001 // a very bear-y christmas

Xiaolang Li shared a photo. 12/15 near Birch Hills

A general question: has anyone ever received something from Retrospec that was intended for somebody else? Or something you were certain WASN'T yours, even if the ticket said otherwise? Because I do have memories of a bear, but it definitely was not THIS one.

((pretend this bear is 100% handmade and doesn't have the Stieff logo or the name on it's foot, okay--))

One bear can't hurt...

It wouldn't, but it'd just be pointless decoration.

You wind up with too much clutter in your space if you hang onto things without any purpose or meaning.

[cornets]

I get that
But if you don't remember it how can you say it doesn't have meaning?

[cardcaptured]

[... this is true, though he doesn't really want to admit to that.]

Well, if it was important, I'd remember it right away just by looking at it, wouldn't I? The one that came to mind when I got this one looked nothing like this.

[cornets]

Sometimes you remember later?? I don't really know how it works but it's happened to me before

[cardcaptured]

What happened in your case, then? Was it something similar?

[cornets]

Remember when there was a lot of fog in october?
Stuff from our past lives would come out of it...
I guess it was sort of important but i didn't remember it right away

I only received the app last month, so no, I don't remember it. But I've definitely heard about it, though, from the other users I've talked to, so I know... more than enough about what happened. [Not to mention someone close to him got too much involved for his comfort, so--]

Are you saying you saw something come out of the fog that you didn't recognize but did later on?

[cornets]

That's right
After I got home and calmed down
I remembered what it was

[cardcaptured]

What was it?

... if you don't mind me asking, that is.

[cornets]

[How does he go around explaining it...]

The other me had a lot of spiritual power
Enough that it could be seen and even boost his actual body
It looked like a crazy buff guy with red wings

[cardcaptured]

[... where does he even begin with this]

That sounds an awful lot like something from an--

[--anime, but, no, he's not about to reveal his deeper nerd levels as of yet.]

So the... buff guy with the wings was something you saw in that fog? I heard it showed people things from their memories that attacked them, but it's odd that something that something that was part of you could have been involved in that.

[cornets]

From an??

I guess it was still pretty important to him but i still don't know why yet
Maybe it's the same for you and the bear
