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.

They sent you clothing from your dream? That almost defies explanation. But I believe you, Jūbei.

Remarkable.

I'd like to see it myself.

what do you mean from Retrospec...?
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?

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-02 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm impressed you were brave enough to open it! though i might have been too curious as not to either
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

true_noir: (Not my favorite of topics)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-03-02 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
They mailed me a fondue fork. Nothing more complicated than a simple, metal fondue fork, and I have no idea why. I have no strange memories about it, nothing. It is just this little fork in a box, and yet I don't feel like I should get rid of it for some reason.

I have no rational explanation for any of this, and any explanations I can come up with only sound more and more insane.
true_noir: (Cloak9)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-03-02 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I worry a little that my fork will have something to do with another vision, and hints that one might be coming. And, the fact that they seem to feel free to invade our lives as much as they do says that they both have the power to do so, and no issues with doing so.

Okay it's official.
I am getting totally jealous here.
Congrats on your mystery prize though.
Vintage jackets are pretty cool.
Pics?
borntoolate: (interested)

[personal profile] borntoolate 2017-03-05 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow that is super vintage!
You should wear it.
See if you can start a new trend.

[personal profile] agathism 2017-03-03 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
I kinda wish I had one to offer, sorry.
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.
agathism: (❃ curious concern)

sorry for late reply, i had a rough health week

[personal profile] agathism 2017-03-10 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
That does sound very unnerving to overhear.
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?

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

[ That definitely rules out hallucinogens. Not that he had banked much upon that theory in the first place... ]

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?

[personal profile] liberal_arts 2017-03-03 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a bit odd.

Did you describe the seal here at all? Perhaps they are simply sending you a gift because of your suggestions for improvement?
liberal_arts: (daylight breaking overhead)

[personal profile] liberal_arts 2017-03-04 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. That IS peculiar. And a little creepy, too. Unless you're a dream prophet.
