Memory Library, then go back to sleep. Most of the time after Mom fed me, she insisted on playing for a bit. The play consisted of making funny faces, baby talk, and playing with my hands and feet. This was, of course, extremely embarrassing... I would almost call it mortifying. I don''t call it mortifying because I reserve that designation for soiling myself and spitting up after eating. The first time I soiled myself it took me a moment to get over my incredulity. I know in the reincarnation classes they stated that infants could not control their bowels for the first couple of years, but I had assumed the infants would be able to recognize the feeling of controlling their bowels. That is not the case at all. I felt the pressure in my bladder, but no way to control it. The resulting dirty diaper was taken care of shortly after I began crying.

Memory Library more freely. On top of passing out once the time limit is reached, I have no idea what it looks like I am doing to anyone watching me. I assume it must look like I am sleeping, but for all I know I could be staring off into space like a creepy doll. Best to keep Memory Library''s use to the minutes before I should fall asleep.

Memory Library unless I purchase another ability. There is so much to think about when it comes to the exchange in the short term that planning for the long term seems ridiculous. For the hell of it, I searched what it would take for me to become a Kryptonian... and I have to say Clark is one lucky son of a bitch.

Memory Library and reviewed my reincarnation classes from high school. Bowel control and potty training will be completed as soon as physically possible. In this matter, I do not care if I look like a genius or abnormal. When I can control my bowels, I will hold them till Mom or Dad is around to change me, and, when I can walk, the first thing I am establishing is I know how to use the toilet. For all my remaining controllable baby milestones I have a plan; I will be crawling at seven months, walking at ten months, talking simple words at twelve months, and talking in coherent sentences at two years old. It will be a drag, but I am sure I can keep up the charade. Speaking of the charade, hear comes Mom now.
Exchange and Memory Library, I would have revealed myself to my parents as soon as I could talk. Instead, I have managed to maintain my cover by disguising my exercises as playing and perusing the Exchange whenever I am forced to watch television. The day-to-day of being a toddler, after my sleep schedule normalized and I potty trained myself as soon as I could walk, was even more closely watched than when I was an infant. Despite not putting anything in my mouth that does not belong, there is always someone, usually Mom, watching me to make sure I do not get into trouble. While this means they''re good parents, it makes pretending to be a normal toddler worse than a full time job. The creativity of children is truly a unique thing. Playing with blocks, marble sliders, or puzzles is easy. The trouble appears when they give me stuffed animals or toy dinosaurs. These are just figures and adults would either put these on a shelf or use them to play games like dungeons and dragons. a child has to create an entire narrative in their head with nothing but a a few toy figures and a few minutes. Sometimes I can get away with just holding toys or arranging them in certain patterns, but, more often than not, my parents ask me what I am doing or try to join in. Coming up with new stories every time was ridiculous, especially since I could not talk in full sentences. A few halting words may seem like it would be easier to fake, but not only do I have to create the story; I also need to only use words that a one year old should understand, and still make it seem like I am trying to explain something important. I have started using the plot from films in my original universe. It may be lazy but it works for the most part. Despite the difficulty, my more mature behavior and intelligence has not been taken as anything other than being a particularly smart toddler.
Memory Library. After over a year of using the Memory Library, I can definitively say that a source of psi energy is going to be required to use any psi abilities if I do not want to spend decades training my mental fortitude. Despite all the time spent watching Smallville or experiencing old memories to decompress, the amount of time I can spend in my Memory Library has only grown from four minutes to six. At my current rate, it would take around twenty years to be able to watch a full episode of Smallville in one session. I do not even want to think how much mental fatigue using any of the other psi abilities I have researched would cost. I do not have the time to sit around training my mind when Clark could arrive any day now. It is with just a bit of disappointment and a large amount of excitement that I purchase Psi Pool as my first augment. It takes me only a split second to realize I made a mistake. I was so caught up in making my first purchase that I failed to question how my body would be upgraded to accommodate the augment. Sitting in front of the TV with my parents right behind me was not the time or place to do this.
Memory Library, there is no transition from reality. One second I am awake and the next there is nothing but darkness. I only experience the darkness for a second before my thoughts just stop. My mind is completely blank. There is no sense of anything around me or a sense of self. For all intents and purposes at that moment I did not exist. Then I was kicked back into reality. My entire body jolts into a sitting position as my eyes open and I take a large gasp. I am quickly enveloped in a hug from my mother as I get my bearings. I am in a hospital bed with wires hooked up to my head and chest.

Memory Library and begin watching the first few minutes of Smallville again.
Memory Library. I focus on the sensation of psi leaving its pool. It has been around forty-five minutes since I started watching and the Psi Pool seems to be a bit under half empty. I check my status again and there is no indicator anywhere for how much psi I have left. I have to assume that I am using about one psi per minute if forty-five minutes feels almost half empty. Doesn''t this put me in an odd spot? I have not gone to sleep naturally since my last life. Every night since being reincarnated, I have used Memory Library till I felt exhausted. Now I am trying to go to sleep with my Mother watching and it might take over an hour. I crack an eye open and see Mom still getting settled into the chair. Not only is she still getting settled in the chare, but she is in the exact same position she was in before I closed my eyes. Either Mom has gotten very consistent in how she sits down or time does not pass while I am in my Memory Library. That is so abusable. School is going to be a breeze with all of my past knowledge, perfect recall, and as much time as I need to figure out the solution. The heat of the moment will not apply to me anymore! If ever there is a time crunch just a quick pop into the Memory Library to take a moment and really think about my situation before making a decision. Thank you, System for such an amazing default ability! I close my eye again, renter Memory Library, and watch Smallville till I run out of psi and begin to feel tired. Finally, I fall asleep.
