hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him.

looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess.

pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever.

that's about it.

wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess.

and that's really it. later.

True. I've been waiting for Retrospec to properly explain our difficulty communicating with the rest of the world but it's been how many months now?
It's like we've been removed from there and placed somewhere else with these villages nearby.

I'm beginning to wonder that, too.

Or, more accurately, I'm wondering if any of those memories of being outside the city were real in the first place.

Now, I'm not sure how that would work, and I don't like the idea of my folks not being real, but something about this whole situation just strikes me as off.

That's years of memories, entire people, connections between them, births and deaths. Crime, education, media and entertainment. That's more fiction than a person could write in a lifetime.
What would be the point of faking all of that?

I don't know. If there's anything I've learned about all of this, it's that the answer to a lot of things could be left up to "magic."

Hell, I'm apparently a magical being, myself.

Why create fictional lives for us though? Why not allow the reborn souls to determine their own new existence?

Were we really reborn?

Because, while I'm not exactly an expert on pulling souls from ruined worlds, it sounds more like we were fragmented, plucked from the void, and then stuck here.

If getting reborn is different from being remade via tools then I suppose the answer Retrospec has implied would be no. What would you consider rebirth to entail?

I don't know, I guess it depends on how much we've experienced here, in this life, is real.

People without the app have left the city since the app was introduced. I have a friend whose ex girlfriend left town at the beginning of the year. Where would she have gone if that outside world never existed?

How did she leave town if there wasn't an exit? The dome was up until February.

Perhaps she exited just before it went up. I would have to confirm the exact date. But there has been no sign of her in the city so it would seem she really left.

Maybe.

That would mean she slipped out in the dead of night on the first or second, right? Did she tell anyone she was missing? Because I'm gonna be honest, this sounds like some Crime Solvers crap.

It does now that you mention it. I don't think my friend thought too deeply about it. He was so upset by the breakup it might not have crossed his mind. He hasn't mentioned anything out of place but I don't now if he bothered to keep in any contact with her for even safety.

Maybe she's safe, but that situation sounds pretty sketchy, doesn't it?

I only knew her in passing so I don't know. But you're right. She left close enough to the day the dome went up to justify concern. I'll check into that.

Good luck. I mean it.

With how things have been lately, you never know.
