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!

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.

Oh really?
That's too bad.
Wonder why they can't.
Then again, I'm not very good at understanding the significance of poetry.
Unless I'm given a hint.

[destiny_key]

probably the same reason none of us can go back to the places in our memories
they dont exist anymore
at least i dont think they do

poetry???
hey um
did you just get this app???

[drizzle]

oh?
i had no idea they lost their home.
that's too bad.

i did!
why?
is it pretty obvious?

[destiny_key]

kinda yeah
youre kinda acting like this is all make believe
or just a story

but i guess just no ones explained the situation to you yet???
its kind of a lot

[drizzle]

Isn't it just that?
A story?
Unless this is one of those creepy pasta things I heard so much about.

[destiny_key]

no???
its all stuff thats really happening right now

like
do you remember horses???

[drizzle]

Uh huh.
Horses?
Give me a second to think about it.
I have tennis and finals in the brain right now.

[Among other things: like internships, aikido advice to offer, parkour, and some vigilante party plans.]

Weird.
Now that you mentioned it, wasn't it always chocobos???
Wait. Why does it feel like horse has always been a thing?

[destiny_key]

because they have
chocobos replaced horses like six months ago or something
before that it was horses

but now normal people just think horses are a myth
thats part of the stuff retrospec messes with

[drizzle]

How did they manage that?

Is there anything else they messed with?
Other than the obvious....

[Taste buds, for one. She knows the person above took responsibility of the loss of it and return of color? Whatever that means.]

[destiny_key]

theres a lot of stuff
idk i think theres probably a list somewhere???
some of its hard to describe

a lot of its temporary but some stuff is permanent

[drizzle]

I'll have to go searching through this mountain of posts!
Thanks for the hint.
You may just be the least crazy person in this whole thing.
Or at least, gave me a good reason behind everyone else acting like they're insane.

Before I stop bothering you, can you at least tell the permanent stuff isn't as bad as losing the ability to taste?

[destiny_key]

youre not bothering me!!!

but um
a lot of the permanent stuff happens individually???
like i know some girls whos hair turned pink
and a guy whos eyes changed color

but also stuff like the horses
or buildings changing places

[drizzle]

Does a headpat emoji exist?
Cause I'd give you one if I could.

That sounds kinda cool and terrifying all at once.
I wanna believe it's like plastic surgery, but...
And no one reacts weirdly to these changes?
Like family or friends?

Wait! Buildings have changed places!?
Which ones?

[destiny_key]

no one who doesnt have the app
other people just act like thats the way its always been

the buildings one was like last month so i dont know all of them???
there was a lot of those too
like i know all the bakeries combined into one big bakery

[drizzle]

Geez! So specific and overly....thorough???
How do you even describe any of this?
No one wonder everyone sounds insane.

How long have you had this app for?

[destiny_key]

since may
so a while
but not as long as some people

i guess this all started happening in like february

[drizzle]

congratulations on not having lost your mind for this long! 🎉

oh, so there's people who have been here longer?
that's interesting.
it's still pretty recent since it isn't a year old yet.

[Can she even consider that lucky?]

i think i'm going to keep in contact with you.
is that okay with you?

[destiny_key]
