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

If it existed, I think my other self was too busy with his mission to think much on it. They spent pretty much their entire life in Japan, in one era or another.

[robitussin]

i don't remember it but i only remember like three things

what was in the august tunnels

[frostythehitman]

do you know if they were in real places in japan
or were the places that don't exist in the real world

[frostythehitman]

they were all connected
so the library was connected to the shed in the woods was connected to the subway was connected to the retrospec building
but as far as i can tell they all closed up
the subway tunnels we have now don't lead back to any of those other tunnels

[floret]

What if the tunnels stop existing while we're in them though?

[liberal_arts]

Everything from my other self's past is real, certainly, but I don't actually know the location of the citadel myself and the other sword warriors reside in in the future, though I'm assuming it's still in Japan.

[frostythehitman]

idk
maybe you get trapped inside and you have to become a mole person
maybe you glitch out and get teleported to retrospec
maybe you just straight up die
like i know how any of this works

[frostythehitman]

so it was a version of real historical japan then
well
at least it's one more bit of proof that the worlds we're remembering are pretty real
everything about this country is exactly the same as i remember it re: geography
save for recolle of course

[drydrown]

Well, if Recollé existed in whatever insipid fantasy world I came from, then I certainly don't know about it. Given that I've remembered more about cities and locations than I have things that aren't a total waste of time, that seems something of a long shot.

Is there even anything worthwhile in those tunnels? I've honestly no idea why anyone would bother going into someplace like that, it seems repulsive.

[liberal_arts]

That travel guide many of us found in the subway system seems to suggest this city was founded and colonized as a settlement. That could explain its absence. Something that is unique only to this particular version of Earth.

[glaciers]

I've never heard of it existing.
But I haven't remembered a geography lesson.

[heroforall]

Maybe it's not meant to have existed in any of our worlds.
It could be its own separate thing with access to other worlds.
Like a bridge or something.

[Or he's taken in way too many sci-fi cliches. Who knows.]

The old tunnels have just vanished?
Maybe they thought we'd learned all we could from those ones.
Otherwise what would be the point in making them go away when we've already been down there?

[floret]

Maybe we'd clip through the walls and floor like in a game by Siloam . . .

I'm curious, but it's too risky to actually try it.

[frostythehitman]

yeah but
why THIS earth
why right here
why not just set all this up in new york city or whatever

[frostythehitman]

maybe we should set up a camera down there and see what happens
you got a spare gopro?

[frostythehitman]

well if you believe all the brochures and trains and crap down there then yeah that's exactly what this all is
but then why is there no version of recolle getting built anywhere else
why is HERE the only world that's got it

[ and boy howdy, THAT'S an incredibly generous view on the tunnels. ]

or maybe the tunnels vanished bc they knew we were getting too close to whatever they didn't want us to find out about
they hide their hq and then close up the tunnels we knew about that led to it?
i call bs
it's just another way for them to try and keep us out and keep us clueless

[frostythehitman]

yeah neither have i exactly
but i've got enough of a sense of geography from other-me's world to take a good guess
this survey only really works if someone DOES actually remember recolle and then disproves all of this
otherwise we're never gonna be sure
but it's the best i've got

[glaciers]

I know Japan exists here and there. So that's something.
America's a big place. I don't even know all the cities in Seattle.
I think somebody would need to be from Recolle in their other life. It could exist and people could be unaware of it.

[frostythehitman]

the last set of tunnels from august used to lead right into the retrospec building so yeah
they were pretty worthwhile
haven't been able to find any sign of them in these new ones though
go figure
just a bunch of stuff that wants to kill you and things that raise more questions than answer them

[liberal_arts]

I haven't a single earthly clue

-This isn't the time for puns.-

[frostythehitman]

it's all mixed up between real and fantasy in the places i remember
camp lehigh doesn't exist here, but it's supposed to be in virginia
bastogne, belgium is real but kronas, russia isn't
arnhem, netherlands is real but auschenberg, germany isn't
and all the countries are the same
it's like the major details match up but the smaller stuff gets murky and can go either way

[glaciers]

I didn't find anything when I googled Yuuei.
But I don't remember anything really specific about the geography or cities.
I guess the places can take some liberties.

[drydrown]

...That sounds positively charming. What in the world sort of eldritch terror was the Retrospec building, even - this isn't the first time I've heard of sudden, random passages leading into and out of it.

[concasse]

maybe but my past self lived on some huge ass ocean and was a pirate so

unless recolle was a place he hadn't visited...

[floret]

Not even close. I'm pretty sure I have my mom's old phone somewhere, but I don't think we'd be able to set up a livestream unless the tunnels have wifi . . .
There are probably some needlessly rich people on retrospec we could get to contribute, right?
