voice| on the other (octopus) hand

[ohrlyeh]

[Usually Howard interacts with the network through text, since he's nervous of using any other format, but this time, his deep and weary voice can be heard.]

Um. A question out of curiosity, I-I suppose. If you've "received" a physical change through Retrospec, what was it? If you've received several, what is the worst one...?

[There's the sound of something falling off a table onto the floor. He lets out a shuddering sigh, his tone slightly exasperated.]

Yeah. [A pause.] Before I forget, I need someone who can go out and get some groceries for me. I'll pay you for it. I just don't feel like going outside for a while. I-I'm fine...really...............

[ooc: somebody's got tentacle hands now. life is fun!]

[ Could it be something with his eyes, again? No. What a surprise, though, to actually hear Howard record his voice and post it asking for help. It warms the heart a little, and he wonders how many will hop to assist. Many, of course. He is well-loved, even if he doesn't realize how warm the circle that surrounds him is. Hm, the circle that surrounds, huh? ]

[maidofmistakes]

I... kind of have super strength now. Is that a physical change or just a "help, I'm breaking everything I touch" change?

[beneathmoonlight]

Well, I just woke up with white hair with a black stripe in it. So that and my eyes.

I don’t mind helping you get groceries if you need it, Howard-san, but I hope you’re okay.

[thesettingsun]

The ink blood is definitely the most dramatic change for me.

I'll be over in fifteen minutes.

[Maybe not with groceries, but with hugs.]

[odasaku]

No changes from me.

I’ll pick up your groceries, but can you do something in return? I picked up Sakura’s mail and it’s grown teeth. It’s locked in a spare room but I’d rather keep Akage safe...

[godcards]

[ Is it possible to sound bitter and smug at the same time? Because Malik is. ]

Oh? So Retrospec ruined your life too, I presume.

[ Well, since Howard's doing it...! ]

Hi, Mr. Carter!
...I haven't gotten any kind of physical change yet. Or, um, anything at all. Except for the memories. It kind of makes me paranoid... Like, are they sending all my stuff, or, like, inflicting transformations on someone else accidentally? Or am I going to wake up one these days and have everything all at once?...

[ascatic]

I have received two. The ears and the tail of a black cat.

I would say it is the tail. I cannot stop myself from knocking things over and it is terribly difficult to control.

[ sigh. ]

[frostythehitman]

my arm got amputated in the middle of the night
it was my dominant hand too
they sent me a prosthetic a few weeks ago for it but that was like six months later

what'd they do to you
i'm guessing it's something that's keeping you from doing your groceries

My sister and I both had similar changes. I see she's already commented, too. I'm the same as Kara, my physical strength has been increased to an almost absurd point.

I've had to replace several doorknobs, and I totally shattered a keyboard.

[Kara's voice turns somewhat sympathetic. His name is one she recognizes from the grad student lists...]

What changed in you, Howard? I'm a biology professor, if you didn't recognize my name.

[me_matey]

well sakuras hair turned purple but i think she looks good wit it

but one of my friends had a tentacle arm for a bit he was hella worried bout it but i told him it was gonna be fine and now it is!

[parodeity]

Scars.

[ that seems like a brief enough summation of the worst. ]

And I don't mind pickin' up groceries.

text

[erythristic]

i know not what afflicts you, but i've been offering assistance and advice to those physically changed by retrospec. would you care for me to come and see you?

[just going to casually link her own ad. no sense repeating it, and he could also see Aki's testimonial.]

[ While she answers, it sounds like she's in surprisingly good humor. Or at least, trying to do comforting mom voice ]

Honestly, I think my whole body's been replaced here. First my eyes, then my hair. Then my muscles and I gained some more powers. And now, finally, all the rest of me.
