Unwelcome Mystery
I got a package from Retrospec... and the item inside is strange. A kataginu, which is a kind of sleeveless jacket worn more commonly a few hundred years ago in Japan. It also happens to match the one I saw part of in that strange and vivid dream I had several weeks ago, which is unnerving me.
There's a family crest on the back as well, which is stranger still. I recognise the clan and considering the rest of that 'dream' I had it's... well, I feel odd just looking at it.
If anyone has a rational explanation for this I would gladly welcome it right now.

Remarkable.
I'd like to see it myself.

Feel free to come round my small place, if possible, I finished work an hour ago. This is what was waiting for me.

a kataginu sounds like an artifact that belongs in a museum
you don't collect such things, or have a profession related to history, do you?
no subject
But yes, it does, doesn't it? But I don't collect them, or practice history. Nothing like that at all. The most I can say is that I have decent knowledge of certain era.
no subject
but "reward," huh? i wonder if it has anything to do with the "prize" that was mentioned?
lucky you to get something though, no matter how strange!
it makes me wonder what sort of information Retrospec has on us, but at least this is something that pertains to your knowledge and interests

I have no rational explanation for any of this, and any explanations I can come up with only sound more and more insane.
no subject
What is this company doing? What... dare I say power do they hold? All the strangeness going on started when the app downloaded itself to our phones and every explanation really does sound mad...

I am getting totally jealous here.
Congrats on your mystery prize though.
Vintage jackets are pretty cool.
Pics?
no subject
[He posts a link to a photo of the jacket! Just of the front. He's still feeling a little to odd about what he found on the back.]
It's incredibly vintage... if it really is hundreds of years old. The style and the crest suggest as much but it's in pristine condition.
no subject
You should wear it.
See if you can start a new trend.

I'm new, so I may know less.
Is it a common occurrence for them to do that?
Sending gifts based on dreams.
You didn't talk about it publicly before, right?
Otherwise I can't think of any other way they'd would know what exactly to sent you.
no subject
And there's only one person I described my previous dream to... Hibiki is not someone who would have shared that information without permission, either. Unless someone in that cafe was listening in to us for one reason or another, which is unnerving on its own.
sorry for late reply, i had a rough health week
I believe you about your friend not being the type to freely speak about personal matters.
Anyone could have overheard or recorded your conversation.
There is no such thing as having complete privacy in public spots especially those filled with people.
[Especially whenever it concerns collecting information. Big chain corporations make millions off of their client's or member's e-mails and cellphone numbers. Just like social media sites do. Restrospec is no different neither. She has a feeling they may be monitoring everyone using their phones. Government agencies are known to do the same too.]
But, about these vision and dreams though, you mention someone fearing the items will trigger one.
Are you saying you aren't the only ones having them?
it's 100% okay it's been the same for me, take care, dear

If I may ask, have you eaten anything out of the ordinary lately?

I see. Thank you.
There seems to be a force at work here that we do not yet know. I intend to gather data on what happens to the people given access to this network.
Do you know if the kataginu is modern manufacture?

Did you describe the seal here at all? Perhaps they are simply sending you a gift because of your suggestions for improvement?
