Oh, the things you feel guilty about now. But hey, at least it makes for a great story now.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

That high? This is going to be easier than I thought.

@Artifact

They do. I have too many stories like that for my own good. One time a friend told me this dude’s voice on the radio was “the best he ever heard”. I wanted to be cool like the guy on the radio, so I just duplicated his voice. For a little over a day. Pretty sure he thought I was joking at first until it got very old.
*Chuckles*
Even had to sit down and have a serious talk with me about why it was bizarre.

@Revolutionary

Are you affiliated With the IA?

@souleaterfan320

I lived in it as a nomad for a while. But not in ways other than knowing some friends, or the obvious connection to my dad.

Mistakes? What kinds of mistakes are there to make like that?

@Artifact

The kind of mistakes you make when you’re innocent, and don’t really understand social implications… Example: early on, I was talking to a lady I met in a bar. Was there because I had made friends with the bartender, but she told me she really liked the guy she went there with but wasn’t super sure if she should say anything, and that she “found it hard to be honest with him.” So I said “Oh, it won’t be hard for me” and turned without hesitation to him the moment he came back and told him how she felt for her. She ran out out of embarassment, and I had no clue why at the time.

So what was that wandering journey like? I’m impressed you’ve made it this far.

@Artifact

A lot of meandering about the IA, hanging around places, meeting people, making connections. Making mistakes.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Oh, so this is all after that moment. Got it.

@Artifact

It was. At least it had to have been for it to make sense to me.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Did you go back to the way you were before? Someone said you lost your memory at some point.

@Artifact

It’s a bit more complicated than just having lost it. But remembering things now, that happened to me before I started that journey I mentioned, is very difficult. Super hit-or-miss with a lot of miss.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Did that reset when you lost your memory?

@Artifact

What do you mean?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

However you learned it, you got the philosophy part down.

@Artifact

The hard way. I left for a long time, and went alone, into the world with the minute sliver of personality I was given, and just learned it from the people I found myself around over several years. Very slowly. I was not quick on the uptake.
*Looks up and chuckles*
How awkward I was, in retrospect.

*Smiles*
You do sound human.

@Artifact

*Laughs*
I’ll emphasize, I was not always that way. I had to try really hard. So it’s nice to hear someone say it straight.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Would it have an impact on your personality?

@Artifact

I would say so. I didn’t start with one, really. But I became who I am through choices and experience. How much different I would be if I just knew the answers to everything, I could only imagine.
