[ there's no explanation or introduction attached to the message despite her obvious newness in the 022 of her i.d. number, just a direct, pressing question: ]

Is it pretty common for people's memories to get screwed with here?

If I were to venture a guess, I'd say you've met someone whose memories don't match up with yours. Correct?

[uncurse]

Sounds like you've heard of that kind of thing happening before.

[ she's dodgy because she's definitely 70% sure that gold can/is reading this and she's not sure if he knows her number yet. ]

[certainproclivity]

An associate of mine remembers far less than I do. I haven't thought much about the implications.

[uncurse]

Certain things might make it harder to just ignore than others.

[ like rumpel-fucking-stiltskin being her kid's grandfather and having no idea. ]

[certainproclivity]

Such as the person, in question, being dead in your time?

I assure you it's easier than you might think, once the initial shock has passed.

[uncurse]

[ being dead - her mind immediately jumps to neal, to the thought of him somehow finding his way aboard this ship the same as she had. to seeing him again, to wondering what the hell she'd even say to follow that. ]

That can happen? Dead people on this ship? How is that possible?

[certainproclivity]

In my particular case, she doesn't remember dying or anything after a specific point. Almost as if she simply hasn't experienced it at all yet.

[uncurse]

And are there other cases?

[certainproclivity]

I'm certain there are, depending on whom you speak with. Memory discrepancies aren't that uncommon- speaking as someone who stays on top of the network.

[uncurse]

"Stays on top of" sounds an awful lot like stalking.

[certainproclivity]

If you want to be blunt about it. The fact remains we're all trapped here together. I find it better to know my fellow inmates.

[uncurse]

You get to know people over a cup of coffee, not over intercepting all their messages.

[certainproclivity]

Is that an invitation?

[uncurse]

What? No!

[certainproclivity]

Then I suppose I'll keep to my tried and true method of "stalking" if it's all the same.
