[recollecters]

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.

past me would've probably found retrospec hq and made them undo everything they ever did in the past year
not like i've gotten anywhere trying that so far

[eyestitch]

have you seen the current state of the "retrospec hq" these days?

current you might be s-o-l on that one

unless past you really really loved waffles.

[frostythehitman]

oh current me was totally sol in there
trust me i tried
but i'm sure there's some way down into some underground bunker from there
i couldn't find it but past me probably could
he was good at that stuff

[eyestitch]

maybe when you successfully become one with yourself again you can be the first person who unlocks the true secret of the whiffle-waffle!

what do they put in their crepe sauce???

[frostythehitman]

how should i know i never ate there
i'm not gonna eat in enemy territory

[eyestitch]

oooooh, you must be gluten free!

you know i think they make a lot of gf batter mixes these days! you'd probably be totally fine!

[frostythehitman]

i don't have a gluten problem
i just don't believe in eating food that was made in the belly of the beast
i'm not poisoning my body with enemy waffles

[eyestitch]

buddy

they're just waffles, you know?

it's not like the supermarket or the corner store or any of the other restaurants aren't just as likely to be "enemy territory"

especially with your food allergies!

[frostythehitman]

the supermarket or the corner store or literally anything else aren't built on top of tainted retrospec land
doesn't matter if it's waffles or eggs or soup
any food made on top of that hellhole is automatically tainted

[eyestitch]

you used the word "tainted" appx. a million times there.

oh. my god. it's not food allergies at all, is it? it's some kind of crazy ocd!

so should i maybe not tell you that retrospec has got stuff going on all over the city?

[frostythehitman]

wow i didn't realize that the number between 1 and 3 was a million

yeah retrospec's all over the city sure
but their hq was in only one place
do you really think the waffle shop there is totally innocent when their hq vanished overnight and they popped up instead

[eyestitch]

i said approximately, so i'm allowed to be a little off in my total count!

nope, i think it's totally a shady operation!

ok, but let's entertain the thought for a sec here. what do you think they could put in the waffle batter than would cause such a big problem?

[frostythehitman]

idk
that's the point
they could put literally anything in there
they can take body parts from us whenever they want or stuff our heads full of weird memories
they can decide whether or not horses even exist
who KNOWS what the hell they could be doing to that waffle batter
for all we know it could open up a black hole in the middle of your stomach once you eat it
and that wouldn't even be the weirdest thing i've heard in the past month
