[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.

You had a good point.
Is there a problem with that?

I'm...alright, all things considered.
But there's a lot to process. I'm not sure what the best course of action to take would be right now.

[maskreant]

you're allowed to feel whatever as long as you get your act together. don't worry about it.

don't let this stop you from living your life is all i can say.

[unidolize]

And what constitutes "getting my act together"?
Is it truly possible to live my life knowing that these people are constantly watching?

[maskreant]

resolve?

yeah. in time, you get used to it. i don't think they're always watching us, though. they're a bit understaffed.

[unidolize]

...Okay, then.
If I may ask, what sorts of experiences have you had with this app?
What do getting the memories back feel like?
How do you let them impact your everyday life, if at all?

people asking for opinions on their memories or the items they receive. sometimes you will find some that ask for opinions on trivial stuff like costumes.

getting your memories back feels as if you're reliving the memory. they're vivid and every emotion can be felt. that's what makes them difficult to handle, i think.

sometimes, the people in your memories are here in Recolle. those lingering feelings can bleed into your life.

[unidolize]

I am already starting to see that here... Someone's asking about weapons. What on earth is Retrospec hoping to accomplish by sending us firearms?

...I see. That must be difficult, especially for those who "regain" memories that are traumatic in nature.

So it's possible that you and another person may be in each others' memories?

[maskreant]

not sure. not everyone gets weapons, though. some only get clothes.

yeah. it's possible that you and a handful of people share the same memory. i have several people here i recognize from them. sometimes it's comforting.

sometimes it's awkward.

[unidolize]

...I see.

How interesting, that people leading completely different lives here could be connected through these "memories".

I suppose this is going to take some getting used to, then.

And I guess I can't fault you for meme-ing at me earlier. Someone told me that posting those is a way you all cope with this mess.

[maskreant]

i recommend tubs of ice cream.

also to not meme too much. you might turn into a monster.

[ is she doing this right ]

[maskreant]

careful, Dia.

the transformation is starting. i can imagine your eyes bulging into anime eyes and expression turning :3!
