[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.

that's oddly inspiring.

not that i intend to "embrace" him anytime soon, but if i can use his abilities for my own benefit, maybe his perspective could be useful.

[Mysterious Masked Past Self would just break down everything in his way, and Ren has to admit it's not a method he's opposed to.]

[eyestitch]

what do you mean "oddly," sweetie?

OF COURSE IT'S INSPIRING!

i think you're onto something there, but yknow... to use his abilities the way he used them, you have to think like him too, don't you?

["Sweetie"...............]

i'm not about to adopt his nonchalance towards mass murder, but i might be able to gain some insight with more of his memories. i guess.

i don't care whatever he was involved with in the past, anyway. and sticking to only his perspective would only limit me. really, he should be grateful to me for giving him the opportunity to do something new.

whoa whoa whoa whoa

can you back that one up a little bit?

'nonchalance to mass murder?' like, did you/he not care about mass murder or were you/he complicit in some?

dang though, you have a pretty high opinion of yourself after all, huh?

[lostapprentice]

he killed people. i haven't and don't plan to.

i'm better than he was and that's enough. i can at least say i have a sense of morality.

[eyestitch]

i kinda appreciate your honesty, you know? it sorta sounds like you didn't have a big panicky freakout about it either like a lot of other people... since i'm saying we all need to accept who we were-are, though, i guess it's a tough pill to swallow when people died because of you!

[Which, of course, is something she's also been dealing with, but who wants to hear that story from silly ol' her?]

are you sure his sense or morality just wasn't way different from yous?

[lostapprentice]

i can "accept" that's what he was without becoming him or condoning what he did.

of course i'm sure. if i start compromising on "it's bad to kill innocent people" i'd be considered some form of terrible, if not evil.
