...I mean, I definitely won't disagree there. People are kinda nosy assholes a lot of the time by nature. And unfortunately Manners mean you can't always say fuck off. I mean, some people can, and I would, but my Ma would maybe have my head if I did it on the regular.

...that's right. Sometimes I forget people actually grew up here.

[Because she didn't. And Yuuko didn't.

And her friend circle is very very small.

So she's less used to being around people who grew up in Recolle and more used to people who moved here instead.]

Must be a pain though, having her over you like that.

I guess? I mean, I never thought of it like that.

[ HE IS A MAMA'S BOY. ]

As to growin' up here, I moved here when I was eight, from Texas.

[ the accent may have given him away tho. ]

That probably counts as growing up, I think. I only got her three years ago by comparison.

[Three years isn't long enough to lose the accent of a non-native speaker, though.]

What made you guys move out here?

Dad's work. He's in computers.

[ a vague account, but. his dad's job is...boring................... ]

You?

Finished school. Felt like it.

[Also vague.

For entirely different reasons.]

I guess I like the independence.

My brother is kinda like that. Although he also dropped out of college...I actually don't know if you attend?

Didn't go to college.

[Although she was all set up to go to a really prestigious one back in Japan. For someone with such a crappy job, her grades were top of the class.]

I work at one of the Arcades down in Tisse. The smaller one. Dunno if you've ever been.

[The bigger one by the boardwalk is more popular, so.]

I don't think I have been - I know which one you're talkin' about, but we usually go to the boardwalk one. Does the arcade you work at have anythin' different?

[ since. he's never been. ]

Well, honestly? We rely on the fact we try and get all the older games the boardwalk doesn't have any more. Stuff like knights of the round, the old 2d pavement fighter games, ridge racer...

It's basically a shameless attempt at grabbing people with nostalgia, but it isn't like those games aren't classics to begin with, you know?

[Despite everything...she likes her job, really.]

Huh. Bro and I might swing by sometime, then - we're both into the shameless nostalgia shit. It can be more fun than the modern stuff sometimes? Even if the controls are a little less forgiving. That can be part of the fun, too.

Pretty much. Everyone thinking games aren't as hard anymore are mostly thinking back on the fact they were playing games with janky controls when they were like 8.

You should come by Friday if you're free; we're having double credits night. There's no better time to check if you like what you see.

[It's how they get ya.]

I'll ask Dirk if he's free and come by if so. Are you workin' then, or is the sales pitch just second nature by now?

[ it sounds second nature ]

...both.

[As much as she hates to admit it.

But money for the arcade is money for her.]

I'm around most of the time. We're a small place with a small number of staff, so you're likely to see me more often than not, no matter when you come by.

In that case, I'll keep it in mind - and, hey. If it's not weird to ask, have you remembered any other shit?

[ she'd had a kind of violent memory and she has red eyes so. maybe...? she remembers stuff as weird as he does? ]

...not yet. Not since the first time.

[Nobunaga's life was too wacky and intense for all this SOL shit she goes through in recolle.]

Why? Something happen?

Uh. I guess? Mostly just still gettin' back weird as fuck memories. Like. Fish hitler bein' a thing apparently and also alternate universe brothers and just - so many people talk about normal shit they remember and I was hopin' there were more in the weirdo brigade?

[ PLEASE ]

...did I ever give you the exact details of my one, when you first asked on the network?

[Did she leave out the part with the maid and the train car because

it might not be equally as strange but it's not exactly normal.]

Uh...not really. Just grabbing a sword, I think.

It was a swordfight on a moving train with some samurai girl while a maid watched, cheering her on to beat me.

So...I mean, it isn't as weird I guess, but...

[It's not exactly mundane.]

Well...it's a little more weird?

[ not the Weirdest he's heard (...or had), but it's less normal-people. dave's shoulders relax. ] Honestly, so many people seem to have normal mundane shit I was startin' to go "why", you know?

I guess we're not all remembering the same thing.

So distinctions like weird versus not weird and violent versus not violent are going to pop up, inevitably..."why" is still a good question, though.

But we're not gonna have an answer to that until we figure out just what we're remembering.

I've heard lots of theories and lots of things people would prefer aren't theories. Personally? I think another life ain't a bad guess. My Bro agrees with me, I think.

[ that doesn't answer some of the questions raised, though, like why the fuck. ]

Hm...

[It's not a bad theory, at least. Reincarnation could absolutely be a thing.]

So what do you reckon? We were all forced to forget, or we're remembering things we shouldn't?

[The former being artificial living circumstances, the latter being how usually you're not meant to remember anything from a "past life".

She isn't sure which one sounds worse.]

I reckon [ with full texan twang ] that maybe it's both at once. I mean...either we were "reborn" or just brainwiped, and either way I don't know if we're supposed to be rememberin' shit. Except the whole "chance to remember" prize kind of puts paid to that, you know?
