013. Text

[The text that hits the network from Ishimaru's device is surprisingly brief and to-the-point today; no video for now, though it's not because he's a broken mess this time, at least. Just at that weird point where he's exhausted and completely riled at the same time, so his body isn't really sure what it wants to do with itself.]

How do you hope that other people will remember you? Not necessarily after you die or anything, though you can answer for that, too.

It's nothing pressing; just something I've been thinking about today.

Whether you respond or not, I hope that today is a good and productive day, and if not, I hope that tomorrow will be better for you. Keep your head up.

[For those who are in the Dangan House today, Ishimaru can be found there; he's mostly looking after Parker while she's in her update coma, but he's not opposed to company.]

Ain't that just the question.

Me, I like to make sure I leave a lasting impression on people. Be the kind of guy that sticks out in their minds, whether that's because they like you or because you're too loud to forget.

Does it matter whether you're remembered positively or not? I mean, being too loud to forget can go either way, depending on what you're being loud about.

Not in the slightest. I don't care if people love or hate me, as long as they remember me.

What about the ones who like you? Won't it bother them if you're remembered negatively by others?

How would I know? If it doesn't bother me, why should they care?

Well, I guess it also depends on the bad thing you're being remembered for. There's a difference between being kind of a jerk and managing to ruin lives.

Ruining lives, that's an awful lot of effort. Even I've got standards, y'know?

That's good to know! I've known a few people who don't, and I've also known a few people who have managed to do it accidentally, but it's good to know that at least you wouldn't do it on purpose.

Nah, not really into that kinda thing. Occasional harmless prank or five, sure, but I'm not really in the business of irreparable damage anymore.

[...what]

"Anymore"...?

Yeah, you know. Had to give up on the whole 'killing people and waging war' thing. Even bloodshed for a good cause doesn't really suit a nice place like this, does it?
