I mean, I was, but the only response I was after was one where people didn't feel inclined to murder me over it.

[ ...and i also didn't want to fuck up the way the people from the spaceship saw their version of me too much.

he still really doesn't understand how that one ended up so much less shitty of a person than him. it's made his own relationships with the sprace cast here more than a little uncomfortable, when it seems like they're constantly expecting him to be something he isn't.

he considers the question for a moment, frowning. ]

...I'll stop trying until I end up in another one of these games and get a chance to try something else, I guess. Not saying I'd consciously choose to do that, but... if it doesn't work, I know that's what's going to happen.

[ Totty. Scawwy's development really did something to you. ]

Have people not tried visiting you? Unknown factors and variables could break the formula, possibly...

[ He doesn't want Todomatsu to just stop trying. Even worse that it will end up being out of his control. ]

[ honestly it's more like sprace was a perfect storm that made him a better person than he would usually be... that version is the outlier ]

They haven't, as far as I know, but I never really invited anyone either. [ because his life is embarrassing!!! ] It's really awkward since we didn't have any kind of communication device, so you can't ask someone if it would be okay to come over until you've already shown up at their door.

Hopefully this one will be better for that kind of thing, since we... actually have technology here.

[ oh wow... well happy for him. ]

Just travel? [ THAT IS AWKWARD. ] It may be worth experimenting... People coming into your world could interfere with the script or force it to improvise.

[ But that's just him navel-gazing. ]

In Heaven, we only got the phones, so if the travel agency kiosk does end up working, it'll be interesting, though strange.

[ scawwy continues to suck even when it's long over!!! ]

Yeah... Maybe.

[ there are some people here he'd be more okay with having in his world, at least, now that everyone kind of knows about it anyway. ]

Do you remember things from Heaven now? Or do you just have this phone full of contacts you don't know?

[ he believes in you!! have the spirit of resistance! ]

... Been remembering since the week of memories flying everywhere.

[ Sometimes you just go along with people assuming you don't remember. ]

They're still contacts from a thousand years ago.

Because the memories are more like secondhand ones, you mean? Or has it actually been a long time for you?

Literal. When I was in Heaven, that was my past life in the Middle Ages.

[ It is... Awkward to think about having ghosted all those people for so long. ]

Oh. Damn.

Do you still have the phone after all that?

The original phone? No.

The contacts just transferred over when I did get a phone in the modern age, though. I guess it's whatever magic jumbo Heaven is capable of.
