SURVEY
does anybody remember recolle existing at all in whatever world you're remembering stuff from
bc i havent met anyone who does so far
even when people remember plenty of places that do exist like towns in japan or countries and cities in europe
i haven't seen anyone who remembers recolle yet
if anyone does remember it speak up now
if no one does then it must mean....something
idk what

other than that
if anyone wants to go looking for the tunnels that we found in august don't bother
i just tried them and they're basically gone
like they never even existed
can't even find the entrances to them
the same might happen to the new ones too after a while
so if you want to go looking in them do it sooner rather than later

EDIT 1/23/18: if any rich people are willing to donate a gopro to livestream the subway tunnels
hmu
we're trying to find out what happens when they close up next too

most of the people and kids i know are military
we don't exactly get paid enough to flaunt it
unless you're like
a general maybe

[floret]

Is that strange? You'd think people whose job it is to voluntarily die in order to protect the nation or whatever would be compensated more handsomely.

Though I suppose nowadays it's more about "furthering national interests" than "ensuring the nation keeps existing" . . .?

I guess I don't actually know that much about the military.

[frostythehitman]

it depends on a lot of stuff
like rank
the higher your rank the more you get paid
but generally you get enough and not much more
plus a bunch of perks that don't actually translate to money

[floret]

But lower ranking people are actually more likely to die, right? It seems like they should get hazard pay.

Or does rank actually have nothing to do with whether you're on the front lines or not?

I mean, in situations where there are front lines.

[frostythehitman]

it's the army
EVERYONE'S likely to die
that's literally what the job IS
your job is to be ready to die
hazard pay's only for the most dangerous stuff
or sometimes if you're deployed in certain regions
but you don't automatically get it just because you're a private
infantry gets paid the same as everyone else

[floret]

Ok.

Are you going to enlist?

[frostythehitman]

nah
i thought about it
but i'm permanently barred from enlisting now so it doesn't matter anyway

[floret]

[ Oh yeah, the Arm Thing..........

Then again, maybe it's not the arm but juvenile delinquency or something? He doesn't know this dude's life.

Well, in either case, there's really only one thing to say. ]

Oh.
That sucks.

Have you been down to the tunnels?
The ones that currently exist, I mean.

[frostythehitman]

a couple times now yeah

[floret]

Are they very interesting? I heard there's a scary train or something.

[frostythehitman]

a bunch actually
i nearly got run over like three times
plus there's a ton of rats and moving vines
if you get past it though there's like an abandoned shopping mall down there

[floret]

What?? That's awful!
Ugh, I'm imagining someone dying down there from a train or getting eaten by rats or something... or even just getting horribly injured. How on earth would we explain it to their loved ones??


Is the abandoned mall nice though?

[frostythehitman]

probably make something up about a car accident tbh

the mall's weird
it's like
both modern and ancient at the same time
50s soda parlors next to radio shacks next to usb charging stations
and there was a retrospec store in there
more like a travel agency

[floret]

A travel agency...
To send people to different worlds or eras?

Did the charging stations still work?

[frostythehitman]

if you believe the book they had in there it was more of a travel agency where people could go after LEAVING their worlds
idk about the charging stations i didn't use them
but they probably worked
everything seemed to work in there it was just
empty and spanning like six decades

[floret]

So
Hmm.
Does that mean they'd help people book visits from all kinds of different worlds, to this one?

[frostythehitman]

sounded like it was more of an emergency situation
but hell if i know
why would they have travel brochures for places people couldn't go back to

[floret]

I've never heard of anything like an emergency travel agency. I mean, it'd be a great way to help refugees, but there couldn't possibly have been any money in it...
Is it possible Retrospec has been a heroic nonprofit all this time?

[frostythehitman]

no

[ you come into HIS HOUSE ]

[floret]

ok
