Perhaps this question has already been answered... but. Humor me, if you will, my numbered friends.

Are there those among us who have had memories... that are similar? Or even the same? Say, perhaps, you recall the same person. Or two of you remember someone very similar -- a man with specific facial features, for example.

How... do you know if it's the same memory? Or if it's just a very close coincidence?

[He pauses. The sound of a long, heavy sigh is heard. This next question isn't easy to ask.]

And...

Are... there others... who recall being, to put it bluntly, robotic?

[The voice Yunji hears is Betty White an old lady's voice with a bit of a Texas twang.] Mr Lyall and I remember a young man named Biffy! He'd been bitten by a werewolf and Memory Mr Lyall brought him to Memory Me's memory parlor.

Yes. A boy and I both described the same man from our memories. He had the memory of the man's name, and once he told it to me, I remembered it as well. Presumably, it could still be a coincidence, but it seems unlikely, as we also seem to remember each other.

I can't help with the robots, unfortunately.

[sassymaru]

Ah. So I take it... memories familiar to more than one person are nothing new?

[sassymaru]

remember each other? how do u mean ?

thats all right

i dont expect everyone to be of assistance with that part

[predestinarianism]

He introduced himself to me using his previous life's name, which seems to have caused me to remember him introducing himself the first time.

If it's any consolation, it sounds like it could be interesting. [she thinks it's hella cool that's just not a very mature thing to say]

I don't think so? I've only been doing this for a couple weeks.

[sassymaru]

Then you have my sympathies.

[sassymaru]

ah i see

that does seem to trigger a lot of things -- names i mean

but at least you have a friend to suffer with hm?



it could be

though im not entirely sure how to take it

[goldenclothes]

I've shared memories with someone. Several times over now, actually. A specific person though, no, not yet. I assume that will be somewhere down the road, though.

[Hey there, policeman.]

my echo caused echoes in other people. those caused more echoes for me. and THOSE caused more echoes for those other people.

pretty sure that's not coincidence.

[sassymaru]

Shared memories, hm?

How did you know for certain they were... shared? And not simply coincidences?

Robotic? And I thought my alien thing was weird.

[sassymaru]

in that case ........



yes i would have to agree

that would be very difficult to coincidentalize

i just made up that word

[sassymaru]

Yes... well.

Surprise, danna.

[Wow that couldn't have been more lackluster if he tried.]

[sassymaru]

damn

they dont like me over there

something about my adjectives being inappropriate for print

[goldenclothes]

Names of places and things remain consistent, as well as certain events. They could be coincidences, but to me at least it's reminiscent of living in a small town. Everything seems specific enough to say we were in the same place at the same time.

i'm sure you could convince them on this one, if you try real hard

[synonymouswithdookie]

Wait wait, so were you the robot, or are you remembering other robots?

[sassymaru]

i tried very hard with

[sassymaru]

I was a robot.

Is... what I was trying to delicately say.

[sassymaru]

Ahh, yes.

I can see how it would be easier to verify memories, if they have so much in common.

[goldenclothes]

A matter of frequency, I suppose... though it does depend on what you're talking about.

I actually find it somewhat comforting to have someone else around.

Are you finding the same? That there's someone you might share a "history" with?
