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.

From the witness statements I've heard the Retrospec employees are indeed aliens or non-human at least.

[toobigtohandle]

... What witness statements?

[When did someone say anything like that did he miss it He probably did because he sucks at social media.]

[blessmefather]

In August when some app users ended up in unreality and others traveled to different worlds, one group was allowed to enter the Retrospec building and they came face to face with a couple employees.

[toobigtohandle]

Well, I know that, but how did we get from that to 'aliens' exactly?

[blessmefather]

Other worlds are other planets. Those from other worlds are aliens. Like Wendy for example.

[toobigtohandle]

This is the first time I hear about this 'different planets' things. Most of the the theories I've heard spoke of multiverse or alternate realities.

[blessmefather]

If all of the memories I have heard people experienced turn out to be from Earth alone I would be surprised. Even then would it be right to call two versions of Earth the "same planet?"

[toobigtohandle]

I... suppose so. I must admit to never having really thought about anything of the kind before.

But then wouldn't that means that we're all aliens to them?

[blessmefather]

Alien is another word for foreign after all.

[toobigtohandle]

That's true, but science had led us to believe that we had yet to find intelligent life anywhere in the reachable universe. And here they are coming and telling us they rescued us from different planets? How is that even possible? How does the technology for this even work.

[blessmefather]

You'll have to wait for the day Joanne gives us more information about what her job entails.

WHAT RLY!!!!!!
did somebody alien abduct us?!?! wtf but i've lived here forever
that makes NO SENSE

[blessmefather]

I was born here and only lived away during college. Their story doesn't fit our history at all. Then again more and more people are claiming that we actually were the people the Memories belong to and there's reason to believe they were from other worlds.
