[Guess who echoed back an explosive temper that got him into a screaming match with a particularly rude customer. Turns out bosses don’t appreciate workers who call customers “you stupid fucking asshole” and throw their groceries on the floor.]

Wait, are you saying that your Echo actually changed your personality?

[ Because seriously no that wasn't supposed to happen. She had just told Cecil that it didn't seem like stuff like that happened. Clearly he must be exaggerating what happened or something. ]

wow your reading comprehension is amazing

[Sorry Linda. He's always kind of an ass, let alone when he's in a bad mood.]

I didn't think it was supposed to be able to do that. I thought it was just... like powers and physical traits and stuff.

[ This is bad this is bad this could be really really bad. ]

SURPRISE!!!

learn something new every day

[ ... Jerkface. You really need to learn how to stop this crap. Not that Linda would actually say that, but still. ]

...Do you think you'll go back to more how you are if you wait a little bit?

only if i lose all my echoes probably this isn't the first time i get bits of his personality but the other times were more like quirks and they didn't get me FIRED point is it sticks

[ Damn it, that wasn't what she wanted to hear at all. But she couldn't help that, could she? ]

Maybe if you get a job you can get something that involves... unloading trucks or something? I mean, there's not a lot of jobs that really let you not interact with people.

i don't need to COMPLETELY AVOID ppl i just don't want to service em no one likes dealing w/ 6 assholes in a row i might just throw something at no 7 bc of that stupid echoe but yeah maybe moving things would be good i got super strength so why not use it

Yeah, definitely. Who knows, maybe that super strength of yours can help you get a job like that over someone else?

probably but i'll have to be sneaky about it i don't want ppl to know i'm numbered

... Yeah. That's probably a good plan. People knowing about that might make things a lot more difficult for you, wouldn't it?

yeah i don't think the world is ready for me yet

[That is, he's scared.]

[ She doesn't know what it's like to be afraid of this, because, well, even with the network, she didn't have any abilities or anything that actually changed her. Though she's a bit worried about that now, though she's not yet worried about being found out.]

I guess it'd really be a lot different to know who someone is personally, rather than just that people with abilities exists...

yeah i mean on one hand ppl go all "wow that's awesome" on the other hand ppl get murdered which is it gonna be

Even just... ignoring the whole murder thing for a second, having people being afraid of you would really suck too.

[ But seriously, she didn't want to think about the murders right now. Not while she was safe at home. ]

[That hits the nail right on the head. Emil remembered how people treated his other self, and he didn't need lynch mobs in this life, too. If anyone ever finds out he is actually a monster...]

yeah

[And that's all he has to say. Just thinking about it makes him uncomfortable, so - deflection!]

so you're keeping it a secret too huh

Considering I live in Vegas, not doing that would be pretty stupid.

... Also, I just got on this network and my only echo was a memory of chorus class, so I don't even have the powers to prove it even if I wanted to go public.

oh chorus class sounds surprisingly underwhelming

Yeah. Like, what's even the point of having me get stuff from my past life if it's something like that?

don't ask me i don't have a single normal memory and most of them are also rly dumb

... What exactly do you mean by 'dumb'?

ok so past me was a hero fighting monsters and he traveled around w/ a party i remember him stopping mid fight to vandalize a teammate’s hat and then he and the monsters forgot their differences bc they were all laughing at that teammate

... Wow. That's pretty ridiculous.

I mean, it's enough that if it didn't sound so stupid I'd be thinking that you were messing with me.

i have proof check this out that's the guy and his hat says "penis mask"

... Wow. That's... that sure does say "penis mask" on it.

[ What the heck? Who the... why? Why? ]

I'd hate to be the person who got that back...
