retrospec | loading...

Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

hold on there's a storm of souls coming to the city

and we're supposed to stay calm?!

i don't know who to go for ofuda! i don't wanna be cursed or anything

the fact that you're on this app at all means you're already cursed
~surprise~

uuuuuuu

noooo

i knew it

i knew i should have seen an exorcist instead of a hacker

what did you think the hacker was going to do

I think we're the souls, right?
So maybe there won't be any more souls than usual.

i dunno... i don't like the idea of retrospec touching my soul in any way

or being involved in my soul

cause you know

it means the techno singularity happened and thats terrifying

Even without a singularity, everything we experience as living beings is touching our souls all the time!

Isn't it?

sorta, i think

but i still don't like retrospec being involved in the business of souls

Yeah it's unnerving when they say it like that.
But I guess they've always been pretty involved in soul stuff. I mean, the whole thing is about merging other souls into us, right? Or . . . activating the second soul that was already there. Or something like that.

oh my god

i

never thought of it that way

Oh!
How have you been thinking of it?

I havent

i try not to

Oh lol that was me for like the entire month of December
It's hard to stay mentally and emotionally balanced in the midst of all this stuff

well
yato's garbage ofuda is still hanging up in the apartment
whatever that's worth

it doesn't say anything about souls

just death to all invaders

everything you dont like is technically an invader if you stay inside the apartment but it tries to affect you anyway, you know
do you think taking advantage of divine decree wording works
