That's what it says. I think it's just another fucking sheep joke.

[deicider]

[laughs]

Likely. Contributing to your aesthetic .

[leaveshishaton]

Yeah, this place is into that.

[pulling up his phone to look them up]

...Cardigan?

Isn't that....

[deicider]

[Sigh!]

Yeah, I don't know what that joke is supposed to be.

[leaveshishaton]

It's... a sweater, right?

[deicider]

[i hate this.]

It's a sweater, yeah. Kinda frumpy. The rest of avante is Ace, Gold, and Nemesis, so I've got no clue what happened there.

[leaveshishaton]

Huh... well, one guy on our team wasn't told a name at all. You could always go by something else.

[deicider]

[Makes a dismissive hand gesture]

I can't change it on my profile, so not worth the fuss. Maybe it'll end up being a really good joke down the line.

[spoilers: it so will.]

[leaveshishaton]

Heh, alright, Cardigan, then.

What's your group about?

[deicider]

Ah, 'knights.' Fighting, dueling. A lot like Heart Soldier but with a more authoritarian bend, from what I can tell.

[Gestures to their uniform, replete with fancy half-cape.]

[leaveshishaton]

Oh! Right. [slaps fist into his other hand like he just figured something out]

Gold's team.

[deicider]

Mhm, and you guys have the twin, right? Silver.

[leaveshishaton]

Yeah. Ah... I'd been thinking we must all be strangers, but what if we all know each other and just forgot....

[deicider]

I don't know about all of us... But if our memories are making friends and siblings out of strangers, that's high drama. I would expect a few more.

[leaveshishaton]

High drama.... do you think people are really watching this?

[deicider]

[Shrugs.]

I don't have any reason to doubt it yet. It doesn't change the expectations on us.

[leaveshishaton]

I guess... It's just sort of too unbelievable. I might now have my memories but I feel like I still know when something is that bizarre.

[deicider]

Oh, this is all shady as hell without a doubt. That's beyond dispute. But so far, they haven't lied about the mechanisms of success.

The memories could be total fakes too, of course, but that doesn't feel right.

[leaveshishaton]

Did you actually remember anything, or just see it on the screen...?

[deicider]

[Nods]

I remember the whole day. What I was thinking, what I was feeling... [A bit wistful,] The afterparty, too.

Aren't you getting one?

[leaveshishaton]

I guess.... it sounds a little weird. Like I'll be shoving someone else's memories into my head.

[deicider]

[Blink.]

I'm really surprised by the amount of people who don't seem to have much interest. There's nothing that says we have to buy them back, but I'm dying of curiosity.

[leaveshishaton]

I wouldn't say I'm not interested.... I guess in a way there isn't an option. There isn't much else to do. I am curious... sort of.

But since I'm 'myself' right now, even if the memories are 'mine', they aren't part of the me I am in this moment... Or something like that...

I guess I'm not sure how I feel about 'figuring out who I am' by regaining something I can't remember losing.

[deicider]

Yeah, that's more or less what I've been hearing.

[hmmm.]

Are you afraid that they'll change you? [And then, jokingly:] You must be enjoying yourself so far.

[leaveshishaton]

Whether I'm enjoying myself or not, I'm me.

I'm not worried about being changed, though.

I might as well just get it over with....
