[parodeity]

what actually happened is someone who isnt here anymore
got back like 1 of each kind of fruit
and like the next month everything flipped

[doitrockapella]

...Got back as in they remembered it, or it came in a box from Retrospec?

[parodeity]

the latter

[doitrockapella]

...Which means that anything they send us might have the same effect, at some point?

[parodeity]

its possible
i think sometimes
its like a snowball effect
like
i know SEVERAL people who remember chocobos
so maybe volume has something to do with it who knows
or time
but like i said i think
maybe its the rock candy thing

[doitrockapella]

How many people? I'm curious who's out there.

[parodeity]

uh
there were four i could count back when i did that callout for people who knew shit
but one of them isnt around now i think

[doitrockapella]

Who did you identify? If they answered the callout, then surely it's not a secret?

[parodeity]

some guy who isnt around now
whose name eludes me i just know he forgot
freya
and then chloe knew a third girl
and im pretty sure dude or freya confirmed a fourth who wasnt that girl

some of them were being cagey

[doitrockapella]

I can't imagine why they would be, I say, as a cagey person to another cagey person.

[parodeity]

yeah i luckily do not really expect ppl to not be cagey
im a hypocrite sometimes but even i have my limits
and those limits are expecting ppl to tell me shit when i dont tell them shit

[doitrockapella]

I wouldn't recommend going into the private investigator business, then. "Expecting people to tell you things when you don't tell them things" is essentially the job description.

look the openness scale is hinata > dave > kirigiri always

[parodeity]

yeah i dont think itd be for me anyway
i feel like it would involve a bit too much tragedy
and also
i like to keep my nose out of other peoples business if not invited in i guess?

reasons i love kirigiri: this

[doitrockapella]

And I'm just the opposite, I think. I like knowing everything about everything — and everyone, too.

no one comes close to her on the cagey asshole scale

[parodeity]

well i like to know i just
well given what i asked you for advice on
you can maybe see why i dont really like to press people for information
or get in their business
unless im sure they dont like
mind me being there i guess

[doitrockapella]

...Have you ever worried about that with me? You haven't thought that I mind you being around, do you?

[parodeity]

i kind of worried you might not want me to have seen that dream
but you didnt seem to mind too much

[doitrockapella]

I minded reliving it more than I minded you seeing it.

And the one you saw wasn't the only one I had. There was another one that was more...

How was it you put it earlier? "Just fears and how they define you"? Mine were like that too.

[parodeity]

yeah
i was talking with someone else the other day
about memories and what defines us
and i think
i want to work on things
like i said
and thats why i wanted to work on this

[doitrockapella]

I hope your methods of working on it end up being a little more effective than mine. :)

[parodeity]

lmao probably not
but like
if your methods end up not working and you wanna talk
like i said im around

i think everyone kind of needs to do them you know
even if were not great at working on things
trying maybe counts for something

[doitrockapella]

Have you heard of exposure therapy? Confronting the thing you're afraid of until the point when you're not afraid of it anymore?

I'm sure sooner or later it'll take, but it's not easy in the meantime.

Talking to you about things might be a better bet, in the long run.

[parodeity]

i have yeah
not sure i have the disposition for it
i tend to learn to shut off and not deal
which functions
but is supposedly not great
