1) don't be dumb. my name isn't a pun on wendigo. i'm not a wendigo. i'm a humanoid from aht. 2) i can probably kill you more efficiently than a wendigo anyway? what the fuck do they even do? 3) i don't care about the other inane bullshit enough to comment. ok, the number list thing is boring as fuck. moving on. the kids talked about grabbing souls and them being knocked out of alignment last time. i'm allowed to pick one damn thing to clarify here within a bullshit rulebook, so let's clear up this: it's not like anyone is picking and choosing which to grab. one soul looks pretty much like another, you know? i've been waiting a pretty long time to see if any will be from my homeworld. none of you are. not like they're trying to grab anyone in particular. but if you were wondering about "why" it's "because you were fucking there". think of it like a band of traveling hoarders. they see remnants of a world in a mess of shards and pick them up before the shards disappear. i was a shard, but i still had my body. i also happened to not be on aht when it met its end. they don't stay put. pieces and bits of whatever. they travel, and some of them are already here, because you are. so i stick around because maybe eventually someone they pull out of the dark might be someone i knew. but yeah, no one gives a single fuck about worth. that's the mystical how do you choose me or this other person i remember who deserves it more answer: you happened to be there, and they weren't. or they haven't been yet. you're welcome. Wendy Guo Security/Archivist Retrspec Incorporated Hi! Just so you know, we've re-stabilized green! Although I see some alerts on my screen so that's not great, something else got knocked out? I have to go figure out what. But as a tip, unreality functions on a lot of loopholes. Try carrying some words around or thinking outside of the box if you get into a pinch, okay? Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated As of this post green has been entirely returned to the world and everyone's sense of taste has officially disappeared. You win some, you lose some. Please note that as tiers are reached we may delay them by a week or so per tier in order to allow people to play with the loss effects! While the world regains post may be used for OOC knowledge, please know that nothing is in effect until a mod-announcement goes up (this may be an IC announcement as well, depending.) The freebie that can be earned on this post requires one thread featuring at least five comments from you with one new character. Please note, we define "new character" as any of the incoming new characters from the application round (regardless of TDM tags you may have done with them) or any in-game character your character has not threaded with before. As usual, this regain should be turned into our regains request post with "December Freebie" and the qualifying thread link in the explanation section! As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past December. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

Hey, how do I delete this? I think I got added on accident. I don't know what any of this means.

[dandyofawolf]

You actually can't, I'm afraid. All of us were added without consent.

[spiritoso]

Really? Shouldn't all apps have some way they can be deleted?

[dandyofawolf]

They really should. Particularly when they are invasive like this one.

[optimistical]

Kaede, you got the app as well? They're really adding everyone now...

I don't know if I can answer a lot but if you have any questions, I can try to answer.

[spiritoso]

Wait, you have it too?

I don't even know where to start... What is this post about?

[optimistical]

Yeah, I technically had it in August for about a day before I got it permanently in September. It hasn't deleted itself from my phone since.

Honestly, that's what I want to know, but I think it's referring to the fact that we've had "other lives" and maybe how we were picked to... remember them? It's pretty hard to explain.

[ he still has trouble wrapping his head around it tbh ]

[cattack]

I've been stuck with this since May.
If there's a way to delete it, none of us know it.

[spiritoso]

Since May?

Are all the posts on this app weird like this?

[cattack]

From the ones who run the app? Yes.
Although this is rather upfront, honest, and remarkably nice for them.
Usually they're a bit more condescending.

[darkinferno]

trust me, it wasn't an accident

the best thing to do is get ready for anything, nothing's impossible when it comes to retrospec

[spiritoso]

What do you mean... That sounds really really ominous.

[darkinferno]

it should, that'll give you an idea of what you're dealing with

they replaced horses with chocobos, lost the colors blue and green and brought them back, somehow made us all six inches tall for a week or so, and a few months ago trapped a bunch of us outside of reality altogether

they also stuff your head full of memories that shouldn't belong to you but somehow DO

so a little caution's a good idea

[thebeastwithout]

yeah uh same

is this some kinda ARG? or like, one of those nerd things you people do where you pretend to be someone else, cause I understand zactly none of this

[spiritoso]

I was wondering the same thing too. Or is this some kind of weird story being told over an app?

[evidentiary]

Kaede, hello. I'm afraid it isn't an accident, but do let me know if I can give you a run down or any other help...

[spiritoso]

Kyouko?! You've got it too? How many people have this thing?

[megabond]

I guess most of the older users here already told you that the app is immune to deletion...

I'm sorry if you're frustrated about this...

[spiritoso]

Yeah, they have.

And it's fine. I guess I'm just glad I'm not going through this alone.

[falsepretentious]

You don't delete this app. It deletes you.



By which I mean your account, not your life.

[spiritoso]

Hey, you don't have to make it sound so threatening! >:(

[ and once the shock of that wears off: ]

But what do you mean? The app itself decides when we're done with it?

[alienated]

Good luck. People have been trying to get rid of it for months.

[spiritoso]

I've tried to delete it a few times and it's not working, but I guess that's not news is it? From everything I've read, it seems impossible to get rid of.

[promisedyou]

You and everyone else on this app.

[spiritoso]

So no one here signed up for this app on their own?
