You must have lived a very dramatic life.

[leaveshishaton]

....yeah. I guess so. That was my gang. Uh... old gang, I guess.

[zugzwange]

Definitely old gang.

[leaveshishaton]

...hah. Yeah. It doesn't look like they would've taken me back even if I earned it.

[frowns and folds his hands behind his head, thoughtful but not distraught exactly]

...are you going to get one?

[zugzwange]

It looks like a scam doesn't it?

[leaveshishaton]

How do you mean...?

[zugzwange]

You lost your memories, you need to buy them back, but you have no idea of knowing if they're yours or not or what purpose they serve and if you go for this option they get broadcast around? Seems suspicious.

[leaveshishaton]

Well, you can do it the more expensive way.

And it's true, I guess there's no way to be completely sure they are real. So, what, you just don't want to know?

[zugzwange]

It's it better to see how it plays out first when idiots are rushing to prove the theory for me?

[leaveshishaton]

What's so idiotic about wanting to know something about yourself?

[zugzwange]

Weren't the profiles telling enough? Hm?

[leaveshishaton]

Obviously they were fucking useless!

You don't really have any other options, either you get a memory now or later. What do you think is going to be so great about it 'later'?

[zugzwange]

If you had a bunch of people without memories, what would you gain from giving them false information?

[leaveshishaton]

If the point was to brainwash us with false information, they don't need to wait for us to buy them. Why have us wake up without memories at all? And if they already took all your memories, they're obviously gaining from that, too.

[zugzwange]

Earning something and being given something is a little different, but it doesn't seem like you understand the idea at all. Well, why don't you get one of everything? A memory and one of those 'powers' and all? I'd like to see how it changes you.

[leaveshishaton]

I understand it fine, stop treating me like I'm an idiot. I'm saying if we'd woken up and instead of having no memories, just had all the memories they wanted us to have, we wouldn't be questioning it at all. We'd just be whoever they wanted us to be.

It's not an unreasonable concern to have, but also there's no winning thinking like that.

[zugzwange]

That's the barest assumption, you're ignoring a few other possibilities but really, it isn't here or there with this conversation.

[leaveshishaton]

[eyeroll]

So whatever, you're waiting to see if we all get brainwashed or something? Or you'd rather just start your life over from nothing?

[zugzwange]

You're not going to get one of those fun superpowers?

[leaveshishaton]

I don't have enough points right now. And they all look stupid.

[zugzwange]

You never know when one might come in handy.

[leaveshishaton]

What the hell can rams even do?

[zugzwange]

They have hard heads.

[leaveshishaton]

I've got that one covered naturally.

[zugzwange]

Everything can take improvement.
