(no subject)

Is anyone else having trouble getting a hold of people outside the city? I've been trying to reach my relatives and friends back home, but it's getting harder and harder to get anything through and I can't figure out why.

At this rate I might be stuck in town for Thanksgiving. I hope everything's alright.

Oh. And does anyone want macarons? I was learning how to make them and I made way too many.

Locking up wouldn't necessarily stop people.
They'd still find ways to break the lock.

[...]

Or what if it's something else they're hiding from?
Something that'd see more than the empty rooms that we'd find when we go in there?

no literally
like there are no locks, no knobs. it’s like the door turns into a wall.

[ . . . yes, though. this is why he asked him in the first place; all of eren’s ideas and search plans have found a dead end at this point. he needed more things he didn’t think about, and what better person to ask than the one he trusts in judgement more than himself. ]

i went in there last month with titan, and there were things snooping around in there
i don’t know what, but they weren’t human
you’re probably onto something, especially with the information they left there

[Oh, he hadn't heard about this before]

What info was it?

Edited 2017-11-27 17:51 (UTC)

it was in a contract.

there were four founders of the retrospec project (clarence vanderweele, georgia mahoney, phillip spinnato and myrtle cavendish) agreed to save worlds all over the universe that are being destroyed. how, i don’t think anyone knows yet, and what it is that’s destroying them is still in the air. i’m guessing it has something to do with what happened in august.

they made rescue teams and collected “seeds” that were brought back with them to a safe haven to preserve the destroyed world somehow while they build up a new universe. with what the last employee post said and what other people found: those seeds have something to do with memories, and the safe haven is recollé.

something went wrong between two of the four founders decades ago.

Wow. That's all a little unsettling...

[Being referred to as seeds? Somehow that's even worse than the other terms]

Any idea what went wrong?

vanderweele and his wife were involved in murdering spinnato’s four kids.

there was a letter on one of the desks for vanderweele that implied he destroyed the family line to save himself. he got kicked off the program and taken somewhere else for his sentence, but there’re no records of it ever happening. not like his wife, who got the death sentence.

Okay, that's really bad.

Why would murdering kids save himself? And where would he have gone? And why the different sentences?

“we started this program to save worlds, not yourself” was something they said. it has to do with the spinnato family line, they were probably the ones that would keep this program going when phillip died. i’m pretty sure vanderweele wanted to end it.

i wish i knew for sure, though. it feels like he was supposed to get a sentence but never did. or, those are hidden somewhere too. i’m wondering if he ever actually died in the first place.

Oh. I wonder why he wanted to end it...

If he's still alive...he could be behind some of the stuff that's been happening.

it’s the same conclusion i came to
then he’d have to be pretty old, though, and it’s still just speculation
but if it isn’t weird already, it’s feels connected

Yeah...
I think it's something worth remembering, at least.
Just in case.

i have notes and posts bookmarked if you want to see them.
how do you like your waffles?

Sure, I'll read them.
They might have to wait until after finals though, my head's crammed enough as it is.

[But at least he'll actually read them unlike Zack!!]

Oh, I like them with lots of fruit.
Why, do you wanna go to that waffle place?

i almost forgot about those
lmk when they’re over

[ HE DEFINITELY WONT CRAM YOU but pls read those tell them they good ]

i can bring them over if you’re busy
but if you can do breaks i’ll pick you up on your time

Last day of the term is December 8th!
Then I'll be free as a bird!

[SO THE END IS NEAR THANK GOD. And babe everything you do is wonderful]

Haha
