[ Welcome to CUBEnix's office where the sleek design of modern tech merges with the back drop of ye old Art Deco interior. There's huge computer screens hanging from brackets from the ceiling, the beeps of an arcade game in the background and a bunch of scrolling code on the computer screen behind Yoon-sung. The man himself is dressed in his usual style of business casual by way of a designer brand though he had upgraded his usual scoop neck shirt for something less revealing to spare anyone of seeing his scarring. He also has acquired a spent bullet that someone strung on a piece of rawhide to turn into a necklace. ]

First off, I should welcome all our lovely new users to the Retrospec world where things don't make sense, and we are all going insane. The app is just our way to know who is part of the end users of this framework and who isn't. What I mean by that is those that can see and use the app are those who also notice all the changes happening in the world around us. Congratulations. We're all lost souls connected by a ghost program. If you have any questions about my experiences with it, just ask.

[ Because he is probably one of the few people who has managed to peek at the coding even if he didn't see anything of note. ] Second, what does love mean to you?

[ He could switch to text because it's not like his phone doesn't have a whole lot of paint on it already but..eh, just have his atelier as a backdrop for today. ]

Right now, I'm trying to figure that out myself.. But, generally, a certain loyalty.. I suppose?

[ Or a whole lot, at least on his end. ]

What on earth did that first part even mean. Is this going back to that idea we're in the Grid?

[ She'll get to the second part! but. Text for that first part because what. ]

not gonna lie dude

you totally look and sound like the plucky protag of a long running series about beating people up with a techno knife

Excuse you?

Souls? A program?

[ ... ]

Love is... a cat. Precious and can show affection, but sometimes unpredictable and can hurt.

Loyalty like what you would find with a pet or would find with a friend?

They said that they grabbed whatever souls were laying around right? What kind of framework would they need to staple us together with? Would we be made into near perfect bodies or are we actually experience a type of avatar in a computer system?

Me?

[ And here, have him laugh and when he starts talking again, there's going to be a hint of his accent before his Ivy School accent comes back. ]

Why would you say that? I'm just an CEO in charge of this branch of Father's company.

I take it you skipped the answer post the staffers from Retrospec posted? It's not hard to miss considering how it gets everywhere.

That makes some sense I guess.

I don't know? I'm just asking what you're saying. I'd always figured it was magic, but what you're saying is that we're all playing some Last Fantasy type thing?

Considering that Last Fantasy is my company's baby, it's what first comes to mind when people talk about how this isn't our real world. I can be a lot wrong, but isn't it normal to think in familiar terms first in any case?

Which means that you might be more familiar with magic, while I'm looking at this in the form of scifi. And since they never really have come out to say exactly what they used, we can always just keep guessing as to what is happening, right?

No, no, you have a point. My way of thinking is just being lazy on my part - well, lazy and what I saw in August seemed so impossible I have no idea how technology would even *create* a library like that. It's not like the world my soul's apparently from had magic in it other than... vampires who are basically mage.

... There weren't witches or wizards, I mean. I think.

But oh, you're that Last Fantasy guy? I'm going to be new player soon, I think! I won a big sub and play set recently after all.

[ from Ninja Warrior. ]

No. I did not. However, it is... unfortunate that you confirm it in such a way.

[ pretty matter-of-fact? or maybe Leaks is just tone deaf. either/or. ]

I am glad. But why do you ask about love? Are you a modern age philosopher?

Having a single muffin left and choosing to share the bigger half with someone else, rather than keeping it for yourself.

[... I'm sorry.]

I've only used this app for a short while and it's been strange, yeah.

Tell me more. What's the craziest thing that you've seen?

All you need is the right framework and anything is possible with code. Mage is another name for magic-users tbh.

I'm the Last Fantasy guy, yes. You did? Cool, I hope you enjoy it. Not everyone is good with games like ours.

I think I'm one of the first people to get sucked into this Waken state tbh.

Not really. I just had a hallucinomemory pop up concerning it and wanted to know how others view it.

I do that all the time except when I decide that I'm willing to exercise for another twenty minutes. It's not really having to do with love though, just me trying to keep my figure.

So what you were getting at there is that we should be looking at all this as if it were code? Or what did you mean by your experiences?

Mmhm! For the Ninja Warrior thing. No idea if I'll like it (no offense!) but my son's girlfriend's a fan so I'll probably hassle her to help me figure it out so I don't have this waste away.

Also love is love. I'm not sure what needs to be defined there.

Craziest? When everyone was about three to six inches high and the rest of the world was still made for normal sized people. I ended up buying a Barbie Dream House and hung out with another guy who did the same thing and we created a Barbie Dream Block of parties.

It was pretty fun until a gang of wasps showed up.

I'm thinking that it might be one of the things running the background keeping this whole system together. I mean, we did find code pieces and parts of electronic grids during the days of being three inches high.

As long as someone enjoys it is all that matters, right?

Okay, so how far would you go for love?

Oh did we? I didn't really hear about that (or I forgot). Given its an app and those weird generator things under the university, it's clear there *some* technology and such involved at least.

How far? That sounds a little foreboding but . . . I suppose as far as needs to be taken?

for me, love is feeling safe with another person

when they feel like home

why are you asking?

We did, right before that stuff with the barcodes and whatever happened. I had a list of stuff we've found but I might have it in my other pants.

Would you kill for love?

Oh, a little this and that got me thinking, that's all.

[ Private ]
Between you, me and the wall, I got a hallucinomemory of telling my father to leave my loved ones alone or I will hurt the only thing he cares about. Namely. Me.

And proved it by stabbing myself in the hand.

what

Okay so you so realize that both of those statements make you sound bizarre, right?
