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.

The anomalies last a short time, but the trauma is forever.

[judgementkazzy]

That's for sure.
If only all my memories were as weird as this chicken and dance battling Michael Jackson...

I can't believe this is the second canon I know where the protag dance battles Michael Jackson

[thesettingsun]

You can't just say that and not tell me if you won against MJ.

omg what's the other one

[judgementkazzy]

No way. He kicked my ass.

[ They didn't call him the Disco Prince for nothing. Because they literally call him that in the game, mind you. ]

shin megami tensei ii! he's 'mr. thriller' but. it's obviously him.

[thesettingsun]

At least one thing is still right with the world.

ah yes... in Yakuza he's Miracle Johnson

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, he was on a completely different level.
But he was a good guy. I guess we were friends.

[thesettingsun]

I have newfound respect for past you, since he was friends with Michael Jackson.

Which is good, because I lost some respect for the chicken manager thing.

[judgementkazzy]

Thanks, I guess?
You know I was a criminal too, right?
In the past, anyway.

[ That makes the chicken thing even weirder, honestly. ]

[thesettingsun]

[Well, he likes Chuuya, and Chuuya was in the mafia, so...]

That makes any questions about whether it's legal to employ chickens sort of pointless.

[judgementkazzy]

[ There you go, see, just your friendly neighborhood ex-yakuza. ]

The real estate thing was legit, though.
But I'm not really sure why...
Past-me made a lot of weird decisions.
They weren't always good.

[thesettingsun]

I can relate. I think most of us can to some extent.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah.
Right now it just feels like there's so much to wade through...
Even with the notes Majima and I take, it's a mess.

[thesettingsun]

I haven't compared notes with the person who remembers me, but I'm not sure I want to.

[judgementkazzy]

Really? Why is that?

[thesettingsun]

Most of my memories haven't been good ones.

[judgementkazzy]

Ah.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I've had some bad ones, too.

[thesettingsun]

It's alright. It just makes me wonder if it's worth remembering any more.

[judgementkazzy]

I know what you mean.
You have to look on the bright side if you can, but it's not always easy.

What have the good ones been like?

[thesettingsun]

[It takes him a minute to come up with anything he could describe as 'good'.]

We were trying to find past me's teacher inside a book, and past me was very excited about it.

[judgementkazzy]

You went inside a book?

[thesettingsun]

Several books, I'm pretty sure.

[judgementkazzy]

Woah. That's pretty cool.
Although it sounds like maybe it wasn't?

[thesettingsun]

The books are fine. Past me was just a giant tool.

[judgementkazzy]

Oh... That's too bad.
I can see how that would suck.

[thesettingsun]

I'm dealing with it as well as I can. It's just that's the only memory I can say was 'good'. And I've gotten a dozen of them by now.
