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. This post is the overflow for the post originally found here! Please feel free to make new toplevels or simply shift your threads over.

PENELOPE

[dulynoted]

And what about you? Another happy customer?

[mincingminuet]

No, not even a little.

It installed itself on all my devices in February. And it's not leaving.

[dulynoted]

So you were one of the first, then.

[ ...Hm. Is that significant? ]

[mincingminuet]

Yes, in the second group.

[What's this? Her rival asking questions and not being a shit? She can offer more info then.]

The first group was around for a month beforehand. And since me it's been every other month that a new batch is released. Until you. There were people last month, so your group and mine are breaks in a pattern.

[dulynoted]

[ Precisely that--he wants info. She may be a biased source (and he my be biased in judging what she does offer), but she knows that she's observant enough to offer something of value.

As much as it may pain him on some level. ]

I see. So the first group are the people who were spoken to on the 1/31 launch. The second are from the one exactly one month later.

[ Hm...and then not until now? ]

It looked like that second wave was due to a failed code push.

[ What does that mean? ]

[mincingminuet]

It does. But then that might make this one the same.

Honestly, there isn't enough information to go on, as far as the why is concerned. But there is a pattern that's only been broken twice.

It very likely is not significant, of course, given that Retrospec seems capable of doing whatever they want.

[dulynoted]

Any break in the pattern is enough to note, though a pattern that isn't well-established to begin with would lead to false positives.

There seems to be some debate on their intent behind all of this.

[ Understatement? ]

[mincingminuet]

I think that their intent is exactly as stated. To revive dead worlds that were tied to our souls.

It's too outlandish to not have at least some grain of truth, especially after some of the things that occurred in August.

[dulynoted]

When all options are equally improbable...

I'm still going through posts. Is this when people were turning into animals? Or when monsters the size of buildings came to Recolle?

[mincingminuet]

Both. That all happened at the same time.

[dulynoted]

[ ...Of course it did. ]

That must have been quite the month.

[mincingminuet]

Yes, it was.

And I know you're thinking it is not possible, but ask anyone who's been on the network long enough to remember.

[dulynoted]

Most of this sounds impossible, but I realize that I have to suspend disbelief to even consider any of this.

[mincingminuet]

Get used to that.

[dulynoted]

Words of wisdom.
