[doublesmall]

hey, yato

question for you

have you been remembering weird shit too?

it was mostly just the gravity thing happening for me but since then it's been getting weirder, I want to know if it's just me noticing an uptick in it

[goen]

[ A text from the boss. Work info?! ... Nah, just some weird memory bullshit. ]

Oh yeah, sure.

At first I saw a couple things about stage performing, but then I saw a ghost girl and some demon animals killing me or something.

There was even a flying fish!! Σ(･口･)

What weird stuff are you seeing? ( ु•⌄•)

[doublesmall]

jesus yours are on a different level of fucked up, huh.

mine aren't exactly weird it's just

I'm not really sure what to think about what they mean, you know?

promise nothing leaves this conversation, first

[goen]

[ WOW don't knock his fucked up memories?? Yato thought this would be a crazy whackjob vision jam, but sadly it is not to be... ]

I promise!

[doublesmall]

[SORRY YATO this is a different kind of vision jam...]

it's a different kind of weird with mine

like, my cousin and I remember the same person, but it's not really the same person? different versions of what I think is the same guy, maybe

I only remembered him as my boss at first but apparently he's a fucking mob boss because I definitely remembered being part of the mafia

and I thought I would feel worse about that, I guess? I mean. it's not that it isn't weird for me it's just that I remember not feeling bad at all about trying to kill someone and what do you do with that shit??

[goen]

[ Okay all of this is genuinely interesting and Yato definitely has opinions about mob life and violence and he'll get to all of that in a second but ]

omg this explains the hats

[doublesmall]

THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN

[goen]

[ SWIFTLY NOT ANSWERING THAT QUESTION ]

I can't say I'm too shocked at the idea of you being involved with the mob. You've always been kind of a tough guy, boss... c(ﾟ^ ﾟ)
How do you feel if you think about killing someone right now? Bad or not bad??

[doublesmall]

it depends, I guess?

if they deserved it it'd worth doing. like, if someone tried to hurt anya, or toshi or you, I wouldn't feel bad about that.

[but don't think he'll forget about the hat thing, he will get back to it eventually...]

[goen]

Boss
You really do love me!!

[doublesmall]

love is a strong word okay

[don't cALL HIM OUT, shit]

you work for me, of course I'd go after someone if they fucked with you. not that I don't think you could handle it yourself, but you get the picture here.

[goen]

I read you loud and clear. (°◡°♡)

[ does he tho ]

Anyway it sounds like you feel unsure because of this mob thing! Just between you and me, I don't think mobsters are any better or worse than regular people.

It's all about who they know and what life threw at them, see??

Once you see your friends do numbers on people a few times, the idea gets less shocking. It's all about exposure! So you remembering that you didn't feel bad about trying to kill someone isn't necessarily a reflection on you as a person. It's a reflection on your experiences! I see no conflict here.

[doublesmall]

yeah I guess that makes sense

I'm not 100% sure it's related but if it is, I think I got into shit pretty young?

I remember a woman teaching me how to use the gravity shit when I was a kid, she had weird powers too, and I remember knowing it was important to be able to fight

I didn't want anesan to think I couldn't handle myself

I don't know anything else about her, though.

[and a minute later, after some hesitation:]

so is this just the kind of shit you think about, or is it experience, or- what?

I'm not really in a position to judge either way so

[goen]

[ The return of the gravity shenanigans... Of the people Yato's talked to about these so-called flashbacks, Chuuya's had the most comprehensive picture of events by far. It's food for thought.

He ponders for a moment about how much he should be telling his employer, but in end, Chuuya is Chuuya first. And Yato knows how much emphasis Chuuya puts on discretion... ]

Before I moved here, I used to run with those kinds of crowds. It started in high school and never really stopped, I guess. Maybe they're attracted to my cool and mysterious vibe. (･ᴗ･̥̥̥)

For the record, I don't get invested in turf wars or power struggles or whatever. You don't have to worry about me ditching work to participate in some old feud the next town over. Everything here's pretty tame, too.

[doublesmall]

yeah don't worry about that, I wouldn't be talking to you about this in the first place if I didn't think I could trust you. you're good, I didn't figure you'd go running off or anything.

you mind telling me about it sometime though?

I mean I remember that I did it but nothing about actually doing it, you know, feels like I should know more about it. maybe it'd help me figure more shit out, I remembered my boss because of the similar guy my cousin talked about so

[goen]

Yeah sure. I was kind of a drifter though so my knowledge is more breadth than depth...

It sounds like you're thinking pretty seriously about this stuff.

[ Yato's just been passing off his visions as weird little happenings. Should he be thinking about them more seriously too...? ]

[doublesmall]

honestly I probably wouldn't be if it weren't for something I remembered actually happening? before that I figured it was just... I don't know, a weird dream. it's only recently that it's been happening more often, it was just the one incident for a month or so.

I just feel like I should be trying to find out more, you know? I mean, if I turn out to be good at this like I turned out to actually be able to do the gravity shit, it

alright it'd be a bad idea probably but look, it'd be stupid not to use a skill if I remembered how

maybe I could afford to actually move out of this shitty apartment who fucking knows

[goen]

[ .........??????????? ]

You're already thinking of moving again? What's wrong with the new place?

[doublesmall]

[oh

oh right

.......he never corrected yato]

yeah about that

I was never moving, I just said that because it was in public

kinda assumed you'd noticed, honestly

[goen]

You lied??? omg I can't believe this

[doublesmall]

I didn't want people to know I actually lived there, alright??

[goen]

Now I'm worried!! Is the bar going under?? ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д`ﾟ)ﾟ｡
Should we advertise more?? I like working there! I don't wanna find other work!

[doublesmall]

shit, does it really look that bad

see this is exactly why I don't like people seeing it

the bar is fine.

[goen]

Oh okay good...
I just figured a bar owner would be pretty loaded...

[doublesmall]

yeah well I'd rather let people think that

but I've only been running it for a few months now

I didn't buy the place, I was a bartender there, and I worked for the Quill next door before that. same guy ran both places, the bar went to me and the restaurant to his kid.

~*glamorous*~ right
