

[insantafe]

I don’t know if I’ve got enough details for that yet, is the problem. The best I have to work off of right now is New York.

I guess we’ll know if you develop the ability to speak chicken.

[judgementkazzy]

Guess you'll have to wait and see if you remember more.
Waiting is the worst part.

Honestly, I wouldn't be all that surprised if I did.
