That's... more than nothing. Military turned mercenary is... kinda common, I think. I know some people who have been mercenaries.

[retellers]

Pretty popular career path, yeah. It doesn't tell me that much about myself. 'Xcept that getting paid is more trouble than its worth.

[chanteuser]

Suggests you're a fighter. It means you might find some more clues in any memories that come back about who you worked for, or what groups you were with. Like, um--

[ she pulls out the dog tags she got the other week. ]

Info like this. Maybe you had some sort of identifier as well?

[retellers]

Wouldn't be able to read it even if I did. Like with Bucky or Lup.

[chanteuser]

[ ughhhhhhh ]

This place is a pain when it comes to the little details.

[retellers]

Like it's not a pain when it comes to everything else, too?

[chanteuser]

Well, yes. But it's the whole... not being able to explain things to people when they forget them loophole that annoys me the most.

[ have you ever tried to explain to a priest who forgot he's a priest that he's a priest and mostly made of metal? it's not easy. ]

[retellers]

Guess it means the only way you can really remember something is by yourself.

[chanteuser]

It seems that way. As long as you're remembering some things too, I think that's a good sign.

[retellers]

Yeah. [ ... ] You guys keep forgetting, though.

[chanteuser]

We do.

[ ... ] Admittedly the Realm doesn't have as much to take from me here. Maybe it'll get bored eventually.

[retellers]

... Maybe. [ press x to doubt, tho ]

[chanteuser]

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst...?

[ it's worked out so far? maybe? ]

[retellers]

You still got hope?

[chanteuser]

I’d be in trouble if I had none at all.
