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 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.

[judgementkazzy]

Ouch. I hope you get some better ones, then.

[thesettingsun]

Thanks. Should I wish for you to get memories that make more sense?

[judgementkazzy]

It's okay.
I have plenty that make sense, it's getting them in order that's the hard part.

[thesettingsun]

I'd like my memories to be datestamped. That'd be so much easier.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, same here.
I can kinda tell by how old my friends get or what I'm wearing, but it's hard to really know.

[thesettingsun]

Don't tell me past you is the kind of guy who owns five versions of the same outfit and just wears the same thing all the time.
