it's like a quarter life crisis

Why are so many of you so young? I'm not the only one at a more mature age, am I? Is anyone over 20? I'm getting wrinkles just thinking about this.

[He's just 25 but if he has one more person tell him they're too young to drink when he thought they were older... his heart can't take it.]

I'm only familiar with some of the Japanese ones, and only passingly. I suppose it's ironic, but I didn't have much interest in religion before all this.

[razzledazzles]

Is that more or less ironic than my god being a priest?

I can't recall anything about religion, but I feel like I would have a feeling about them if I had any relation to it.

[koukai_kirai]

Not sure. Could depend on what god he served, maybe.

It's strange to think of where the border is between conscious memory and that sort of familiarity. I think I'd drive myself half-crazy over it if I were a shinki.

[razzledazzles]

Hmm... That's true. I haven't asked.

But you're right, there. It's incredibly aggravating to not be able to tell what thoughts and feelings are in the moment and what are from something I've forgotten.

[koukai_kirai]

It doesn't seem to trouble my shinki too much. Suppose he doesn't overthink things quite as much as I can.

[razzledazzles]

I have a friend who's similar to that. It's hard for me not to think about all of this.

Sake does help, though.

[koukai_kirai]

With not thinking? I imagine it does.

[razzledazzles]

Haha, something like that, yes. You can drink, enjoy the flavor and admire the moon and the night weather. It helps many things.

[koukai_kirai]

A medicine for all ills, in that case.

[Not as if he's knocking it. He'd be a hypocrite if he did, for one.]

[razzledazzles]

That's it, definitely.

[koukai_kirai]

Well. As I said, when you want to meet, just let me know.

[razzledazzles]

In a few days, or perhaps next week, I will do just that! Thank you again.

[koukai_kirai]

My pleasure. See you then.
