retrospec | TEXT ✍ participation is voluntary

Hello. In light of recent speculation, the publication of a comprehensive guide, and the one year anniversary of the Retrospec App's release, I'm putting a survey forward in regards to some of the personal affects of being a Retrospec user. You can see by my profile that I haven't been a user for very long myself, so the breadth of my knowledge has come from limited personal experience and the willingness of the user base to share. I'm asking for that again, if you're able to participate.

I'm hoping to find some sort of pattern in acquisition of memories and skills, whether by the nature of the skill and/or memory, the catalyst, the timeline, etc. Given the time consuming nature of personally reaching out to each member, I've provided a form below that you can fill out at your leisure. As stated in the disclaimer on the form, participation is voluntary and may be kept confidential if you prefer. I'll be compiling the data and making it available for the community in two weeks time, if a sufficient number of responses are received.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I appreciate your time.

- Akira Turner

[ Users will see the electronic form shown below available for submission. If your character wants the information to be private, just label it as private in the subject of your comment. I will actually be analyzing the data, so actual participation is awesome! If you indicate that your character is open for follow up questions, Akira would like to chat with you on this post. If you leave that public, it's free for all for anyone else lurking to jump in.

Thanks! ]

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary. Due to the nature of this service, all responses posted to the network will be available for public viewing.

By completing this survey, I am acknowledging that I have read the above disclaimer and understand the risks and benefits.

Would you care to share the other overlaps?

Yes, thank you. That was a one time experience, fortunately.

[ That he is actually going to stew about for...probably ever. Until he can determine it doesn't mean he's going to die here. But you know. ]

[He hesitates, but then again, not talking about it hasn’t done him much good so far.]

I don’t know how much you know about Japanese history (I’m not very good at it myself) but
apparently Okita Souji died of tuberculosis
I have had other health issues affecting my lungs

I’m glad it was an isolated event then, at least
hopefully you won’t have anything worse to remember

[ He is familiar with many aspects of it, but it's mostly been for school and it's a top level understanding. Most of his research into Japan has been for modern history such as the current political climate. But the name Okita Souji is one he's heard before, in relation to the police force in the 1800s, if he remembers correctly. ]

I see. I'm sorry to hear that.

[ He can imagine that must feel foreboding. Akira can certainly relate to fearing ones own death. ]

I'm hoping that too.

its okay
I mean it's something I've lived with for a while so I guess it's not as shocking to me as it would be to some
but I'm not exactly looking forward to the memories of that

hopefully you'll get some more pleasant memories next time at the very least
