While the variety of virused posts is admittedly a change of pace, I'd rather know for certain what my friends on here could be afflicted by so I would know how much to worry. Since that reassurance isn't available right now - everyone? Could you at least tell me if you're in any immediate danger? Most viruses aren't harmful, but there have to be some in the history of the community that have been...

As for me, I don't seem to be affected. Nothing of more interest than drawing water from the well with Kuzuki-nii happened today, and even the memory-altering viruses are interesting. That's something to be grateful for.

((Issei's affected by the 'what if?' virus - more specifically, what if Kuzuki and Caster had survived the war. Possessed!Issei will come after too many questions get asked, and his/her/its? intro will be in a separate post.))

I should be used to it at this point, but no.

I'm not sure if it's something you can really get used to.

...what was that you said about memory-altering viruses?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I can't completely guarantee that I haven't been affected by anything, since there are viruses that altered my memories and made me think everything was normal. But even those have some obvious giveaway that it was a virus: "Issei, you're not a fairy." "Issei, you're not married." Since nothing as interesting as that is going on, I can only assume that I'm not affected.

...right.

Well, I've never heard you mention this Kuzuki before, but that doesn't have to mean anything. But I wish I had some way of knowing what's real and what isn't.

One of my elder brothers. He doesn't come up in conversation much, but I have mentioned him.

Yes, I understand that feeling. They're less distinct now, but after everything that's happened I have years of fake memories. It's... unnerving.

Aah, I see.

Yeah, I can relate. ...it's unsettling if you can't even be sure of what you know anymore.
Anyway, as long as you're feeling okay.

At the moment, I am. And if it's the same for you, that's a small mercy.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Let's hope it stays that way.

I'll pray for that.
